Ten22 Wedding – Julia & Daniel

It was a day filled with love, laughter, and some unexpected twists and turns. My wife and I had the privilege of capturing the beautiful union of Julia and Daniel on their wedding day.

They had planned to exchange vows in the picturesque Adelaide Botanic Gardens, but Mother Nature had different plans. With bad weather rolling in, they had to make a last-minute decision to move their ceremony to Ten22, which was also the venue for their reception, which was certainly convenient!

Preparation

Daniel was getting ready at a house in Reynella East, which was conveniently close to Malbeck Drive Park. We took advantage of the nearby park for a few photos before heading to the ceremony. It was a great spot with plenty of greenery and a relaxed vibe.

Julia was getting ready with her family closer to the city. The entire time spent here was quite relaxed and easy going, with the added bonus of being teared to a delightful lunch put on by Julia’s mother. There was a sense of calm and joy that filled the air. It was the perfect start to a perfect day.

One fun tidbit of trivia is that right at the beginning of my photography career I had met Julia working with Santa Claus at the Myer ‘Santaland’ right when it was a new thing at the Myer center in the city – it was lovely to see her again!

Ten22 Wedding Ceremony

The Ten22 wedding ceremony was an intimate and heartfelt affair. As Julia arrived through the curtains, you could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air. The space may have been a bit cozier than expected, but it added to the warmth and intimacy of the occasion.

As we were also producing a highlight video, it was a bit of a challenge to navigate the smaller space with our video cameras, but we managed to capture every moment beautifully. The vows that Julia and Daniel exchanged were truly heartwarming, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was a beautiful moment that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

As a professional Adelaide wedding photographer, you have to be prepared for this weird weather we’ve been having recently, and let me tell you, this day was definitely one that threw quite a few hurdles! Changing venues, the rain, smashing my camera – all in good fun!

Despite the rain, we managed to capture some stunning shots at the old rustic Belair Train Station and the nearby Belair National Park. The gum trees and the occasional appearance of the sun made for the perfect backdrop for some truly magical moments. And as soon as we left the park, the heavens opened up, and the rain didn’t stop for the rest of the night. But you know what they say, rain on your wedding day is good luck! And Julia and Daniel certainly had all the luck in the world on their special day.

Ten22 Wedding Reception

The shed interior of Ten22 is rustic, yet elegant. It had a cozy and warm feeling to it, the atmosphere was just perfect for a small, intimate gathering of loved ones, and as for the food, let’s just say that their ‘sit down’ finger food style reception was an absolute hit! The guests were raving about the delicious bites, and everyone had a wonderful time mingling and chatting with one another.

During the reception, we managed to sneak in a few photos in the alleyway behind Ten22. Yes, it was raining, but that didn’t stop us! In fact, it added a unique and moody element to the shots. We even used some lights and smoke to create some dramatic effects, and the results were absolutely stunning. It just goes to show that sometimes, the best photos come from unexpected situations.

Belair Train Station Engagement Shoot – Emma & Stephen

    Belair Train Station Engagement

    Belair Train station engagement shoot

Emma and Stephen wanted to show off their love for one another with a Belair Train Station Engagement Shoot before their big day at Mt Barker’s Auchendarroch House.

With Stephen travelling half away across the world from the US to see Emma after several long years apart due to the dastardly effects of the COVID pandemic, they were finally able to be together so they wanted to celebrate as soon as possible!

Emma was in two minds throughout the day about whether or not to head out that night for their engagement shoot due to the weather in the morning being less than spectacular. Thankfully the weather cleared up during the day and we all head out for what turned out to be a beautiful evening.

Belair Train Station Engagement Shoot

We began Emma and Stephen’s Belair Train Station Engagement shoot in amongst the station’s historic platform and waiting shelter where we made use of the beautiful ‘Belair’ writing on the wooden structure and the delightful parallel lines leading all over the place makeing for some lovely scenes.

As Emma had explained before heading out, she had not seen Stephen for several years prior to their engagement shoot, so these two were full of lovey-dovey hugs and kisses all evening, which made my job that much easier!

As we set out during golden hour, we wanted to make the most of the golden hues of the sun streaming in through the majestic gum trees that make up the Belair National Park. We went for a little walk just behind the Belair Train Station to make use of this amazing setting!

Just as we were wrapping up, and having a chat with a group of joggers who had just finished their excersises, a freight train thundered past the Belair Train Station platform, so we quickly jumped in front of it for a bit of a photo! The train operator obviously had a bit of a ssense of humour and made sure to be seen throughout. 🙂

Belair National Park Wedding – Justine & Nathan

    Belair National Park Wedding

    Under the trees

It was a rather overcast day in early December for Justine and Nathan’s wedding at the Belair National Park. Rain was threatening all day, but thankfully only showers for brief periods all day. Good thing too as the ceremony and following picnic-style period in between the ceremony and reception was all out in the open within the park. Turned out to be an awesome day though. I was asked to be their wedding photographer for the entire day and I had an absolute blast!

