Lake Breeze Wines Wedding – Cate & Renato

    Lake Breeze Wines Wedding

    lake breeze wines wedding photography

Cate and Renato’s Lake Breeze wines wedding took place on a stunning mid-December day surrounded by family and friends who were all delightful to be around!

cate and renato made use of my ever popular live stream service in order to include guests who could not attend due to COVID travel restrictions and also had my second photographer in tow in order to capture more angles!

cate and renato’s day could not have gone more smoothly – despite a rather unfortunate run in with swarms of mosquitoes while trying to have some photos taken, but we still got some great shots!

Preparation

My day started with Renato and his groomsmen getting prepared at a bed and breakfast in Brighton. It was only Renato and his two groomsmen in the whole house do getting prepared was quite a simple affair, and got ready rather quickly.

A quick group shot on the road out the front and I was off to the girls!

Cate and her bridesmaids were being prepared at another bed and breakfast in Seacliff with a delightful view of the nearby beach from it’s sprawling back patio! Cate’s Mum was also there to help out with the preparations which all occured amidst a lot of fun.

Lake Breeze Wines Wedding Ceremony

Cate and Renato’s Lake Breeze wines wedding ceremony took place on a large piece of grass, surrounded by a scattering of gum trees and backdropped by the vineyards that surrounded the cellar door and function rooms where the reception took place a little later in the day.

It was a little unfortunate that due to the sunny weather that Renato was looking into the sun throughout the ceremony but he was looking at his beatiful bride all throughout to notice much.

Their ceremony was a simple affair with a heartfelt speech or two from family before sealing the deal with a kiss and flower petal showered exit!

After group photos were done, we head off around the grounds to make use of the diverse surrounds that having a Lake Breeze wines wedding affords you and your photographer to make use of! Unfortunately as I mentioned earlier, the further away we ventured down the driveway, the more mosquitoes started attacking Cate and Renato which meant we couldnt stay too long amongst the otherwise delightful gum trees I was looking forward to using in their wedding photos!

After reatreating back towards the ceremony location, we used the vineyards a bit for some shots, and also head out at sunset for more.

Lake Breeze Wines Wedding Reception

The reception area at Lake Breeze Wines is a large, modern space that has obviously had a lot of work doen to it by the owners! The dance floor is lined with wine barrels and the sound system installed in the ceiling is quite impressive – even according to their DJ!

Was a very fun night with plenty of dancing and having fun.

Ten22 Wedding – Julia & Daniel

It was a day filled with love, laughter, and some unexpected twists and turns. My wife and I had the privilege of capturing the beautiful union of Julia and Daniel on their wedding day.

They had planned to exchange vows in the picturesque Adelaide Botanic Gardens, but Mother Nature had different plans. With bad weather rolling in, they had to make a last-minute decision to move their ceremony to Ten22, which was also the venue for their reception, which was certainly convenient!

Preparation

Daniel was getting ready at a house in Reynella East, which was conveniently close to Malbeck Drive Park. We took advantage of the nearby park for a few photos before heading to the ceremony. It was a great spot with plenty of greenery and a relaxed vibe.

Julia was getting ready with her family closer to the city. The entire time spent here was quite relaxed and easy going, with the added bonus of being teared to a delightful lunch put on by Julia’s mother. There was a sense of calm and joy that filled the air. It was the perfect start to a perfect day.

One fun tidbit of trivia is that right at the beginning of my photography career I had met Julia working with Santa Claus at the Myer ‘Santaland’ right when it was a new thing at the Myer center in the city – it was lovely to see her again!

Ten22 Wedding Ceremony

The Ten22 wedding ceremony was an intimate and heartfelt affair. As Julia arrived through the curtains, you could feel the excitement and anticipation in the air. The space may have been a bit cozier than expected, but it added to the warmth and intimacy of the occasion.

As we were also producing a highlight video, it was a bit of a challenge to navigate the smaller space with our video cameras, but we managed to capture every moment beautifully. The vows that Julia and Daniel exchanged were truly heartwarming, and there wasn’t a dry eye in the house. It was a beautiful moment that they will cherish for the rest of their lives.

As a professional Adelaide wedding photographer, you have to be prepared for this weird weather we’ve been having recently, and let me tell you, this day was definitely one that threw quite a few hurdles! Changing venues, the rain, smashing my camera – all in good fun!

Despite the rain, we managed to capture some stunning shots at the old rustic Belair Train Station and the nearby Belair National Park. The gum trees and the occasional appearance of the sun made for the perfect backdrop for some truly magical moments. And as soon as we left the park, the heavens opened up, and the rain didn’t stop for the rest of the night. But you know what they say, rain on your wedding day is good luck! And Julia and Daniel certainly had all the luck in the world on their special day.

