AuchendarrochHouse Wedding – Elyssa & Ziad

Elyssa and Ziad held their AuchendarrochHouse wedding ceremony on the pristine lawns nearby the heritage listed mansion in Mt Barker. The day’s weather was amazing, and the people involved even more so!

Their day was delightful to be a part of, beginning with Elyssa’s preparation in the city before a first look at the Auchenarroch House’s lawns before their Bahai wedding ceremony!

Preparation

Elyssa and a few friends were being prepared in a hotel room in the city. It was a fairly cramped space so I was tip toeing around the makeup and hairdressers that were also making use of the small space – but it all turned out great!

The atmosphere was very laid back with Elyssa showing great excitiement for the day to come!

First Look Photoshoot

Elyssa and Ziad opted for a first look prior to their AuchendarrochHouse wedding ceremony within the nearby gardens and the house itself. In order to do so, both Elyssa and Ziad arrived well before their guests started arriving so we had the run of the delightful gardens and of course unique architecture of the house itself to take some lovely, intimate photos of just the two of them.

AuchendarrochHouse Wedding Ceremony

Elyssa and Ziad’s wedding ceremony took place under the beautiful huge, green tree on the grassy area next to the main building of Auchendorrach house. Their congragation made use of it’s shade to avoid the harsh sun throughout the ceremony which incorporated a small chior, and speeches from a number of different family members and friends.

Elyssa and Ziad made use of my livestream service to include gusts that could not attend the ceremony itself – and according to the number of people watching in, it was a huge hit!

Directly after the ceremony, we made use of the open grassy area to take a drone photo of all the guests in attendance before rushing back into the shade for smaller family photos.

AuchendarrochHouse Wedding Reception

Elyssa and Ziad’s AuchendarrochHouse wedding reception was an early dinner that took place in the lovely private function section of the establishment. The space draws on the aesthetic of the elegant 19th-century house that’s attached, which quite different to the modern tavern thats right next door. SImply walking through the entire place takes you through quite a few time zones!

The highlight of Elyssa and Ziad’s reception were the heartfelt speeches made by a number of different important people in their life, while they also had a fun little guest-driven game going throughout where a quiz on Elyssa and Ziad’s relationship were given to all their guests.

Big Easy Radio Wedding – Leanne & Evan

Leanne and Evan’s Big Easy Radio wedding is the type of wedding you look forward to for weeks as a wedding photographer! Here was a couple who value entertainment, are not afraid to get a bit risky with photo locations and certainly had a flair for the dramatic!

Their wedding, just out of Aldinga at the delightfully rustic wedding venue, Big Easy Radio had it all! From cliff side photoshoot, to helicopter rides, even circus performers and a doughnut and milkshake stand! Absolutely brilliant!

Preparation

This amazing day started out at a bed and breakfast overlooking the Port Willunga Bay where Leanne and her entourage were being prepared. Leanne did not have any formal ‘bridal party’ but some friends and family were all there to see her through the morning.

First Look

One of my favourite modern wedding traditions is what’s known as the ‘first look‘ where wither the father of the bride, or the groom – or in this case both – sees the bride for the first time in all of her bridal finery. Some of the reactions you can apture is absolutely priceless!

Leanne’s fathe rwas first to see her walk out of the bed and breakfast, before hopping into their delightful bridal car to head over to Blanche Point for a first look with Evan.

Before heading directly to their Big Easy Radio wedding ceremony, Leanne and Evan wanted to make a bit of an entrance where they decided to splash out on a bit of a helicopter ride with Helivista. No one but their closest family knew they were going to arrive via helicopter, so it was a fun surprise for their guests!

Big Easy Radio Wedding Ceremony

After flying low over their guests, waiting for the bride and groom to arrive, Leanne and Evan’s Big Easy Radio wedding ceremony took palce on the small grassy area surrounded by the homestead. Their ceremony was a nice simple affair, with short speeches made by friends and family before signing the certificate.

it was slightly unfortunate that the weather had really heated up by the time their ceremony had fninished meaning that Leanne and Evan, along with their guests had been sitting in the sun for quite a bit. Unfortunately my livestream that I had set up for them malfunctioned due to the heat – sorry about that guests that couldn’t attend!

Lunchtime Reception

In between the ceremony and their Big Easy Radio wedding reception, Leanne and Evan’s guests were kept entertained with lawn games, live music, astonishing food platters with doughnuts and milkshakes(!) galore – and even silk dancers!

The silk dancers had set up their performance platform on the open grassy area nearby where thehelicopter had landed – this made for quite a unique wedding experience!

