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.

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.

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.

Sneakys Wedding – Ash & Michael: A Beautiful and Unique Day

Weddings are always a special affair that brings together two people who love each other and have decided to spend the rest of their lives together. However, some weddings stand out from the rest and Ash and Michael’s Sneakys Wedding was truly unique.

As an Adelaide wedding photographer, I’ve been fortunate enough to capture many beautiful weddings, but this one was definitely special. From the moment I arrived at the Northern Adelaide wedding venue, I could sense that this was going to be a day to remember – simply editing this wedding was a delight as everything was just perfect!

Preparation

As I made my way to Michael’s best man’s house, where he was being prepared, I was greeted with a warm welcome. The atmosphere was relaxed and jovial, and I could see that Michael and his son were excited for the big day ahead.

The neat little granny flat out the back was the perfect place for Michael to get ready, and after playing some basketball with his son, we captured some beautiful moments of him getting dressed. And what better way to add some flair to the occasion than to borrow a purple muscle car for some pre-wedding photos? Michael and his best man certainly knew how to make the most of their time together before the ceremony.

Meanwhile, at Ash and Michael’s house, preparations were well underway. The girls were having the final touches put on their hair and makeup, and the atmosphere was lively and fun-filled. Ash looked stunning in her wedding dress, and as she prepared for her big moment, we took some beautiful shots of her in the park across the road, where she had a lovely first look with her dad. It was such a heartwarming moment, and I knew that the ceremony was going to be equally special.

Sneakys Wedding Ceremony

Their Sneakys wedding ceremony took place on the large grassy area shaded by gum trees right next to the restaurant, which is a surprisingly beautiful venue! The setting was absolutely perfect for the occasion, and as the guests began to arrive, you could feel the excitement in the air.

The wrestling references in the hilarious vows that Ash and Michael had written for each other were definitely a highlight, and I couldn’t help but laugh as I captured the moment. The sun was shining through the trees behind them, which made for some truly beautiful shots. The only downside was the location of the public toilet block, which was a bit too close for comfort, but it certainly didn’t dampen the mood.

After the ceremony, we headed to the nearby gum tree forest for some glamour photos, and I have to say, this was one of the highlights of the day for me as a wedding photographer. The sun was shining through the trees majestically, and we had a lot of fun popping champagne corks with the bridal party in front of the industrial-style shed wall nearby.

Hosting a Sneakys wedding means you’re able to use quite a variety of backdrops for your glamour photos! The young gum tree forest nearby provided the perfect backdrop for some stunning shots, and I was having a great time capturing all the beautiful moments. As the sun began to set, we headed out into the vineyards for some sunset shots, which were truly magical.

Sneakys Wedding Reception

Their Sneakys wedding reception was a lot of fun to be a part of. As it was a finger food reception, everyone was able to mingle all night, and the taps of the bar were certainly flowing freely all night long!

The speeches were hilarious, and everyone loved the junior bridesmaid‘s speech, which was definitely a highlight of the evening. As the night went on, the dance floor was packed, and everyone was having a great time. It was such a joy to see Ash and Michael surrounded by so much love and happiness on their special day.

The location itself was amazing; Sneakys, a Northern Adelaide wedding venue, was a stunning choice for a wedding.

The couple’s attention to detail was impeccable, and it showed in every aspect of the day. From the carefully chosen decor to the personalized vows, every detail was thoughtfully planned and executed. As a wedding photographer, it’s always a joy to work with couples who put so much thought and care into their special day. It truly makes for a memorable and enjoyable experience!

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!

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.

Vine Shed Wedding – Kat & Katie

Kat and Katie tied the knot in a beautiful Vine Shed wedding located in Mclaren Vale, South of Adelaide. It was a magical day filled with love, laughter, and unforgettable moments. The weather may have been overcast, but that did not dampen the spirits of the lovely couple and their guests!

Preparation

After having visited the Vine Shed to set up the photo booth for later in the evening, I head to Kat’s place of preparation nearby. Kat was prepared at a bed and breakfast called ‘the secret garden‘ which was a neat little studio surrounded by lush greenery which I tried to use to the fullest by placing her bridal outfit and affects withing to take detail photos.

The atmosphere was certainly laid backw ith everyone involved just keen to get on with the party! But not before recreating some important photos such as Kat helping her ‘bridesman’ tighten his tie.

Katie was getting ready on site at the accomodation available at the Vine Shed – which was a small granny flat directly below the owner’s place of residence – a short walk away from the ceremony location.

The best part about this location for getting ready was the close proximity to the vineyard which I made the most of to take photos of Katie’s bridal entourage, including the couple’s fur baby dog and of course the cute kids running about!

Kat and Katie’s Vine Shed wedding ceremony was a true highlight of the day. Two readings from friends added a personal touch to the occasion, while the sugar water ceremony, symbolizing the sweet start of their married life together, was a beautiful touch. Of course, their fur baby dog stole the show, walking down the aisle with them and melting everyone’s hearts.

Glamour Photos

After the ceremony, and group photos – including a fun ‘mark’s up‘ shot with the brides and her AFL football friends; it was time for glamour photos! The happy couple made their way to a nearby pine thicket with great haste as we were chasing the sun shinging through the clouds and the trees.

We also made sure to make use of the vineyards as a stunning backdrop before sourcing a bottle of sparking wine for a ‘spray shot witht he whole bridal party.

Also, despite the threat of rain, they were able to dodge it and get some nighttime photos with lights and smoke, adding an extra layer of magic to their already perfect day!

Vine Shed Wedding Reception

Heartfelt speeches from friends and family added to the emotional atmosphere of Kat and Katie’s wedding reception in the stunning reception area on site. The inclusion of a long Chinese cheer was a unique and unforgettable moment that truly brought everyone together. And let’s not forget the dancing! With a live band playing all night long, the dance floor was packed and the energy was electric.

The photobooth also had a good workout all night, capturing silly and heartfelt moments that the couple and their guests will cherish forever.

Kat and Katie’s Vine Shed wedding was a beautiful celebration of love and commitment. From the stunning venue to the heartfelt moments shared with friends and family, it was a day to remember.
