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!

Vine Shed Wedding Ceremony

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.

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.

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.

White Hill Estate Wedding – Catherine & Sean

Catherine and Sean’s wedding was one that was really blessed with increidble weather! The venue of choice was the beautiful White Hill Estate, located in the heart of McLaren Vale. It was a warm and sunny day, perfect for an outdoor wedding.

Preparation

Sean and his groomsmen started their day near the beach at his parents’ house. The natural surroundings provided the perfect backdrop for some outdoor photos amongst the gum trees. The guys were all smiles as they got ready, and you could feel the excitement building in the air. Sean looked handsome in his tailored suit, and his groomsmen looked sharp in their matching attire. They were ready to celebrate in style!

Catherine was getting ready at the house she and Sean had built together in Craigburn. She was surrounded by her bridal party, mum, their pet dog, and their son. It was a heartwarming scene to witness with everyone smiling and flitting about getting everything ready.

The house was filled with natural light, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Catherine’s bridal party helped her get ready, and they all looked stunning in their matching floral gowns. After getting dressed, they decided to take a walk to a nearby park to take some pre-wedding photos.

Unfortunately, things took an unexpected turn when their son accidentally bumped his lip and started bleeding. It was a minor emergency, but everyone was eager not to get any blood on Catherine’s beautiful dress! Luckily, they were able to clean him up quickly and continue on with their day. It was a reminder that sometimes unexpected things happen on your wedding day, but with love and support from family and friends, everything works out in the end!

White Hill Estate Wedding Ceremony

As soon as we arrived, we could feel the excitement in the air. The guests were chatting, laughing and enjoying themselves. The venue was decorated with stunning native floral arrangements. It was clear that Catherine and Sean had put a lot of thought into every detail.

Catherine and Sean’s wedding ceremony took place in front of the lovely pond on site, surrounded by gum trees. This is always an amazingly picturesque backdrop for the exchanging of vows. It was a peaceful and serene setting, perfect for the romantic occasion.

Catherine and her bridal party approached the ceremony walking from the stunning heritage house located at the center of the property, and it was a beautiful sight to see. The house and the pond together created a beautiful and unique atmosphere that made the wedding all the more memorable.

The ceremony took place under a beautiful arbouradorned with flowers. Catherine looked stunning in her lace gown, and Sean was dashing in his tailored suit. As they exchanged their vows, there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. The love between these two was palpable.

After the ceremony, the happy couple hopped made the ost fo their amazing set of muscle cars for their wedding photos. It was a unique and fun way to capture some memorable moments. The cars made for a stunning backdrop for some of their photos.

Next up, we headed over to the nearby vineyards to take some more photos. The rows of grapevines created a picturesque setting, and the couple looked stunning against the greenery. We captured some intimate moments between Catherine and Sean, and it was clear that they were deeply in love – even though I once made them walk far too far as they couldnt hear us shouting at them from a distance! 🙂

As the sun started to set, we moved to a nearby field. The wide open space and golden hour lighting made for some truly stunning photos. Catherine’s dress billowed in the breeze, and Sean looked dapper in his suit. They danced and twirled as I captured some breathtaking shots both fromt he ground and in the air.

White Hill Estate Wedding Reception

When the light had faded, it was time to head back to the White Hill Estate function room for the reception. The last time I had shot a wedding here was many years ago, and since then they had built a neat deck area with ample room for  quite a large congregation, which was good as the original heritage chaff shed isnt exactly the largest space available.

The room was beautifully decorated with more flowers and candles and the rest of the evening was filled with laughter, food, and dancing. The DJ kept the music going, and everyone had a blast. Catherine and Sean were surrounded by their loved ones, and it was clear that they were having the time of their lives.

As the night came to a close, I couldn’t help but feel grateful to have been a part of such a special day.

White Hill Estate was the perfect venue for their wedding, and the beautiful McLaren Vale scenery made for some truly unforgettable photos.

Chapel Hill Winery Wedding – Sandi & Daniel

Chapel Hill Winery Wedding – Sandi & Daniel

Sandi and Daniel’s Chapel Hill WInery wedding took place on a gloriously sunny day overlooking the vineyards of this picturesque winery nestled amongst the Mclaren Vale wine district. It’s a wedding venue I had not ventured to before Sandi and Daniel’s wedding, despite being very familiar with Mclaren Vale wedding venues, and I certainly enjoyed the experience!

 

Preparation

After having set up the photobooth for later, I met with Daniel and his best man who had opted to make use of a rather convenient little room at the Chapel Hill Winery restreat area – which is also where their wedding ceremony and reception were to take place. It was quite a surprise finding a little self contained unit attached to the main reception hall – but all the more convenient for Daniel!

While Daniela nd his best man were being prepared, they were also able to over see the finishing touches of the florist and other suppliers who were buzzing about setting everything up.

