Same sex wedding at Longview in the Adelaide hills

I’ve shot a lot of weddings at Longview, one of the most spectacular wineries this state has to offer, and Heath and Blaire’s was among the most memorable. Whether it was Blaire’s Christian Louboutin shoes, the incredibly fun wedding party, or the guy who must have been well into his 80s absolutely dominating the dance […]

Mariafe Artacho del Solar wedding photo with husband Jack Curtin at Glenelg Beach in Adelaide

When Mariafe and Jack told me of their plans to marry at 2pm, overlooking the ocean, in a shade-free park in the middle of summer I was nervous. There were a lot of factors working against me, shadows, squinting, heat, sweat, you name it. In hindsight I was a fool to question it – the […]

Bride and groom in wild flowers at Snelling Beach Kangaroo Island

Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, and Leah and Edward’s size was small. 26 of their nearest and dearest were on hand to witness their nuptials, and enjoy the celebrations afterwards, including a bunch of kids who were straight up having the time of their lives.

Mandalay House Wedding Spring

As far as wedding venues around South Australia go, there are few that conjure up images of old-world charm with a modern twist quite like Mandalay House. The grounds themselves are spectacular, but that’s just the beginning, the homestead is big and open and ideal for bridal preparations, and remoteness feels like you’ve been transported […]

Irina and Jason managed to pull off an incredible, intimate wedding with just a few short months of planning time, but you’d never know it. White Hill Estate was the perfect canvas for their reception masterpiece, a single long table illuminated by overhead festoon light, it created an incredibly intimate atmosphere for around 40 of […]

For most cities in the world, you’d need to drive for a while to find a gorgeous field for some photos, perhaps you would head up into the hinterland, or down to the coast somewhere. Not Adelaide. Right in heart of the city, in the CBD itself, exists a secret spot with lush native grasses, […]
