Elevating memories with canvas prints 

There’s something uniquely special about tangible representations of your memories. This is where canvas prints shine as the ideal medium for bringing the essence of your wedding day into your everyday life. The texture and depth of canvas prints add a layer of sophistication and emotion to photographs, making them more than just images – they become pieces of art that tell a story. 

Choosing the right company to entrust with your memories is crucial; canvas prints from a reputable provider can make all the difference. These prints’ durability, quality, and visual appeal make them a perfect choice for couples looking to immortalize their wedding day. They serve as a daily reminder of the love and commitment shared on that day, transforming any space into a personal gallery of cherished moments.

Creating a wedding memory wall 

Creating a wedding memory wall is a meaningful project that beautifies your home while keeping the memories of your special day alive. It’s a testament to your love story and a constant reminder of the joy and commitment that marked the beginning of your journey together.  

You can get this experience by creating a wedding memory wall.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to creating your wedding memory wall: 

  

  • Select your favorite wedding photos 

Start by choosing a photo selection that best captures your day’s essence. Include a mix of formal portraits, candid moments, detailed shots, and any other images that evoke strong emotions or memories. Consider the story you want your memory wall to tell and select photos that contribute to this narrative. 

  

  • Choose the right frames or canvas prints 

Decide whether you want to use traditional frames or canvas prints. Canvas prints give your photos an artistic, elevated feel, making them stand out as art pieces. If you prefer a more classic look, elegant frames in a uniform or varied style can also beautifully showcase your memories. Consider the room’s decor where the memory wall will be displayed to ensure your choices complement the space. 

  

  • Plan your layout 

Lay your framed photos or canvas prints on the floor to experiment with different arrangements. You can opt for a symmetrical layout or an eclectic gallery wall. Consider incorporating wedding memorabilia, like invitations or dried flowers, to add variety and texture. Take a photo of your final layout to reference when you start hanging. 

  

  • Prepare your wall 

Choose a wall that has enough space to accommodate your layout. If you’re renting or concerned about damaging the wall, consider using adhesive hooks or strips designed for hanging pictures. 

  

  • Hang your photos 

Start with the most significant piece or the central photo and work your way out. If you’re using nails or picture hooks, ensure they’re securely fastened to the wall and can support the weight of your frames or canvas prints. 

  

  • Add personal touches 

You can add small, personal touches or adjustments to perfect your display. Consider adding ambient lighting with picture or string lights to highlight your wall and make it a focal point in the room. 

  

While it serves as a reminder of your big day, your wedding memory wall doesn’t have to be a static display. Instead, you can make it a living part of your home. Feel free to update it with new memories or swap out photos as you see fit.

Incorporate your wedding memories into daily life 

With inspiration and creativity, you can keep the joy and love of your special day alive in your heart and home. Here are several creative ways to weave those precious memories into the fabric of your everyday life: 

  

  • Use wedding photos as daily reminders: Set your wedding photo as wallpaper on your computer, tablet, or smartphone. You’ll get a little reminder of your special day each time you use your device. 
  • Decorate your home with wedding memorabilia: Beyond a wedding memory wall, consider placing framed photos or canvas prints around your home, such as on nightstands, desks, and shelves. 
  • Custom decor items: Turn your wedding photos into custom items like pillows, blankets, or even coasters. These items can be used throughout your home as subtle reminders of your love. 
  • Wear or use wedding-related items regularly: Wear a piece of jewelry or an accessory from your wedding day, such as earrings, a watch, or cufflinks, for special occasions or even as part of your daily outfit. 

 

Incorporating your wedding memories into daily life helps keep the love and excitement of that special day at the forefront of your mind, enriching your everyday experiences with your partner. 

Wedding memories are eternal. By capturing these moments through photography, transforming them into canvas prints, and finding creative ways to incorporate them into your life, you ensure that the essence of your special day is never forgotten. These mementos become a treasure trove of emotions, ready to be cherished forever.

Old Noarlunga Winery Wedding – Mellora & Dan

Southern Adelaide was showing off with perfect weather—sunny skies and just a hint of a breeze, ideal for capturing Mellora and Dan’s magnificent wedding day. Held at the iconic St Francis Winery, the setting couldn’t have been more picturesque for this joyful occasion.