Sandi, along with her mother and maid of honour were being prepared a short walk away at the guest house. It’s neat little set up actually as the bride can walk straght up the walkway and begin the wedding ceremony later on – all very convenient.

The guest house is a large, wooden clad cabin which made for some lovely ambient light bouncing about the place off the wood, while there are some fun spots for photos like the stained glass window within the dining room and the long, dark corridoor where the bedrooms are.

The highlight of the morning was the father’s first look of Sandi as she walked down the stairs!

Chapel Hill Winery Wedding Ceremony

Sandi and Daniel’s Chapel Hill Winery wedding ceremony took place on the grassy area just below the Chapel Hill retreat building, which allowed for sweeping views of the vineyards stretched out over the rolling Mclaren vale hills.

As the day was a very warm, and sunny day – it was a little unfortunate that their celebrant’s PA system overheated shortly after beginning causing some broken audio – thankfully I always have a backup microphone system handy to capture clear audio whenever I can for the video!

Once the mandatory groiup photos were complete, we head out to make the most of the Chapel Hill Winery Wedding photo locations!

I was made aware that we were not able to make use of the vineyards proper – but thanks to some creative angles – nearby the vineyards we can make it looks like the bridal couple are standing amongst them. But I think the killer shot of the entire day was when I brought out the ol’ smoke in a can in front of the Guest House’s window for a bit of a bridal silhouette shot!

We also made the effort to find our way back to the winery cellar door for the proper chapel’s stained glass window area – however unfortunately due to communication errors, we could not find a way in, so we used the outside areas a bit, and also the wine making area.

Chapel Hill Winery Wedding Reception

Sandi and Daniel’s Chapel Hill Winery wedding reception was spear headed by what might be my favourite guest entertainment – which is an on site caricature artist who sits there drawing everyone all night! it’s so much fun to see! Once he left then it was my photobooth’s time to shine!

The night was a blast to be a part of, surrounded by lovely people who just wanted to see Sandi and Daniel have the night of their lives!

K1 Winery Wedding – Mitch & Nick

K1 Winery Wedding – Mitch & Nick

When it comes to weddings, it’s all about celebrating that love in a way that is meaningful and special to the couple. For Mitch and Nick, their wedding day was a dream come true as they embarked on a beautiful journey together.

Their picturesque K1 Winery wedding was nestled in the heart of the stunning surrounds of Kuitpo which is famed for it’s incredible forest and beautiful, hidden surrounds.

Preparation

As the excitement and anticipation built up, Mitch and Nick got ready together at the same house before heading out to Kuitpo forest for a pre-wedding photoshoot. Breaking away from the traditional gender norms of separate preparations, they chose to share this special moment together, cherishing each other’s company as they prepared for their big day.

I had actually met Mitch and Nick in the past at another wedding I had covered a few years earlier! I had obviously done something right at Claire and Nathan’s wedding at Ekhidna Wines for them to have me as their wedding photographer in Mclaren Vale – it’s always nice to hear!

Pre-Wedding Photoshoot

Kuitpo forest, with its towering pine trees and serene atmosphere, provided a breathtaking setting for the pre-wedding photoshoot. The couple’s love shone through as they posed amidst the tall trees, with rays of sunlight filtering through the branches, creating a magical ambiance. The forest became a witness to their love, and the photos captured the pure essence of their relationship – joy, laughter, and unbridled happiness.

Throughout the day I was also having a bit of fun with an old school super 8 camera to produce a short vintage video of Mitch and Nick’s day.

Using a Super 8 camera at a modern wedding adds a touch of nostalgic charm and whimsy to the celebration. In the era of digital photography, where everything is instant and flawless, the grainy, vintage aesthetic of Super 8 film brings a sense of authenticity and uniqueness to the wedding footage.

It can capture the little moments, the candid smiles, the spontaneous dances, and the heartfelt emotions in a way that feels raw and genuine. It’s a fun and creative way to document the day, and watching the footage brings back a flood of memories, reminding the couple and their loved ones of the magical moments that made the wedding day truly special.

K1 Winery Wedding Ceremony

Mitch and Nicks’s wedding ceremony took place at the enchanting K1 Winery, known for its chateau-style cellar door that hangs over a tranquil pond. The winery’s stunning architecture and picturesque surroundings made it the perfect choice for Mitch and Nick’s special day. As they exchanged vows in front of the serene pond, the beauty of their love was reflected in the shimmering water, creating an unforgettable moment.

Their ceremony was punctuated by personal in-jokes, a bit of a fun from the celebrant referencing drag shows and of course the heartfelt vows these two exchanged to one another.

The wedding was not just about the stunning venue and picturesque scenery; it was about celebrating love in all its forms. Surrounded by family, friends, and loved ones, Mitch and Nick’s wedding was a joyous celebration of their relationship, and a milestone in their love story. The air was filled with laughter, tears of joy, and heartfelt speeches as everyone came together to honor and support the couple’s love.
