Zoe & Tristen's Barossa Wedding at a Family Home
When Zoe and Tristen described to me their intimate wedding with only those closest to them at their grandmas house in the Barossa. With a goal to keep things simple but elegant with a little country charm, I instantly knew their day would be a dream to photograph! Nestled in the rustic setting of the beautiful family home, Zoe and Tristen were married by the fabulous Kate from Blissful Wedding Ceremonies (and my partner at Our Wild Love Elopements).
Lou and John's Angaston Marquee Wedding
This was a magical wedding day set amidst the gorgeous scenery of Angaston in the Barossa Valley. Lou and John planned their day to be elegant and classic, which they pulled off with impeccable style. I have to say that their marquee set up was one of my favourites, with gorgeous fairy lights, chandeliers, a live band and amazing floral arrangements.
Jess & Brad's Chateau Tanunda Wedding
What an absolutely beautiful wedding this was in every single way. Jess and Brad's wedding was rustic but modern, with delicate mints, greys and an abundance of white casting a gorgeously elegant colour pallet for the day. Both Brad and Jess got ready for their big day at the Novotel, so close but completely out of sight from each other. With many of their family and friends also staying at the Novotel, it had a great vibe about it! Full of fun and excitement.
Sha & Tony's Adelaide Botanic Garden & State Library Wedding
They say that time flies by when you’re having fun, and so on Tony and Sha’s wedding day I must have been having a ball! Because in what felt like only one short blink the afternoon was over, and the party was beginning. Sha and Tony’s wedding was elegant, chic and classic with a big focus on family and close friends. And a particularly special focus on Sha and Tony’s sons, with Sha’s son giving her away and Tony’s son keeping special hold of the rings.
Amber & Dan's Fun Brighton Beach Engagement Session
Amber & Dan's engagement portraits session at the beach on Tuesday at sunset was so much fun! The session started with hugs, was full of smiles and ended with very wet pants for Dan. The water was finally not freezing! And with waves lapping the sand and splashing Amber and especially Dan, it was a fun and laughter filled session.
Milly and Jimmy's Adelaide Oval and Carrick Hill Wedding
What a day this was! I'm not sure I've ever seen a bride smile so much as Milly did all day long. Despite flus, dead car batteries and adventures down slippery hills into hidden groves, this day was perfect. Milly and her bridesmaids got ready at Milly's mum's house with no shortage of bubbles, giggles and beautiful dresses. Then through warm sunshine we drove to Carrick Hill, which was so green, beautiful and an idyllic backdrop for their ceremony. Through happy tears and beautiful words they married in front of delighted family and friends all eager to celebrate and congratulate the happy couple.
Megan & Jonathan's Long Lunch Wedding at the Currant Shed, McLaren Vale
This would be one of my dream weddings. A long 5 course lunch starting with canapés and finishing with extra cake. (I am a massive foodie though, what can I say?) Megan and Jonathan were two of the most relaxed and excited people I've seen before a wedding ceremony. With tears of joy they married during the most heartfelt and lovely ceremony by Camille. Following their ceremony, group and family photos it was straight into the relaxed festivities! With lawn games, delicious canapés, two entrees, two mains, dessert and cake. Gorgeous floral arrangements on the one long table in the perfect weather outside. A buzz of laughter and conversation, beautiful wines and loving speeches.
Stacey & Ben's Carrick Hill Adelaide Wedding
Spring felt like it was out in full force last Saturday, with wild flowers blooming and blossoms covering the trees. As the day approached we were a little worried about the forecast for strong winds and rain, but on the day itself all worries melted away. There was not one drop of rain on our heads and we were blessed with beautiful warm sunshine all day long. It was a perfect day! How lucky is that!? Ben was right that morning when he SMS'd Stacey with the beautiful wedding day message "a perfect day for my perfect bride".
Minnie's Family Portraits at Wittunga Botanic Garden
I love to capture family portraits for Minnie and her family, and see little JJ grow! For this session I met Minnie and her family at the Wittunga Botanic Gardens, a little gem hidden in Blackwood. From bubbles to balloons, ducks, bike rides, games of soccer, cricket and more. It was an afternoon full of fun and laughter! Thanks for having me to capture these memories for you again Minnie! xx
Keziah & John's Country SA Wedding
I believe that South Australia is such a beautiful place. Gorgeous rugged coastlines, amazing wineries and absolutely stunning outback scenery in Country Flinders Ranges. When Keziah and John asked me to photograph their Blinman wedding at the Family's station north of Wilpena Pound I was beyond excited! I love the dusty red earth, rolling Flingers Ranges, dry creek beds, Emus, Roos and beauty of this place.
