Veale Gardens Wedding – Bianca & Russell

March 30, 2015/in Wedding, Wedding preview

The 14th of February saw me acting as the wedding photographer at the lovely laid back wedding of Bianca and Russell, set in the Adelaide Veale Gardens, south of the city. After their ceremony in Veale Gardens, we headed off to Semaphore beach for some shots near the jetty, and then to the Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron for their reception. The day’s weather was possibly the hottest wedding day I had ever experienced. The scorching weather saw us cutting some photo taking opportunities short, such as our time at Semaphore beach and getting some shots of the couple’s baby there.

Groomsmen Preparation

Russell and his brother were getting ready at their parent’s house in North Haven along with the couple’s little bub who unfortunately was not a very happy chappie with a tooth ache. That said however he was a stoic little chap, didn’t cry much just showed his frustration with a glum face 🙂 otherwise, the groomsmen preparation was fairly typical wedding day affair, with the groom arriving late and rushing through a checklist of things to do.

Bridal Preparation

Bianca was getting ready at a house not too far away in peterhead. A very laid back affair, the girls weren’t too fussed getting ready too quickly and were quite happy kicking back with a bit of a bite to eat and wine. Bianca’s wedding dress wasn’t overly fiddly to get on, so did not take long.

Veale Gardens Wedding Ceremony

Bianca and Russell’s wedding ceremony took place near the Veal Gardens pond closest to the function center on South road. Possibly the most popular pond to hold a wedding at as I’ve now done a few at that particular pond. Veale Gardens is part of the Adelaide Parklands throughout and surrounding the City of Adelaide, and is located south of the city. Veale Gardens is named after William Charles Douglas Veale, who was Adelaide’s Town Clerk from January 1947 to November 1965 The gardens feature a multitude of small ponds and a small man-made river betwixt rolling manicured grass hills with an impressive rose garden at it’s center.

Veale Gardens Glamour Shots

After the ceremony we had a few hours to walk about both Veale Gardens and Semaphore beach to capture some glamour shots. The Gardens have a few marvellous locations for such a thing and I think it’s quite obvious why Veale Gardens is a popular location for weddings and wedding photography shoots.

Semaphore Beach Glamour shots

As the weather was incredibly hot, of course hundreds of people flocked to the cool reprieve Semaphore beach offers. In order to take these shots I had to photoshop out dozens of swimmers who made it their goal to get in the background of Bianca and Russell’s nice beach shots. But it’s all in good fun 🙂

Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron Wedding Reception

The Royal South Australian Yacht Squadron clubhouses have recently been renovated into a marvellous venue for a wedding reception. Overlooking the yachts, the modern conference room has ample room for  a few hundred people with dancing and bar areas. The current site of the Squadron has been in place since 1923, after having moved locations multiple times between it’s beginnings at Birkenhead in 1912.

As always I had an absolute blast as Bianca and Russell’s Wedding Photographer at their wedding at Veale Gardens, and I hope they enjoy their photographs as much as I enjoyed taking them!

Seppeltsfield Winery Wedding Photos

March 15, 2015/in Wedding

After Bronwyn & Robert’s wedding ceremony at the Gawler Uniting Church we head off to take some glamour photographs in a variety of locations, including the Gawler gardens around the church, and Seppeltsfield Winery up in Seppeltsfield. We also stopped off in various locations around Seppeltsfield as it’s set in such a beautiful location, surrounded by the Barossa Valley with fantastic palm trees and vineyards.

Gawler Parklands wedding photos

The Gawler parklands within the town of Gawler, north of Adelaide are sprawling and diverse in nature. Gawler was the first country town settled in the state,, and is named after the second Governor of the colony of South Australia, George Gawler. Gawler is about 44km north of Adelaide.

Seppeltsfield Winery Wedding Photos

Seppeltsfield winery boasts a beautifully manicured central garden surrounded by old rustic buildings with wild, luck green forestry nearby and of course the Seppeltsfield winery vineyards. It;s pretty much the perfect location of a wedding photographer such as myself. The Seppeltsfield winery was originally build in 1888 as a Gravity Flow Winery. Established in 1888, the historic building was designed and constructed by Oscar Benno Seppelt, son of Seppeltsfield founders Joseph & Johanna. Built into the hillside on a series of terraces, the visionary winery was the largest and most modern of its type in the world during the late 19th century.

For almost 100 years, the 1888 Gravity Flow cellar served as Seppeltsfield’s chief winemaking facility. Having played an important role in shaping the foundation of Australia’s wine landscape, it was eventually decommissioned in the 1980’s due to the need for significant restoration. The cellar lay dormant for nearly 30 years until it was revived under Warren Randall with the change of Seppeltsfield’s ownership in 2007. A million-dollar investment restored the seppeltsfield winery to a world-class facility for vintage 2010.

Gawler Uniting Church Wedding – Bronwyn & Robert

March 15, 2015/in Wedding, Wedding preview

Bronwyn & Robert’s wedding at the Gawler Uniting Church was a beautiful wedding in beautiful surrounds set against beautiful weather on the 21st of January 2015. The day was just beautiful. Did I mention beautiful? With the boys getting ready all the way out in Seppeltsfield, and the girls getting ready in Gawler, then heading back up to Seppeltsfield winery for glamour shots, and finally the reception being in Modbury’s Sferas the trek for both myself and my second photographer who lives south of the city was quite exhausting. Bronwyn and Robert opted to hire me as their wedding photographer for the entire day with an additional photographer present for a couple of hours.

Groomsmen preparation

The groomsmen were getting ready in a family owned farm in Seppltsfield, north of Adelaide. The house was a quaint, homey farmhouse surrounded by vineyards and rolling wine-region hills.

Bridal Party Preparation

Bronwyn and her entourage were getting prepared just around the corner from the Gawler Uniting Church, so their journey was not as far as that for the boys. The girls were getting prepared in the house Bronwyn and Robert share. We had a lot of fu re-arranging the furniture to get the best vantage points for photos using a lovely bay window they had and spiral stair case.

Gawler Uniting Church Wedding Ceremony

The Gawler Uniting Church is an imposing piece of architecture, looming over the local supermarket and parklands. It was built in 1869 as a Wesleyan Methodist church in a Gothic style, replacing a church built in 1850 which we also utilised for a few photos. I believe the old church is now used as a charity center. The inside of the Gawler Uniting Church is no less inspiring featuring a very high ceiling and impressive woodwork behind the altar. I’d hazard a guess the maximum capacity of this 2 aisle church would be no less than 300-400 people.
