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.

Lot 100 Wedding – Alice & Dion

As an Adelaide Hills wedding photographer, capturing Alice and Dion’s Lot 100 Wedding in Hay Valley was an absolute blast! The day was filled with so much fun and excitement that it seemed to fly by in a flash. Even though I started early in the morning in Myponga and didn’t finish until late at Lot 100, every moment was filled with joy and celebration.

From the exhilarating clay pigeon shooting to the lively German folk dancing, the entire day was a thrill to be a part of. As a wedding photographer, I was able to capture some amazing scenes that truly showcased the love and happiness of the couple. Overall, Alice and Dion’s wedding was an unforgettable experience that I was honored to be a part of as their photographer.

Glamour Photos

A rather unique part of Alice and Dion’s day was the after effects of the large bushfires that were raging on the nearby Kangaroo Island, causing smoke to waft up through the valley and cause the backdrop of most of their photos to be quite hazy. It made it very easy for me to create a beautiful set of wedding photos that really isolate Alice and Dion, but also incorporate the stunning surrounds of their Lot 100 wedding day.

We began their glamour photos using the trees nearby where they had the wedding ceremony set up. I wanted to use the valley as a bit of a backdrop with the bridal party and also use the sun shining through the trees a bit to create an ethreal feel to the shots. We then moved up the hill a bit with the bridal party and took a few more shots on a giant felled tree trunk, which was pretty enat to arrange a group shot like that.

Finally we hopped into their 4 wheel drive and drove around the huge paddock on site, towards a magnificently huge gum treeright in the middle of it all. While doing this I also had the drone flying about as the scenery was absolutely epic from the sky. We finished off by using the small forrest of gum trees situated at the top of a nearby hill, where I was looking forward to again taking shots looking through the trees.

Lot 100 Wedding Reception

The Lot 100 wedding reception area is a beautifully set out restaurant enclosed within a modernly built structure lined with windows all around. The center of the restaurant is the bar where they serve a huge amount of different craft beers and wines. Alice and Dion had their dance floor set up at one end of the area.

A huge standout of their night was the German dancers Alice and Dion had organised to come in and perform for their guests. The dancers made a bit of a mockery of Dion in good spirits while they also demonstrated their skill with some highly complicated dancing and music! Was a sight to see!

Another stand out for me was the fact that their night happened to be on a night with a super full moon, so we made sure to get out and make use of the moon while it wasnt hiding behind clouds. The smoke from the fires also made it a rusty orange colour! Really quite pretty!
