Monica and Troy’s Middleton Beach Huts Wedding was an absolute joy to photograph, Monica and Troy are super laid back people who had an awesome sense of humor and sense of fun that I feel really showed through with their wedding and their wedding photos! I was their wedding photographer for the entire day and I had a bunch of fun experimenting and creating some really unique imagery for them!
Preparation Photos
Monic and Troy were getting ready in separate beach huts, amongst many of their guests who were also staying at the Middleton Beach Huts. It’s a wonderful aspect of holding a Middleton Beach Huts Wedding in that you’re able to book out the entire complex just for your wedding, it’s really quite wonderful. As a result I was floating in between Monica and Troy’s huts while they both were getting ready.
Middleton Beach Huts Wedding Ceremony
There’s a large, grassy area in the center of all the beach huts where Monica and Troy’s wedding ceremony took place. It’s a perfect little spot to fit quite a few people if needed, with the beach huts as a backdrop. The sun came out quite strongly during the ceremony which made fore some beautiful weather for the rest of the day. One fun thing that Monica and Troy opted to do to be a little different on their day was that they didn’t exchange wedding rings, but rather gave each other small, heartfelt gifts. Monica was given a tiny penguin charm, while Troy was given a carved rock – the idea being that some penguins gift rocks to mates in the wild. It was really quite nifty 🙂

After the family photos, we first wandered out the gardens within the Beach Huts grounds, using the greenery and simple decor before heading down to Middleton beach. We then proceeded to be attacked by a dinosaur before running over to nearby the Victor Harbor Bluff for a few photos on the rocky beach.
Middleton Beach Huts Wedding Reception
This took a little longer than expected, so we got back to the Middleton Beach Huts a little late for the reception, but no harm done. Throughout the night we had a bit more fun taking some zany photos, including a batman symbol and a neat grungy photoshoot in an old boat. Was good fun 😀
Thanks so much to Monica and Troy for having me as your wedding photographer!
Alex and Jason travelled from Victoria in order to hold their wedding at the glorious Coriole Vineyard in Mclaren Vale. The day turned out to be a absolutely stunning, sunny day filled with loving people at a marvellous location. The Coriole Vineyard has always been a favourite of mine as the location offers a wonderful variety of locations to take photos.
Preparation
The day started with the photographing of the groom and his groomsmen. As usual I was a little early so I surprised Jason a bit as he was still lounging about in his dressing gown but that’s great as I managed to capture all aspects of the boys getting ready.
Both Jason and Alex were being prepared at a nearby bed and breakfast, but in separate bungalows. The setting provided for some beautiful light seeping through the windows. When Alex arrived from having her hair done, I diddn;t have to try too hard to produce some stunningly sentimental photos of her getting ready without getting too hands-on.
Coriole Vineyard Wedding Ceremony
Coriole has a number of different locations suitable for holding a wedding ceremony. Jason and Alex opted to make use of the large grassy area to the side of the main house, with the large pretty tree as the backdrop. Often people choose to use the vineyard vista as a backdrop, while yet others choose to hold their ceremony within the coriole courtyard. Just to the right of their ceremony was the wonderful vistas of Mclaren Vale.
It was a little unfortunate that during the ceremony the wind picked up quite a bit, causing Alex’s veil to blow out of her hair as she was walking up the aisle, and also caused a bit of trouble with the hair – but this diddn’t dampen any spirits! During their ceremony they held a wonderful crowning ceremony and shared a glass of wine to symbolise their binding in marriage.

After the group photos, we walked around the Coriole vineyard for a short while, making use of the scenery for some lovely shots. It was such a sunny day that I was really trying to use it to create a sunny, ethereal feel to the photos.
Reception
Alex and Jason made use fo the newly renovated Coriole reception area for a sit-down style wedding reception. The night was complete with heartfelt speeches and a tonne of cultural dances. It was an amazing night.
Thanks so much to Jason and Alex for having me as their wedding photographer and I hope you enjoy your photos! 🙂