Old Noarlunga, with its rustic charm and sweeping vineyard views, provided the perfect backdrop. As a wedding photographer, capturing the essence of such a unique venue like St Francis Winery brings a certain thrill. Every corner offers a new perspective, a new story to tell, making each photo a treasure trove of memories.

Mellora’s Preparation

The day kicked off in the St Francis bridal suite, bustling with excitement. Mellora, alongside her bridesmaids and her mother, was a vision of calm and happiness. The suite was filled with laughter and playful banter as they got ready. The air was light, charged with anticipation and the sweet sound of giggling echoed as they shared moments of joy while prepping for the big day.

Capturing these intimate moments is always special. The interaction, the detailed shots of the wedding dress, shoes, and jewelry, all contribute to the narrative of the day. Mellora’s radiant smile as she slipped into her gown was a highlight, beautifully reflecting the bond and warmth shared with her loved ones.

The excitement peaked during the first looks. Mellora and her father shared a heartfelt moment under the famed weeping willows at St Francis Winery. This was one of those instances where you could genuinely feel the love and pride radiating from her dad. Meanwhile, Dan made his grand entrance in a giant Hummer, wine bottle in hand, embodying the spirit of celebration.

The laughter and surprise captured in those photos are some of my favorites. It’s moments like these that add a personal touch to the wedding album, making it uniquely theirs.

Pre Ceremony Glamour Photos

Before the ceremony, we explored the St Francis grounds for some glamour shots. The rustic stonework of the winery, combined with the natural light filtering through the branches, created an ethereal setting. Mellora and Dan were naturals in front of the camera, their love and excitement palpable, making every photo vibrant with emotion.

These sessions are always an adventure, discovering new angles and using the natural beauty of Old Noarlunga to enhance the romantic feel of the day. The couple’s easy-going nature allowed us to experiment with different poses and settings, resulting in stunning, magazine-worthy photographs.

Old Noarlunga Winery Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony itself was a blend of elegance and quirky moments. Set against the backdrop of the winery’s old stone buildings, the scene was picturesque. As Mellora walked down the aisle, the air was thick with anticipation. The ceremony was filled with laughter, notably when Mellora’s mum received a stuffed goat as a ‘dowry’—a hilarious family inside joke that had everyone in stitches.

The handfasting ritual, where Mellora and Dan bound their hands together as a symbol of their union, was particularly moving. It was a beautiful testament to their commitment, sealed with a heartfelt kiss, which I captured in a series of tender, emotive shots.

More Glamour Photos

Post-ceremony, we took advantage of the golden hour, venturing a short distance from the venue for more glamour photos. This part of the day allows for some relaxed, yet striking captures. With the soft, fading light creating a golden glow around them, Mellora and Dan looked utterly in love, completely at ease as they strolled through the vineyards.

These moments are precious; they reflect a pause in the hustle of the day, giving the couple a chance to soak in their newlywed status while I document these first moments of their journey together.

The reception at St Francis Winery was nothing short of spectacular. With speeches that ranged from touching to uproariously funny, and a dance floor that was never empty, the atmosphere was electric. Mellora and Dan’s choreographed dance was a highlight, a perfect blend of elegance and fun that kept everyone cheering.

As the night progressed, the dance floor remained the center of action, with guests dancing away under the twinkling lights. This lively part of the evening provided endless opportunities for candid shots, capturing the joy and vibrancy of the celebration.

Throughout the evening, our newly introduced selfbooth service added a unique twist, allowing guests to upload photos via a QR code. Although there were some hiccups, Mellora and Dan’s openness to incorporate this new technology into their special day was greatly appreciated. It was an invaluable learning experience, and thanks to their feedback, the selfbooth service is now fully operational and ready to enhance future celebrations. 🙂

Mellora and Dan’s wedding at Old Noarlunga Winery was a remarkable event, and being their wedding photographer was an absolute honor. From the serene preparations to the lively reception at St Francis Winery, every moment was filled with laughter, love, and unforgettable memories. Here’s to many more years of happiness for the lovely couple!