Golden Hour Photoshoot

As the weather was hot and dry all day, the golden hour period of the day emitted some spectacular orange light which I was keen to make use of in the grounds surrounding Big Easy Radio. First we head over to the old wagon ruin, then went off road a bit to use the long grass bearby, then finally making use of the vine yards on site.

Once we arrived back for the reception, I noticed that the full moon was quite low in the sky and after having Leanne and Evan stand on top of a small raised garden bed, I was able to make full use of it!

Finally, as a cherry on the top of such a spectacular day, Leanne and Evan’s reception was full of fun dancing, drinking and making merry with some absolutely wonderful people in attendance!

Again leanne and Evan’s guests were entertained by another unique addition to their wedding – some fire twirlers! I certainly think this whole concept of entertainers attending weddings like this should be more common.

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding – Nadia & Joy

Nadia and Joy held their duel ceremony wedding on a Tuesday at the beginning of December – which might seem out of the ordinary but it worked out beautifully for holding a GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding!

Being a Tuesday meant that the lower Pulpshed wedding venue wasn’t being used by another wedding so we got to use both spots for as many photos as we wanted. Also being a lunch time wedding, Nadia and Joy got to make the most of everything the Glen Ewin Estate has to offer!

Baha’i Wedding Ceremony

At the beginning of the day, Nadia and Joy held a religious Baha’i wedding ceremony from the comfort of their own home while making use of my livestream service which allowed a multitude of guests from around the world to tune in all day.

As is traditional with Baha’i wedding ceremonies, the service was a simple affair, with readings from family and friends and a signing of marriage documents over the household’s dining table after which I whisked myself off to GlenEwin Estate to set up the photobooth for their lunchtime reception and video equipment to record their GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding Ceremony.

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding Ceremony

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding ceremonies usually take place on a grassy area overlooking a man made pond in front of the main reception area just to the left of the entrance to the Estate. The space is surrounded on all sides by earth, greenery and makes for an intimate space for any wedding ceremony.

Nadia and Joy’s legal ceremony had already taken place during their Baha’i ceremony, so they had no need to sign any documents after this ceremony, but they still made the most of the moment by reciting heartfelt vows to one another and had a bit of fun with inserting fun little caveats to each other’s ‘i do’s’.

GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse Wedding Reception

Directly after their second ceremony, we took a few family group shots and made use of some of the greenery around for some glamour shots before heading in for their lunchtime GlenEwin Estate Gatehouse wedding reception.

Again, the reception was a lovely, intimate, simple affair with family and friends, while guests who could not attend recording video messages for the bride and groom which was played on the large screen. During the rest of the reception the whole day was played back using the footage I had taken via my livestream!

As Nadia and Joy’s reception wrapped up after lunch, there was still ample time for us to run about the entirety of the Glen Ewin Estate to make use of some of the amazing spots scattered about for some more glamour photos – which was exactly what we did!

It was so liberating to have a wedding on a Tuesday as there were absolutely nobody else about dictating when and where we could go!

Ingle wood Inn Wedding – Stephanie & Ben

Stephanie and Ben’s Ingle Wood Inn wedding was held on a beautiful day late November. The weather wasn’t hot, nor cold and the clouds stayed at just the right times and left at others – it really was quite a stunning day to be a part of!

As a wedding venue, the Inglewood Inn is one of my favourite spots to head to. It boasts a surprisingly diverse set of photo opportunities while still being quite a private and intimate spot for some spectatular wedding ceremonies – particularly during the summer!

 

Preparation

I started the say with Ben and his family being prepared at a nearby house on a lovely quiet street which we made use of with Ben’s brother’s little motorcycle which he seemd pretty proud of!

The preparation was nice and laid back with Ben’s mother and father stepping in occasionally to help with ties and pinning flowers on lapels. If Ben was nervous – he was hiding it well!

Stephanie was being prepared at the couple’s house – also nearby and the first thing I did when arriving was to convince Stephanie to hang her dress up int he small forested area right out he front of their house. Thankfully she let me without much fuss, as it was a stunning spot to make use of for a hanging dress photo!

Stephanie and her bridesmaid also had a bit of fun with a bottle of champaigne before doing a bit of a reveal to Dad who had not seen the dress on Stephanie until that morning. It’s always lovely to see!

Ingle wood Inn Wedding Ceremony

Stephanie and Ben’s Ingle Wood Inn Wedding ceremony took place on the grassy area before the Inn building – where it’s usually held, but perhaps slightly to the right of where it’s often set up. This allowed for the forested area to be the backdrop behind their modern hexagonal arbour which looked quite stunning!

