Belair Train Station Engagement shoot – Melody & Chris

Melody and Chris had an unforgettable engagement shoot at the picturesque Belair Train Station, nestled in the heart of the mesmerizing Adelaide Hills. With the sun just starting to rise, casting a golden glow on everything it touched, the couple was ready to capture their love story in the most dreamy and picturesque way possible.

Belair Train Station Engagement shoot

Picture this: a crisp, golden sunrise casting its magic over the serene Adelaide Hills, and a couple so in love, they couldn’t stop beaming! Melody and Chris were all set to capture their love story in the most dreamy and picturesque way possible. I had suggested either the soft, romantic light just before sunset or the breathtaking glow of sunrise, and to my delight, Melody chose the latter! And let me tell you, it was the perfect decision!

As the first rays of the sun painted the sky in shades of pink and orange, we found ourselves at the Belair Train Station, and the scene was straight out of a fairytale! There was a group of passionate volunteers gathering to restore a piece of history, and their presence added a touch of rustic charm to the backdrop. We couldn’t resist taking a few shots in front of the station, with the old-world architecture adding a vintage vibe to the photos.

Belair National Park

But wait, the adventure didn’t stop there! Just a stone’s throw away from the station lies the enchanting Belair National Park, and it’s a little-known hidden gem entrance to the national park that I love heading into. The misty morning in the park created an almost ethereal atmosphere, with sunlight filtering through the majestic gum trees. It felt like stepping into a magical wonderland!

Amongst the gum trees, Melody and Chris shared heartfelt moments, their love shining brighter than the sun itself. The beauty of nature seemed to mirror their connection, and every snapshot we took was filled with pure joy and affection. With each click of the camera, their love story unfolded beautifully, leaving us all in awe.

Unexpected Adventures

As we were wrapping up our shoot and bidding farewell to the restoration volunteers, one of them extended a warm invitation to explore the old train station’s control room. And that was quite exciting! The control room was like a time machine, filled with fascinating knobs and levers, preserving the heritage of the railways.

As the shoot came to a close, Melody and Chris were radiant with happiness. Their engagement shoot at the Belair Train Station and Belair National Park had been an adventure of love, laughter, and unexpected surprises. The couple’s decision to embrace the sunrise light had paid off big time, as the photos radiated with a golden glow that matched their love-filled spirits.

Love is a beautiful journey, and this engagement shoot was a perfect reminder of that. It’s about finding joy in the little things, the unexpected moments, and the unbreakable bond that two souls share. Melody and Chris had embarked on a wonderful journey together, and we were lucky enough to capture a glimpse of their everlasting love.

Good luck to Melody and Chris for their marriage in Hong Kong! and thankyou for having me shoot your Belair Train Station Engagement shoot! I’d me more than willing to put my hand up and come along as your destination wedding photographer! Just let me know and I’ll be there!

The day began with Adam and his groomsmen getting ready in their room at the wonderful Mt Lofty House, surrounded by breathtaking views of the Adelaide Hills. Both the groomsmen and the bridal party were being perpared along the same wing of the hotel, so we made the use of the situation by sticking the drone up for a quick photo of the two groups during their preparation!

The excitement was palpable as the groomsmen made sure Adam looked his absolute best, ensuring every tie was perfectly straight and every hair was in place.

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Photography – Some Thoughts

As someone who knows every nook and cranny of this beautiful location, I am well-equipped to capture your special day with creativity and passion! However I cannot be in two places at once! So here are some tips and tricks I’ve developed for shooting some Manor Basket Range wedding photography.

What makes the Manor So Special?

Situated just a short 30-minute drive from the bustling CBD, The Manor Basket Range is a true escape from the city and an idyllic location to revel in the finest hospitality the region has to offer for a myriad of events. Nestled amidst the rolling hills, adorned with picturesque apple and cherry orchards in the valleys, this venue is truly a sight to behold simply because it’s a freaking Castle! Certainly not something you’d expect to find in this corner of the world.

As a photographer, I love exploring the venue and finding unique angles and perspectives to capture the stunning details that make The Manor Basket Range so special.

Ok, so it’s a castle, so will all our photos be medieval?

One of my favorite things about Manor Basket Range wedding photography is how the venue changes with the seasons. Whether it’s the colorful leaves in autumn, the blooming flowers in spring, or the cozy fireplace in winter, every season brings its own charm and beauty to the venue. It provides endless opportunities for stunning and unique wedding photos that truly capture the essence of the couple’s special day.

