St Patricks Church Wedding – Katie & Stairs

  • Katie & Stairs

    St Patricks Church Wedding

    On the road

It was super fun to be the wedding photographer at Katie and Stairs’ wedding at Adelaide’s St Patricks Church on Grote st as the entire day was super laid back and simple but still full of fun and laughter all day.

I was asked to be their photographer all day from preparation through to the end of their reception at the Jade pub in the city. We travelled to the South Terrace Veale and Himeji gardens for their glamour photos directly after their ceremony

<h3>Preparation</h3>
The day started as it usually does with the preparation of Stairs’ and his entourage at his parents house just outside of the city. Much of the morning was spent placing ribbons on his prized VW wagon before starting to get dressed.

Katie and her bridal party were being prepared in a beautiful house just to the south of the city, complete with stunning atrium and wood work all throughout the house, was an awesome spot for bridal preparation photos! The big surprise of a VW combi was a lot of fun for Katie and everyone there – apparently Stairs had organised the bridal car unbeknownst to anyone else.

<h3>St Patricks Church Wedding Ceremony</h3>
The St Patricks Church on Grote street in Adelaide has been described as one of the most impressive churches in the Archdiocese of Adelaide, having celebrated it’s centenary in 2014, this old church certainly lives up to it’s reputation in grandeur. With it’s tall central ceiling decorated in gold leaf and huge roman columns either side of the congregation pews it certainly make for an impressive view once walking in it’s doors.

Katie and Stair’s modest guest list barely filled the first half of the available seating within the church, but this only made the ceremony that much more intimate while their harpist strummed a delightful melody throughout the ceremony.

<h3>Glamour Photos</h3>
After the mandatory family photos were finished out the front of St Patricks Church, we head over to the Himeji and Veale gardens on South Terrace to make use of the greenery for their glamour photos. It was very important to take it slow and have fun with the whole bridal party all throughout which made the whole experience super laid back and enjoyable.

<h3>The Jade Wedding Reception</h3>
We arrived at The Jade pub a little late for the reception party, but this really wasn’t much of an issue as one of the only traditional parts of their night was speeches and cutting their cake – the rest was just sitting back and enjoying themselves while surrounded by family and friends – which I think is an awesome way to spend your wedding night!

Mulberry Lodge Wedding – Heidi & Jory

The Mulberry Lodge, just out of Mclaren vale, on the road to Willunga was the backdrop to Heidi and Jory’s intimate wedding ceremony on an extremely sunny and rather windy day in early January. I was asked to be their wedding photographer for 6 hours which saw me cover parts of their preparation through to the cake cutting at their reception next door at the Au Pear restaurant. One fun thing I did differently at their wedding was experiment in making a short ‘highlight’ video with the aim for gaining some experience in producing video like this as a future offering to augment my services – look out for that 😉

Preparation

The day began at Jory’s place of preparation where all the groomsmen were getting ready and enjoying a rather nice drop of red in the form of a bottle of Penfolds Grange! Rather a nice treat for a beautiful day.

The girls were making use of the on site accomodation at the Mulberry Lodge to be prepared. It was a lovely rustic setting with the olden time style that always works well as a backdrop to preparation photos.

Mulberry Lodge Wedding Ceremony

The Mulberry Lodge is a small, intimate setting suitable for small weddings where there’s a reasonable sized grassy area next to the lodge with a pretty tree that provides shade over where the bride and groom stands in front of their congregation. As the day was quite windy, the tree and all the foliage surrounding the congregation was blowing quite heartily, and with the beating sun made for quite the challenging ceremony to photograph.

Glamour Photos

For glamour photos we first used the gardens and driveway surrounding the Mulberry Lodge before heading over to the Au Pear restaurant’s vineyards next door for a bit of variety. My goal was to use the sun’s light as much as possible to create a lovely light and airy feel to Heidi and Jory’s photos.

Au Pear Restaurant Wedding Reception

The Au Pear restaurant’s reception hall looks to be an old rustic farm shed complete with old machinery still inside. It made the entire reception party feel quite laid back and heartfelt, especially when combined with the live band and hand made decorations scattered about the place, including the wedding cake which Heidi had made herself.