Our list of Eco-Friendly Gift Ideas for Your Wedding

1. Seed Packets

Promote eco-friendly practices with your guests by giving them seeds to plant. You can give them seeds that coordinate with your wedding theme or flowers and include a cute little saying or note. Providing seed packets promotes contributing to the environment with planting. 

Plus, they will have a stunning plant or flowers when it is all said or done. 

2. Reusable Customized Merchandise

Commemorate this exciting moment for all of your guests with a reusable tote bag or some other print on demand merch. To keep this eco-friendly, you need to choose merchandise that is reusable and sustainable. A tote bag is a great choice, but you can find plenty of options and customize them to match your big day.

3. Reusable Water Bottles

Everybody loves a nice water bottle. Reusable water bottles promote the reduction of plastic use and waste. They can also be monogrammed or customized to display something that will be a reminder of your wedding. Choose sustainable materials and personalize those to make nice gifts. 

4. Beeswax Products

Using products that incorporate beeswax are a great idea. Beeswax has tons of great benefits that anyone can enjoy. Whether you do something like a candle or moisturizers and lip balms, this is a great choice. Some people might even choose to give beeswax wraps that can reduce the use of plastic with a biodegradable alternative. 

Gifts

5. Succulents 

Succulents would make an absolutely great gift. And one cool thing about these is you can double them as décor and favors for your wedding guests. Succulents are great plants that are easy to care for and eco-friendly. They promote healthy air and will work for just about any space you can think of. 

Guest gift

6. Fair Trade Goodness

If you want something sweet or tasty, consider gifting items that are sourced through fair trade practices. The best options for this are chocolates and coffee, in which the fair trade industry has become quite prominent. Fair trade supports sustainable practices and environmental responsibility, making these items a great choice for gifts. Who doesn’t love chocolate, right? 

Guest gift

7. Homemade Jams or Honey

Supply your guests with a tasty treat that is homemade with love. Whether you make your own jam or honey or you source these from a local provider, it’s a great option. These eco-friendly wedding favors are best if you put them in reusable jars. You can always attach a personal label or tag to go with the wedding.

8. Plantable Thank You Cards

Another great idea is to skip the initial gift and use plantable thank you cards. There are both stationery and cards that you can purchase where the materials are plantable. The paper or card is basically embedded with seeds. Your guests just need to plant it in the ground and watch it bloom. Don’t forget to make sure they know it can be planted! 

When those wild flowers bloom, they can be reminded of your wedding and your love.

9. Herb Growing Kits

Encourage your guests to grow their own herbs and put their green thumbs to use. While not every guest will be successful, many will appreciate you providing them with the tools to give it a try. A kit like this will come with everything they need to grow a specific herb. The kit typically includes pots, seeds, soil, and instructions. 

10. Upcycled Glassware

Perhaps at your wedding, you can serve your guests with upcycled glassware. This would be an awesome way to have a unique attribute, but it’s also something you can pleasure your guests with as they leave. Enjoy a toast in these eco-friendly tumblers and tell your guests to take theirs home when they go.

11. Reusable Straws

Encourage your guests to take a step towards eco-friendly practices with a reusable straw. Obviously, you will want a way to make these stand out. You can use a case that has a monogram or saying from your wedding. Provide alternatives such as stainless steel, bamboo, or silicone that your guests can keep to use for the foreseeable future. 

12. Charitable Donations

Finally, you could simply make a charitable donation on behalf of your guests. If you choose to go this route, be sure to let them know you’ve done so. When you make the donation, credit to guests of your wedding specifically. This is a sweet way to contribute to a special cause and let your guests know their impact towards that cause as well.

Sunnybrae’s The Landing Wedding – Serena & Seamus

Capturing Serena and Seamus’s wedding at the picturesque Sunnybrae Estate was a privilege that comes with the joy of being an Adelaide Wedding Photographer. Set against the charming backdrop of The Landing, their day unfolded under the brilliant March sun, a perfect setting for such a splendid occasion. From the light filtering through the leaves to the smiles of the guests, every detail at Sunnybrae was a photographer’s dream.

