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!

The photobooth also had a good workout all night, capturing silly and heartfelt moments that the couple and their guests will cherish forever.

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.

The tree-covered driveway served as a natural canopy, casting dappled sunlight on the group as they struck playful poses and shared heartfelt laughs.

With the serene vineyards and picturesque scenery as their backdrop, they reveled in the joy of the moment, making memories that would last a lifetime. The laughter and camaraderie of the wedding party filled the air

Adelaide’s Pilgrim Uniting Church Wedding – Jesse & Luke

Adelaide’s Pilgrim Uniting Church Wedding – Jesse & Luke

I was very much looking forward to covering Jesse and Luke’s Pilgrim Uniting Church Wedding from the moment they asked me to be their wedding photographer, and my excitement was well founded – what a celebration it was!

So much so that I know it’s hard to show while reading this blog but I’ve been sitting here staring at my screen thinking about what next to write. Jesse and Luke were surrounded their entire day with loving family and friends who just made their day that much better – let alone the incredible celebration they had planned that night!

Preparation

Jesse and Luke were prepared in separate rooms at the Hilton Hotel, in sight of the Pilgrim Uniting church across Victoria Square in the center of the Adelaide CBD. This was great as I was able to flit inbetween their rooms while they were being prepared – if things weren’t progressing in one room, then I’d head over to the other, and visa versa until it was time to leave for the ceremony.

Both Jesse and Luke were prepared with their parents and their entourage which made the whole time kind of hectic, but also quite a bit of fun trying to get everything ready to go.

Pilgrim Uniting Church Wedding Ceremony

Jesse and Luke’s Adelaide Pilgrim Uniting Church wedding ceremony was quite an impressive sight with it’s albiet dark, but impressive architecture inside. Jesse and Luke also had a chior singing below the church’s impressive organ which made for a beautiful atmosphere!

Both Jesse and Luke were walked down the aisle separately with their mothers after their fathers had lit ornamental candles on the church’s altar which I thought really helped bring both families togetheras part of their ceremony involved Jesse and Luke sharing the flames into one candle.

readings were read, vows were shared and Jesse and Luke were married!

The weather wasn’t the best all day, so we were quite lucky to be able to have the entire congragation out on the church’s steps for a group photo before heading back inside for smaller group photos.

Once they were done, we used the stunning interior of the church for a few shots with their entourage, while also waling around the church a bit to use it’s wonderful architecture. As the weather wasn’t great I was delighted to see that the church had turned on it’s outside lighting earlier than usual, so we got an awesome glow coming out of the archways at the front – was fun to use.

We then sped over to the Adelaide Railway station for a few photos, while dodging all the Crows fans who were walking through to get to Adelaide Oval at the same time.

Finally during the reception, and in the rain we head out to Victoria square to use the pretty lighting thats set up!

Adelaide Hilton Wedding Reception

Jesse and Luke’s wedding reception at the Hilton was certainly one to remember! Huge chandeliers framed the gigantic cake they had set up in front of the head table, fireworks flamed into life during Jesse and Luke’s entrance and first dance, and to top it all off a 19 piece band was playing all night as entertainment! In their own words their wedding theme was ‘gaudy’!

What made me crack up was a quip from Jesse that even the cake wasn’t straight – and indeed it wasnt, as it was leaning offto one side due to it’s enormous size!

Their whole night was full of plenty of drinking, fun and dancing, culminating in the throwing of bears that held a likeness to Jesse and Luke in liew of any bouquet toss.

Cruising Yacht Club of SA Wedding – Emily & Angel

    Cruising Yacht Club of SA Wedding

    Walking together under Grange jetty

Emily and Angel held their lovely intimate wedding ceremony at the the Cruising Yacht Club of SA. The prestige of this venue is apparent as soon as you arrive as you’re surrounded by multi million dollar yachts in a stunning location! I was asked to be their wedding photographer for a few hours, seeing me with them for their preparation, through to the first parts of their early reception dinner.

Preparation

Emily and Angel chose to be prepared on the same location, together at a property not far from the Cruising Yacht Club. The atmosphere was reasonably laid back with family and freinds also on site fussing about, preparing lunch, or getting ready while watching a Chinese action movie on the TV in the background. I was treated to some scrumptous home made food while there, and it was very much appreciated!

As Emily and Angel were being prepared at the same lcoation they could share makeup artists and hairdressers, without having them travel to multiple locations in the morning – this made everything run much smoother than what I have experienced in the past, and everyone was ready to leave, and head to the ceremony quite early.
