Jessica and Jack’s wedding at the Serafinos Winery in Mclaran Vale was an incredible day to photograph – filled with insanely photogenic locations and people it made the entire day incredibly easy to photograph! I was asked to cover their wedding as their wedding photographer from start to finish, and I’m so glad they did as some of the photographs I took on their day just turned out incredibly.
Preparation
The day started in Mt Barker, where Jack and his entourage were being prepared at his parents house that happened to be on a farm. It was a wonderfully furnished house, complete with an amazing driveway which we utilised for some group shots. The atmosphere was fairly laid back with Jack’s boys keeping the whole morning as light hearted as possible.
Jessica was being prepared a lot closer to Serafinos, in a stunning Aldinga bed and breakfast called Maison Blue. The setting was perfect for a bridal preparation,. it’s an amazingly beautiful house – as soon as I walked up the stairs and saw Jessica’s wedding dress hung over it’s amazing arch window, I was amazed. The girls, like the boys kept their morning quite light hearted, with the only concern coming from Jess once the unfortunate drizzle of rain began just before they were about to leave for Serafinos.
Serafinos Wedding Ceremony
The Serafinos winery is a popular wedding venue in Mclaren Vale, complete with all the charming aspects of a winery, along with an absolutely stunning ceremony location in front of a huge lake beyond a huge gum tree which served as a backdrop for Jess and Jack’s ceremony.
The only unfortunate thing that occurred during the whole day was a bit of rain that fell at the beginning of their wedding ceremony, but other than that little mishap – which many people consider to be good luck at a wedding anyway – The ceremony went off without a hitch.
Serafinos Glamour Photos
Directly after Jess and Jack’s wedding ceremony, and family photos taken nearby the tree they were married under, the bridal party, their videographer and I took a little walk about the grounds. As it was a fairly overcast day the lighting was absolutely perfect for glamour photos! I really enjoyed myself and I think their photos turned out amazingly.
Serafinos Wedding Reception
Jess and Jack’s wedding reception took place in the wonderfully decorated reception hall on location at the Serafinos winery which allowed for a huge dance floor and seating for their entire guest list. The highlight for me was definitely their first dance. The backdrop of the barrels along the the head table and dry ice machine made for an amazing shot.
I’d like to thank Jess and Jack for having me do their wedding photography – I really enjoyed myself and I hope they enjoy their photos as much as I enjoyed taking them!
Alex and Jason travelled from Victoria in order to hold their wedding at the glorious Coriole Vineyard in Mclaren Vale. The day turned out to be a absolutely stunning, sunny day filled with loving people at a marvellous location. The Coriole Vineyard has always been a favourite of mine as the location offers a wonderful variety of locations to take photos.
Preparation
The day started with the photographing of the groom and his groomsmen. As usual I was a little early so I surprised Jason a bit as he was still lounging about in his dressing gown but that’s great as I managed to capture all aspects of the boys getting ready.
Both Jason and Alex were being prepared at a nearby bed and breakfast, but in separate bungalows. The setting provided for some beautiful light seeping through the windows. When Alex arrived from having her hair done, I diddn;t have to try too hard to produce some stunningly sentimental photos of her getting ready without getting too hands-on.
Coriole Vineyard Wedding Ceremony
Coriole has a number of different locations suitable for holding a wedding ceremony. Jason and Alex opted to make use of the large grassy area to the side of the main house, with the large pretty tree as the backdrop. Often people choose to use the vineyard vista as a backdrop, while yet others choose to hold their ceremony within the coriole courtyard. Just to the right of their ceremony was the wonderful vistas of Mclaren Vale.
It was a little unfortunate that during the ceremony the wind picked up quite a bit, causing Alex’s veil to blow out of her hair as she was walking up the aisle, and also caused a bit of trouble with the hair – but this diddn’t dampen any spirits! During their ceremony they held a wonderful crowning ceremony and shared a glass of wine to symbolise their binding in marriage.
Glamour Photos
After the group photos, we walked around the Coriole vineyard for a short while, making use of the scenery for some lovely shots. It was such a sunny day that I was really trying to use it to create a sunny, ethereal feel to the photos.
Reception
Alex and Jason made use fo the newly renovated Coriole reception area for a sit-down style wedding reception. The night was complete with heartfelt speeches and a tonne of cultural dances. It was an amazing night.
Thanks so much to Jason and Alex for having me as their wedding photographer and I hope you enjoy your photos! 🙂
