Adelaide Marriages Registration Office Wedding Ceremony

The simple little chapel on the scond floor of the Birth Deaths and Marriages Office in the city was the backdrop to Dayna and Alex’s little wedding ceremony infront of their family and friends.

I was asked to arrive at 3:30 – so imagine my surprise to see everyone heading into the chapel as I arrived early (as I usually do for just such a situation!) Thankfully their guests were entering the chapel so that they could go behind the doors and do their paper work while we waited for them to be announced.

As with most Marriages Registration Office weddings, their ceremony was short and sweet, which allowed for us to head off for glamour photos that much quicker.

Glamour Photos

Dayna and Alex were staying at the hotel Richmond, so had their car parked across the other side of Rundle Mall. This allowed us to use the delightful Adelaide Arcade for a few photos, along with some choice blank walls while walking to their car for the short drive to the Himeji gardens on south terrace.

I wanted to take some photos of their cute little baby girl who couldnt stop smiling all day, and we certainly achieved that first up! Simplest baby photos I’ve ever taken – she was just super happy to smile the entire time!

The Himeji gardens are always spectacular on sunny days like this was, and as a bonus, they were pretty much deserted allowing us to have the run of the entire gardens! This was really quite convenient as we also had the little one in tow, which meant that she was relegated to her pram every now and again so Mum and Dad could get some couple photos of just them together.

The best thing about the Himeji gardens is how the sun bleeds through ther stunning Japanese foliage allowing for beautiful lens flares if I line up the camera just right. It all worked out beautifully!
