Mahayla & Tim's Bohemian River Land Wedding

Mahayla and Tim’s wedding in the river land was an absolute dream. Not just the rural location right by the river Murray with beautiful old stone buildings around us. Not just the bohemian decorations giving the space a relaxed but beautiful vibe. But also how relaxed and fun the day was, and not just because there were kids playing underfoot. Mahayla and Tim managed to pull off an atmosphere where everyone could just relax and be themselves, sharing and celebrating the special and intimate moments of the day. A lovely day for the family to come together.

Sam & Buddy's Ekhidna Wines Wedding

Sam & Buddy’s wedding was classic and authentic. Just watch how these guys looked at each other and you could feel the love. The day was full to bursting with beautiful things. All the special little touches they put together, the gifts and kind words. A ceremony full of love and photo adventures out to some of my favourite places in McLaren Vale, including Gull Rock. Then a night full of dancing and celebrating with loved ones. As always, I’m going to let the photos do the talking. xo

Rachel & Arlen's Chateau Apollo Adelaide Wedding

Rachel and Arlen’s wedding was a big party and celebration! From the puff & pop balloons to the donut wall and dancing. But also beautifully formal with gorgeous blacks, whites and golds and stunning outfits. All central to Adelaide with their heartfelt ceremony at Pennington Gardens, and portraits from the limo along the way to their reception at Chateau Apollo. It was fun, beautiful and perfect!

Kyla & Jane's Kuitpo Forest Wedding

Kyla & Jane had a relaxed, natural and romantic wedding surrounded by big, beautiful trees in Kuitpo Forest. Their day was full of gorgeous moments, from the ceremony, exchanging rings, first kiss, and becoming each other’s wives. To celebrating with loved ones in natural confetti and by dancing the night away. I adored the cute Kombi Van they hired as their wedding car, which took us along dirt paths to beautiful and natural places. And had a wonderful evening celebrating their love with their loved ones! Who looked great in their new rainbow socks.

Kelsey & Sam's K1 Winery Wedding

Kelsey and Sam’s wedding day was all about having FUN! And they planned (as much as possible) to be able to relax and enjoy the day, sharing as much of the fun as the possible. Having a first look to take their bridal party portraits before the ceremony so they could join in on the delicious canapes ensured that their day was all about sharing time with loves ones and the food of course! Our portrait sessions were also relaxed and fun, and an absolute breeze with the talented Mat from Hair by Mat Johnson ensuring not a hair was out of place or shoe left unpolished as we ventured down dirt paths to vines and trees. Thanks for having me guys! Was such a pleasure to capture your day and all the dancing that followed. 💃

Kels & Rickys Colourful Currency Creek Wedding

Kels and Ricky had a unique, colourful, loud, fun and creative wedding in the beautiful country setting of Currency Creek on a private property for hire. Such a stunning location with beautiful fields and lovely old buildings. Decorated thoughtfully with customised and artistic touches. I absolutely loved the bridesmaids floral wreaths instead of bouquets., so cute and creative! When the day gave way to evening, and everyone’s bellies were full from the two food trucks, the party ramped up with dancing and live music right into the night. It was fantastic.

Sarah & Brooke's Wedding at the Watershed Function Centre, Adelaide

Sarah and Brooke started their wedding day right. With a huge hug and a shot, before taking each other arm in arm to walk down the aisle and get hitched and say I DO! Their entire day was relaxed and fun, with a wonderfully care-free and laid back attitude. Celebrating the good things that matter, and getting a boogy on the dance floor. Thanks so much for having me guys! Your day was an absolute blast!

Beth & Brett's Intimate Aussie Wedding in the Barossa

As can happen in an Australian summer, Beth & Brett’s original wedding date was forecast for well into the 40s. So hot that the flies were out in force like clouds. And so, as you are able to with an intimate wedding, they decided to postpone their day by just one day and enjoy much more temperate weather. Marrying at the Barossa Bush Chapel with kookaburras watching on, followed up with delicious icecream. Their day was beautifully relaxed and intimate. After some moments celebrating with family and friends, we drove on to Whistler Wines to hang out with kangaroos, drink some wine (of course), and play a game of cricket. What better way to end your wedding day?

Carly & Barnesy's Relaxed Wedding at Barn1890

Oh goodness. What a day! And what a wonderful job Carly & Barnesy did pulling this wedding together, not once but twice! All within 24 hours! Their wedding was scheduled to take place the weekend of Adelaide’s short lived lockdown. As soon as we found that the lockdown would be cut short, Carly was onto it! Getting their entire wedding day moved from Saturday to Sunday. Which made the dancing, seeing each other at the alter, and celebrating with family and friends all the more special. And it was perfectly beautiful, relaxed, fun and full of love and joy.
