I’ve been looking forward to Hannah & Simon’s wedding since their beautiful engagement session at Kuitpo Forest, (which just happened to be shared on Polka Dot Bride just one week after their wedding!) They chose one of my favourite venues for their wedding day, Russell’s Pizza, the perfect, quirky venue in stunning Port Willunga. Their day was a rustic and relaxed way to celebrate their love with the people they love the most, their friends and family.

Tracey and Brendan had a very well executed surprise wedding (staged as an engagement party) at Al Ru Farm. We even had a false date and wedding venue alibi for any guest or family member who asked.

Bec & Brady had a super fun wedding full of love and laughter. These two high school sweet hearts make an adorable couple, and capturing their bridal party portraits and first look before the ceremony meant we could dive straight into the party with their friends and family.

Jade and Bill had a beautifully classic wedding at the Gate House at Glen Ewin Estate on a beautiful late October day. With soft decor of whites and green, delicate touches, sparkling fairy lights and big glowing letters it was a feast for the eyes. I’m absolutely loving taking some extra portraits at night, especially when a sunset fails to shine through an overcast sky. And Jade and Bill? What more can I say, other than a beautiful couple beautifully suited to each other. Who got to spend a wonderful day together sharing their love with family and friends. As always, I’ll keep my words short and let the images do the talking.

Whether you believe rain on a wedding day symbolises good luck, fertility (many babies), a cleansing of the souls as they become one, or all of the above. There is no doubt in my mind that Michelle and Richard’s wedding at the Adelaide Zoo was full of all the good things.

Niamah and Michael’s wedding day was magical, but not in the usual sense. It was magical in the truly magical sense, a fantastic fantasy wedding inspired by Harry Potter. With broomsticks for bridesmaid bouquets, and Harry Potter decor and tributes so tastefully done it felt as though we were standing on the Harry Potter film set.

Lily and Kaes’ wedding at Sunnybrae Estate was a gorgeous affair full of beautiful moments and hilarious dance moves. Married by a close friend (who came all the way from France) and surrounded by loved ones beneath sunny skies.

This was such a magical forest wedding, on Spring solstice in gorgeous Burbrook Forest, Kuitpo, Adelaide. With bare feet grounding them to the earth Kerry and Scott married in nature surrounded by their family, close friends and children. On top of this beautiful and symbolic wedding, involving a promise stone during the exchange of rings, were beautiful bohemian touches. From a chandelier hanging amongst the trees, to lovely lawn games, delicious tapas, cool kombi vans, soulful acoustic tunes and just a welcoming and relaxed vibe. With the festoon lights shining brightly as the sun slowly set, it was just such a great atmosphere.

Ben and Shannon’s wedding day was very casual and relaxed, not at all formal or stuffy. They had all of their friends and family with them in a big gathering to celebrate. First with a touching ceremony at Sturt’s Cottage in Grange, where many a tear was shed and laughter rang out. Then after some beach portraits, it was on to the Palais in Semaphore, where heartfelt speeches, ample (& delicious food), plus plentiful drinks abounded. Finishing up with some sunset portraits, and a deliciously yolky and hazy sun that magically dipped down to the sea.

Heath and Steph had a super relaxed and casual wedding, taking advantage of the naturally beautiful surrounds (and even incorporating them into their florals and decor!) From native and natural flora in the centre pieces, to Heath’s late grandad’s orchids (which he has done an AMAZING job looking after) used at the boutonnieres.
