Barbershop gazebo Wedding, Botanic Gardens – Helen & John

Helen and John’s Barbershop Gazebo Wedding in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens was wonderful to be a part of! Despite the rain, the couple tied the knot in front of family and friends, with bagpipes filling the air as Helen made her entrance.

As the sounds of the haunting bagpipes echoed through the gardens, it was hard not to feel transported to Scotland. We were thrilled to be asked to cover their special day as both their wedding photographer and videographer, capturing every moment of their memorable celebration.

Barbershop gazebo Wedding Ceremony

The Barbershop Gazebo is one of only two of the nine wedding ceremony locations in the Adelaide Botanic Gardens that is completely undercover, providing much-needed protection from the elements. Given the current unpredictable weather in Adelaide, it was certainly a stroke of luck that Helen and John had chosen this spot for their wedding ceremony.

Not only did it provide a stunning and unique backdrop for their special day, but it also ensured that the rain didn’t put a damper on their celebrations. The Barbershop Gazebo is a truly special and versatile location that is perfect for any couple looking for a unique and intimate wedding ceremony venue in Adelaide.

One of the highlights of the ceremony was their celebrant, who kept everyone laughing with jokes about being compared to the Bagginses from Lord of the Rings. The couple also wrote their own vows in what’s known as “ninja vows,” which had everyone in stitches. Before their first kiss, they held a traditional tying the knot ceremony, which was a beautiful and meaningful addition to their wedding ceremony.

After the ceremony, guests were treated to a small pop-up bar on the nearby lawns while the couple, along with us, headed off for some glamour shots around the gardens. Even with the rain, the gardens were a stunning backdrop for their wedding photos.

Glamour Photos

As their guests departed, Helen, John, and I had about an hour to take photos around the gardens. We made use of the Murdoch Avenue, the old buildings, and the beautiful scenery to capture some truly special moments. Helen’s one request was a shot where she was being twirled, and we made sure to deliver on that request!

The Barbershop Gazebo was not the only thing that made Helen and John’s wedding day special. Right next to their wedding venue was a dinosaur show called Dinofest, which added an unexpected and playful touch to their celebration. We were able to take some fun and quirky photos of the couple being photobombed or even “attacked” by the dinosaurs, which was a hilarious addition to their wedding album.

The staff at Dinofest were incredibly friendly and even picked up one of the baby dinosaurs for Helen to kiss, creating a truly unique and unforgettable moment that the couple will cherish for years to come. The playful and lighthearted atmosphere of Dinofest perfectly complemented the joy and love of Helen and John’s wedding day, making it even more special and memorable.

The Adelaide Botanic Gardens provided the perfect setting for their special day, and we were thrilled to capture all the love and joy of their wedding celebration. From the bagpipes to the “ninja vows” to the tying the knot ceremony, Helen and John’s wedding was filled with unique and personal touches that made it truly one-of-a-kind.

Our Lady of the Rosary Church Wedding – Lorraine & Wayne

Our Lady of the Rosary Church Wedding – Lorraine & Wayne

Lorraine and Wayne’s wedding was a day filled with love, joy, and beautiful moments. They chose to tie the knot at the charming Our Lady of the Rosary Church in Prospect, a picturesque suburb just north of the bustling Adelaide CBD. The church’s interior, with its elegant stained glass windows and stunning altar, provided the perfect backdrop for their special day.

As an Adelaide wedding photographer with 17 years of experience, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing many unique moments, but Lorraine and Wayne surprised me with something I’m surprised I hadn’t witnessed until now! The couple decided to release doves in front of the church. It was a symbolic gesture that added a touch of magic and beauty to their union.

Witnessing this enchanting display was a first for me, and it left a lasting impression on everyone present.

Our Lady of the Rosary Church Wedding Ceremony

The Our Lady of the Rosary Church wedding ceremony was a reflection of Lorraine and Wayne’s deep-rooted faith and commitment to each other. They opted to host a full Catholic mass, allowing their loved ones to partake in their spiritual journey as they exchanged vows. The atmosphere was reverent yet filled with an unmistakable sense of joy and anticipation.