The ceremony began with Ben looking away from where Stephanie was entering, allowing for a proper ‘first look’ as she walked down the aisle as he turned around. Then continued with anecdotes of ther relationship until that point and culminated with a simple exchanging of rings and first kiss.

Stephanie and Ben’s Ingle wood inn wedding was an absolute blast to photograph. The weather was overcast – but not cold, and the sun shone through the clouds just at the right times in order to best use it’s presence felt in their photographs!

Directly after their ceremony, and after the big group shot which we took with their bridal car before it left we made use of the oldest bridge still in use in South Australia – Gollop’s Bridge. It’s a mainstay of photos at any Ingle wood Inn wedding, and we certainly made the most of it with Stephanie’s awesome long veil hanging over the ledge!

We also made good use of the greenery and running creek situated behind the wedding ceremony location so some stunning shots as the sun dipped lower and lower.

It was common up until recently to have access to a little ruined cottage just up the road a bit from Inglewood Inn as a backdrop for photos, but the owner no longer allows it’s use for that so we had to travel a little further up the road. Thankfully Stephanie and Ben were quite adventurous and were keen to climb a bit of a hill to get a neat shot of them on a cliff with Inglewood Inn in the background.

While climbing down however I manged to slip and fall on my main camera :/ oh well that’s what insurance is for!

Later in the evening we also head back out to Gallop Bridge in the dark to make use of some smoke in a can and lights!

Sunnybrae Wedding – Linda & Jonathon

It was a wonderful experience covering Linda and Jonothan’s Sunnybrae wedding in early November. The day was filled with fun filled family and friends, with a delightful dash of tradition and a bit of fun dodging the weather!

The day began with a traditional tea ceremony, photos at Port Adelaide’s Crozier Street and reception back at one of the Sunnybrae wedding reception spaces.

Preparation

I started my day, quite early in the morning with Jonathon and his groomsmen getting ready with his groomsmen. The morning was quite relaxed with plenty of coffee and fun trying to attach those annoying flowers!

I then head over to where Linda was being preparaed for a quick shoot of her and her being preparaed with her red dress, and some group shots with family before Jonathon arrived to begin their tea ceremony.

Chinese Tea Ceremony

Linda and Jonathon had me with them from quite early in the morning in order to cover their tea ceremony conducted with their family.

The best part in my opinion of a traditional Chinese tea ceremony like this is the fun trials the groom and his entourage have to go through in order to enter the home where they can see the bride! In Jonathon’s case, Linda had her bridesmaids ask Jonathon and his groomsmen to drink odd things, transfer a piece of seaweed between each other using only their lips and of course sing and dance so Linda could hear them!

Linda and Jonathon held tea ceremonies at two houses – the first where Linda was being prepared with Linda’s side of the family, and another at their own home with Jonothan’s side of the family.

White dress preparation

After the trea ceremonies, Linda had to change out of her red dress into her white bridal gown in preparation for the ceremony. So Jonathon left for Sunnybrae earlier while Linda and her brides maids prepared.

Sunnybrae Wedding Ceremony

When we arrived for their Sunnybrae wedding ceremony, the weather had taken a turn for the worse with a bit of rain hampering the preparations. Jonathon was weighing up their options, on whether or not to move the ceremony inside or wait until the rain passed to have the ceremony outside as planned. With the help of my weather predicting apps, I suggested we wait 15 minutes after the scheduled beginning time as the weather radar looked as though the rain would pass – and it did and they held the ceremony outside.

The Sunnybrae wedding ceremony location Linda and Jonathon chose is a permanent set up out the back of the Sunnybrae complex, complete with concrete state and permenant large wooden armour under which the ceremony takes place. There is ample room for the largest of wedding congregations on the grassy area at the fore of the stage, while the bride makes a majestic entrance walking through a wooden pargola.

Crozier Street Glamour Photos

We then went for a short drive to Port Adelaide’s famed Crozier street for some industial styled wedding photos. I love heading here as the lines and run down industrial nature of this road just makes for some stunning scenes!

Sunnybrae Wedding Reception

Linda and Jonathon’s wedding reception look place at the SUnnybrae Coach House, withis is a huge, rustic space suited for large wedding parties with a delightful old-time flair that sets the mood nicely!

The evening was fun to be a part of, complete with mirror photobooth, and a gelati stand for guests everyone had a great time, and even coaxed the DJ to play a few more songs after closing time!

I managed to take Linda and Jonathon around the Sunnybrae grounds for some night time shots too which I thought turned out pretty spectacular! But not as spectacular as Jonothan serenading Linda on the dance floor a bit later in the night!

The whole day was perfectly ended by a delightful sparkler send off with all Linda and Jonathon’s guests lin=ing the walkway with sparklers in hand.
