Night Time Lot 100 Wedding – Natasha & Steve

Natasha and Steve’s night time Lot 100 wedding was a magical affair, filled with beautiful moments and unique challenges. The night-time setting added an extra layer of charm and intimacy, making their wedding day truly unforgettable. From a pre-ceremony concert to a glamour photoshoot under the stars, every detail was meticulously planned and executed to (almost) perfection.

Pre-ceremony concert

Before the ceremony even began, the air was filled with the soothing sounds of a harpist, setting a serene and enchanting tone for the evening. Natasha’s friends, who are talented performers, graced the gathering with their music, creating an atmosphere of calm and elegance. The harp’s delicate notes seemed to dance in the air, weaving a tapestry of sound that wrapped everyone in a warm embrace. It was a moment of pure magic that perfectly set the stage for the rest of the evening.

As the guests arrived, they were treated to a stunning duet by two opera singers. Their powerful voices resonated throughout the venue, adding a touch of grandeur to the proceedings. The performance was nothing short of spectacular, leaving everyone in awe of the sheer talent on display. This pre-ceremony concert was a testament to the love and support Natasha and Steve have from their friends, making the evening even more special.

Night Time Lot 100 Wedding Ceremony

The ceremony itself was scheduled to conclude after dark, adding a layer of mystery and romance to the event. Natasha and Steve chose Lot 100 for its rustic charm and natural beauty, and it did not disappoint. As the sun dipped below the horizon, the venue transformed into a wonderland of twinkling lights and shadows. However, the darkness also posed a unique challenge – the ceremony area became quite dark, making it difficult for the couple and their celebrant to read their vows.

Fortunately, I had anticipated this and came prepared with my lighting equipment. As the celebrant required I was ready to step in and set up lights to ensure everyone could see clearly. This allowed Natasha and Steve to focus on each other and their heartfelt vows, without worrying about the lack of light. The soft glow from the lights added a romantic ambiance to the ceremony, enhancing the beauty of the moment.

Night Time Glamour Photos

Once the ceremony was over, it was time for the glamour photoshoot. Natasha and Steve were prepared for a nighttime shoot, but perhaps not for how dark it would actually be. The grounds of Lot 100 offered the perfect backdrop for some truly unique and moody shots. Armed with several lights, we set out to explore the venue, making the most of the darkness to create some stunning images.

The absence of a full moon added to the challenge, as we were hoping to be able to recreate an image I took last time I was at Lot 100, but also provided an opportunity to get creative. We ventured into the paddocks, carefully avoiding cow pats and occasionally getting startled by sleeping cows. The experience was both adventurous and fun, resulting in some incredible photos that captured the essence of the night. The darkness allowed us to play with light and shadow, creating dramatic and artistic images that Natasha and Steve will cherish forever.

Pre-Ceremony

As I was a bit early – as I usually am to a wedding, I head up to the quaint Bed and Breakfast on the estate, where the bride and her parents shared tender moments preparing for the ceremony. This short time was filled with anticipation and joy, and I’m so happy I was able to get just this little glimpse of these moments. The serene setting provided a perfect backdrop for capturing the bride’s radiant smile and the intricate details of her dress.

Hahndorf’s St Pauls Church Wedding – Nicola & Tom

I had an absolute blast photographing Nicola and Tom’s St Pauls Church wedding in Hahndorf! So much so that I’ve delivered more than double my usual number of photos I generally deliver to couples! Their day was just that amazing!

From the personalities of the people involved to the locations they had chosen for their photos, the whole day was just a delight to be a part of!

Preparation

Tom and his groomsmen were being prepared on the family farm in Euchinga, which was such a great location to take photos later on in the day that Dad actually took me for a bit of the tour of the property beforehand to scout out locations – which was actually quite handy as it certainly gave me some ideas!

Tom and his groomsmen were all quite laid back and having a bit of fun in the morning, and we even got Tom on his dirt bike for a few laps!

Nicola and her bridal party were getting ready in a house back at the beginning of the Prince’s Highway – so a little way away. The atmosphere here was a little more chaotic with dozens of people pitching in, packing cars and sorting everything out. We managed to squeeze in a first look with Nicola’s Dad and a few shots under some nearby trees before we had to run out the door to head back to Hahndorf.

St Pauls Church Wedding

The weather was absolutely perfect for Nicola and Tom’s St Pauls Church wedding! Nicola and her bridal aprty arrived in the nearby carpark but then made the (wonderful) choice to walk back down to the road and make an approach to the church. This allowed me to capture this pretty little Lutheran church in the background as they walked.

Their ceremony was presided over by a priest, but also a member of Tom and Nicola’s family, and also included family members on instruments – which made the entire thing that much more intimate and heartfelt!

After the ceremony, all of their wedding guests lined the path way that Nicola and her bridemaids had taken to approach the church to throw petals over the exiting couple – again allowing for some stunning scenery – particularly when using the drone!

After a bit of a break under the shade of a nearby tree, along with some lovely iced tea – we took the family photos, used the church a little longer for some shots, then drove to Kuitpo forest for some glamour photos in their getaway ute which had been decorated by the groomsmen  with tape and cans on strings.

I always love heading to Kuitpo for wedding photos! The sun streaming through the straight pine trees I feel always works really well and makes for an incredible backdrop!

But Nicola and Tom weren’t done at Kuitpo! We head back to the family farm in Euchnga where the boys had been prepared to make use of the farming backdrop – with a heavy importance put on getting s ahot with the cows!

The farm provided some wonderful scenes from bth high and low, with a ruined homestead to make use of, and also rolling hills full of dried grass. Was a beautful place!

