Melissa & Ash's Country Laura Wedding
Melissa & Ash's Country Laura Wedding
There were record breaking outback rains on Melissa and Ash’s wedding day, but they didn’t let that dampen their special day! With colours of purple and gold they got married in what felt like a big family reuinion. Being 6th generation it was special for Melissa to get married at the Laura Catholic Church, where her family name is remembered in one of the stained glass windows. After a brief dash through the rain they celebrated their reception at the Laura Civic Centre. Sneaking out one last time for photos as the rain eased up in the evening.
Congratulations again Melissa & Ash! x

Alex and Al had a relaxed Summer wedding day in beautiful Port Elliot, climbing over beautiful boulders, hanging out on the jetty, mingling with loved ones and, of course, tearing up the dance floor. What better way to celebrate a beautiful Summer wedding than by the sea?
What a day this was! Certainly not one to forget. And not just because it was beautifully styled, at an amazing venue with awesome people. The weather was intense! While Adelaide was experiencing one of its most terrential storms in a long time we enjoyed sunny skies for a beautiful ceremony. Until… later that night it blew over us. Lightning creating an epic view in the distance for couple photos, and rain blanketing the marquee and reception as everyone danced the night away. It was a relaxed day with chilled out vibes. Just two people in love, showing those they love what they love! Boho styling, pizza, gelato, partying and more.
Amy and Naish had a relaxed and rustic garden themed wedding, with a touch of glamour. They held their ceremony at the Clare Valley Heritage Gardens in the beautiful outdoors with a reception to follow at Sevenhill. A day all about celebrating their marriage with their son and family, all dressed up and looking gorgeous. It was a fabulous day!
Ash and Ryan’s wedding was all about being in the moment. Getting everyone together and celebrating love with family and friends. They had a relaxed yet elegant wedding at Ekhidna Wines, keeping things simple and fun but not missing out on any of those special formalities. From speeches to first dance and bouquet toss, leading into a night full of dancing beneath the festoon lights. It was a perfect day.
As friends of mine, I absolutely adored experiencing Hayley & Stephen’s wedding through Em’s eye. The whole day was fun, easy doing and care free. With a touching first look at the nearby wetlands reserve beneath the beautiful gum trees, before tieing the knot and dancing the night away in the urban dream that is Ten22. What a fantastic day guys! And the biggest congrats to you again! x
In sickness and in health, these two most certainly have each others back. Whilst much seemed to stand in the way of their big wedding celebration Ben and Kelly didn’t let anything stop them from expressing their love for each other and joining their lives together. Their day was a fun celebration of life at all stafes after Covid and cancer. With beautiful blooms, festival style food and a stunning dress that had Kelly looking like an Elven princess. It was the perfect way for them to celebrate being able to spend the rest of their lives together, surrounded by the people that they love and cherish most.
Maddy and Kev had a big, beautiful and very unique wedding at Woodhouse Manor! It may have been a cold and very wet day, but none of the festivities were dampened. Not even the petting zoo! Full of the cutest little animals from baby pigs to height seeking goats. They weaved so many cool elements into their eclectic, maximalist day. Which gave the event a mix of country fair, gaming arcade and nightclub vibes. Best of all was the community feel of the day - everyone was involved. Many guests bringing a dessert to feast on for their blue ribbon table, and many guests staying the night in one of Woodhouse’s numerous bunks. Even Maddy and Kev got to share in that vibe bunking in with all of their guests. It was such a fabulous day!
Abby & Phil planned a relaxed and intimate wedding to share with their friends, family and of course their dog Finley. Excited to spend their day celebrating with everyone, eating pizza, listening to heartfelt speeches and hanging out with their furry friend! Fleurieu Cherries is such a great venue for a relaxed vibe, beautiful views, a round of golf if you fancy, and plenty of space to celebrate and eat good food. I hope you both had the most fantastic day!
Chris and Max had a beautifully relaxed and intimate wedding ceremony at Sinclair’s Gully with their closest family and friends, many who made the journey across the sea from the other side of the world. Sinclair’s Gully is not only warm and welcoming with the perfect relaxed vibe, but also gorgeously Aussie with it’s ghost gum forest and native wildlife. The perfect setting for a perfect wedding celebration.
Alisha and Brandon had a relaxed and fun wedding day at the Adelaide Zoo, creating memories to last a lifetime! From giraffe feedings and tiger feedings to walks around the zoo with little snack bags (lovingly put together for each guest by Alisha & Brandon), heartfelt speeches, delicious cakes and a night filled with dancing. But best of all Alisha & Brandon got to marry their best friend with their family all together for the first time in the one location. Soaking in the beautiful green space of the zoo and enjoying the company of their closest and oldest friends.
Lisa and Daniel had an intimate, elegant and classic wedding in a beautiful backyard in Aldgate. It was easy to capture some lovely portraits for them amongst the trees, hedges and flowers in the garden, as well of plenty of candid and relaxed moments with guests. They followed up their ceremony with a delicious meal overlooking the city lights at the Windy Point Bird Box restaurant. A perfectly relaxed and beautiful wedding day.
Kody and David had a beautifully rustic wedding with a country vibe, marrying in a sheep paddock beneath a gorgeous old gum tree! They spent the day celebrating with their friends and family and dancing the night away to some really good tunes. Penny’s Hill always provides the goods for photo locations from the old stone walls to vineyards, paddocks and gum trees. It was a gorgeous day!
Renee and Angus’ wedding day was warm and bright with perfect weather, a relaxed and casual day. They looked forward to all the special moments; the ceremony, speeches and first dance. One Paddock at Currency Creek was the perfect venue for their rustic boho vibe with beautiful views, vineyard and even horses. It made me one very happy photographer, what a beautiful day!
Heather and Danny have been friends of mine for about 10 years, so I was absolutely thrilled to capture their wedding day and celebrate with them! Especially after Covid delayed their special day by years as they waited for Danny’s family to be able to join the celebrations from the UK. Their day was amazing. A first look in the morning, portraits with family at Serafino and then a delicious (and HUGE) lunch at the Smiling Samoyed before a relaxed afternoon wedding at Fleurieu Cherries with even more good food, games and dancing.
Lajla and Anthony’s wedding was all about uniting their growing family and celebrating their day full of love! At the beautifully relaxed McLaren Vale venue, Barn1890 on a beautifully warm and sunny December day.