As the church doors swung open, Lorraine glided down the aisle, radiating elegance and happiness. Wayne’s eyes glistened with tears of joy as he caught his first glimpse of his beautiful bride. The intimate ceremony was punctuated by heartfelt readings, beautiful harp-accompanied hymns, and a meaningful sermon that reminded us all of the power of love and unity.

Adelaide Botanic Gardens Glamour Photos

Following the ceremony, we embarked on a picturesque adventure to the enchanting Adelaide Botanic Gardens for glamour photos. The sun danced through the foliage of the trees, casting a warm, golden glow on Lorraine and Wayne. As we strolled through the garden’s pathways, each turn offered a new breathtaking backdrop for their love story.

Amidst the vibrant blooms and lush greenery, I captured their love in candid moments and posed portraits. Lorraine’s eyes sparkled with joy, and Wayne couldn’t stop smiling, his adoration for his new wife evident in every frame. The Adelaide Botanic Gardens provided a romantic and timeless setting for their glamorous photos, leaving us all in awe of nature’s beauty.

Regency Tavern Wedding reception

The festivities continued as we made our way to the Regency Tavern for Lorraine and Wayne’s wedding reception. The venue’s enclosed open-air section at the back of the establishment set the stage for an evening filled with laughter, heartfelt toasts, and dancing. The ambiance was electric, and the love in the air was palpable.

Lorraine and Wayne’s entrance was met with cheers and applause from their family and friends, who were eager to celebrate their union. The reception space was elegantly decorated, with twinkling lights and tastefully arranged floral centerpieces that complemented the couple’s chosen theme.

Although my time at the reception was brief, I had the opportunity to capture a moment that will forever hold a special place in Lorraine and Wayne’s hearts. The cutting of the cake was a moment of pure delight, with their laughter echoing through the venue. As everyone gathered for a group photo, their smiles and camaraderie showcased the bonds of love and friendship that had come together to celebrate this extraordinary day.

Botanic Gardens Adelaide Wedding – Jody & Simon

December 16, 2022/in Wedding preview, Wedding

Botanic Gardens Adelaide Wedding – Jody & Simon

Certainly could not predict the weather here in Adelaide over the last few months – hosting a wedding in November should be a sure thing right? At least that’s what Jody and Simon thought when planning their Botanic Gardens Adelaide wedding ceremony! Only last week we had a freak mini cyclone, and this week was non stop rain!

Botanic Gardens Adelaide Wedding – The Summer House

My day started a little bumpy, arriving at what was going to be Jody and Simon’s first choice for a wedding location in the Botanic Gardens, only to be moved on to the Summer House, nearer to North Terrace due to the relentless rain that almost forced their string instrument performers to not be able to play due to possible damage of their wooden insturments.

Thankfully moving ceremony location wasn’t overly difficult, simply a matter of moving equipment one spot over – so then I waited at the National Wine Center for Jody to arrive in her motorcade – only for them to drop her off at the main gate, 300m up the road – so I had a bit of running to do 🙂

All worked out well though! Thankfully I had my lovely wife in attendance to help out with the ceremony videography back at the Summer House gazebo.

Other than all that, Jody and Simon’s Botanic Gardens Adelaide wedding ceremony was full of love, laughter and awesome vows that made everyone show their full gamut of emotions!

The weather thankfully cleared just after Jody and Simon’s ceremony ended, allowing for a big group photo just behind the gazebo, and of course their glamour photos!

We began by doing a small lap of the gardens up to the historic Economic Building witht he bridal party, taking photos as we went, and then left the bridal party to head back to Ayres House while Jody, Simon, the best man and I walked p to the Friendship gates for more photos.

Some unique features of a Botanic Gardens Adelaide wedding on a very wet day is that there are some very nice water features that only occur on these types of days, so I was keen to make use of them – and the simple fact that we had the whole place to ourselves! Very peaceful!