Ten22 Wedding Reception

The shed interior of Ten22 is rustic, yet elegant. It had a cozy and warm feeling to it, the atmosphere was just perfect for a small, intimate gathering of loved ones, and as for the food, let’s just say that their ‘sit down’ finger food style reception was an absolute hit! The guests were raving about the delicious bites, and everyone had a wonderful time mingling and chatting with one another.

During the reception, we managed to sneak in a few photos in the alleyway behind Ten22. Yes, it was raining, but that didn’t stop us! In fact, it added a unique and moody element to the shots. We even used some lights and smoke to create some dramatic effects, and the results were absolutely stunning. It just goes to show that sometimes, the best photos come from unexpected situations.

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!

Vine Shed Wedding Reception

Heartfelt speeches from friends and family added to the emotional atmosphere of Kat and Katie’s wedding reception in the stunning reception area on site. The inclusion of a long Chinese cheer was a unique and unforgettable moment that truly brought everyone together. And let’s not forget the dancing! With a live band playing all night long, the dance floor was packed and the energy was electric.

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

Kat and Katie’s Vine Shed wedding was a beautiful celebration of love and commitment. From the stunning venue to the heartfelt moments shared with friends and family, it was a day to remember.

Kuitpo Hall Wedding – Leah & Jarron

I was super excited to head out to the lovely Kuitpo Hall for Leah and Jarron’s wedding in mid February as I had heard stories about how awesome the venue was through my years of being a wedding photographer, but I had never actually covered a wedding there until now. It’s a beautifully little rustic venue, complete with large grassy areas to entertain larger crowds, while also having some of the best photo opportunities just across the road in Kuitpo forest – and boy did we get a great light show for Leah and Jarron’s photos!

 

Before the ceremony

While waiting for Leah to arrive, I was floating about taking detail shots of Leah and Jarron’s set up while also mingling and taking care to be as much of a ninja as possible shooting people enjoying the finger platters and drinks that were already available for everyone. Jarron seemed to keep busy running about greeting everyone while sorting out the final details before Leah arrived.

Kuitpo Hall Wedding Ceremony

Leah arrived in a long black limo a little late, but that’s pretty much expected in this day in age 🙂 Before walking around the back of the Hall, Leah stopped to have a chat with her family and also made sure everyone was in position for her entrance.

Leah and Jarron chose to hold their ceremony in front of the rather eclectic corrugated iron fence that lines the back of the boundary of the Kuitpo Hall’s grounds, meaning there was only just enough room for some chairs and some standing room inbetween the back of the hall and the fence for their congregation. Thankfully their congregation wasn’t on the larger side so it was ample room for all 🙂

I absolutely love heading to Kuipto forest for photos, especially during the time of day we were able to head just up the road to the woodcutter’s cabin. The sun was in the perfect spot to create some beautifully orange lens flares while cascading through the tall pine trees making a scene I was totally nerding out about all the while I was shooting Leah and Jarron’s photos and video. I had a great time 😀

Chapel Hill Winery Wedding – Sandi & Daniel

Chapel Hill Winery Wedding – Sandi & Daniel

Sandi and Daniel’s Chapel Hill WInery wedding took place on a gloriously sunny day overlooking the vineyards of this picturesque winery nestled amongst the Mclaren Vale wine district. It’s a wedding venue I had not ventured to before Sandi and Daniel’s wedding, despite being very familiar with Mclaren Vale wedding venues, and I certainly enjoyed the experience!

 

Preparation

After having set up the photobooth for later, I met with Daniel and his best man who had opted to make use of a rather convenient little room at the Chapel Hill Winery restreat area – which is also where their wedding ceremony and reception were to take place. It was quite a surprise finding a little self contained unit attached to the main reception hall – but all the more convenient for Daniel!

While Daniela nd his best man were being prepared, they were also able to over see the finishing touches of the florist and other suppliers who were buzzing about setting everything up.

Sandi, along with her mother and maid of honour were being prepared a short walk away at the guest house. It’s neat little set up actually as the bride can walk straght up the walkway and begin the wedding ceremony later on – all very convenient.

The guest house is a large, wooden clad cabin which made for some lovely ambient light bouncing about the place off the wood, while there are some fun spots for photos like the stained glass window within the dining room and the long, dark corridoor where the bedrooms are.

The highlight of the morning was the father’s first look of Sandi as she walked down the stairs!