Serena, in her stunning gown, and Seamus, dapper in his suit, radiated happiness. The warmth of the day was matched only by the warmth in their eyes. As an observer and documenter, I marveled at the seamless blend of elegance and emotion that The Landing Wedding offered—a dream venue for any couple, but especially magical for these two lovebirds.

Preparation

The day began in a bustling household, buzzing with the excitement of Serena and her bridal party getting ready. The air was filled with laughter and chatter, punctuated by the occasional bark from their adorable little dog, who seemed to believe he was the star of the show. As I clicked away, capturing candid moments, it was clear that the bond between Serena and her bridesmaids was something truly special. Their interactions were filled with genuine affection and a touch of playful mischief.

Meanwhile, Seamus and his groomsmen were not far behind in spirits. I managed to snap some striking photos of them looking sharp and relaxed, their camaraderie palpable in the air. The anticipation was building, everyone eagerly waiting to head to the stunning Sunnybrae Estate, where the couple would exchange their vows.

Sunnybrae’s The Landing Wedding Ceremony

Serena and Seamus’ the Landing wedding ceremony was nothing short of breathtaking. Serena and Seamus stood under a beautifully crafted wooden arbour, which framed them perfectly as they began their new life together. The expansive grassy area was filled with guests who, despite the heat and sun, were fixated on the couple. Umbrellas dotted the scene, providing some respite from the sun, creating a colorful canopy over the assembled friends and family.

The emotional weight of the ceremony was palpable as Serena and Seamus exchanged vows that were heartfelt and stirring. The signing of the marriage certificate under the clear blue sky was a symbol of their unbreakable bond. Post-vows, the couple and their guests retreated to a shaded area, where I captured family photos—a beautiful testament to the families joining as one.

Glamour photos around The Landing

After the ceremony, we took advantage of The Landing’s stunning vistas for some glamour shots. The natural light was perfect, enhancing the romantic atmosphere of the day. The couple’s easygoing nature made the photo session a breeze, with laughter serving as the soundtrack. Even a playful smoke bomb photo with the bridal party added a whimsical touch to the collection, leaving everyone in high spirits.

The backdrop of The Landing with its rustic charm and serene landscapes provided endless opportunities for gorgeous photos. The light, the setting, and the couple were in perfect harmony, creating moments that they, and their families, will cherish forever.

Crozier Street Glamour Photos

Our next stop was Crozier Street, a locale with a completely different vibe. Known for its old industrial charm, it offered a striking contrast to the sunny landscapes of Sunnybrae. Seamus and Serena, desiring a slightly darker aesthetic for some of their wedding photos, found Crozier Street to be the perfect setting. The gritty textures and moody backdrops lent an edgy romance to the photos, capturing the couple’s unique style and the depth of their bond.

Navigating through the historic architecture, every turn and corner presented a new opportunity for a stunning shot. This part of Port Adelaide, with its rich history and distinctive character, added a layer of intrigue and sophistication to their wedding album.

Continuing our photographic journey, we headed to North Terrace, another iconic location known for its stunning architecture. The grand buildings and sophisticated ambience of North Terrace provided a majestic backdrop. Serena and Seamus walked among the historic sites, their love story intertwined with the elegance of Adelaide’s architectural heritage.

Each photo captured here not only highlighted their love but also the grandeur of Adelaide itself. It was a photographer’s delight to frame the intimate moments against such imposing structures, creating a beautiful juxtaposition of the personal and the monumental.

Duke of Brunswick Wedding Reception

Finally, the day capped off at the Duke of Brunswick, where laughter, good food, and heartfelt speeches filled the evening. The reception was a beautiful celebration of family and friends coming together from across the globe. The Duke, with its cozy and inviting atmosphere, was the perfect place for such a gathering.

Throughout the night, I captured candid moments of joy, tears during the speeches, and the wild dance moves that followed. The Duke of Brunswick provided a relaxed yet festive environment, rounding off what was a truly remarkable day.

Documenting Serena and Seamus’s The Landing wedding was an unforgettable experience. The joy, the scenery, and the sheer magic of the day were a testament to their love and the perfect planning that went into every detail. As an Adelaide Wedding Photographer, capturing such genuine moments of happiness and celebration is what makes my work so rewarding. Each frame from the day not only tells a story but also captures the essence of a beautiful beginning.

