This venue, a jewel in the heart of the city, has witnessed countless declarations of love, its walls steeped in the history of Adelaide itself. As an Adelaide wedding photographer, capturing moments in such a historic venue always adds a layer of enchantment to the photos. The stately Ayers House, with its blend of old-world charm and modern sophistication, provided a perfect backdrop for Radhika and Vince’s elegant and heartwarming celebration.

The atmosphere throughout the day was electric, filled with the joy and excitement of two families uniting.

The grand ballroom, with its ornate decor and majestic curved bay window, set a splendid stage for the couple’s vows, making every photograph a testament to their love story.

Preparation

Vince and his groomsmen were in high spirits, getting ready at the couple’s cozy home just north of Adelaide. By the time I arrived, the gentlemen were nearly dressed, exuding a mix of nervous anticipation and boisterous camaraderie. Capturing Vince’s final touches—adjusting his tie, a quick polish of his shoes, shared laughs with his best mates—highlighted the genuine excitement of the day ahead.

The relaxed vibe at Vince’s preparation allowed us to create some candid and heartfelt photos. It’s these quiet moments of raw emotion that really bring a wedding album to life, showing not just how a wedding looks, but how it feels.
