Sarah & Nick's McLaren Vale, Adelaide Wedding
Sarah & Nick had a gorgeous Adelaide wedding, starting by the beach, marrying at a classic church near the CBD and celebrating at a reception in the beautiful McLaren Vale at Penny’s Hill. A beautiful journey from sea to vines, with plenty of love along the way (and quite a cool mode of transport, the vintage black taxi cabs). Thank you so much for having me along guys, your wedding was stunning!
Ness & Craig's Ekhidna Wines Wedding in McLaren Vale
Ness and Craig had a romantically rustic wedding with an Australiana feel, so what better location to choose for their wedding than Ekhidna Wines in McLaren Vale? An area of South Australia that I find myself constantly coming back to for it’s gorgeous sprawling landscapes and warm atmosphere. Their ceremony was a huge part of their day, surrounded by all of their friends and family (along with mountains of confetti of course!) The beautiful vibes from that special moment flowing into an evening of celebrations and dancing.
Lucy & Tom's Barn1890 Wedding
Lucy and Tom had a wedding as natural, bright and fresh as the two of them at the gorgeous Barn1890. A lovely and relaxed day full of stand up canapés, neutral colour tones and smiles all around. The band was super cool, providing a fun ambiance, and the intimate ceremony encouraged warm hearts and happy tears to flow. All in all, it was a perfect day!
Arden & Jess' Chilled Wedding at Barn1890
Arden and Jess had a very chilled wedding at the relaxed and rustic wedding venue of Barn1890 (which yes, I most definitely loved working at 2 weekends in a row. xx) From start to finish, the day was casual, relaxed and a lot of fun! There were no seating plans, no rigid schedules, people could sit where they wanted, do what they wanted. We went in with the plan that there may be a dance, or there might not be. Maybe a speech, and maybe not. So even when the beautiful words of a speech and the fun and loving moments of the first dance did in fact happen, it was just because the moment was right for it. The day was just relaxed, fun and authentic in every meaningful way it should have been. <3
Selena & Michael's Wedding at Red Poles, McLaren Vale
Selena and Michael had a relaxed and intimate wedding with a rustic and vintage feel at one of my favourite wedding venues in SA. Red poles is a carefree and artistic venue in the heart of the McLaren Vale with so many beautiful portrait options surrounding. From beautiful vineyards to the picturesque barn and warm bushland. The perfect setting for Selena and Michael’s wedding.
Pip & Chris' Wedding in Adelaide City during the Fringe
Pip & Chris had a very cool wedding in the heart of the Adelaide CBD during a very celebratory and gorgeous time, the Fringe Festival. With their ceremony and reception at the Adelaide Museum, and a little journey to explore a buzzing city and the Garden of Unearthly delights for some unique portraits. The whole day was very relaxed. A massive party with lots of food, drink and a raging dance floor. Pops of bright colour, plenty of smiles, and most importantly, a gorgeous wedding ceremony allowing two best friends to marry each other.
Jess & Jaiden's Colourful and Quirky Adelaide Wedding
Jess and Jaiden's wedding couldn't be described as anything other than completely and tastefully whimsical. A beautiful blend of colours, flower crowns and movies that complimented the creative energy of an Adelaide celebrating the Fringe festival and magical theatre. I loved every unique thing about this wedding, and every personal touch which made the whole day feel as warm, welcoming and fun as Jess & Jaiden’s kind and open hearted personalities. There’s so much more I could say about this day, but I’ll let the photos do the talking for me. :)
Alli & Will's Intimate Beach Huts Wedding in Middleton
Alli and Will had a beautifully intimate wedding at the unique and quaintly quirky (in a very pretty way) Beach Huts of Middleton. The entire day was relaxed and small but full of large smiles and so much laughter, fun and artistic moments. We enjoyed taking creative and natural portraits in the beautiful setting, complete with an impressive somersault over a quaint little fence.
Claudia & Nug's Broken Hill Wedding
Claudia and Nug had a gorgeous wedding in Broken Hill at the Golf and Country Club. Simply styled in a natural bohemian way, it looked perfect! A laid back and simple wedding, in the beautiful country side, shared with lots of friends and family. Despite the lingering heatwave, the night was full of candid laughter, dancing and so much fun!
Carlos & Bronnie's North Haven Beach Wedding
Carlos and Bronnie defied all odds and met each other from across the seas, forming a perfectly loving couple. It seemed fitting then, to have their beautifully intimate wedding beside the sea, surrounded by loving family and friends. With very cute touches from the cacti to the sea shells, delicious food, a fun-loving mariachi band, colourful Mexican fans, and of course, zooper doopers for dessert! The celebrations finished (after many a conga line) with barefoot portraits across the sand as the sun set brilliantly.
