Sneakys Wedding – Ash & Michael

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.

Glamour Photos

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.

Ash and Michael’s Sneakys Wedding was truly unique, and as an Adelaide wedding photographer, I was honored to be a part of it. From the preparations to the reception, everything was just perfect. 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!

AlRu Farm Wedding – Rachael & Jason

  • Rachael & Jason

    AlRu Farm Wedding

    Together in the long grass

 

Rachael and Jason went on a week long road trip from Perth with their little fur babies in order to hold their wedding at the stunning AlRu Farm in Northern Adelaide. It’s little wonder why as, combined witht he stunning surrounds fo AlRu Farm and the amazing weather they enjoyed on their day – the whole setting was stunning and made for a wonderful day! I was asked to be their wedding photographer for their day, along with providing my photobooth that was set up for their reception.

Preparation

Both Rachael and Jason were prepared on site at AlRu farm, in the cute little self-contained cottage on site, nestled in amongst the wonderful gardens and wild flowers that were sprouting this time of year. Jason and his groomsmen however had a much shorter amount of time to get ready as they had to juggle puttin finishing touches on their decorations around the venue, and the fact that Rachael and her bridal party were expecting to find the cottage unused and ready for them to get ready.

As I mentioned previously, Rachael andJason brought their little fur babies along with them for their day, so they were present while Rachael was getting ready, trying to catch the ducks and generally just being little puppies. They were an integral part of Rachael and Jason’s day being their ring bearers during their ceremony, along with taking pride of place as a large printed photo near their head table during the reception.

Rachael and her bridal party had a very relaxing preparation, with little to no nerves showing, and everyone just laughing and having a great time right up until the ceremony.

AlRu Farm Wedding Ceremony

AlRu farm has a small, purpose built little grassed area, flanked on all sides by lush vegetation suitable for wedding ceremonies, which is where Rachale and Jason chose to hold their own ceremony. The sun was floating in and out of cloud cover all the while during the ceremony, which made it tricky for me  – but made for quite a diverse range of photos.

Their cermeony was short and sweet, punctuated by heartfelt personalised vows, and of course their little puppies running in and being cute while carrying their wedding rings.

Glamour Photos

For glamour photos, as one might expect when having a wedding at the stunning AlRu farm, we utilised the beautiful gardens for their glamour photos! The gardens on site are pretty much purpose built for wedding photos, with a range of different scenery that just makes taking wedding photography a breeze. Was just a shame we head out a little too late in the evening to catch the sunset over the lake, but we certainly made use of the greenhouse at night, where I lit it up with portable lights and made a stunning scene!

AlRu Farm Wedding Reception

The AlRu farm reception hall on site was where Rachael and Jason chose to hold their wedding reception, decorated all over by personal touches put there by Jason and his groomsmen prior to the day beginning. The hall itself is an old barn-type building, probably used back in the day for storing hay, or processing something, but these days it’s lined with mirrors and makes for a beautifully rustic backdrop for a wedding reception.

The highlight of the night for me was certainly witnessing what would have to be the best coreographed first dance I had seen in a while, which I’m sure Rachel and Jason practiced for months beforehand! They also held a shoe game, and the dance floor was filled all night by guests all having a great time!
