Sunnybrae Estate Pavilion Wedding – Ritamaree & Sydney

    Sunnybrae Estate Pavilion Wedding

    Crozier st wedding photo

Ritamaree and Sydney’s wedding in mid November was certainly one to remember! Fireworks, ‘fun’ weather and lovely people all combined to produce an amazing wedding day which was really a delight to be a part of!

They held a Sunnybrae Estate Pavilion Wedding ceremony as their first choice of venue, on the grass with the square arbour was unfortunately ruled out due to weather, but this was really the only set back during the whole day which certainly never phased this lovely couple!

Sydney’s Preparation

Sydney was preparaed with his groomsmen in a room of the stunning EoS by SkyCity hotel overlooking the Adelaide Oval. The room they had was wonderfully airy and light, while we also made sure to use the stunning lobby of the hotel and even the carpark entrance for some industrial-themed shots which Sydney was a big fan of!

Ritamaree’s Preparation

Ritamaree had a bit more going on at her place of preparation – her parent’s house along side quite a few of her family and friends! They had a bit of a luncheon going which made for some lovely scenes with all members of her family.

It was quite fun to have not only a wedding dress first look with Ritamaree’s Dad and Brother, but also the majority of her bridal party hadnt seen the dress either! So we got some lovely emotions when they walked in and saw her looking radiant in her stunning dress! Not to mention the hundreds of other guests as she walked down the stairs!

We needed a bit of photoshop magic to get the cork on their champagne bottle to pop, and the bridal motorcade was running a bit behind time, but it was all smiles on Ritamaree’s face as she seemed to really enjoy the time before her big moment at Sunnybrae!

Sunnybrae Estate Pavilion Wedding Ceremony

While the weather wasn’t overly bad during their Sunnybrae Estate Pavilion wedding ceremony, Ritamaree and Sydney erred on the safe side by having their ceremony indoors rather than the original plan outside. The weather over the last few weeks was certainly not easy to forecast!

This meant that their ceremony was held in front of the wide windows overlooking the grassy field to the side of the Sunnybrae Estate.

Their ceremony itself was a nice, simple ceremony with heartfelt vows that made everyone laugh and get to know this lovely couple a little better, before exiting under petals and hugs and kisses outside under the pergola.

We did however head over to the original ceremony location for a group photo with the drone, then smaller group photos nearby the grass.

Glamour Photos

For glamour photos, we first used as much of the Sunnybrae grounds as we could before our time on site was up – which was good as we managed to capture some nature within their wedding photos before heading over to Crozier street in Port Adelaide for more industrial scenes.

Crozier street was certainly a popular spot to be on this particular Saturday as I remember seeing at least 4 other weddings rock up trying to use the area for photos – thankfully we got there first and managed to get all the best scenes!

Donato Reception Center Wedding Reception

The Denato Reception Center was a place I had been to before, but hadnbt been to in many years and I was super exicted to shoot in here again! Ritamaree and Sydney made the most of the stunning sunken dancefloor and filled it with fireworks and dry ice for their first dance, while also playing some fun games to get people up for their bouquet and garter tosses!

Sunnybrae Wedding – Kiarnie & Stuart

December 23, 2014/in Wedding, Wedding preview

The 14th of November saw me chosen as Kiarnie and Stuart’s Sunnybrae Function Center wedding photographer. The day’s conditions was pretty much perfect for taking photos, being overcast but not raining, and being blessed with the most boisterous congregation I’ve had the privilege of photographing as a wedding photographer. The day’s format was almost exactly the same as the last time I was tasked to shoot a wedding at the Function Center, complete with beach visit and staying at the Oak’s Embassy for preparation photos, but this time Kiarnie and Stuart were having their ceremony in the pristine grounds. Kiarnie and Stuart opted to take advantage of my full day wedding photography coverage so I was with them right throughout the day from their preparation until the final event at their reception.

I’d like to take this opportunity to give a shoutout to Kiarnie and Stuart’s Videographer who I worked with on this wedding. Joby of Big Day wedding videography was a riot to be around and made the entire day a lot of fun.

