Bride and groom at Golding winery.

On Saturday I had the absolute pleasure of capturing a super fun wedding at the stunning Golding Winery in the Adelaide Hills. The sun was shining, and it was a warm summer day, creating the perfect backdrop for one epic celebration. The wedding party was huge, with 6 bridesmaids and 6 groomsmen, plus Mel and […]

Same sex wedding at Longview in the Adelaide hills

I’ve shot a lot of weddings at Longview, one of the most spectacular wineries this state has to offer, and Heath and Blaire’s was among the most memorable. Whether it was Blaire’s Christian Louboutin shoes, the incredibly fun wedding party, or the guy who must have been well into his 80s absolutely dominating the dance […]

Virginia and Peter’s wedding at the Winehouse Langhorne creek was unlike any wedding I’ve been to before. For a start, the wedding party consisted entirely of their kids, a beautiful collection of souls who clearly loved one another deeply. Secondly, there was no aisle! This made things a little tricky for me, but as a […]

When I first met Nicole and Cam they told me how much they loved sunsets. I mean, everyone loves sunsets, but these guys LOVE sunsets and it was important to them to get some sweet shots of the sun saying goodnight to their wedding. Honestly, I was a bit like “well, a fair bit of […]

  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 […]

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.

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 […]

  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 […]
