The Manor Basket Range Wedding – Cassie & Danny

    The Manor Basket Range Wedding

Cassie and Danny’s Manor Basket range Wedding was a fun-filled day with plenty of style and beautiful people that were super eager to have a briliant day – and they well succeeded!

The weather was overcast, some fun things wer planned throughout the day, and it was just a delight to be a part of!

Preparation

Both Cassie and Danny were prepared at the Manor’s accomodation, which was super convenient, as directly after setting up their photobooth my wife and I was able to flit in between the groomsmen’s preparation room at one end of the accomodation, and the bridesmaid’s – who were being prepared in the two spare rooms above the main doorway of the ‘castle’ keep.

I was very excited to see that Danny and his groomsmen were sporting tails on theri suit jackets which i thought were super classy and added a huge amount of style to these already good looking young men!

Cassie and her bridesmaids were having a blast getting ready upstairs, with laughter and joyous chatter the background noise for these fun loving ladies!

Both Cassie and Danny had two outfits they wore during the day, so Cassie’s ‘main’ dress was proudly on display using a mannequin, while her reception dress was draped over a doorway.

It was really nice to not only have Cassie’s bridesmaids help out with her getting ready, but both sets of mothers were also there, with Cassie’s mother having the honour of placing her veil in her hair before doing a ‘first look’ with Dad on the Manor’s balcony.

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Ceremony

Cassie and Danny’s wedding ceremony was presided over by Danny’s sister – so the whole thing was not technically legal, but I felt it meant a lot more to involve family like this! They held a quick legal ceremony after, away from the prying eyes of guests.

Their vows to one another were absolutely beautiful, making sure that everyone in attendance had both a smile on their face and tears in their eyes throughout – and Danny topped the whole thing off with a fluorish, dipping Cassie down for a big kiss.

The original plan – as is often the case – was to head over to the nearby ruins of the Deep Creek Bridge, only to recant on the day and realise that there wasn’t much time left to do so. That wasn’t to say that we diddnt get some awesome shots though!

The weather was perfect for a Manor in Basket Range wedding, as the whole place lends itself very well to overcast days. We especially made use of the gardens, and the nearby orchard which just pops in this sort of light!

An amazing addition to Cassie and Danny’s day was an early bouquet toos from a moving car! This was something I had not yet seen, despite havign covered over 350 weddings prior! This is why I love my job as you get to witness awesome things like this, and everyone involved loved it too.

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Reception

Cassie and Danny’s wedding reception started off with a blast – literally from confetti cannons, money guns, and the grand entrance of the bridal couple on a magic carpet! Which was a skateboard on a rope, but was still impressive!

Whew, did Cassie and Danny have some talkers in their guest list! I’m not at all implying that any of the speeches were broing – quite the contrary, laughter fololowed pretty much every sentence!, but wow there was a lot of speeches! Their reception video I put together ended up being over 2 hours long!

The night certainly went by in a quick blur, with my photobooth having a good workout, while all their guests had a grand old time dancing the night way – was great fun!

The Manor Basket Range Wedding – Bianca & Josh

    The Manor Basket Range Wedding

    Manor Basket range wedding photography

Just wow – Bianca and Josh’s Manor Basket Range wedding at the beginning of November was one to remember! The day went absolutely perfectly! The weather, people involved.. just everything came together for a perfect day!

This may be due in no small part that this was a wedding of wedding industry professionals – I certainly felt a bit self concious running about as the wedding photographer (and videographer) at a wedding photographer’s wedding! Not only that too, but there were several other high profile wedding photographers also in attendance as guests, along with several celebrants!

Preparation

I had known about this of course, Josh (of Joshua Huggett Media – you owe me one for the link btw) and I live very close by, south of the city and we tend to bounce ideas off one another all the time, along with Duncan (from Caity and Duncan based in Melbourne – you too). We even spent some time together in Canada earlier in the year shooting some styled wedding shoots together amongst the rockies.

We even convinced Duncan to come along from Melbourne and hold a camera along side my wife and I.

I’ve been very impressed – and to be honest slightly annoyed at how well Josh has gone with his own wedding photography, but qudos goes to him! Certainly didnt make my job any easier, but their day turned out awesomely!

Josh – to his credit knew that he wasn’t the photographer for his day so was very well behaved in this regard – turned into a groom, eager to do anything I asked, including jumping into the backyard pool.

Bianca was being prepared at their family home in Flagstaff Hill, during which their little girl was having a nap, so we all had to be quiet throughout the whole process. The bridal aprty were all in high spirits, having a chat and getting ready before they all relaised we had to get going soon as we were fast running out of time!

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Ceremony

Bianca and Josh’s wedding ceremony took place in the usual spot in front of the Manor Basket Range’s little chapel, and surrounded by friends and family. The weather was slightly cloudy, which meant the sunlight was filtering through the trees off and on throughout.

I’m pretty sure I have never heard such heartfelt vows, made everyone tear up with both Bianca and Josh’s personal efforts, and their little star of a flower girl was icing on the cake throughout.

Then of course there was ‘that’ kiss!

For the glamour photos, we got off to a bit of a rough start with the group photos after the cermeony taking a little longer than expected, so we had to change our plans of heading down to the Deep Creek Bridge for some different shots off site – but that’s ok, you can certainly spend a lot of time just on the Manor Basket Range grounds!

As before, the sun was shinging through the trees intermittantly which sometimes made for some delightful glow in the background of some of their scenes, and I was quite happy to make the most of it!

Towards the end of the night I busted out my smoke in a can and some lights to create some magic within the castle-like exterior of this stunning venue!

