Tell me about your The Beginning! We met in Mildura when James moved from the Adelaide Hills to Mildura for work. Our first date was a trip to the cinema after we both missed a movie that a group of friends was going to see. Thor Ragnarok, very romantic! When and where did you get […]

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. Thanks so much for having me on board, […]

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.

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, […]

Rustic ruins at Paxton winery wedding

After their first attempt at getting married earlier this year was scuttled by a covid case at the hens party and subsequent close contract restrictions (they feel like a lifetime ago!), Imogen and Cooper finally made it happen on the weekend. With the weather gods smiling, and the winemaking gods from Paxton weaving their magic […]

Wet and windy are two things you’re not really looking for on your wedding day, but for Jess and Shaun it didn’t matter.

Virginia and Peter’s wedding at the Winehouse Langhorne creek was unlike any wedding I’ve been to before.
