AN ADELAIDE WEDDING PHOTOGRAPHER

September 1, 2022

Natasha and Chris are two of the loveliest people you could hope to meet, with the worst luck imaginable when it came to their wedding. We did an engagement shoot way back in early 2020, pre-pandemic, when the world was simpler. Then covid struck and their wedding plans were thrown into disarray, the date had […]

The last time I posted a wedding on this blog we were in a pre-covid world. Instagram is an incredible way to share work, but it’s also important to show how a wedding photography collection comes together in the long-form (having said that, these photos make up less than 10% of the whole collection, you […]

If you’re a dog lover and you want your fur babies on board at your wedding you need to make sure your venue is on board. BJ and CJ really love their dogs and fortunately, Howard Vineyard in the Adelaide Hills is one such venue. They love their dogs so much that CJ surprised BJ […]

I used to always put together an end of year slideshow, it was a great way of distilling 12 months of hard work into a few minutes of easily sharable content (doesn’t sounds so romantic when you put it like that). The last couple of years I never got around to it, but to round […]

Sometimes everything comes together just right. The venue (Brooklyn Farm is next level awesome), the weather, the couple, the guests and all the other little things just fall into place. I’m sure Sasha and Brett (but mostly Sasha!) would have a slightly different take on in, with all the planning, organising, rushing around and ensuring […]

  I’ve been sitting on this blog post for way too long. During wedding season life is pretty hectic and I find it tough to squeeze blogging into the mix, but once the offseason gets underway sometime in May I find myself with more time up my sleeve. Then once the NBA playoffs finish up in […]

Sometimes a wedding sounds too good to be true. When Connie and Luke told me of their plans to get married in Innes National Park, on the south-west tip of the Yorke Peninsula, I could barely contain my excitement. I absolutely love every country wedding, the chance to see new places, spend a night or […]

Mount Lofty House is not only one of Adelaide’s most picturesque wedding venues, it’s also one of the most versatile. The onsite accommodation means the guys can get ready in one place, the girls in another, then the ceremony is held with the Picadilly Valley as a backdrop and the reception is just 50 metres […]

Golding winery wedding

          Poppy and Shaun have all kinds of things in common. They’re both super laid back, sporty, and tall –  she’s literally a tall Poppy. They also have this beautiful connection and comfort level around one another, it’s super cheesy but when you spend a bit of time with them legitimately feels […]

For whatever reason, it hardly ever rains at the wrong time on a wedding day. Maybe it’s because 95% of my weddings are in the driest state of the driest continent on earth, actually, that’s almost certainly the reason, but even when rain is forecast it always seems to dodge my weddings when it needs to.
