Aimee and Darren’s Seppeltsfield Wines wedding in the Barossa Valley was nothing short of spectacular. The historic winery, famous for its stunning architecture and lush vineyard landscapes, provided a breathtaking backdrop for their special day. The warmth of the summer sun added an extra glow to the occasion, making every detail shimmer with romance.

Seppeltsfield winery is the heart of the Barossa, a winery synonymous with history and grandeur. The century-old palm-lined avenues, charming stone buildings, and rolling vineyards make it a dream setting for a wedding. Aimee and Darren embraced this timeless beauty, creating a celebration that perfectly blended elegance with the relaxed charm of the Barossa.

Aimee’s Preparation

The morning began at the Barossa Novotel, where Aimee got ready alongside her bridesmaids, her little flower girl, and her mum. Their room, overlooking the inviting blue pool, was filled with excitement and laughter. Given the sweltering heat of the day, that pool looked more and more tempting as the preparations went on! The space was cozy, bustling with activity, and filled with the scent of fresh florals and the hum of last-minute touches.

A beautifully sentimental moment unfolded when Aimee’s dad entered the room for the first look. The emotion on his face spoke volumes—a mixture of pride, love, and a touch of nostalgia. It was one of those raw, heartfelt moments that define a wedding day. With the final spritz of perfume and a last-minute fluff of the veil, Aimee was ready to make her way to the winery for the ceremony.

Seppeltsfield Wines Wedding Ceremony

The courtyard at Seppeltsfield was adorned with white umbrellas, offering guests a welcome reprieve from the sun. The grand doors at one end of the courtyard served as a striking ceremony backdrop, a natural frame for the vows that were about to be exchanged, and the historic stone walls, dappled with ivy, added a rustic elegance that complemented the warm tones of the afternoon light.

Despite the soaring temperatures—so hot my camera began overheating at one point—the ceremony was filled with warmth of a different kind: the kind that comes from heartfelt vows, beaming smiles, and the overwhelming support of family and friends. Short and sweet, it was the perfect length, allowing guests to retreat to the shade while Aimee and Darren basked in the joy of their first moments as husband and wife.

Family Photoshoot in Veale Gardens

A family photoshoot in Veale Gardens is always a dream. This lush pocket of greenery in the heart of Adelaide never fails to provide the perfect blend of natural beauty, soft light, and charming landscapes. This particular session was extra special, as the family had travelled all the way from Alice Springs for a little getaway, and what better way to document their trip than with a morning photoshoot?

The day began with a bit of a hunt for the Pavilion Car Park, but once we found it, the gardens welcomed us with open arms. The golden morning sun filtered through the trees, casting a warm glow that made everything look magical. With a mix of native flora, quaint bridges, and trickling waterfalls, Veale Gardens offers so many stunning backdrops, making it a go-to spot for family portraits in Adelaide.

A Family Adventure in the Gardens

This beautiful family of four brought all the energy, love, and laughter a photographer could hope for. Mum and dad, relaxed and ready to soak in the moment, watched as their two boys explored every nook and cranny of the gardens. The little one was full of curiosity, darting from place to place, completely captivated by the new surroundings. Big brother, the responsible one, took his role seriously, keeping a watchful eye and guiding him along the way.

The boys started the session in adorable denim outfits, which perfectly complemented the natural, earthy tones of the gardens. Their matching khaki outfits later in the shoot added a cohesive look, blending seamlessly with the rich greens and rustic pathways. Coordinated outfits always make a difference in a photoshoot, bringing everything together visually while keeping the focus on the beautiful family bond.

Capturing Childhood Magic

Little ones bring an extra dose of spontaneity to any session, and this shoot was no exception. The youngest was all about adventure, running ahead, stopping to inspect flowers, and gleefully splashing near the water’s edge. His energy was infectious, and the key was letting him lead while capturing those organic, joyful moments.

His older brother played the perfect role of guardian and playmate. Whether it was holding hands as they walked along a garden path, sharing a quiet giggle near the waterfall, or teaming up for an impromptu game of hide-and-seek among the trees, their connection was a delight to photograph. These unscripted interactions are what make family portraits so special—authentic, heartwarming, and full of personality.

Laughter and the occasional flurry of last-minute preparations filled the space.

Their beloved cats played a starring role, adding an extra level of cuteness to the preparations.
