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.

Bride and Groom Mannum wedding with cars.

Jacqui and Tony found one another late in life. So late, in fact, that they managed to have 10 children between them before they met! But you’d be hard-pressed to find a couple of love birds who are as smitten with one another as these two. Tony is an absolute romantic, the type of thoughtful […]
