The Manor Basket Range Wedding – Maryam & Braydon

Maryam and Braydon celebrated their love on a warm and sunny day at the Manor in Basket Range. The romantic charm of this historic castle-like venue provided the perfect setting for their special day. The dappled light filtering through the trees created a whimsical atmosphere, though it presented its own challenges when capturing photos at the chapel. Despite the lighting complexities, the day unfolded beautifully, filled with joy, laughter, and heartfelt moments.

The couple’s decision to hold an earlier ceremony added a unique dynamic to the day. Guests arrived with excitement, ready to witness a love story unfold in the stunning natural surroundings of the Adelaide Hills. Maryam and Braydon’s adorable white dog added an extra dose of cuteness, happily darting around during the ceremony. It was a day to remember, filled with unforgettable moments that truly reflected their personalities and love for each other.

Preparation

Braydon and his groomsmen started the day tucked away in a cosy room at the far end of The Manor. The rustic charm of the space, paired with the camaraderie of close friends, set the tone for a relaxed yet energetic morning. While the room itself was a bit dim, the lush greenery outside provided a stunning backdrop for some pre-wedding shots of the groom and his mates. The outdoor surroundings of The Manor added a natural touch, creating images filled with light and warmth.

The groomsmen shared plenty of laughs while helping Braydon with his final touches. Ties were straightened, cufflinks adjusted, and plenty of jokes filled the air. These candid moments showed the strong bond between Braydon and his friends, adding a layer of depth to the photos. With the morning ticking away, it was time to switch gears and capture the energy of Maryam’s preparation, where excitement was building.
