Adelaide Hills Wedding at the Manor – Shae & Dion

An Adelaide Hills wedding at The Manor Basket Range is always a stunning experience, and Shae and Dion’s celebration perfectly captured the venue’s charm, history, and rustic elegance. Surrounded by lush greenery and rolling hills, their wedding felt like a fairytale come to life. The soft cloud cover added a magical glow, making each moment of their Adelaide Hills wedding at The Manor feel even more romantic and unforgettable.

I’ve been fortunate enough to capture countless weddings at The Manor Basket Range, but Shae and Dion’s celebration was a unique experience for me. Their ceremony took place in the venue’s lower event area, a more intimate space filled with character and warmth. It felt cozy and inviting, perfect for the personal, heartfelt ceremony they had planned. The atmosphere was full of excitement, love, and just the right amount of nerves, creating an energy that carried throughout the day.

Preparation

Dion and his groomsmen had a lively start to their day. Located at one end of The Manor’s grand castle complex, the boys took full advantage of the relaxed vibes in the air. Laughter echoed through the stone walls as they dressed and shared jokes, keeping the mood light. The star of the show, however, was the couple’s page boy, who stole everyone’s heart with his adorable antics. The groomsmen were utterly charmed, making sure he was entertained with phone snippets and plenty of attention while they finished preparing.

Ready to meet the love of his life at the aisle, Dion’s excitement was palpable. Even with all the playful banter, there was an undercurrent of emotion, adding depth to an already incredible start.

Meanwhile, Shae’s preparation had its share of excitement and little hiccups. In the main keep, the bridal suite buzzed with activity. The stunning room provided the perfect backdrop for Shae and her bridal party to get ready, but not without a few twists. At one point, there was a slight panic when the rings couldn’t be located. Thankfully, they were found in time, but it added a bit of drama to the morning. And let’s not forget the flower girl, who had her own opinion on getting dressed! A tiny bit of stress crept in, but Shae’s bridal party was incredible, rallying around her to keep her spirits high.

As the morning unfolded, everything came together beautifully. Shae looked absolutely radiant in her gown, and with a little liquid courage and the thought of walking down the aisle to Dion, any worries melted away. The energy shifted to excitement, with smiles and laughter filling the room. With her hair perfectly styled and makeup set, Shae was more than ready for the day. The warmth and love from her bridal party helped set the tone for the beautiful ceremony ahead.

First Touch and Look

One of the sweetest moments of the day was the first touch between Shae and Dion. Standing abreast of the main keep’s grand door, the two held hands while sharing a shot of tequila. It was a playful, fun twist on the classic ‘first look‘ without actually seeing one another. Dion whispered sweet words, careful not to mess up Shae’s makeup as emotions brimmed just beneath the surface. That simple gesture set the tone for the ceremony that was to follow—one filled with love, connection, and shared memories.

Shae’s first look with her dad was equally touching. As she stepped out of the front door, her dad’s eyes welled with emotion. It was a moment of pure love, and the hug they shared spoke volumes about the bond between them. You could feel the depth of their relationship, the pride in his eyes as he saw his daughter in her stunning bridal gown. These personal moments are the ones that truly make a wedding day unforgettable.

The Manor Basket Range Engagement Shoot – Sam & Wayne

Sam and Wayne’s The Manor Basket Range Engagement Shoot was nothing short of magical! As a photographer who’s shot around 10 weddings here this year alone, I know every nook and cranny of this historic castle-like venue. But this shoot had something special—a quiet, almost serene atmosphere as Sam and Wayne had booked a room for a public holiday. With no weddings on that day, they had the entire place to themselves, creating a uniquely intimate experience for their engagement photos.

It’s rare to see The Manor so quiet. Usually, it’s bustling with wedding guests, vendors, and celebrations, but on this day, it felt like their own private castle. The only slight hiccup was not being able to fully access the iconic Romeo and Juliet balcony. But with a bit of clever positioning and perhaps a little post-editing magic, we still captured stunning moments that made it feel as if the whole venue was at their disposal. The weather played along perfectly, too, with a soft golden light filtering through the clouds, giving us that dreamy, glowing backdrop photographers love!