While much of the backdrops available on the grounds has a heavy dose of medieval stone work and one might be forgiven for thinking there is a knight around every corner – there are spots both on the ground, or nearby where you might think you’re in the middle of a dense rainforest, near a river or in the middle of a field.

A fake castle in the Adelaide Hills? Sounds cheesy..

The Manor Basket Range is a haven for couples who embrace the unconventional and dare to be different on their wedding day. These couples appreciate the traditions of a wedding ceremony but also yearn to infuse their own personality and style into every aspect of their special day. They are not afraid to break away from the norm and add their own unique twist, making their wedding a true reflection of their individuality.

Working with such couples is an absolute joy for me, as I get to witness their creativity and adventurous spirit come to life in their wedding photos. From capturing their personalized details and creative decorations to documenting their heartfelt moments and candid emotions, I strive to tell their love story in the most authentic way possible.

The Manor Basket Range provides the perfect canvas for these couples to create their dream wedding, with its unconventional and charming elements that lend themselves beautifully to creative photography. As their wedding photographer, I am honored to be a part of their journey, capturing their love and uniqueness in every shot. If you are a couple who appreciates the unconventional and desires a wedding photographer who understands your vision, The Manor Basket Range is the perfect venue for you

I often bump into other unconventional wedding celebrants at a Manor Basket Range wedding too – like Bob Mcgilchrist or Deborah Lilley who both have a bit of a tendancy to jump at the chance to get dressed up and really gel into the vibe of whatever it is you’re planning for your day!

These couples are not afraid to go against the grain and do something different, such as a grand entrance on a magic carpet into their reception, or perhaps riding inflatable horses? They appreciate the traditions of a wedding ceremony but desire to break away from the ordinary with their venue choice and styling.

Confetti entrance

In my experience, couples who tie the knot at The Manor Basket Range exude a relaxed, easy-going vibe that perfectly aligns with my natural wedding photography style. It’s a pleasure to capture their carefree and fun-loving personalities, and I believe my own personality meshes seamlessly with theirs. Together, we create unforgettable memories that reflect their unique love story in the most authentic way.

Ok Fantastic! Tell me more!

The best thing about wedding photography here, and running about taking photos is that there are so many spots not only on site, but also close by.

There are plenty of ‘money shots’ around the grounds, like the castle keep in the background of the couple on the driveway, the couple at the gates, and the chapel poking through the greenery of the little garden.

But there are also places around the place that are almost ‘hidden’ which makes The Manor Basket Range wedding photography that much more fun!

I hope you enjoyed reading about why I absolutely love taking Manor Basket Range wedding photography! If you’re planning your wedding at this amazing location, or anywhere else in Adelaide or Australia, I’d be stoked to chat with you about being your wedding photographer.

Old Woodhouse Manor Wedding – Victoria-Rose & Adam

Victoria Rose and Adam’s Old Woodhouse Manor Wedding was such an interesting wedding to be a part of! First up was a lovingly choreographed first look between this lovely, couple, followed by a classical music concert and then a delightful outside reception in the shadow of this delightful old manor in the Adelaide Hills.

Preparation

Both Victoria-Rose and Adam were being prepared in one of the many rooms in this delightful old Manor. Walking through the rooms was super nostalgic for me as the last time I had visited this Scout-run venue was over 20 years ago for a school camp.

This grand gothic sandstone house was built for one time Premier of South Australia and Chief Justice of South Australia Sr Richard Davies Hanson. Hanson built this large mansion in the 1860s, while the Australian Boy Scouts purchased the house and property in 1972 and to this day run the site as a training ground and popular camp site.

Victoria-Rose was keen on having a grand ‘first look’ with Adam next to the nearby stream so much of the time we were with Victoria-Rose as she got ready, Adam was with his groomsmen awaiting her arrival.

Victoria-Rose and Adam held their first look at the bottom of the gardens surrounding the Manor, we made use of the nearby foliage for a bit of shade during the midday sun for a few glamour shots before heading to a nearby clearning for their ceremony.

Old Woodhouse Manor Wedding Ceremony

Victoria-Rose and Adam’s Old Woodhouse Manor wedding ceremony took place under the shade of a large tree, nearby the car parking spaces reserved for people heading to the Manor.

Victoria-Rose arrived in a modern Mustang, with a rather brave driver, as they were completely off road and in heavy grass as they approached. I would have been worried aboult getting such a low car out of there!

Victoria-Rose walked along a small footbridge towards Adam and their congregation with Enya playing in the background and held a nice, simple ceremony topped off by having one of their grandmothers join in with a hand-fasting ceremony, which was a nice touch.
