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 […]

I haven’t shot a Barrister’s Block wedding for a few years, but when a stroke of luck allowed me to shoot this one, I was pretty chuffed…. 2024 has been a year of firsts for me, first night wedding, first wedding ending up at Adelaide Oval for the test match, and the first time I […]

First dance at Glen Ewin Estate wedding

When Ali and Peter sent me their list of suppliers for their Glen Ewin Estate wedding I knew it would be a good one. I was not wrong. Let’s start with the dress. Couture+Love+Madness is an incredible homegrown success story, Cristina and her team have been crafting incredibly unique and personal dresses since 2011 and […]

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. […]

Couple lying on the lawns at Mandalay House

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 […]

Bride and groom at Paracombe Premium Perry wedding

I’ve been shooting weddings in and around Adelaide for nearly 15 years, and until now, a Paracombe Premium Perry wedding hadn’t come my way. If I’m honest, I’d never even really heard of this hidden gem. What a treat it was to discover this delightful pear farm was also a photographer’s paradise, with trees in […]

night wedding at Mandalay House

Mandalay House and Gardens, one of the absolute jewels in the crown of South Australian wedding venues, was absolutely immaculate on Saturday, just perfect. Everywhere you turned there was a new and different garden, or plant, or statue – springtime is when the place really sings. So when Carly and Jake told me of their […]
