There nothing quite like a backyard wedding. I’ve got a real soft spot for them having been married in my own backyard so whenever a backyard wedding comes up on my radar, I really look forward to it. Sarah and Jacob got married in Sarah‘s parents backyard which was the perfect location for them and […]

I don’t know what it is about Longview weddings, but they always seem to deliver epic dance floors. Perhaps it’s the dancing room (as opposed to an area in the main area), maybe it’s the fact all the punters have been sipping on delicious Longview grape juice all evening, or in this case if might […]

When it comes to weddings, there’s nothing new under the sun. At least that’s what I used to think, but every now and then a wedding comes along that is unlike anything I’ve seen in my nearly 500 unions to date, and Mel and Jack’s whimsical afternoon at Simon Hackett Winery was one of those […]

Chante and Mitch spent some time in Adelaide several years ago through Mitch’s work but neither of them are from here, in fact, almost none of their guests were Adelaideans either so what better place to have as the central hub of the wedding than the iconic Largs Pier Hotel? They each got ready at […]

South Australia decided to deliver a proper wet wedding for Amber and Sam’s big day. It didn’t end up being as much as it could have been, but the non-stop drizzle across basically the entire day provided a beautiful, moody backdrop to the proceedings. Amber (and to a much lesser extent, Sam) were all over […]

There are plenty of famous movies of couples meeting in London; Notting Hill, Love Actually, Four Weddings and a Funeral, the list goes on. Sadly, when it comes to love stories of couples who met on the sticky floors of the London Tavern, Hollywood has taken a more conservative approach. If a Hollywood exec ever […]

I got married in my backyard many moons ago, and since that time I’ve been incredibly fortunate to photograph loads of other backyard weddings in and around Adelaide. Last year I shot a small backyard wedding on a 44 degree day – the groom’s family had all come directly from a UK winter and they […]

I love the period between Christmas and New Year, everyone’s in full relaxation mode, people often have the week off work, and the evenings are generally balmy, perfect for a few cold drinks – Lauren and Daley’s Lloyd Brother wedding ticked all those boxes. (I also met my wife at a friend’s wedding during this […]

Some weddings just glide, and Lilian and Lindsay’s day at K1 Wines was exactly that. A warm, easy afternoon, a lake that looked like it was pulled straight from a postcard, and a bunch of very happy humans ready for a proper garden party. The whole place had that effortless charm that makes everything feel […]
