Loren and Tyson’s Golding winery wedding was a joyful celebration of color, minimalism, and good vibes. Their big wedding party was bursting at the seams with laid back peeps who were quick to laugh, it was like shooting fish in a barrel for me! I was shooting next to Good Day Dwyer on the film […]

Lake Breeze wines wedding photo

I’ve seen a lot in 17 years of shooting weddings, and it’s always an incredible thrill when something new comes along, so when Imogen and Ray told me their plan for the first dance at their Lake Breeze Wines wedding it’s fair to say I was a bit excited. Rather than the usual dance, they […]

Adelaide Hills elopement days are always pretty special, and Kristie and Zurick’s celebration at Templewood House was no different. Nestled in Inglewood SA, this magical venue was the perfect intimate backdrop for their small wedding.

It was a nice day for a black wedding as Mahalia and Cam invited all their guests to wear black to their Longview wedding. Mahalia came to the party too in her black dress, and Cam’s suit was such a deep shade of maroon it was nearly black too. Some love stories begin with grand […]

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 […]