Preparation

Started off the day with Nathan and his boys getting ready at their home. I arrived to the boys all sitting about playing Super Smash bros on their Nintendo Switch before getting them moving to get dressed. There was a neat empty room off to the side of their living room where there was plenty of room to move about and take some rather atmospheric shots 🙂

I think the best experience of the morning was at Justine’s place of prep at her parent’s place. The emotion certainly got hold of Justine’s Dad who was holding back tears all morning, it was a delight to see and made the whole morning that much more emotional to witness that kind of fatherly love. Justine was fairly calm and collected through the whole morning though, quite keen on getting her dress on and moving the day forward 🙂

Belair National Park Wedding Ceremony

Their wedding ceremony took place in a hireable spot of grass within the Belair National Park in the shadow what I’m told to be the tallest certain type of gum tree in South Australia. Backdropped by native fauna, the place is a lovely setting, nearby some lush greenery ready for photos after.

Belair National Park Picnic

The great thing about this spot is that it boasts plenty of room to set up a ceremony, and a picnic while still having plenty of room for lawn games including cricket, chess and marks up. Everyone had a blast, and I got to witness one of the most intense games of giant jenga ever conceived.

For the glamour photos we wandered around the local area nearby where Justine and Nathan’s ceremony took place using the lovely greenery, and an awesome tree I discovered. before heading to another spot on the other side of the Belair National Park nearby the railway station. It’s always a great shot there with a huge archway of gum trees throwing themselves over the walking trail. Once we were done here we head off to the Glenelg Golf Course for the reception. While waiting to head in we used the scenery there for a few shots too.

Glenelg Golf Club Wedding Reception

The reception was quite a boisterous affair at the Glenelg Golf Club, with dancing going on all night and everyone having an absolute blast! The girls and boys all got into the bouquet and garter tosses, and everyone from young to old I’m sure were rubbing their feet the next morning from all the dancing they did the night before! It was a lot of fun circling the dance floor with my camera s when I walked by I’d always get someone throwing a funny face or going crazy in front of me!

Belair Country Club Wedding – Bonita & Mike

October 18, 2015/in Wedding, Wedding preview

I was incredibly lucky to be Bonita and Mike’s wedding photographer at their Belair Country Club wedding as the day turned out to be utterly perfect. Great weather, people and the Belair Country Club is such a beautiful venue! With rolling grass areas fringed by lush trees and a creek, it’s really beautiful. Aside from this, the Belair National Park is right next door where we went after the ceremony for some photos along with the old Belair train station.

Groomsmen Preparation

Mike and his two grooms men got ready at Glenelg in a hotel suite which they forgot they had to check out of by 10am! lucky the staff of the Oaks Plaza Pier Hotel allowed us to stay that little bit longer to take a few preparation photos. It helps when it’s your wedding day!

Bridal Party Preparation

Bonita (or Bonnie) got ready at their house in O’Halloran Hill. I arrived just before the make up artist was finishing up and as their motorcade was arriving. Quite a laid back couple there was little to no stress and laughter all around. The whole preparation process was a delight to witness.

Belair Country Club Wedding Ceremony

The Country Club is a venue just down the road from the Belair National Park entrance and is absolutely breathtaking as a wedding venue. Of all the Adelaide garden wedding venues, this Country Club has got to rank amongst my favourite for wedding photography.  The venue is nestled amongst magnificent gum trees, full of kangaroos, emus, Koalas and bird life as you would expect from a place surrounded by a national park.

For Bonita and Mike’s glamour photos we started out in the grounds of the Country Club, but then headed out to the old Belair train station and then took a short walk through the Belair National Park. All three locations were absolutely breathtaking and it made my role as their wedding photographer much easier.

The Belair Country Club is approximately 20 years old with the main building looking very modern. The building comprises of three function rooms (The Garden Room, The Parkview Room and the Fairway View Room.) The Parkview and Fairway View Room can be opened up into one large room is desired. Bonita and Mike’s wedding took place in the Garden room. One of the owners of the Country Club is a former International Head Chef and it really showed in the food they served, was delicious.

I’d like to thank Bonita and Mike for choosing me as their wedding photographer as I had an absolute ball taking these photos and editing them. I believe some of the photos taken at this wedding were some of my more ‘epic’ in regard to sheer aesthetic appeal. I hope you enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed creating them!
