Whyalla Golf Club Wedding – Tayla & Stuart

    Whyalla Golf Club Wedding

It’s always a bit of fun heading out for a road trip to cover a wedding in a corner of the world I had barely explored in the past – and Tayla and Stuart’s Whyalla Golf Club wedding was one such occasion!

Tayla and Stuart were wed surrounded by their delightful family and friends while also hosting both my wife and myself as their photographer and videographer for their big day. And what a day it was!

Preparation

We began the day actually going to visit Tayla and her bridesmaids as they were being prepared in the Whyalla Foreshore discovery park, which was where we were also staying – so we figured we’d pop in to say hello before moving on to Stuart’s place of preparation just up the road.

Stuart and his two groomsmen where being prepared in a house alongside quite a few of his family. We primarily stayed at the front of the house with the large, open window and doorway that allowed for some natural light to stream through, while we also made use of the road and front of the house itself.

Stuart and his groomsmen were avid gamers so, we made sure to have a bit of fun with some controllers, despite not actually being in front of a TV!

Tayla and her bridal party were being prepared in one of the caravan park’s cabins, so there wasn’t a huge amount of space to use – but after a little bit of reorganising of furniture and some creative use of angles we got some lovely shots of the girls getting ready.

The highlight of the morning was the emotion from two ‘first looks’ from both Tayla’s Mother and Father, which is always nice to witness!

Whyalla Golf Club Wedding Ceremony

Tayla and Stuart’s Whyalla Golf Club Wedding ceremony took place alongside the club house, on a bit of grass a short walk away from the car park. Thankfully there was a nice tree there to shade their ceremony as otherwise the sun would have been quite harsh!

Their wedding ceremony was lovely and simple, with Tayla and Stuart opting to have their vows read by their celebrant, then they repeat to each other – that way they need not have to actually remember what to say!

Glamour Photos

After the group photos – which there were many – we made use of the remaining time to first walk around the Whyalla Golf & Bowling Club and capture the dying light throughout the fairways, and then we head to the famed Ada Ryan Gardens – where I was told it was a right of passage for all people in Whyalla to climb the beautiful trees on display here.

It was such a lovely park with it’s huge Moreton Bay fig trees that I had an absolute ball using the sunlight shining through and creating some lovely scenes!

Westlands United Wedding Reception

Tayla and Stuarts wonderful day came to a close after their wedding reception which they held at the Westlands United Soccer Club – which just happened to be right next door to the Foreshore Discovery Park. Tayle and Stuart put quite a bit of effort into decorating the clubrooms, as otherwise the walls would be plastered with the red and black colours of the club – but instead the space was transformed into an elegant, white wedding space that made for a lovely atmosphere!

Sedan Lutheran Church Wedding – Kirsty & Andrew

    Sedan Lutheran Church Wedding

It was a stunningly sunny day for Kirsty and Andrew’s Sedan Lutheran Church Wedding. The small town of Sedan, near Renmark in the South Australian Riverland was the setting for this fun wedding where everyone just seemed to want to have a good time! I was asked to be their wedding photographer for their preparation through to the beginning of their reception, so lets jump straight into it shall we?

Preparation

I began the day at Kirsty and Andrew’s new house nearby the town of Sedan. I was quite excited to see some awesome gum trees on the horizon and rolling golden hills that I was hoping to use later in the day for their wedding photos.

Kirsty and her bridal party were being prepared here, and the atmosphere was quite laid back, with Kirsty more worried about where her boots were than any nerves she might have been feeling due to her being married a bit later.

As they had just moved into their new home, it was quite a neat thing to have the entire front room quite free in order to use while putting on the wedding dress – made taking photos that much easier! 🙂

Andrew and his groomsmen were getting ready in another farm house nearby, but this spot had some very nifty old ruins, which of course I made use of in the short amount of time I had with the boys. One thing I found very co-incidental is that Andrew and his boys were enjoying some clay shooting prior to me arriving for their photos, which I had only ever seen for the first time at the wedding I covered just the week prior! Is this a new trend? 😀

Sedan Lutheran Church Wedding

You simply cannot miss the Sedan Lutheran Church as it towers over the rest of the small town with it’s huge steeple and traditional small town church styling. It’s also located right on the intersection of 4 roads that lead into the center of town. The church itself is a bit on the small side, with only a single aisle leading through the middle of the church. As it was a reasonably hot day, it was a struggle for some guests to stay cool – but it wasnt overly stifling. One neat feature of the inside of the church is the ability for some guests to venture to the upper level – I got some neat shots from up there.

Kirsty and Andrew’s Sedan Lutheran Church Wedding was presided over a priest who was friend of the couple and began with the tolling of the church’s bells, which I dont see very often! It was a reasonably simple ceremony with a number of readings from guests and blessings from their priest.

One great thing about church weddings like this is when the bride and groom exits out the front, and if the guests are keen to help – I can tee up a fun shot of everyone throwing the rose petals over the couple – which of course I did!

Glamour Photos

After the required group photos out the front of the church, we head back inside of the church in order to take a few glamour photos using the pews and interior a little before heading out to the Renmark foreshore to make use of the greenery there. My favourite glamour photos from Kirsty and Andrew’s Sedan Lutheran Church Wedding though were taken on a portion of Kirsty and Andrew’s family land.

We drove to a spot where there was a ruin of an old cottage and barn which we made use of for some great shots, before moving to the nearby hills which I had a lot of fun flying over with my drone! We finished off in amongst the lovely gum trees growing out of a dry creek bed nearby.
