AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

I’ve got a soft spot for back yard weddings. I got married in my own back yard and wouldn’t have it any other way – there’s a certain intimacy when you welcome people into your home that is hard to match elsewhere. Likewise, I’ve also got a soft spot for Belair National Park. It’s where […]

  It’s not every day you get to shoot a wedding on a movie set, but that’s exactly what Brooklyn Farm brings to the table. Roughly 10 years ago Scott Hicks (best known as the director and screenwriter of the Oscar-winning Shine) made a movie starring Hollywood heartthrob Clive Owen in little old South Australia […]

To be honest, before heading up to Longview for this wedding my experience of the haka had been limited to watching the All Blacks intimidate the hell out of whoever they were about to destroy (actually, not entirely true, I saw the Tall Blacks play Team USA at the Sydney Olympics in 2000 and they […]

A question I have been asked more and more in recent years is “we’re thinking of seeing each other before the wedding, is this a good idea?” Seeing one another pre-wedding, also known as a first look, has become hugely popular lately to the point that 6 of the first 12 weddings I’ve photographed have had one. In […]

  If I was writing a manual on how to do a wedding I’d use Kat and Steve’s day as my blueprint. Step 1 – find a property, ideally in the hills and surrounded by gum trees Step 2 – Build a dance floor from wooden crates and erect a marquee (it helps if the groom […]

UPDATE – Below is the post I wrote several month ago about the SA Professional Photography Awards (SAPPAs). Just yesterday the National Awards (APPAs) were judged, I entered the same photos and managed to jag 3 silver awards – a better result than at the State Awards!! *** Last weekend the cream of the SA photography […]

Adam’s first love was not Bec. It was Eleanor, his 1970 XW Ford Falcon. When he proposed he said there’s one condition about the wedding – “that I get to finish doing up my car so she can be in it!!” True to his word Eleanor was finished for the wedding and Adam and boys […]

  With nearly 200 weddings under my belt it’s not often I come across something I’ve not seen before, but Louise and Ash executed a reception idea that was totally new and super awesome. Fairy lights overhead are pretty commonplace, and rightly so, they look freakin’ awesome and really make the photos sing, but the […]

***MORE PHOTOS BELOW *** Q: What happens when you combine The Big Day Out with a time honoured tradition where rings are exchanged and promises made? A: Chloe and Andy’s wedding. It started like any other wedding, a group of guys kicking back acting way too relaxed for such a big occasion. A bunch of girls […]
