The Manor Wedding -Tracey & Kaeden

Tracey and Kaeden’s wedding at The Manor Basket Range was nothing short of enchanting. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Adelaide Hills, their special day was filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of magic. It was a delightful midweek day in April, where the grounds were painted with the rich, warm hues of autumn. The Manor’s historic charm and stunning gardens provided the perfect setting for this unforgettable celebration of love.

We arrived a bit earlier than planned, even though we were initially asked to start at the ceremony. The opportunity to capture some pre-ceremony moments with Tracey and her bridal party was too good to pass up. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and anticipation as Tracey and her closest friends prepared for the big day. The bridal suite was a flurry of activity, with hair, makeup, and laughter filling the air. Tracey’s radiant smile and the twinkle in her eyes spoke volumes about her happiness.

Pre-Ceremony

The pre-ceremony moments are always a favorite to capture. There’s something truly special about the bride and her bridesmaids sharing these last few hours before the wedding. Tracey’s bridal party was a lively bunch, their joy infectious as they helped her into her exquisite gown. The dress, a long lacey affair, glistened in the soft light of the room. It was a beautiful sight to behold, with delicate details that made it a masterpiece.

Tracey’s mother and bridesmaids couldn’t hold back their tears as they saw her fully dressed for the first time. These intimate, emotional moments are what make wedding photography so rewarding! We managed to top things off with involving Dad for a bit for a lovely first look!

The Manor Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony took place in front of The Manor’s charming little chapel, a picturesque spot that seems straight out of a fairy tale. As the guests settled into their seats, an air of anticipation filled the venue. Kaeden stood at the altar, his excitement palpable. The moment he saw Tracey approach, his joy was unmistakable. He was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet, his grin wide enough to rival any Dr. Seuss character.

Tracey walked down the aisle with grace and poise, her dress shimmering in the sunlight. The couple’s heartfelt vows were a highlight, filled with emotion and sincerity. Readings from their parents added a personal touch to the ceremony, making it all the more meaningful. The look of love and devotion in Tracey and Kaeden’s eyes was enough to bring tears to many of the guests’ eyes. It was a beautiful, moving ceremony that perfectly reflected their love story.

Meanwhile accross the hallway, Ebonnie’s preparations unfolded. Surrounded by her bridesmaids and an adorable, curious flower girl, the air was filled with giggles and the rustle of dresses. The flower girl’s eagerness to explore and taste everything in sight added a delightful, candid element to the morning. But the heartwarming moment of the morning was undoubtedly Ebonnie’s first look with her father. The emotions captured in those photos speak volumes about the love and bonds in this family.

Wedding at The Manor Basket Range

The ceremony, held in front of the Manor’s quaint chapel, was a picturesque scene. As the afternoon sun filtered through the trees, it cast a magical light over the couple. The vows were heartfelt, and the love between Ebonnie and Kade was evident in every glance and smile. A fun twist was when we convinced the celebrant to lie down in front of the signing table for a quirky photo, adding a touch of humor to the solemnity.

The Manor Basket Range, with its stone architecture and sprawling gardens, was the perfect setting for this beautiful day. As a wedding photographer, it’s always exciting to work in such a visually stunning location. The castle-like venue provided a romantic and elegant backdrop, enhancing the beauty of every photo.

Reception

The reception was a dazzling affair. Ebonnie and Kade made a grand entrance amidst fireworks, setting the tone for an evening of celebration. Their first dance, also accompanied by fireworks and dry ice, was a mesmerizing spectacle. The love and connection between them were palpable, and as their photographer, I felt honoured to capture these intimate moments.

As the evening progressed, we seized the opportunity to step outside at sunset for a few more photos. The softer light was perfect, eliminating the harsh shadows and creating a romantic ambiance. Later, we ventured out again, this time with smoke and lights for some dramatic nighttime shots. These images, with their unique blend of light and shadow, added an edgy, artistic dimension to their wedding album.
