Candice & Andrew's Epic Engagement Session

I love it when engagement portrait sessions turn into photography adventures! That’s exactly what happened on Sunday when Candice, Andrew & I ventured to one of my favourite places in the world! Second Valley. Candice & Andrew were willing to brave steep slippery slopes, wet toes, thousands of tiny pebbles and hundreds of giant boulders. Nature is just so amazing, and we took full advantage of it’s stunning sky, natural frames and crazy beauty.

 

My connection with Candice & Andrew proves that Adelaide really is a small and connected place, and by pure coincidence we’re only separated by friends of friends or family. Which isn’t surprising, cause these guys aren’t just awesome people, they’re super nice and just brilliant to be around too! I can’t wait to capture your wedding memories soon guys! xx

Beth & Roger's Beautiful Al Ru Farm Wedding

Friday was an amazing day, it started soft and overcast at St Marks College in North Adelaide for pre-wedding portraits with Beth, Roger and their bridal party. Beth and Roger met at the college, and so it was the perfect place to take some gorgeous pictures! Just as we finished capturing the portraits the overcast day turned into a mammoth storm! The rain poured down so heavily with loud cracks of thunder and bright lightening.

Mel & Scott's Beautiful Botanic Gardens & North Adelaide Wedding

Twenty fifteen, what a year that was! I completely loved each and every wedding that I photographed, and what better way to finish a year full of gorgeous weddings than with my 55th wedding for the year on New Years Eve! Mel and Scott’s wedding was so perfect, a casual garden wedding with little details that all came together to create something simply perfect and timeless. Mel’s custom made dress had everyone absolutely speechless (it was just too good!), paired with some sparkly silver shoes; she looked like a vision. Scott scrubbed up very well too! I love the trend of navy suits, to me they’re just a timeless choice.

Isobelle & Andrew's Relaxed Willunga Wedding

Sunday was a day full of beautiful things, a soft rainy morning, a bright and sunny afternoon, fun loving and genuine people and such a relaxed vibe. Isobelle and Andrew married in the beautiful surrounds of Middlebrooke Estate in the McLaren Vale. There had been the soft patter of rain and gentle rumble of thunder all morning. But the sun came out with a bright blue sky just in time for their ceremony, on a lush green lawn lined with lush vines.