Taking Advantage of Golden Hour

We started the shoot in one of my favourite spots at The Manor—behind the chapel in the garden. The sunlight was at just the right angle, peeking through the trees and casting a warm, golden glow over the couple. The way Sam and Wayne looked at each other, bathed in that soft light, was pure magic. You could feel their connection through the camera. It’s moments like these that make engagement photography so rewarding.

After soaking up the garden vibes, we wandered towards the front of the castle. The grand stone architecture framed Sam and Wayne perfectly, making them look like royalty for a day. The timing couldn’t have been better—the sun continued to dance between clouds, casting everything in a light that photographers dream about. Sam’s smile, Wayne’s relaxed demeanor—they were a perfect fit for this timeless location.

A Picturesque Stroll Through The Orchard

Next on our agenda was a stop at The Manor’s orchard, which was in full bloom. The pops of fresh white blossoms against the deep greenery made for some incredibly romantic photos. Sam was absolutely glowing in her dress as she walked through the rows of trees hand-in-hand with Wayne. The atmosphere was calm, almost ethereal, and you could feel the love and anticipation for their future wedding.

Sam and Wayne were naturals in front of the camera, needing very little direction. Their joy and love for each other shone through every shot. The blooming orchard not only provided a stunning visual backdrop but also added a sense of fresh beginnings—perfect for an engagement shoot. And with Wayne making Sam laugh between shots, it was easy to capture their candid moments that truly tell the story of their relationship.

A Dramatic Outfit Change: The Black Dress

After spending some time in the orchard, Sam did a quick change into a striking black dress, bringing a whole new vibe to the shoot. The contrast between the classic, soft colors of the surroundings and her bold outfit choice made for some dramatic and memorable shots. The Manor’s stone walls and grand architecture created the perfect setting for this darker, more modern look.

We used the castle’s winding staircases, stone archways, and shadowy corners to capture a different side of Sam and Wayne’s personalities. The black dress added an element of sophistication and mystery to the photos, contrasting beautifully with the more casual, joyful vibe from earlier in the day. Sam’s confidence in this outfit was radiant, and Wayne couldn’t keep his eyes off her!

The Manor Wedding Ceremony

The Manor wedding ceremony was a dream come true, even with a sprinkling of rain just as things got started. The drizzle only added to the atmosphere, and as it lightened up, the magic of the moment took over. The couple’s children brought an extra layer of cuteness to the ceremony, eager for cuddles from Mum and Dad as they exchanged vows. Watching them sneak in for hugs between Janine and Darryl’s legs was heart-melting. It was those little moments that made the day feel so personal and intimate.

As Janine and Darryl walked down the aisle as newlyweds, they were showered in a sea of bubbles – a fun and unique twist on the traditional confetti toss. The soft rain combined with the bubbles created a whimsical scene straight out of a fairytale. And then, before the rain could return, we managed to squeeze in some group photos with family and friends, making sure everyone’s joy was captured in the misty light that now blanketed The Manor’s stunning grounds.

For the adults, there was a spirited treasure hunt, which kept the guests on their toes. And then, of course, the dance floor – it was packed all night long!

Celebrating love amidst the enchanting backdrop of The Manor in Basket Range is always a magical experience. Jasmine and Rikki’s wedding day might have started with a bit of rain, but that only added to the charm and intimacy of their beautiful celebration. Nestled in the picturesque Adelaide Hills, The Manor provided the perfect setting for a memorable wedding day, even with the weather’s little surprises.

Jasmine and Rikki’s wedding was initially planned to take place in front of the charming little chapel on site. However, with the rain coming down, a last-minute change saw the ceremony moved to the undercover area in front of the smaller function room on the lower level. This adjustment didn’t dampen the spirits one bit; instead, it brought everyone closer together, creating a cozy and intimate atmosphere that was simply perfect for such a special occasion.

Preparation
