Abby & Antoine's Stunning Bohemian Wedding at the Chaff Shed
Abby & Antoine's wedding on Saturday was nothing short of perfect. From the moment I arrived there was a buzz of excitement and pure happiness (with a little touch of nervous anticipation). Oliver's Chaff Shed is such a beautiful, rustic location, and all of Abby & Antoine's little touches brought out the very best of it. From the outdoor lounge room, to the perfect floral arrangements, the friendly staff and delicious assortment of food and not to forget... Abby's stunning custom made dress from Red Pearl Courture!
Christie & James' Awesome Adelaide Engagement Session
On Sunday afternoon I got to hang out with the coolest couple at their amazing secret hideaway in the Barossa Valley. A gorgeous little B&B complete with vineyards, private pond, paddle boats and a team of friendly ducks ready to investigate any new human who may be bearing gifts of biscuits or bread. Christie & James are the sweetest, we walked around the grounds with beer, wine and a cheese picnic in tow, took the boat out for a spin, fed the ducks (over and over again, they are stomachs on legs), and had a little sing along. All while the beautiful, bright sun made its way down to the horizon.
Tara & Mark's Fun Engagement Session at the Botanic Gardens
On sunny Saturday Tara, Mark & I caught up at the always beautiful Botanic Gardens to capture some engagement portraits. Tara and Mark are both so much fun to be around. Coupled with the stunning settings of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens and some intense light it made for a great shoot.
Carmel & Troy's Beautiful Beach Engagement Session
Wednesday evening I visited a beach I'd never visited before Carmel & Troy requested we have their shoot there (I know! Hard to believe). It was however, Carmel's favourite beach and a place she visits all the time. I'm not surprised! We're so lucky in South Australia to have some stunning swimming beaches, and Grange Beach near the Tennyson Dunes is no different. Troy & Carmel are just the most gorgeous couple, inside and out! Both successful and creative entrepreneurs, and so perfectly suited to one another.

To help you make the most out of your day, I’ve put together these scheduling tips that I’ve collected after shooting more than 100 weddings. I hope this helps you when planning your special day!
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
Krystel & Liam's Beach Wedding
Capturing Krystel & Liam's beach wedding was just like capturing the wedding of close friends. I have so much love for these guys and their fun filled approach to life! When you watch them watching each other, all you can see is love. They suit each other perfectly in every single way.
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.
Chris & Michelle's Bohemian Beach Wedding
Every now and then you come across a couple that you can’t describe any other way than passionately in love. From our first meeting I could see just how much Chris & Michelle adored each other in every single way. Their wedding day was a perfect example of this beautiful, passionate love.