Sidewood Wedding Reception

This was my first visit to the wonderful Sidewood Estate – and I was very impressed! Nicola and Tom’s wedding reception included field games set up in such a professional manner that it all felt part of the day, rather than an afterthought! Everyone got involved in the jovial nature of the day and it was just stunning!

During the sunset we went off site a little to use the nearby orchard for some glamour shots – and despite the lack of any real sunset, it’s always nice to shoot in places like that.

The DJ and I convinced the staff to set up their first dance out the front of the usual dancefloor, allowing all their guests to view the first dance from the patio, and then the party just took off fueled of course by the Sidewood Estates incredible ciders!

Bremer Farm Wedding – Heather & Nick

I had been looking forward to covering Heather and Nick’s wedding as their photographer as they had chosen such a lovely unique venue that I knew would produce absolutely awesome results with my style of wedding photography! Their Bremer Farm wedding was one of those weddings where no matter how hard I tried, I could just not take a good photo! I even went so far as smashing my camera! haha

Heather and Nick had a beautiful family and group of friends who simply wanted nothing more than seeing this delightful couple get married in the most beautifully rustic setting.

Preparation

Nick and his groomsmen got ready at the parent’s house, just north of Adelaide – and the interior decor was quite a find. The light coming in the ornate windows, and the decorations lovingly placed around the hallways made for a nice, rustic start to the day which I was expecting at the Bremer Farm wedding ceremony, not so much the places of preparation, but I wasn’t complaining!

The highlight of the preparation was when Nick opened Heather’s gift to him, which was a lovingly chosen, elobrate chess set – which made Nick smile quite a bit! We had to take some shots of the Best man besting the groom!

Heather and her entouage got prepared a bit closer to Bremer farm, at a B&B in Mt Barker. The atmosphere was delightfully laid back with the appearance of a rather large 8-legged guest, to which heather was keen to give a bit of a kiss and I presume an invite to celebrate the day with her! Such is the humour of country girls – I was told!

Bremer Farm Wedding Ceremony

The Bremer Farm wedding ceremony location is at the end of a nice little patch of grass, surrounded by an old, rustic stone wall and lines of lush green trees. At one end is a permanent arbour made of what looks like repurposed railway sleepers, which all comes together so a nice, rustic surrounds for wedding ceremonies.

Heather was walked down the aisle by her son, and their ceremony involved a reading from an important person. Their vows were shared and they were married! Simple as that!

After a short group photo session, we made sure to use the rustic old buildings scattered around Bremer Farm for some awesome photos. I expecially enjoyed using the old stables – although it was a bit of a shame that the hay bails that were there when I came out to visit the venue a few months prior had gone, but the atmosphere was still there!

Heather was keen to get photos with the wildlife a short walk away before going for a short drive to a ruined cottage we had scouted out prior to the day.

This cottage is quite a find! I really enjoyed the fact that there is a tree growing from inside the old house, while there are bullet holes, and huge craters along the walls of the place – which otherwise looked in fairly good condition or an abandoned ruin.

While there I also had a ball of a time using the rolling clouds which before long scattered Heather and Nick’s reception with a bit of rain, but thankfully they had a bit of a marquee set up to keep everyone dry.

Bremer Farm Wedding Reception

Heather and Nicks Bremer Farm wedding reception was full of heartfelt speeches from quite a few people from their lives, and their dance floor was set in the large shed right near the marquee they had set up.

One big reason why they had me as their wedding photographer is my love for the more candid photos at this time of night, so I had a bit of fun running about catching people just enjoying the night – it was a great atmosphere to be a part of!

They also gave me a nice bottle of whiskey! woo!

Quince Brook Wedding – Verity & Jake

Verity and Jake’s Quince Brook wedding took place on an absolutely sunning day in late August. The wedding venue being the fortunate backup to another nearby, and what a spot it is!

Quince Brook boasts rolling green hills over farmland that goes on for as far as the eye can see, and suited Verity and Jake’s care free personalities to a ‘tee’.

 

Preparation

I started out the day just up the road from the Quince Brook wedding venue, at a delightful bed and breakfast where Verity and her entouage were being prepared. The Evansdale Villas are perched right at the top of the rolling hills that surround Strathalbyn, and are surrounded by farmland, complete with cows and wonderful looking trees that are great to hang dresses in!

verity and her bridesmaids were jovial all throughout the preparation process, and had little flower girls and page boys to run about to have a bit of fun.

It ‘s always nice to see the reaction of the father of the bride when he first walks in and shees his little girl done up in her wedding dress!

Quince Brook Wedding Ceremony

Verity and Jake’s Quince Brook wedding ceremony took place under a large gum tree, behind the large shed that serves as a rustic hall suitable for receptions. Their guests sat and stood around them on the lush, green grass as they witnessed these two beautiful people come together.

Verity and Jake’s little dog got special mentions during their ceremony, and included numerous heartfelt tidbits from their relationship.

Glamour Photos

Walking about and taking glamour photos at Quince Brook was an absolute breeze. My affinity for the natural surroundings really helped out with what was available surrounding the property!

After a short time of mingling with guests and enjoying themselves, Verity, Jake and I went for a little walk out over the rolling hills to take some intimate photos together in amongst the gum trees, before calling on the bridal party to come with us in the opposite direction to make use of the driveway and the setting sun.

I big fun part of a Quince Brook wedding is the fact that there are rather tame cows just wandering around the property, which allowed us to get a few different shots featuring these bovine friends! A really sweet aspect of the day was that a calf was born on the morning of Verity and Jake’s wedding, and the owners named the newborn Verity – after the bride!

Very cute.
