Sinclairs Gully Wedding – Jessica & Adam

    Sinclairs Gully Wedding

    Adelaide Wedding Photography

Sinclairs Gully winery is the type of venue you just have to jump at the opportunity to shoot a wedding at, which is exactly what happened when Jessica and Adam asked me to be their wedding photographer. In order to cater to their short wedding plans, they asked to use my engagement shoot rate to cover their wedding for only 90 minutes which was enough time to photograph their ceremony and a few glamour shots after. They held their wedding a little later in the day so by the time their ceremony was scheduled, the sun was already fading, and the overcast skies weren’t helping either. However this kind of light is pretty much perfect for photography so I was having a blast 🙂

Before the wedding

As usual I was on site at Sinclairs Gully early, in fact only Adam and his groomsmen were there putting the finishing touches on the venue. So I wandered about taking photos of all their personal touches and the boys helping calm the nerves of Adam. Once the girls arrived I was able to take a few shots of them together with their adorable VW van.

Sinclairs Gully wedding ceremony

Sinclairs Gully is a winery hidden away in Norton Summit, and when you’re there it feels as though you’d only even know about the place if you already knew it was there. The incredible privacy the venue provides due to the lush Australian bushland is perfect for an intimate wedding ceremony such as Jessica and Adam’s. The bushland provides for beautiful bokeh when used as a backdrop to wedding photos and it really is just beautiful. There’s even a Australian animal reserve on site too!

Jessica and Adam’s wedding ceremony took place in a small clearing situated at the foot of the Sinclairs Gully winery carpark, so the setting was completely surrounded by gum trees and scrubland. During their ceremony they held a time capsule ceremony where they placed a bottle of Sinclairs Gully wine into a home-made timecapsule, along with love letters to one another only to be opened on their 10th anniversary. It’s a lovely gesture and a fun thing to put on display in their home.

Glamour Photos

After the ceremony and family photos, we had around 30 minutes for some glamour photos around the winery grounds. It was quite an easy task to create something epic and eye catching as the surrounds just simply lends itself well to the task. I was really looking forward to getting around to editing this wedding as I knew some of the shots I took were absolutely stunning!

Even though the coverage was short, I sure enjoyed myself while I was taking photos at Jessica and Adam’s wedding, and I hope they enjoy the photos I took! 🙂

Peacock Farm Wedding – Kate & Callen

    Peacock Farm Wedding

    Kiss in the foliage

It was a wonderfully sunny March day in Willunga for Kate and Callen’s wedding at the wonderfully rustic Peacock Farm. Their day was full of people who loved them and they looked as though they enjoyed themselves immensely, just as I did visiting a new wedding venue and exploring some wonderful, new scenes to take photos in! 🙂 They had me as their wedding photographer all day so I started with Callen’s place of preparation in Woodcroft, before heading over to Kate’s just around the corner.

Preparation

Callen and his best man had the run of the house for preparation, with a large amount of time realising that new shirts needed to be ironed before being worn lest there be huge crease marks running along them. Other than that we got dressed then went for a short walk to the nearby park. Callen was taking the whole occasion in his stride, with any nerves really only making an appearance later whilst waiting for Kate to arrive at Peacock Farm.

After documenting the boy’s preparation, I head over to Kate’s place of preparation, which happened to be the couple’s house just around the corner. As with the boys, the atmosphere was wonderfully laid back with minimal evidence of nerves. In fact most of the time was spent calming down the cats who were locked away in the laundry and didn’t seem to like each other’s company much 🙂

Peacock Farm Wedding Ceremony

The Peacock Farm in Willunga is nestled in the side streets of the sleepy little town and provides a wonderfully rustic backdrop to a wedding. Complete with a historic shearing shed and dozens of peacocks on site the site even boasts a large pond/lake which Kate and Callen’s ceremony looked over. Unfortunately it was dry at the time of their wedding. The entire farm is set up as a sustainable function venue where all aspects of your day are provided in a completely environmentally friendly manner. There is also a rustic cottage on site which serves as a convenient bed and breakfast for the bridal couple to retire to directly after their reception has ended.

Glamour Shots

Directly after their wedding ceremony, I busted out my drone for a few overhead whole group photos, then splintered off for some family photos. Then we made use of the beautifully picturesque gardens surrounding the venue to take some photos. The range of shots available at Peacock Farm is fantastic, ranging from a lush green backdrop, to rustic farmland-style cottage and barns. It really was a lovely venue to shoot a wedding at!

Peacock Farm Wedding Reception

The farm has a nice closed-in function area where Kate and Callen held their reception. The venue has ample room to host a small to large gathering of people in a both seated or cocktail-style party. Judging by the amount of promotional material on the walls around the bar the venue hosts quite a bit of indy and underground music gigs, and at a setting like this I’d imagine they’d be something that would be really fun to attend.

I’d like to thank Kate and Callen for having me as their wedding photographer. I enjoyed myself immensely at their wedding, and I very much hope they enjoy their photos!

Framed wedding photography is a must

April 12, 2017/in Wedding, ideas, News & Events

There’s something special about seeing a nicely framed piece of photography hanging on a wall, especially when it’s of your own framed wedding photography. It’s so incredibly important for people of the digital age to realise that investing in a properly printed and framed version of all their digital professional photos can add an incredible value to your home and life.

Framed wedding photo

Imagine having something like these printed and framed works of art hanging on your wall at home, instead of languishing on your computer’s hard drive. People you entertain at your home will see them and think ‘wow’. Each time you walk past it you’ll also remember the day and the moment that image was snapped. Viewing framed wedding photography is such a different experience than simply flicking through your digital album, primarily because the ability of computer monitors and TVs simply cannot come close to the level of fidelity a properly printed image can. It’s kind of like trying to read a book on an ipad, who prefers an actual paper book? It’s the same sensation.

Framed wedding photography

These images were printed and framed using different processes as prizes in the 2016 SvenStudios People’s Choice wedding photo of the year contest. One was printed using the highest quality art paper and then framed professionally, the other was printed on silver halide paper then mounted between two pieces of sturdy acrylic to create an ultra modern finish. The options SvenStudios provides for framing wedding photography is on display here, and are of the highest quality. Yes the prices tend to be a little more than what you can buy at BigW, but when you’re producing works of art, using only the highest quality product will suffice.

These completed pieces will now be given to the two winners of my annual photograph of the year contest and I’m sure they’ll find a suitable home for these marvellous creations!
