Sunset photos at the Brae Dawesley

The weather gods are taking the piss, surely. 40 degrees in Autumn? It’s a bit hard to tell from the photos just how hot it was, but if you look closely there are signs. Like this water bottle flying across the barn towards waiting arms. And Stephanie’s dad, sending the A/C directly into his regions. […]

bride and groom at Jackson Square.

We’re well and truly in Autumn now, but the weather is still HOT, and it was no different for Bec and Forrest’s toasty Jackson Square wedding. With an Adelaide United game taking place over the road and providing a large scale party ambiance, Bec and Forrest partied with around 50 of their nearest and dearest […]

Botanic Gardens wedding

Lucy and Will had a very short engagement and planned their entire Botanic Gardens wedding in about three months. They were thrilled to see that the Gardens were available at such short notice (on a Saturday in March!) and it wasn’t until after they had secured the venue that they realised Womad was on that […]

bride and groom among the vines at a Mount Lotfy House small wedding

Several years before their Mount Lofty House small wedding, Micaela and Heath’s journey began with a connection on Hinge, leading to long, late-night phone calls that lasted for hours. Their first in-person meeting? A yoga class at a local studio – the perfect start to their laid-back, genuine love story. One year before their wedding […]

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. Their date was my only free Saturday over a busy two-month period, and their plan for the day sounded just about perfect. I started the day taking photos of Kellie […]

The station Kapunda wedding

When Dani and Luke told me about their plans for their The Station Kapunda wedding, I thought it sounded just about perfect. A big bridal party, but not too many guests. This meant that there was a real party atmosphere from the very start of the preparations until the very end of the night, but […]

Carrick Hill wedding

It’s been a few years since my last Carrick Hill wedding, during that time they managed to build an incredible new building that’s just perfect for a wedding reception with views of the city as the sun goes down. There are hot days, and then there was Lauren and Tim’s wedding day. The kind of […]

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 […]