Looking back, I am grateful to have been part of such a splendid day, and I’m excited for the couple to relive these moments through their photos. If you’re planning your wedding in Adelaide and are looking for a photographer who can capture your day with the same love, care, and attention to detail, feel free to reach out.

Chesser Street Office Wedding – Rachele & Jacob

Rachele and Jacob’s wedding day was nothing short of magical, under the golden Adelaide sun. Their choice for a Chesser Street Office Wedding spoke volumes of their desire for an intimate yet simple celebration. Starting the day at the break of dawn, we navigated through Adelaide’s serene morning, the Botanic Gardens awaiting us with open arms. Despite the minor hiccup of Womad road closures, the morning unfolded into a picturesque beginning of Rachele and Jacob’s forever.

The Adelaide Botanic Gardens, with its lush landscapes and tranquil ambiance, was the perfect backdrop for their love to shine. I found myself flipping the script on my usual photography tactics, thanks to the sun playing hide and seek on the opposite side of the sky. It was a delightful challenge, pushing me to capture the essence of their love in a light, unlike anything I’ve experienced before.

Botanic Gardens Glamour shoot

As we meandered through the enchanting pathways of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, the connection between Rachele and Jacob was palpable. The early rays of sunlight filtered through the trees, casting a heavenly glow over the couple. Their laughter and tender exchanges made every click of the camera a testament to their bond. The gardens, in all their splendor, were more than just a setting; they were a witness to the beginning of a beautiful journey.

The vibrant greens and the serene atmosphere of the gardens provided a stunning contrast to the joy and warmth emanating from Rachele and Jacob. Each photo captured was a piece of their story, a moment frozen in time. The challenge of the unusual sunlight only added to the uniqueness of the shoot, creating images that were as extraordinary as the couple themselves.

North Terrace Glamour Shoot

From the natural beauty of the gardens, we transitioned to the architectural elegance along North Terrace. Bonython Hall’s grandeur and the historic charm of the old police barracks behind the Adelaide Museum provided a majestic backdrop. The contrast between the soft, romantic moments shared by Rachele and Jacob and the imposing structures was visually striking. It was as if their love story was being told through time, with each building narrating a different chapter.

This part of the day was a whirlwind of laughter and exploration, capturing the essence of Adelaide’s rich history and the couple’s adventurous spirits. The excitement of the day caught up with us, and thinking the ceremony time was upon us, we hastened our steps, we diddnt need to as we had misread the time – but it did give us a moment in the form of a break at a nearby cafe, sipping drinks and basking in the anticipation of the ceremony.

Chesser Street Office Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony at the registry office on Chesser Street was a heartwarming celebration of Rachele and Jacob’s love. Despite its brevity, the ceremony was filled with joy, laughter, and an abundance of love. The informal banter and jokes shared among those present made the occasion feel even more special. It was a reminder that at the heart of weddings, beyond the rituals and ceremonies, is the joy of two people coming together.

Surrounded by their closest friends and family, the couple exchanged vows in a room brimming with happiness. The simplicity of the setting did nothing to dim the sparkle in Rachele and Jacob’s eyes. It was a testament to the fact that love, in its purest form, needs no embellishment.

Harry’s Bar After Party

The celebration continued at Harry’s Bar, where the balcony offered the perfect spot for a lunchtime reception. The casual setting was a reflection of Rachele and Jacob’s easygoing nature, preferring laughter and good company over formality. The afternoon was spent indulging in delicious food, clinking glasses to the future, and sharing stories. The balcony, with its view of Adelaide, felt like a private sanctuary where memories were being woven into the fabric of the city.

As the wedding photographer privileged to capture these moments, I was reminded of the beauty that comes from simplicity. The joy of Rachele and Jacob’s wedding day, set against the backdrop of Adelaide’s diverse landscapes, from the Botanic Gardens to the architectural wonders along North Terrace, and culminating in the relaxed atmosphere of Harry’s Bar, was a celebration of love in its most genuine form. It was an honor to document their journey, a tale of love that Adelaide will remember for years to come.
