InglewoodInn Wedding – Hannah & James

HANNAH & JAMES
InglewoodInn Wedding

Hannah and James’ wedding took place at the InglewoodInn on a rather chilly day at the tail end of winter. It was a beautiful day otherwise as the day was full of loving family and friends gathered to celebrate a wonderful couple. They asked me to be their hourly service so that I was there to cover their wedding ceremony and most of their reception. Their entire day was planned to take place on and around the grounds of the InglewoodInn which was fantastic as it made the day lovely and laid back with little that could go wrong 🙂

Before the ceremony

I arrived around an hour before the wedding ceremony was to begin, so I wandered about taking shots of the boys chatting, enjoying a few beverages and chatting over their Subarus. James was only showing slight nerves, running about keeping busy and greeting guests, but the whole affair was reasonably laid back and an air of fun was lingering over the whole scene.

InglewoodInn Wedding Ceremony

Once Hannah arrived at the InglewoodInn in her own Subaru, and she made her way down the steep driveway, their simple wedding ceremony took place. Apparently their arbour was decorated with Ikea-bought trimmings which I thought were pretty awesome.

After the wedding ceremony we wandered about the grounds of InglewoodInn that at this time of year boasts a pretty running stream along with a stunning old bridge at the very edge of their curated garden. Unfortunately this time of year the usually stunning green foliage of the oak trees had fallen, but the bare trees have an appeal of their own. We also head up the road a bit to make use of a dilapidated old cottage which I’m a big fan of.

InglewoodInn Wedding Reception

I had a wonderful time at Hannah and Jame’s wedding reception, chatting to the people on the table I was sat at. I’d like to thank hannah and James for really treating me as a guest! It’s one reason why I love doing what I do, I meet some amazingly interesting people and have a blast :). One fun thing was the fact that they had organised a smoke machine for their first dance and they gave me the control so I could set the smoke while I was taking photos.

I hope Hannah and James enjoy their photos as much as I enjoyed taking them! 🙂

South Terrace Engagement – Molly & Ian

Molly & Ian

South Terrace Engagement

Molly and Ian had booked me for their South Terrace Engagement shoot a while back, but were thwarted by bad weather for a couple of weeks before we finally met up. The day we did meet up wasn’t really much better, with the temperature on the chilly side, and the heavens continually threatening to open up on us. That being the case however, Molly and Ian’s demeanor was fun and bubbly all throughout their shoot which made it a whole lot of fun!

After meeting in front of Himeji Gardens where we spent around 30 minutes taking photos within the gardens, we head over to Veal gardens just up the road where we walked a lap of the area.

Here’s a small preview of some of their photos taken on the day, and I’m looking forward to their wedding even more now at the St Francis Winery next September!

Glenelg Golf Club Wedding – Tam & Shaun

TAM & SHAUN
Glenelg Golf Club Wedding

It was a beautifully sunny day for Tam and Shaun’s wedding at the Glenelg Golf Club which backdropped an incredible day full of love and joy. They opted to have me as their wedding photographer for the entire day allowing me to capture both of their preparations, right through until their exit from the Glenelg Golf Club where they held both their wedding ceremony and reception.

Preparation

I started the day with Shaun’s place of preparation which was a house in Hallett Cove, surrounded by his extended family and friends. The atmosphere was laid back and Shaun’s groomsmen were doing their best to keep things light hearted and fun by telling jokes and ripping on one another. When it came to tying ties though, things started to get serious, as none of them really knew how to tie the specific knot that Tam had requested them to wear! So out came a handy youtube video to help, but they still hadn’t perfected the knot before I left. It’s a pretty common thing that men have trouble with during their preparation. 🙂

Tam was getting prepared in a room of the Grand Hotel on the Glenelg foreshore. Much like the guys, the atmosphere was lovely and laid back with no real rush to get ready too soon. Once the dresses and make up was done, we went for a little walk out along the Jetty and used the Grand’s pool area for some glamour photos before revealing the wedding dress to tam’s dad.

Glenelg Golf Club Wedding Ceremony

The Glenelg Golf Club is located just to the south of the Adelaide Airport, nestled away in an area that you just wouldn’t know is there unless you’d sought out one of the best and most awarded golf clubs in South Australia. Founded in 1926, the Glenelg golf club was developed by the idea of a group of local business men who wanted to have a more local golf club for ‘regular Sunday morning sojourns’. Due to it’s locations, it’s become one of the more prestigious and well looked after golf clubs in South Australia.

The functions side of the Glenelg Golf Club has been awarded as well, winning a multitude of ABIA awards, with the most recent being the 2017 Australian Bridal Industry Academy Award for Best Club Reception Venue in Australia.

Tam and Shaun’s wedding reception took place on a little grassy area in front of the club house, as is the case with the majority of weddings that take place at the Glenelg Golf Club. The area is backdropped by a line of trees and a fairway for one of the course’s holes which can be a good and bad thing, as it looks nice, but you’ll always have people playing golf in the background. The time of day they held their reception however saw some magnificent sun shine seeping through in their photos which was nice.

Rather than stay at the Glenelg Golf Club and make use of their lovely fairways as a backdrop to their wedding photos, Tam and Shaun opted to go for a bit of a drive down to Hallett Cove where they spent their first date. However due to the slightly later wedding ceremony they held in Glenelg, by the time we arrived at Hallett Cove, the Sun was just about ready to set, so we had to hurry to get all the photos we could before it sank below the horizon all together.

Glenelg Golf Club Wedding Reception

The Glenelg Golf Club’s reception hall is a lovely laid-out area surrounded by decking outside suitable for guests to wander out on during the night. The guest’s tables were spread out across the room that can accommodate a rather large wedding congregation, surrounding the dance floor which was located at the fore of the head table where Tam, Shaun and their bridal party sat. It was a good fun night, culminating in a sparkler send off out the front of the club rooms with every guest, sparkler in hand seeing off their getaway car. Was pretty awesome 🙂
