Mount Lofty Estate Autumn wedding, just married

Is there anything more majestic than a Mount Lofty Estate wedding in the Autumn? These endless dry, cloudless days aren’t much fun for the farmers, but they’re excellent for us wedding photographers, and when you combine them with a vibrant wedding party, a venue as salubrious as Mt Lofty House and a couple of joyful […]

Pike and Joyce Wedding, Bride and groom in the vines.

I’ve been to most of the wineries over the many years I’ve been shooting weddings, but this was my first ever Pike and Joyce wedding and I was blown away! I was nearly literally blown away as it was pretty windy up there, but I was definitely metaphorically blown away by the views down the […]

Bride at groom at the Glen Ewin Estate pulpshed.

It was an absolute Simon-fest at Dani and Tom’s Glen Ewin Pulpshed wedding – two groomsmen, a bridesmate and a photographer all going by the same name! This was my third wedding in as many days, but my wedding fitness is high (despite my fitness in other aspects of life being sub par!) and I […]

When Caitlin and Brett told me about their plans for an intimate Mount Lofty House wedding with no bridal party I thought it sounded perfect. Weddings come in all shapes and sizes, and this small(ish) one was something special, plenty of guests, family and friends to celebrate, but an absence of bridesmaids and groomsmen meant […]

Four knights, two ceremonies and one loved-up couple at this Manor Basket Range Wedding. You’ve never seen anything like this. I know I certainly hadn’t in all my years of documenting weddings.

Bride getting ready for her wedding at Theile House in Hahndorf in the Adelaide Hills

Autumn is a season of enchantment, especially when it comes to a Howard Vineyard wedding. While Weddings in Adelaide Hills do get chilly in the evenings, and the risk of rain is a little higher than other times during the year, the trade-off of gorgeous soft light, magical colours among the vines and a warming […]

Bride and Groom at Templewood House for a sunset wedding photo.

Cute moments, an incredible collection of fine wines and an overflowing of joy in every direction you looked is the way I would describe Kirby and Ash’s wedding at Templewood House. It was clear that a lot of effort went into putting this day together, and boy oh boy did it pay off. They were […]
