There’s backyard weddings and there’s backyard weddings. Ella and Sam were fortunate to be able to use one of Adelaide’s finest backyards as their wedding venue, a stunning property on the iconic Victoria Drive.

Adelaide botanic gardens wedding

On Saturday I had the pleasure of capturing a small and intimate wedding at the Adelaide botanic gardens. With only 9 guests in attendance, the ceremony felt truly special and personal. A highlight of the day was the smoking ceremony conducted by Uncle Mickey Kumatpi Marrutya O’Brien, which added a beautiful cultural element to the […]

When your front yard consists of a deck overlooking the majestic waters of Hallett Cove there is absolutely no reason at all to get married anywhere else. I had the absolute pleasure of photographing this micro-wedding in what is perhaps the world’s first Vegas-themed front yard elopement! I’ve been in this game for many years […]

There are a few things that crank it up even further, such […]

Bride and Groom at Templewood House for a sunset wedding photo.

Cute moments, an incredible collection of fine wines and an overflowing of joy in every direction you looked is the way I would describe Kirby and Ash’s wedding at Templewood House. It was clear that a lot of effort went into putting this day together, and boy oh boy did it pay off. They were […]

Mariafe Artacho del Solar wedding photo with husband Jack Curtin at Glenelg Beach in Adelaide

When Mariafe and Jack told me of their plans to marry at 2pm, overlooking the ocean, in a shade-free park in the middle of summer I was nervous. There were a lot of factors working against me, shadows, squinting, heat, sweat, you name it. In hindsight I was a fool to question it – the […]

For most cities in the world, you’d need to drive for a while to find a gorgeous field for some photos, perhaps you would head up into the hinterland, or down to the coast somewhere. Not Adelaide. Right in heart of the city, in the CBD itself, exists a secret spot with lush native grasses, […]

Wet and windy are two things you’re not really looking for on your wedding day, but for Jess and Shaun it didn’t matter. The inside/outside debate had been raging all day, ultimately they decided to throw caution to the wind (literally) and roll the dice with the soggy bottom lawns at Mt Lofty House. In […]

I hate to say it, but you could make a pretty good case that the rest of the world does weddings better than we do. Whether it’s a French wedding that typically kicks on until the sun comes up the next morning or a Lebanese wedding that has the most insane drumming to get the […]