Preparation

Both Kiarnie and Stuart were getting ready at the same hotel, but different rooms. As such I spent only around 30 minutes with the boys as they were getting ready before heading up to the girl’s room.

Kiarnie and her bridal party were very organised with personally made gowns, coat hangers and glasses, complete with names and date. Obviously much more keen for photos than the boys and I think they turned out very well.

Sunnybrae Wedding Ceremony

The Sunnybrae Function Center, located in Regency Park, is a sprawling event center capable of hosting multiple functions at once hidden away behind an industrial park. The grounds boast sprawling lawns, rose gardens and wandering peacocks complete with rustic machinery and old buildings. Pretty much perfect for wedding photography. Built in 1882, the grounds are heritage listed and I believe used to be a mill.

As I said before, the congregation at Kiarnie and Stuart’s wedding were very boisterous and I’m sure they got their money’s worth when it came to their drink package, however much that is 🙂

Sunnybrae Estate Wedding – Cristina & Thanasi

    Sunnybrae Estate Wedding

It was a gloriously sunny day for Cristina and Thanasi’s Sunnybrae Estate wedding at the beginning of October!

This lovely couple shared the day with family and friends and their personalities shone like a shining diamond all day! From a George Costanza photoshoot, immaculate grass and dancing all night with plenty of drink – their day was a joy to be a part of!

Preparation

I started the day at Thanasi’s place of preparation after having set up their photobooth at the Sfera’s Function center ready to go for their reception. His entourage were all there too along with Thanasi’s parents and some friends.

The atmosphere was laid back and fun filled where the boys shared some nice liquid courage and even goaged Thanasi into a bit of a risqué Seinfeild-inspired photoshoot which was a bit of fun! We even got to enjoy a bit of Thanasi’s father’s musical skills where he gave s an impromptu solo!

Cristina was prepared similar to Thanasi alongside her bridal party, family and friends, also with a similar laid back attitude to the whole experience.

A part of the birdal party preparation was cracking open a champaigne bottle on Thanasi’s immaculately curated lawn which I hope diddnt harm it much! Certainly looked as though that lawn was a labour of love!

Sunnybrae Estate Wedding Ceremony

Being a photographer at a Sunnybrae Estate wedding is an experience I had not had for a very long time – it’s one of those wedding venues where it’s super popular for a number of different reasons – only to simply not book a wedding there for years and years – in my case it was around 7 years since I last shot a Sunnybrae Estate wedding, and the place had changed quite a bit since then! Funny thing is that I’ve now shot 2 here in the past few months!

The day was super sunny which made for Cristina and Thanasi’s choice of ceremony locations slightly unfortunate as they were forced to look back into the sun all ceremony, but at least their guests were in the shade thanks to the beautiful covering of trees available on the northern side of the ‘Marquee‘ reception venue on the Sunnybrae estate grounds.

Their wedding ceremony was a short and simple one with Cristina and Thanasi sharing vows and their celebrant giving us all some amusing stories of their relationship up until this point.

Glamour Photos

After having all Cristina and Thanasi’s guests  move out to the open grassy area for a drone group photo, and then moving back out of the beating sun for smaller group shots – we then had a bit of a walk around the Sunnybrae grounds for some glamour photos making use of the sun shing through the lovely green foliage on display about the place.

We then head towards the city for a bit of a bite to eat at the fun APOPTECA bar – formally known as ‘the Apothecary’. The surrounds in here made for an interesting backdrop to some of their photos, while also using the famed black doorway of the nearby ‘Draling Building’.

Sferas Function Center Wedding Reception

Cristina and Thanasi’s Wedding reception took place in the Sfera’s Marquee function room, which boasts a huge area for large weddings and is always immaculately decked out with flowing silks, white sheets and general wedding prettyness!

Short of a bit of a hiccup with my photobooth early in the night – which I thank Cristina and Thanasi immensely for their understanding and patience, their night was a blast to be a part of! Ending far too soon with everyone on the dance floor ready to continue on until the early hours of the morning if the venue let them! I very much enjoyed the break out of Shalalala AUFC towards the end!
