March 4, 2025

This was my first wedding at the Brae Dawesley and boy oh boy it did not disappoint! It didn’t hurt that Jane and Del are a couple of tens and that their wedding party were extremely colourful literally and figuratively. The perfect early autumn weather also made my job pretty easy, but the venue itself […]

St Peters College wedding, reception at Carrick Hill Pavilion.

When Kellie and James got in touch about the possibility of me shooting their St Peter’s College wedding it felt like the stars had aligned.

Adelaide wedding photos in Leigh Street near Fugazzi

Courtney and Nick tied the knot in a beautiful and intimate ceremony at the Adelaide Registry Office, marking the start of their next chapter together. For Courtney’s Canadian parents, who arrived just days before the wedding, it was quite the contrast—leaving behind a freezing -18°C winter to be greeted by a scorching 35°C Adelaide summer […]

Black and white bride and groom at Mt Lofty House Estate wedding

I love it when two cultures collide for a wedding, particularly when it’s at an exquisite location like Mount Lofty House Estate. Denise and her many German friends brought a high level of European sophistication and organisation to the event, while Tim and his Australian mates were able to introduce them to the Eagle Rock […]

Black and white photos of bride and groom during sunset at Kingsford the Barossa wedding.

As guests arrived at Andie and Gordon’s Kingsford The Barossa wedding they were met with a Masserati and a McLaren as they approached the building. As they went further there was an array of other cars that were important to the couple. Just in case anyone didn’t already know, Andie and Gordon are car people. […]

Most of the weddings I shoot kick off in the late afternoon, sometime around 4pm give or take, but my most recent 2 weddings at Mandalay House have taken place at night and at 11am!! Bethany and Mike decided on a morning wedding and relaxed garden party reception and it was absolutely delightful. The day […]
