The Manor Wedding -Tracey & Kaeden

Tracey and Kaeden’s wedding at The Manor Basket Range was nothing short of enchanting. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Adelaide Hills, their special day was filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of magic. It was a delightful midweek day in April, where the grounds were painted with the rich, warm hues of autumn. The Manor’s historic charm and stunning gardens provided the perfect setting for this unforgettable celebration of love.

We arrived a bit earlier than planned, even though we were initially asked to start at the ceremony. The opportunity to capture some pre-ceremony moments with Tracey and her bridal party was too good to pass up. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and anticipation as Tracey and her closest friends prepared for the big day. The bridal suite was a flurry of activity, with hair, makeup, and laughter filling the air. Tracey’s radiant smile and the twinkle in her eyes spoke volumes about her happiness.

Pre-Ceremony

The pre-ceremony moments are always a favorite to capture. There’s something truly special about the bride and her bridesmaids sharing these last few hours before the wedding. Tracey’s bridal party was a lively bunch, their joy infectious as they helped her into her exquisite gown. The dress, a long lacey affair, glistened in the soft light of the room. It was a beautiful sight to behold, with delicate details that made it a masterpiece.

Tracey’s mother and bridesmaids couldn’t hold back their tears as they saw her fully dressed for the first time. These intimate, emotional moments are what make wedding photography so rewarding! We managed to top things off with involving Dad for a bit for a lovely first look!

The Manor Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony took place in front of The Manor’s charming little chapel, a picturesque spot that seems straight out of a fairy tale. As the guests settled into their seats, an air of anticipation filled the venue. Kaeden stood at the altar, his excitement palpable. The moment he saw Tracey approach, his joy was unmistakable. He was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet, his grin wide enough to rival any Dr. Seuss character.

Tracey walked down the aisle with grace and poise, her dress shimmering in the sunlight. The couple’s heartfelt vows were a highlight, filled with emotion and sincerity. Readings from their parents added a personal touch to the ceremony, making it all the more meaningful. The look of love and devotion in Tracey and Kaeden’s eyes was enough to bring tears to many of the guests’ eyes. It was a beautiful, moving ceremony that perfectly reflected their love story.

Glamour Photos

After the ceremony, we ventured into The Manor’s lush gardens for the glamour photos. The autumn light filtering through the leaves created a magical atmosphere, perfect for capturing the newlyweds in all their glory. The gardens provided a stunning backdrop, with vibrant colors and charming pathways that added a touch of romance to each shot. Tracey and Kaeden were naturals in front of the camera, their love and happiness shining through in every frame.

We also took advantage of The Manor’s iconic castle keep, using it as a backdrop both during the daylight and at night. The dramatic architecture and the play of light and shadow created some truly breathtaking images. As the sun set and the stars came out, the castle keep took on a whole new level of enchantment. The night shots, with the couple silhouetted against the illuminated keep, were nothing short of spectacular. These photos will undoubtedly be cherished for years to come.
