Zac & Rach's Relaxed Wedding at Utopia @ Waterfall Gully
We were all SO excited when dance floors opened back up for weddings in SA, especially Zac and Rach who couldn’t wait to let loose and dance their wedding night away with friends and family! The entire day was relaxed, everyone so happy for Zach and Rach marrying each other, their best friend. Nothing stuffy or overly fancy, just a really good time with good people, and the stuff that matters the most. Love, family and friends. (And pizza and dancing. Haha!)
Sam & Ollie's Natural Multicultural Elopement
Sam and Ollie had an absolutely stunning elopement in every way! A beautiful blend of traditions, a jaw-dropping red bridal gown and a timeless white wedding gown. Gorgeous ocean views, strolls down dirt crossroads beaneath rolling hills and beside sprawling vineyards. And that cracker sunset to finish it all on the beach. Not to mention the absolutely delicious cake on the clifftops. A perfect, relaxed, intimate and secluded way to tie the knot.
Emma & Callan's Rustic Renmark Wedding
Emma & Callan had a relaxed celebration with their closest friends and family, great food and wine and Dancing! Two spectacular locations for portraits made me one very happy photographer (how amazing is that B&B by the river!?) And best of all, Emma and Callan got to exchange their vows and become husband and wife.
Tams & Hazz's Fleurieu Cherries Wedding in McLaren Vale
I LOVE how Tams & Hazz described their wedding; tight-knit, relaxed, romantic and a little bit silly. It was all those things and more! A warm and relaxed celebration at Fleurieu Cherries with their delicious homemade cherry ice-cream, their dog Monkey a cheeky centre of attention and time to chat with friends and family over drinks and canapes. Followed by an escape to the sea where a random dance party welcomed Tams and Hazz in with open arms and sparklers. What a way to end the day!
Renee & Vicki's Beautiful Gay McLaren Vale Elopement
I loved everything about Renee and Vicki’s beautiful wedding day. Not just the gorgeous bright, gay (happy!!) colours. Or the fun and smiles. But man… the love that glowed when these two just looked at each other. One of those beautiful, peaceful, and radiantly happy loves that warms up a room. At a super cute little shearing shed AirBnB in McLaren Vale (a place I have loved for a very long time), with sheep, alpacka and BABY ALPACKA grazing just outside. A lovingly put together platter to share, bubbles, cake, a little bit of dancing, and just generally all the very best things.
Laura & Ryan's Gull Rock Elopement
Kate and I LOVE how Laura and Ryan described their elopement to us; “extremely intimate and low key with a dash of fun!” A super special and relaxed afternoon shared with their parents, grandma and sister (with Ryan’s brother sadly having to watch from afar in Melbourne). We were all stunned but entirely delighted when instead of the 90%+ promise of raing predicted we had beautiful sunshine! Having Laura and Ryan married just in front of the Port Willunga caves (just in case the rain decided to surprise us out of nowhere and we needed to duck for cover!) We took advantage of the gorgeous clifftops and nearby vineyards nestle under rolling hills and wind swept gum trees as well.
Caitlin & Karl's Natural Maternity Portraits at Gull Rock
We were all slightly worried about the rain this day, but just as we hoped, the rain eased and the sun started shining beautifully through the clouds. Despite being slightly windy, it was a gorgeous afternoon! Full of cuddles and beautiful dreams of what the next few weeks, months and years would bring. All the lovely dreams and wishes for the little one soon to join them. A beautiful little pause just to enjoy the moment, and the anticipation of moments to come. Congratulations guys!! :)
Kris & Lily's Michael Perry Botanic Reserve Engagement Portraits
Kris and Lily had a gorgeous engagemen portrait session at the Michael Perry Botanic Reserve, and at home with their amazing cats. Each with their own unique personality and level of curiosity. I absolutely loved Lily’s little cat ears, pretty dress and pokemon earrings. Which perfectly suited the precious surprise engagement ring Kris pulled from his pocket beneath the large palm tree. You were both a joy to hang out with and photograph! Thanks so much Kris & Lily! :)
Simonne & Jimmy's Veale Garden's Elopement
Simmone & Jimmy were originally planning to elope in Italy, but Covid, as it has done for so many others, encouraged a change in plans. Instead they had a very low key and relaxed Spring elopement to celebrate their love and make it all official at the Adelaide Veale Gardens. We all could not believe the good luck we had with the weather. With a forecast just about guaranteeing heavy rain we surprised to have bright blue skies and barely a cloud in sight. It was such a lovley celebration.
Jess & Anthony's Spring Wedding in the Rain
Spring is a fickle mistress. She promises warmth, new life, the smell of flowers and the welcoming of Summer. But she is also tempermental, opening the heavens for heavy falls and swinging from warm to cold at a moments notice. This year in particular Spring has felt very… well, Spring like. Jess and Anthony’s wedding day had promises of sunshine either side, but the day itself was full of heavy raindrops. Having us push the start time back by one hour so we could all stay dry inside Molldooker’s beautiful walls. There is nothing to fear on a rainy day though. The sound and the smell of it is gorgoeus, and with a little bravery against wet feet we can create some stunning photos, so it almost looks like you’re dancing in the stars. The biggest of congratulations to you Jess & Anthony. Your wedding was beautiful, and we were thrilled to share these special moments with you. xo
