There were record breaking outback rains on Melissa and Ash’s wedding day, but they didn’t let that dampen their special day! With colours of purple and gold they got married in what felt like a big family reuinion. Being 6th generation it was special for Melissa to get married at the Laura Catholic Church, where her family name is remembered in one of the stained glass windows. After a brief dash through the rain they celebrated their reception at the Laura Civic Centre. Sneaking out one last time for photos as the rain eased up in the evening.

Ali and Joe had an intimate, chilled and small wedding at an absolutely stunning venue in Deep Creek. The Naiko Retreat, a beautiful and eco escape from the every day complete with UFO style massage cabin. (You just have to check out their website to see what we mean.) With beautiful views of the sea, nestled amongst nature and kangaroos, it was a relaxing space for Ali and Joe to celebrate their wedding. They had their ceremony down on the beach, followed by a delicious meal prepared at their accommodation.

Bec & Johnny has an intimate, happy and relaxed wedding at Burbrook Forest beneath that gorgeous iconic tree. Surrounded by just the nearest and dearest, with delicious platters and donuts to follow. Their day was full of smiles and laughs, and Bec looked stunning in the gorgeous dress made by her mum! We took photos around the beautiful Kuitpo as well as a short little drive to the rolling hills near Willunga.

I love capturing family photos as part of your special day! So many family members have traveled to be with you, put on their best outfits, and are just excited to celebrate with you. Your wedding family photos will be printed, shared, loved and cherished by you and future family members for so many years. That said… Family photos can end up being one of the more stressful parts of your day. This blog gives some tips on what to expect and how to plan your family photos. x

Steph and Ben had an intimate and traditional little wedding in Glenelg at the St Peter’s Anglican Church. A gorgeous day full of fun and personal touches, like a flower crown for their furry friend Rommy and fun balloons with messages like “you only get married twice”! After a traditional ceremony and afternoon tea at the Church we headed back to Steph’s family home for a few more special family traditions. Before finishing up with some gorgeous sunset portraits nearby. It was such a special day!

Childhood sweethearts Niamh & Nick had a nice and laidback wedding with a fresh garden and vintage feel at the gorgeous Carrick Hill. A place Niamh visited when she was younger. As a girl it was a fairy tale experience exploring the story book trail with fairy costumes. This time round was no less of a fairy tale. They spent the day celebrating with their friends and family, both in person and over the distant seas through video chat. Arriving in some very cool cars and enjoying the gorgeous gardens and view, along with the amazing service from the staff at Carrick Hill, dishing up delicious meals. I’ve also never seen so many people get up and dance the nutbush, what a dance floor!

Megan and Luke had a surprise wedding at their engagement party on Saturday - a perfectly warm and sunny day by the beach. The room was styled so beautifully, with soft pink tones and florals. A sign greeting guests on arrival to let them know the good news! Surprise! They married on the narrow balcony overlooking the water shortly after all the guests had arrived. As the sun set we took relaxed & natural portraits with our feet in the sand. Before spending the rest of the night celebrating and dancing!

Tamsyn, Mitchell and I spent one late Spring arvo together hanging out in the Barossa Valley to capture their engagement portraits. The sun was shining and giving us plenty of light to get creative with. The Barossa Valley is gorgeous with it’s rolling hills, golden fields, creek beds and trees. Congratulations again on your engagement guys! x

Bec and Angas married with a very intimate group in an elopement style at a gorgeous little McLaren Vale B&B. Celebrating their marriage and enjoying the day for what it was truly about. I spent some time with Bec as she got ready, and Angas while he decorated the arbor. Before a special first look and photos around the grounds. You’d never guess from the beauty for the scenery how many cow poos we had to dodge, hehe. Thank you so much for sharing this special day with me guys!

Ainsely received this portrait sesesioni as a beautiful gift from her Aunt, a nice way to create a time capsule of her early twenties. I love sessions like this! It’s a great time to remember and celebrate, whilst having the added bonus of boosting self confidence. I like to think of them as self-love-sessions.
