The Summer skies so far have been breathtakingly beautiful as stormy overcast days meet the warmth of a building summer. Nikki and Mike’s wedding day was blessed with one of these beautiful skies, the rain managing to hold back and ensure a perfect day. A day that was fun, casual, beachy and relaxed. Mixed with classy and timeless styling, trendy portrait locations around Port Adelaide and lovely people. From getting ready, to walking down the aisle, saying their vows, taking portraits and partying the night away. The entire day was both elegant and fun.

Steph and Tys had a small, intimate and relaxed wedding at the stunning Barrister’s Block Winery in the Adelaide hills. With gorgeously classic styling (including a very cool round arbour), gentle showers of rain, deer frolicking through the forest, and a warm reception in every sense of the word. It was a stunning day.

Dani and Simon are two completely genuine people who are so much fun to be around. Their wedding reflected them well, being super fun and relaxing without loosing any of it’s beautiful formalities. From amazing speeches (replicating old dance moves), a lovely Church ceremony, classy horse and cart (and a convertible car of course), amazing vocal performance from tenor Tasso Bouyessis and soprano Annamaria Beni, sax and bongos accompanying the DJs dance floor tunes, and the gorgeous views and setting of Mount Osmond Gold Club. What more could you want?

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.