The Manor Basket Range Wedding – Kate & John

September 29, 2020/in Wedding preview, Wedding

    The Manor Basket Range Wedding

    bride and groom in amongst the lights

It was such a joy to head back out for a big wedding after having South Australian COVID restrictions ease for weddings! I saw myself at The Manor Basket Range, a majestic wedding venue for Kate and Josh’s wedding on a stunningly sunny day; despite it still being winter!

it was a super fun day to be a part of, and I even met some long lost relatives as it turned out I was actually related to half of the guests somehow! Adelaide is such a small city, and it’s so much fun to meet people and head to weddings because of it!

 

Preparation

The day turned out to be a fairly long one for me, with Kate and her girls requesting I first meet them in Hahndorf while they were having their hair and makeup done early in the morning! Which was fine, it just emant I had to get up ealier 😛

I then head on over tot he bed and breakfast that John and his groomsmen were getting ready. I Unfortuately put my foot in it in the mornign and called John ‘Josh’ so much in the mornign that the boys just ran with it for the rest of the day as they found it pretty funny 😛 Sorry John!

The boys were all pretty laid back, having had a bit of a board game night the night before, and leasurely got ready – until it was time to put on their ties that is. Only one of them knew how to properly tie a tie so that took up most of the time I was there 🙂

The bed and breakfast boardered a farm with some llamas and featured a cubby house which we very much took advantage of.

Once the girls had had their hair and makeup done in Hahndorf, they made their way to the Manor to put on their dresses and take a few shots helping Kate get into her wedding dress.

I made sure to make use of the amazing huge chandelier in the entrance lobby to the Manor to really put a bit of medieval flair to their preparation photos, as after all they were getting ready in a castle! Fun tidbit, the last time I was at a The Manor Basket range wedding was back when it was called Camelot castle.

The girsl got ready without much fuss, and made a point of having Kate’s Dad come in for a bit of a father daughter ‘first look’ as he had not seen his daugher in her wedding dress prior to the day. It’s always a lovely moment to share!

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Ceremony

As a mentioned earlier, The Manor was once called ‘Camelot Castle’ due to the fact that it’s built in the image of a medieval castle, complete with a small stone chaple, snuggled amongst a garden and tall battlements along the top of the manor. In front of the chapel is usually where wedding ceremonies are held, and Kate and John’s was no exception.

One exceptional thing about Kate and John’s The Manor Basket Range wedding ceremony though was Kate’s surprise entrance flanked by 5 medieval knights in full battle armour! Apparently there were supposed to be 6, but one could not make it. They took up position behind the bridal party during the ceremony and formed a guard of hnour as it ended.

Another highlight of Kate and John’s ceremony was their hand fasting, which culminated quite cleverly in a ceremonial ‘tying of the knot‘ to mark their union.

Medieval Tournament

Directly after the ceremony, the knights that formed an honour guard around Kate and John headed towards the grassy area in front of the Manor Basket range’s accomodation area to conduct a short tournament.

Kate was asked to select her ‘champion’ knight and attach her colours in the form of a handkerchief around the arm of her selected knight as what would have happened back in medieval times had a noble woman been watching. In this case it was the bride – the most important lady on the day!

It was a really neat spectical to witness, with the knights from Ironclad Academy really going at it and hitting each other wish some force! They were also really neat sporta about having photos with the bridal party and guests, and I even managed to get in for a shot!

As Kate and John had a bit of a Harry Potter theme going on in their reception, I also phtooshopped a bit of a cheesy Harry Potter photo where they were fending off the knights with magic. Bit silly 😛

We then had some time to meander around the grounds and used the grounds to take some wonderful glamour phtoos of Kate, John and their bridal party.

The best time to take The Manor Bastket range wedding photos I found was certainly towards the end of the day, particularly as it was such a sunny day! The sun hides behind the nearby hills nicely to create quite a magical aura around the grounds to make some beautiful photos!

I also coerced Kate and John outside during their reception to make use fo the unique architecture the Manor offers!

The Manor Basket Range Wedding Reception

As the the COVID restirctions had eased before Kate and John’s wedding in South Australia, there were still plenty of rules to follow so that we minimised the risk of potentially spreading an infection. This included the banning of dancing on the dance floor, and drinking while standing throughout the night.

That being said though, I felt as though all of the guests respected these restrictions and really had a blast of a time anyway! The night really was a lot of fun, and I enjoyed my first large wedding back immensely!

The Manor in Basket Range Wedding – Tori & Aaron

  • Tori & Aaron

    The Manor in Basket Range Wedding

    bride and groom holding one another on the Manor's balcony

The weather was the biggest question mark over Tori and Aaron’s The Manor in Basket Range Wedding ceremony taking place in front of the little chapel they have on site – but it all turned out for the best! The rain held off right up until late at night, which made things perfect for a bit of reflections in their night-time photos!

The overcast weather actually really helped running about the castle as the whole place just came alive in the most delightful way for photos!

Preparation

Despite Aaron and his boys starting to get ready just around the corner from where i live in Aberfoyle Park, Aaron opted to have all his preparation phtos done at the Manor, so we began the preparation photos with Tori and her bridal party being prepared also at the Manor. The plan was to use the two separate empty rooms located above the main entrance to the ‘castle’ keep.

It turned out to be a rather convenient set up actually, allowing us to flit inbetween Tori and Aaron’s preparation without having to wander too far away from the other.

We were able to have Tori’s father help out with Aaron’s tie, also had a little first look of the dress, while even allowing their flower girl’s dolls to make an appearance in some of their photos.