Ayres House Wedding Reception

As someone who had a bit of a lego theme myself at my own wedding – I was super excited to see what Jody and Simon had as their table center pieces! Dozens of the incredible lego bouquet sets who had all apparently been made by a very dedicated small group of people – lego masters, obviously! HJody and Simon even gave me one as a parting gift that night – which is now taking pride of place next to my computer as I write this!

Their night was full of fun speeches, and games with the highlight definitely being the scavenger hunt game where some of the contenstants certainly got into the spirit of things!

Botanic Park Wedding – Naz & Peter

Peter and Naziera opted to hold a very small, intimate Adelaide Botanic Park wedding in front of their 3 sons, their celebrant and myself which made for a cozy little atmosphere under the stunning moreton bay fig trees on a stunningly sunny day!

Although their Botanic Park wedding ceremony was flanked by no fewer than 3 engagement celebrations and other users of the public space, their wedding ceremony felt beautifully personal regardless!

Adelaide Botanic Park Wedding Ceremony

Peter and Naz’s tiny little ceremony – which could also be called an elopement took place on one of the larger moreton bay fig trees on parade along the Botanic Park, just north of the Adelaide Botanic Garden‘s Friendship gates.

We attempted to have as little as possible behind Peter and Naziera during their cermeony so that their photos did not have anything but the stunning beauty of the park in the background. Wasn’t always possible of course, but we tried our best!

Their ceremony was short and sweet, with two of their three sons acting as witnesses on their marriage certificate.

For glamour photos, we made good use of the Botanic park’s trees, going for a little walk and trying to get the midday sun to shine through the foliage before heading into the Botanic Gardens to make use of some different backdrops.

The Moreton bay fig trees in Botanic park make for some stunning backdrops for wedding photography – I just love walking through them – particularly on sunny days such as this, the atmosphere is one of such joy and happiness when the sun plays nice!

The Adelaide Botanic Gardens as always turned it on for us, walking through we managed to make use of quite a few little spots I had grwon fond of after my many weddings I have shot through here. That being said though, the middle of the day is possibly the wost time of day to take photos through here – so I attempted to head to shadier spots to make use of the shade rather than direct sunlight.

Adelaide Botanic Gardens Cycad Collection Wedding – Joanne & Blake

Adelaide Botanic Gardens Cycad Collection Wedding – Joanne & Blake

Joanne and Blake held their wedding ceremony at the Cycad Collection area, which is one of the many wedding ceremony locations available within the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

The weather was fantastic and the smiles on everyone’s face made for the most wonderful atmosphere for this lovely couple’s simple wedding celebration!

 

Cycad Collection Wedding Ceremony

After a little bit of a wait due to the unfortunate parking situation causing Joanne to be a little late – Joanne and Blake’s wedding ceremony took place under the shade provided by the large gum tree at the foot of their Cycad collection wedding location. It’s not often that shade is there due to the orientation of the spot, but as their ceremony was quite early in the day, this space was perfect!

Music was provided by a nifty two man strings band which played music before and after their ceremony. Joanne and Blake really seemed to enjoy their presence and they were good enough sports to join in for a bit of a fun photo at the end of their group photos.

Joanne and Blake’s Cycad collection wedding ceremony was presided over by a family member – who happend to also be a celebrant, which was lovely as it made for the while ceremony to be that much more intimate, it was lovely to see the celebrant herself tear up!

Their ceremony also included a number of different people who stepped up to recite a bit of a reading, and their little page boy kept stealing the show by shyly joining in at random moments – including a blended family sand ceremony, which is nice to see.

After the group family photos, and saying goodbye to the string band, we went on a little bit of a whirlwind tour of the Botanic Gardens before returning to the National Wine Center for a lunch time reception.

We began right near the Cycad collection area, and snaked our way north, through the heritage listed green house, the famed elm walk way right up through the friendship gates to make use of the trees in Botanic park – and back again.

We moved quick in order to make use of all the spots in the Botanic Gardens I knew would work in this light, and also to get back to the wine center on time.
