I met Sam when she was a bridesmaid at her close friends Eryn & Callum's wedding. She was full of life, energy and cheeky fun then as she celebrated with them - and that was no different when we caught up on Sunday for a portrait session with her partner Dylan on her 30th birthday! (Happy birthday again Sam). :)

On Saturday I had the pleasure of photographing Laura & Jesse's beautiful wedding at Wood House and Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens. Right from the moment I arrived until the moment I left, there was this amazing buzz in the air. Everyone was legitimately, and infectiously excited for what was the perfect wedding day for Laura & Jesse.

As photographers we all find our grooves, we know what we like and what is more difficult for us to work with. As we develop our style and niche certain types of light, places and people will fit perfectly within the mould that we have carefully crafted. Our moulds and grooves are made as any well worn path would be, with consistent practice, and time, they form comforting and familiar spaces. New challenges, new lighting, pushing ourselves to continue to grow and try new things will all enable us to gradually embrace a wider variety of things that fit within our style. Pushing it to become something better.

On Saturday, on a perfect day with blue skies and a warm breeze, Laura and James married with a simply perfect and classic wedding day. I met James & Laura at the gorgeous Adina Apartments in the city, a very classic hotel with an old world charm. Exploring the basement with the guys added an awesome feel to the groom preparation photos. Whilst Laura and her bridesmaids were treated to a wall of gorgeous windows and natural light. The vintage cars that transported them to Glen Ewin Estate with the icing on the cake of such a stellar location.

We're so lucky to have such amazing light and scenery in South Australia, within a one hour radius of the CBD you have gorgeous bushland, rugged coastline, pristine beaches, sandy cliffs, rustic vineyards, sunburnt fields, forests, lush gardens, grungy old architecture and colourful new architecture, rolling hills and so much more. On Friday, during a beautifully glowing sunset, I got to hang out with two lovely, loved-up people and their energetic dog Charlie at one of my favourite places in SA; Port Willunga.

When you’re told the theme “Irish tea party elopes with the Australian Outback”, then you know you’re in for something special! Annalisa & Mick’s wedding wasn’t just perfectly styled with gorgeous vintage & rustics touches, it was also perfectly relaxed with warm and kind people all celebrating a beautiful wedding, followed with some delicious Aussie BBQ! 

Sara & Pete’s wedding is one I’ve been looking forward to. With Sara a photographer and Peter a musician, they were both keen on having a very relaxed and unique wedding with creative photography.

After capturing Stacey & Bradly’s wedding recently, I was very excited to catch up with them and their two horses at their beautiful Two Wells property. It’s easy to see how horses get a representation for being such magnificent and beautiful animals. Blaze and Izzie both fit this magnificent and beautiful description, but on top of that, they had the biggest personalities too!

With their wedding starting on daylight savings, Katie & Chris’ wedding day was already a little bit special being just 23 hours long. I started to get to know them better during their engagement session just one week before, but by the end of their wedding it was more than evident just how fun, sweet and lovely the two them are!

What a beautiful break Saturday was in a long line of wet and dreary days. The sun was out and shining brightly through soft clouds and blue skies all day long.
