Adelaide’s Ayers House Wedding – Tiana & Etienne

Tiana and Etienne’s wedding at Adelaide’s Ayers House was nothing short of spectacular. Nestled in the north of the Adelaide CBD, Ayers House is a heritage-listed mansion that exudes historical charm and elegance. This iconic venue set the perfect stage for a wedding filled with love, joy, and unforgettable moments. The grandeur of the location was a perfect match for Tiana and Etienne’s sophisticated and heartfelt celebration.

As an Adelaide wedding photographer, capturing the essence of their special day in such a remarkable setting was an absolute dream. The day began with the groom and his entourage, followed by the bride’s preparations, leading to a ceremony filled with emotional vows, and concluded with a reception that was nothing short of a joyous festivity.

Preparation

The day started at Etienne’s parent’s, where excitement was palpable. His groomsmen and parents gathered in a beautiful upper-story room filled with natural light streaming through a delightful window. This serene setting provided the perfect backdrop for capturing the moments of camaraderie as the boys helped each other get ready. With Mum and Dad watching on and helping out with pride, there were countless candid moments that showcased the bond and love within the family.

Etienne’s preparation was not just about getting dressed; it was a celebration of friendships and family ties. After the indoor shots, we took a short walk to a nearby park lined with neat rows of olive trees. This outdoor session allowed for some relaxed and natural photos of Etienne with his groomsmen, adding a touch of greenery and elegance to the album.
