AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

May 28, 2025

It was a nice day for a black wedding as Mahalia and Cam invited all their guests to wear black to their Longview wedding. Mahalia came to the party too in her black dress, and Cam’s suit was such a deep shade of maroon it was nearly black too. Some love stories begin with grand […]

Sunset photos at the Brae Dawesley

The weather gods are taking the piss, surely. 40 degrees in Autumn? It’s a bit hard to tell from the photos just how hot it was, but if you look closely there are signs. Like this water bottle flying across the barn towards waiting arms. And Stephanie’s dad, sending the A/C directly into his regions. […]

bride and groom among the vines at a Mount Lotfy House small wedding

Several years before their Mount Lofty House small wedding, Micaela and Heath’s journey began with a connection on Hinge, leading to long, late-night phone calls that lasted for hours. Their first in-person meeting? A yoga class at a local studio – the perfect start to their laid-back, genuine love story. One year before their wedding […]

This was my first wedding at the Brae Dawesley and boy oh boy it did not disappoint! It didn’t hurt that Jane and Del are a couple of tens and that their wedding party were extremely colourful literally and figuratively. The perfect early autumn weather also made my job pretty easy, but the venue itself […]

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 […]

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 […]
