The MacDonald's Natural Family Portraits Belair National Park
I captured wedding photos for Britt and Cam several years ago, since then they’ve welcomed 2 (super cute!) little boys to their family. While’s Britt’s folks were visiting from the US, we thought it would be a wonderful time to capture some family portraits and memories for them! Belair National park is a beautiful and natural location, and when we visited it was full to bursting with wild spring flowers. With the boys being boys we captured a nice mix of formal and relaxed family portraits. It was such a fun and beautiful session! Thanks for having me to capture these memories for you again guys. :) x
Anita & Alistair's Fun Red Poles Wedding
Anita and Alistair had a spectacularly fun wedding at the lovely Red Poles Winery in McLaren Vale, with lovely little touches and odes to their Latvian heritage. It was a very natural and relaxed day, with a casual and fun vibe. When I asked Anita & Alistair what they were most looking forward to on their wedding day they said they were “obviously excited for the official ceremony where it all become real, as well as the whole afternoon and night in general. We are just stoked to be sharing our love with our friends and family… and you!” What better words could you use to describe the excitement that comes with marrying the love of your life? I was so thrilled to be part of those happy day.
Em & Martin's Natural Port Lincoln Wedding
Em & Martin’s natural wedding was a relaxed and peaceful day full of all the good vibes. Their little ceremony setup on a secret dirt road surrounded by trees either side was a little bit magical. As was the amazing sunset that glowed over the hills. And I love how their celebrant Nguahuia described the rain both before and on the morning of the day as just washing the earth clean for their ceremony.
Jen & Tim's Relaxed Wedding at Sinclair's Gully
I would be lying if I didn’t say that this wedding had a part in inspiring the plans for my own wedding. It wasn’t just the sustainable venue surrounded by native scrub and wildlife owned and run by the most lovely and ethical couple. It wasn’t just the warmth of family and friends enjoying the pleasure of each others company with delicious wine. Or the relaxed nature in how the ceremony started after being jointly greeted by the happy couple. It was the entirely and absolutely relaxed vibe about the day.

Ben & Kelly's Adelaide Winter Wedding at Ayers House
Who doesn't love a gorgeous Winter wedding? Especially when that beautiful, low Winter sun is gleaming in-between short showers, and we get to hang out in Stranger Things -esque after dark lighting. Ben & Kelly had a gorgeous Winter Wedding at the classic Ayers House, and it was such a pleasure to be a part of. As always, Ayers House was classically decorated in contemporary ways, loads of gorgeous green plants, a red carpet and that gorgeous glass ceiling. Transformed perfectly into a party space after all the formalities were done. Ben and I used to work together, so it was extra special for me to see him tie the knot with his long term partner.
Adelaide Natural Home and Park Newborn Family Portraits
Alicia and Dylon recently welcomed their perfect newborn bub Evan into the world. I love to meet little ones in their first few days, so sleepy and also so full of wonder at the world. Seeing it ways we’ve forgotten how as we grew up. Capturing little newborns in the most natural way possible is super important for me, and so we captured lots of cuddles both in Alicia & Dylon’s home and a park nearby where they often walk their two furry companions.
Tara & Jamie's Fun & Gorgeous Star Wars Themed Wedding
Tara & Jamie had a beautiful little wedding and a lot of fun with a Star Wars theme elegantly integrated into their day. We started with an engagement session before the wedding day, so on the day itself they could just focus on the moments, memories, family, friends and fun. With delicious canapés plentiful, inflatable Star Wars characters, their lovely MC Tiffany dressed as Princess Leia, and endless smiles.
