Archana & Ben's Funky Adelaide Registry Office Wedding

There’s something romantic about running away to the registry office. No fuss or fancy - just love! After capturing Archana and Ben’s registry office wedding we went for a short stroll through the city, taking advantage of both the street art and the tiny pockets of nature. Just a small group of family and friends enjoying the afternoon together as more distant family watched on through the magic of video calls.

Beth & Tom's Rustic Adelaide Elopement

Beth & Tom’s rustic elopement at Brin Farm in Kangarilla was short, sweet and intimate. And also full of fun and laughter! They approached their marriage in the most beautiful way; relaxed, smiling and happy. Laughing when the beautiful floating arbour joined in with fabric hugs in the wind. A perfect little afternoon in such a stunning location, dressing up, memories, photos, and at the end of their heartfelt ceremony being married!

Shih and Joanne's Wedding Portraits

Though sad I wasn’t available to capture Shih & Joanne’s little wedding, I was thrilled that we could catch up the day afterwards to capture some beautiful wedding portraits around Adelaide! We started in the Adelaide Hills on the hunt for the last of the Autumn colours. Then heading on to Kuitpo Forest, hunting for mushrooms among the pine trees and marvelling at the beautiful views from dirt roads. And finishing at Blanche Point, the gorgeous cliffs overlooking the ocean. The sky and light soft as the sun gently set behind the clouds. Such a gorgeous afternoon! Thanks for having me and a huge congrats again! xo

We kept the session natural and relaxed, first at home and then at a nearby park as the sun slowly set to that beautiful orange glow that I love. Thanks for having me again guys! Was such a pleasure. xo

Mahayla & Tim's Bohemian River Land Wedding

Mahayla and Tim’s wedding in the river land was an absolute dream. Not just the rural location right by the river Murray with beautiful old stone buildings around us. Not just the bohemian decorations giving the space a relaxed but beautiful vibe. But also how relaxed and fun the day was, and not just because there were kids playing underfoot. Mahayla and Tim managed to pull off an atmosphere where everyone could just relax and be themselves, sharing and celebrating the special and intimate moments of the day. A lovely day for the family to come together.

Meaghan & Luke's Geeky Barossa Valley Elopement

Meaghan & Luke’s elopement was simple, elegant and quiet but had some great elements of geekiness, quirkiness and casualness about it. From Harry Potter to Star Wars, they included cute little touches from many of the geeky things they love. A few geeky photos also made the day very fun! But most important of all, was the ceremony Kate lovingly put together that allowed them to marry their best friend - and spend the rest of their lives together as husband and wife.

Sam & Buddy's Ekhidna Wines Wedding

Sam & Buddy’s wedding was classic and authentic. Just watch how these guys looked at each other and you could feel the love. The day was full to bursting with beautiful things. All the special little touches they put together, the gifts and kind words. A ceremony full of love and photo adventures out to some of my favourite places in McLaren Vale, including Gull Rock. Then a night full of dancing and celebrating with loved ones. As always, I’m going to let the photos do the talking. xo

Kyla & Jane's Kuitpo Forest Wedding

Kyla & Jane had a relaxed, natural and romantic wedding surrounded by big, beautiful trees in Kuitpo Forest. Their day was full of gorgeous moments, from the ceremony, exchanging rings, first kiss, and becoming each other’s wives. To celebrating with loved ones in natural confetti and by dancing the night away. I adored the cute Kombi Van they hired as their wedding car, which took us along dirt paths to beautiful and natural places. And had a wonderful evening celebrating their love with their loved ones! Who looked great in their new rainbow socks.

Kelsey & Sam's K1 Winery Wedding

Kelsey and Sam’s wedding day was all about having FUN! And they planned (as much as possible) to be able to relax and enjoy the day, sharing as much of the fun as the possible. Having a first look to take their bridal party portraits before the ceremony so they could join in on the delicious canapes ensured that their day was all about sharing time with loves ones and the food of course! Our portrait sessions were also relaxed and fun, and an absolute breeze with the talented Mat from Hair by Mat Johnson ensuring not a hair was out of place or shoe left unpolished as we ventured down dirt paths to vines and trees. Thanks for having me guys! Was such a pleasure to capture your day and all the dancing that followed. 💃
