Glenelg’s Partridge House Wedding! Just reading those words sends my heart fluttering with excitement. Imagine the perfect backdrop of a historic house with sprawling public gardens as its crown jewel. This is exactly where Emma and Steven chose to exchange their vows. Nestled in the heart of Glenelg, Adelaide, it’s a dreamy venue that offers the perfect blend of history and nature’s beauty.

The star attraction of their ceremony was, without a doubt, that magnificent large tree. As an Adelaide wedding photographer, I’ve seen many stunning venues, but Emma’s touch of hanging lanterns from that tree was a vision to behold! Twinkling gently as they exchanged their vows, the lanterns added a touch of magic to the whole setting. It was like a scene straight out of a fairy tale!

Preparation

The anticipation, the giddy giggles, the touch-up of lipstick – this is where the real magic begins. Emma prepared herself in one of the stately rooms of the Partridge House, and let me tell you, she looked like an ethereal princess. Every time I snapped a picture, I could feel the air charged with excitement. While she was getting ready, she was also keenly ensuring that every detail, especially the white floral arrangements, was picture-perfect.

The preparations weren’t just about the bride. The entire house was draped in the theme of love. White florals made their statement not just with their beauty but with their fragrance. Capturing these behind-the-scenes moments is pure gold!

The culmination of their love story was celebrated with their closest family and friends.

Every moment was filled with love and laughter, and as their photographer, I was there to capture it all.

The House on Haines Wedding – Emily & Andrew

Emily and Andrew celebrated their love at The House on Haines, nestled at the base of the Adelaide Hills. Although the day was a bit wet and gloomy, it didn’t dampen the spirits of this lovely couple and their guests!

Emily and Andrew chose to embrace the weather and make it a part of their memorable day. Their wedding was also featured in the Sunday Mail feature on Emily and Andrew's wedding. So, grab your favorite drink, get cozy, and let’s dive into all the fantastic moments of this gorgeous Adelaide Hills wedding!

Andrew’s Preparation

The morning was filled with anticipation as Andrew and his groomsmen got ready at the couple’s home. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement, and even the two fur babies of the house were caught up in the enthusiasm. After all, it’s not every day that their parents get married!

While there were many memorable moments, one light-hearted one was when a groomsman brought out a dozen different watches, unsure of which one to wear. It was a funny moment amidst the hustle and bustle of the morning. After getting ready, the groomsmen went for a short walk in a nearby park for some group shots before heading to the girls.

Emily’s Preparation at the Yatahlia Manor

Emily prepared for her big day at the stunning Yatahlia Manor, a beautiful house set amongst breathtaking grounds, complete with separate wings for all kinds of different photo shoots. Unfortunately, the weather didn’t allow us to use the grounds much, but we certainly made the most of the modern manor in all its glory. This included a tear-jerking first look with Emily’s father under the eaves of the main courtyard.

The Yatahlia Manor was the perfect backdrop for Emily’s preparation. The excitement in the air was palpable as Emily got ready with the help of her bridesmaids and family. Every detail, from her dress to her shoes, was carefully chosen and looked absolutely perfect.

Emily’s bridal bouquet was adorned with special charms that we had the honor of making for her. They were made of silver and surrounded by sparkling rhinestones, adding a touch of elegance and personalization to her bouquet. It was one of the first sets of bouquet charms we had made, and seeing them in Emily’s bouquet was incredibly rewarding. It’s always special to contribute to a bride’s big day in such a meaningful way.

The House on Haines Wedding Ceremony

The House on Haines wedding ceremony took place under a sea of umbrellas as the weather threatened to rain heavily throughout the event. For another celebration at the venue, see Danieka and Jack’s House on Haines wedding. Fortunately, it didn’t too much! Emily and Andrew decided to hold their ceremony outside on the grassy area near the house, regardless of the weather. Their celebrants made the ceremony a lot of fun by drawing their guests into the festivities in an interactive way.

Their dogs made a special appearance as ring bearers, eagerly making their way towards their parents. It was a sweet and touching moment that added a personal touch to the ceremony.

Anstey Hill Glamour Photos

For the glamour photos, we headed to Anstey Hill, just across the road. The space allowed for beautiful scenes shot through the foliage of gum trees, and the occasional spark of the sun making an appearance through the clouds. The bridal party was quite cold, so it wasn’t uncommon for the groomsmen to share their suit jackets with the bridesmaids.

The rain started to get quite heavy just as we left for the reception, but we managed to capture some beautiful moments amidst the natural beauty of Anstey Hill.

The House on Haines Wedding Reception

Emily and Andrew’s reception at The House on Haines was a blast! Guests were super keen on having a good time, and there were short but sweet speeches and a game of ‘shoe game‘ that made everyone laugh. Emily and Andrew had a large lit sign out on the decking as a backdrop to the night.

The only distraction was the Matildas game against France in the Women’s World Cup. The penalty shootout was tense, but it added an extra layer of excitement to the reception! At least one table was super excited bout it!

The House on Haines wedding of Emily and Andrew was an absolute delight to be a part of as a wedding photographer as the people and the venues involved were just perfect! Bit of a shame about the weather, but was an awesome day regardless! Thanks a bunch Emily and Andrew for having me!We are

Lisandra looked absolutely radiant as she got ready for her big day. Her gown was a vision of lace and tulle, making her look like a princess straight out of a storybook. But what really made her preparations special were the customs they incorporated from the Nordic Astaru traditions. Offering mead and having a wedding sword added a unique and playful touch, making it an experience to remember for everyone involved!

Andrew, and his gang of groomsmen were being prepared in one of the far rooms of the hotel area. The atmosphere in their room was full of camaraderie with a healthy dose of nerdiness. With references to Warhammer 40k and Dragon Ball Z flying around, it was clear that these guys knew how to have a good time!

As a fellow Warhammer 40k enthusiast, I couldn’t help but join in the fun (and secretly wish they’d give me some pro tips on the game!). Andrew looked dapper in his suit, and his excitement was palpable as he eagerly awaited the moment he would see his beautiful bride walking down the aisle.

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Ceremony

Their ceremony took place in front of the main castle keep, and it was an awe-inspiring sight. The love between Lisandra and Andrew was so evident as they exchanged their heartfelt vows in the presence of their closest family and friends.

Their ceremony included numerous, meaningful moments, including a welcome to country performed by a member of the family, the bridal party being lead by Andrew’s best man – (who really took his job seriously!), the offering of mead and a hand fasting ceremony.

Even after covering numerous weddings at the Manor, this was the first time the ceremony took place not in front of the little chapel, and it was a refreshing change! The grand castle provided a majestic backdrop that elevated the entire experience to a whole new level of romance.

Glamour Photos

After the heartwarming ceremony and a round of group photos, it was time for some glamour shots! We took full advantage of the castle grounds, and the bridal party was an absolute blast to work with. They were all game for some fun and adventurous poses, and the photos turned out to be nothing short of stunning!

The nearby orchard and gardens added a touch of natural beauty to the pictures. Lisandra and Andrew’s love shone through in every shot, making my job as their photographer an absolute joy.

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Reception

As the sun set, and the stars began to twinkle in the night sky, it was time to head indoors for the reception in the lower reception area of the castle. The rain made a fashionable appearance, but that didn’t dampen the spirits of the guests one bit! It turned into a cozy and intimate affair, perfect for celebrating the newlyweds.

The night was filled with impromptu speeches, laughter, and non-stop dancing. Lisandra and Andrew’s friends and family knew how to have a good time, and the energy was infectious! It was truly a night to remember, and I felt so fortunate to capture every moment of their special day.
