Family moments are precious, and what better way to celebrate them than with a beautiful family photoshoot? Recently, I had the pleasure of capturing a family shoot at the stunning Serafino Wines in McLaren Vale. This picturesque location provided the perfect backdrop for a memorable day, filled with laughter, joy, and a touch of nature’s magic.
Serafino Wines, with its sprawling vineyards and serene lake, is a dream setting for any photographer. The early morning clouds created a soft, diffused light that was perfect for photography. We initially planned to start early to avoid the harsh midday sun, but the overcast sky turned out to be a blessing in disguise. It kept the temperatures cool and made everyone feel comfortable, especially the little ones.
The occasion was a special one – the grandparents’ 50th wedding anniversary. This milestone brought the entire family together, and what better way to commemorate it than with a family photoshoot? From grandparents to grandkids, everyone was excited to be part of this special day. The energy was infectious, and it was clear that this family shared a deep bond and a lot of love.

When Kara and Patrick chose me to be their wedding photographer, I knew we were in for a special treat. The venue they picked, Mt Crawford’s Old School House, is a hidden gem that perfectly encapsulates the rustic charm of the Adelaide Hills. This historic location offers a unique blend of history and natural beauty, making it an ideal spot for a romantic and memorable wedding. You can also explore Kenton Park. The Old School House, with its quaint architecture and serene surroundings, provided the perfect backdrop for Kara and Patrick’s big day.
The ceremony began with a unique twist. Instead of the traditional first look, Kara and Patrick opted for a “first touch” around the corner of the Old School House. This intimate moment was filled with anticipation and excitement, as they held hands and exchanged a few whispered words without actually seeing each other. It was a beautiful way to start their journey, and I could feel the love and connection between them even from behind the lens.
Mt Crawford’s Old School House Wedding Ceremony
The ceremony itself took place just a short distance from the Old School House, in a picturesque grove of towering trees. The autumnal leaves created a stunning canopy of reds, oranges, and yellows, casting a warm glow over the entire scene. Kara arrived in style, making her grand entrance in a vintage VW Kombi. This classic vehicle added a touch of nostalgia and fun to the day, perfectly complementing the rustic vibe of the venue.
As the ceremony began, the priest gave a gentle warning about the crunchy leaves underfoot, which added a charmingly natural soundtrack to the proceedings. Kara and Patrick exchanged their vows beneath a homemade arbour crafted from sticks, a testament to their love and creativity. The personal vows they shared were heartfelt and moving, leaving not a dry eye among the guests. The combination of the natural setting and the couple’s genuine emotions made for a truly unforgettable ceremony.

We made sure to keep things light-hearted and fun, ensuring everyone felt relaxed and enjoyed the moment.

After the glamour photos, we headed to Gumeracha for the reception. The private property chosen for this part of the celebration was nothing short of spectacular. The centerpiece was a delightful rustic old barn with a massive wooden door that made for some fantastic photo opportunities. The barn’s weathered textures and warm tones provided a cozy and inviting atmosphere, perfect for an intimate and joyous celebration.
The reception itself was a feast for the senses. Kara and Patrick decided to go with a gourmet toastie bar, a unique and delicious choice that was a hit with all the guests. The variety of flavors and the comforting warmth of the toasties added a fun and casual element to the evening. As the sun set, the barn was lit up with fairy lights, creating a magical ambiance that set the stage for heartfelt speeches, laughter, and dancing.

Tracey and Kaeden’s wedding at The Manor Basket Range was nothing short of enchanting. Set against the backdrop of the beautiful Adelaide Hills, their special day was filled with joy, laughter, and a touch of magic. It was a delightful midweek day in April, where the grounds were painted with the rich, warm hues of autumn. The Manor’s historic charm and stunning gardens provided the perfect setting for this unforgettable celebration of love.
We arrived a bit earlier than planned, even though we were initially asked to start at the ceremony. The opportunity to capture some pre-ceremony moments with Tracey and her bridal party was too good to pass up. The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement and anticipation as Tracey and her closest friends prepared for the big day. The bridal suite was a flurry of activity, with hair, makeup, and laughter filling the air. Tracey’s radiant smile and the twinkle in her eyes spoke volumes about her happiness.
Pre-Ceremony
The pre-ceremony moments are always a favorite to capture. There’s something truly special about the bride and her bridesmaids sharing these last few hours before the wedding.

It was a beautiful sight to behold, with delicate details that made it a masterpiece.

The ceremony took place in front of The Manor’s charming little chapel, a picturesque spot that seems straight out of a fairy tale. As the guests settled into their seats, an air of anticipation filled the venue. Kaeden stood at the altar, his excitement palpable. The moment he saw Tracey approach, his joy was unmistakable. He was practically bouncing on the balls of his feet, his grin wide enough to rival any Dr. Seuss character.
Tracey walked down the aisle with grace and poise, her dress shimmering in the sunlight. The couple’s heartfelt vows were a highlight, filled with emotion and sincerity.
