When I say we got drenched on Sunday's stormy engagement session, I mean we got drenched! Madeline & Marc were down visiting from Sydney to finalise some of their wedding plans, so when the stormy weather began we decided to brave the rain anyway. With a thick rain cloud covering the sky, the light became moody and we ventured around a Botanic Gardens with quite a different feel.

Sunday was a very wet and stormy day, but that didn't stop Chris, Michelle, Tanisha, Ronin and I from venturing out to the beautiful Waterfall Gully for some fun family portraits. I captured the wedding photos for Chris & Michelle earlier this year, and it was great to catch up with them and their family again!

The Clare Valley is such a beautiful and rustic location, the perfect place for Grant & Louise's special wedding day. I met Louise at her parents house, and there was a buzz of calm excitement. Her mum had done a wonderful job on not just the bouquets and button holes, but every single flower arrangement for the entire day! And Louise just looked so stunning in her gorgeous wedding gown.

I love weddings and couples in love, which is why I specialise in wedding and couples portrait photography. That said, there’s something so special about family photos that makes them a true blessing to capture. Especially natural family photos, with the goal of capturing real and organic memories. On warm Friday afternoon, just before the storms from the weekend decided to roll in, I met Stuart, Rene and their beautiful daughter Estelle at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens. Estelle is such a cutie, full of joy and energy! It’s completely obvious just how much love there is between every member of this beautiful little family. We walked around the garden with some of her toys, played with bubbles and ran around trees. It was a beautiful afternoon! xx

It's very easy for time to get away from you in this job, but every now and then you can't help but make the time to go on a photography adventure just for the sake of making something beautiful.

I had an amazing weekend, spending time with 4 loved up couples from Encounter Bay to Lyndoch. It reminds me just how wonderful my job is after a weekend like this! My last stop for the weekend was a gorgeously rustic engagement session with Steph and Jordan in Lyndoch. We started at Sandy Creek conservation park, a beautiful reserve that we shared with kangaroos.

On Sunny Sunday I captured some gorgeously bright engagement portraits for Shey and Glen at Port Willinga Beach. Ask me any day and I’ll always tell you that my favourite South Australian Beaches are the Southern beaches. Port Willinga is no exception.

I had the absolute privilege to spend the entire day on Saturday with two of the most lovely souls you could ever meet. From early morning until the last goodbye, it was just like hanging out with two good friends on one of the best days of their life!

Tara and Mark’s wedding on Saturday was SO gorgeous! Not only are Tara and Mark the most lovely, down to earth and friendly people, but they also put together the best party in such a gorgeous location. Partridge House is a beautiful gem hidden away close to the beach in Glenelg’s side streets. The classic house and green grassy lawns provide a charming backdrop, and a big old tree was just the perfect spot for the ceremony.

Portrait sessions are so much fun! They let you really relax, be yourself, go on an adventure and create gorgeous memories for your home, family and friends. One question I get asked a lot though, is "what should I wear to my portrait session?" There are a lot of different posts out there with suggestions, but I wanted to really keep it simple and give you a few tips that will help you to feel comfortable and provide some beautiful photos.
