GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding – Nadia & Joy

Nadia and Joy held their duel ceremony wedding on a Tuesday at the beginning of December – which might seem out of the ordinary but it worked out beautifully for holding a GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding!

Being a Tuesday meant that the lower Pulpshed wedding venue wasn’t being used by another wedding so we got to use both spots for as many photos as we wanted. Also being a lunch time wedding, Nadia and Joy got to make the most of everything the Glen Ewin Estate has to offer!

Baha’i Wedding Ceremony

At the beginning of the day, Nadia and Joy held a religious Baha’i wedding ceremony from the comfort of their own home while making use of my livestream service which allowed a multitude of guests from around the world to tune in all day.

As is traditional with Baha’i wedding ceremonies, the service was a simple affair, with readings from family and friends and a signing of marriage documents over the household’s dining table after which I whisked myself off to GlenEwin Estate to set up the photobooth for their lunchtime reception and video equipment to record their GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding Ceremony.

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding Ceremony

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding ceremonies usually take place on a grassy area overlooking a man made pond in front of the main reception area just to the left of the entrance to the Estate. The space is surrounded on all sides by earth, greenery and makes for an intimate space for any wedding ceremony.

Nadia and Joy’s legal ceremony had already taken place during their Baha’i ceremony, so they had no need to sign any documents after this ceremony, but they still made the most of the moment by reciting heartfelt vows to one another and had a bit of fun with inserting fun little caveats to each other’s ‘i do’s’.

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding Reception

Directly after their second ceremony, we took a few family group shots and made use of some of the greenery around for some glamour shots before heading in for their lunchtime GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse wedding reception.

Again, the reception was a lovely, intimate, simple affair with family and friends, while guests who could not attend recording video messages for the bride and groom which was played on the large screen. During the rest of the reception the whole day was played back using the footage I had taken via my livestream!

Glamour Photos

As Nadia and Joy’s reception wrapped up after lunch, there was still ample time for us to run about the entirety of the Glen Ewin Estate to make use of some of the amazing spots scattered about for some more glamour photos – which was exactly what we did!

It was so liberating to have a wedding on a Tuesday as there were absolutely nobody else about dictating when and where we could go!

Utopia @ Waterfall Gully Wedding Videography

As an Adelaide based wedding videographer, there is no better wedding venue than Waterfall Gully for producing some incredible scenes. I also love being a photographer here, but this post is about my videography! 😀

The whole setting is something straight out of a Tolkein story, and surprisingly is still one of the best kept secrets in all of Adelaide! Being the capital of the driest state in the driest country in the world, Adelaide isnt overly famed for having waterfalls all over the place, but the multiple falls in Waterfall Gully and around Moriolta makes for a stunning oasis in what is otherwise quite a dry location.

Utopia @ Waterfall Gully is the usual choice for wedding receptions when hosting a Waterfall Gully wedding. It’s old world charm and intimate decor both inside and out makes for a stunning backdrop for any wedding. The only issue being that it’s not the largest venue, which means larger weddings might not fit – but it’s still an incredible sight when decked out for a wedding.

Most wedding ceremonies that occur in waterfall gully take place on a small patch of grass nearby a stone gazebo at the foot of the hill that the Utopia chalet is perched. It’a a spot that is always surrounded by foliage no matter what time of year it is, and provides ample shade for guests if it’s a hot summer day.

Examples of Waterfall Gully Wedding Videography

As I cover more weddings at Waterfall Gully as a wedding videographer, I’ll be updating this list of highlight videos I’ve put together for my bridal couples!

Tracy & Jarred

The day’s weather was perfect for such a stunning venue, and the people involved made the day such a wonderful experience!

Their day began as it generally does with preparation at Jarred and his groomsmen place of preparation, a characterful house with some lovely moody light – then headed to the city for a hotel room where Tracy and her bridesmaids were being prepared. The hotel made for some neat shots in the lobby!

Tracy and Jarred opted to hold their ceremony facing away from the main waterfall on the gassy ceremony location, with Tracy making the large trek down the hill as a grand entrance rather than taking the easy route from the car park.

The best time of day for waterfall gully wedding videography is towards the end of the day, which was perfect as the majority of the time we spent taking photos and videos was quite late int he day, being announced at Utopia a little later than usual.

Tom & Jana

Tom and Jana held their wedding ceremony with the hill behind the grassy ceremony area allowing for the backdrop for their photos and video being the lovely green foliage that is on display at this time of year.

Their day was full of fun and full of friends and their cars made for a great center piece for their entire day! One of the main reasons why Tom and Jana chose me for their waterfall gully wedding videography was my prowess with the drone! The cars certainly looked great from the air – that and it’s always a lot of fun flying towards the main waterfall with the incredible scene of the bride and groom in front of it.
