Ness & Jamie's Beautiful Adelaide Wedding
On Saturday with the most gorgeously warm weather and the most gorgeously warm family, Ness & Jamie tied the knot at the stunning St John the Baptist Church and Adelaide Botanic Gardens. With so many beautiful little details coming together perfectly and many tears of joy their day was one of those weddings that just felt so amazing to be a part of. I love every opportunity to take photos at the Botanic Gardens. There is always a new secret little place to find and I often get lost in all the amazing portrait options.
Chandice & Toby's Creative DIY Backyard Wedding
It feels like summer already! Isn't it wonderful? Saturday I was blessed to spend my warm afternoon creating memories for the creative & wonderful Chandice & Toby. They had worked so hard to create the most stunning DIY backyard wedding. With the year spent collecting mismatched (but not too mismatched!) vintage plates, silver spoons, lounges, porcelain dachshunds and all manner of gorgeous vintage goodies they so impressively decked out a marquee to create the most stunning setting.
Taking on the Camera and Winning
I'm going to take the opportunity in this blog post to get a little bit personal. Just like many of my clients I often find it very difficult to be in front of the camera getting my photo taken. So many of us are soooo self conscious, we fret about our little faults that often only we can see. And when we fret, it shows through in our photos. With a vicious cycle this makes us more self conscious, which makes us look weirder and weirder until finally you become a photographer so you'll never need to be in front of the camera again! Haha! I joke.
Erin & Jamie's Gorgeous Wedding at Al Ru Farm
Saturday was such a beautiful and perfect day, made even more special by the fact that my beautiful friends Erin & Jamie were tying the knot. After a full year of planning, DIY-ing and piecing every little bit of their wedding together the day was finally here. With perfect weather and the most stunning setting of the gardens at Al Ru Farm - swoon!

Tom & Mei's Light Filled Engagement Session at the Beach
You know Spring is in the air when the trees start to grow their green coats, the flowers begin to blossom and the sun decides he's going to stick around a little longer and start warming things up. We've been so lucky to have so many beautiful and warm springs days, especially gracing the weekend! Sunday was another one of those sunny, light filled days.
Kel & Mark's Perfect Beach Wedding
The weather on Saturday was just so stunning. Gorgeously warm with not one peep from the wind. When I arrived at the Surf Life Saving Club in Henley all of Kel & Mark's family & friends were taking it easy with a drink in hand. From there the day just flowed so perfectly with a relaxed and cheerful vibe. Following the short & sweet ceremony we went for a little walk down an awesome secret graffiti lane and then back along the beach just as the sun started to dip it's way down to the ocean. The light was so stunning and just glowed! Followed by a picture perfect sunset as family & friends celebrated the night away.
Isaac's Natural Newborn Garden Photos
In February this year I had the joy of capturing the wedding of Michael & Sarah. Then on Sunday I was so happy to continue their journey with them as I captured beautiful memories of the new addition to their little family, Isaac. He's such a cute little guy! And you can tell just how much he is loved by his wonderful parents. You guys make such an awesome little family, biggest congrats again! xx
Beth & Fabian's Warm & Wonderful Adelaide Wedding
Saturday was warm in more ways than one. The weather was absolutely stunning, but the love between family, friends and the beautiful couple Beth & Fabian was so much warmer. I spent the early part of the day right through to late evening dancing with them, and could not have felt more like part of their big & beautiful family. Beth is a beautiful star and so much fun! And Fabian has the sweetest soul, even putting on the BEST and funniest surprise groom & groomsmen/friend dance I've ever seen! (Can't wait to share some from the reception!)
Lori Becomes a Big Sister!
Nearly 4 weeks to the day ago, my sister completed her little family of 4 with the most handsome little baby boy George. I met him in chilly Canberra on his 1 month birthday, and got to spend 2 precious days full of new baby cuddles and chasing around my energetic little niece Lori. Who has taken incredibly well to her big sister duties! It's been amazing to see how much she has grown and how brave she's gotten! Off exploring the big wide world, feeding over excited ducks and climbing the big kids playground. I'm so honoured to be able to share this tiny peek into their gorgeous life. xx
