When you meet a bride and can instantly see why the man she is marrying fell in love with her you know you are on a winning thing. Kate was all smiles and laughter when we first met over two years ago now. She was so relaxed and quietly excited about her big day. She spoke beautifully about Rowie her surfer beau who she was head over heels with and their chilled out vibe they wanted for their wedding. She was so warm, fun and well umm drop dead gorgeous that I knew shooting this day would be a dream. Plus she has extremely great taste in friends, Sarah her maid of honour was in a wedding I shot a year prior that had me swooning. Meeting Rowie was just as I imagined and over a coffee I got to see firsthand what I had already assumed, a love so fun and real that it would blow my socks off!

The wedding at Paxton Wines in Mclaren Vale was Ah-Mazing! The day was spectacular in every form. It was the kind of wedding you didn’t want to leave because it was so beautiful and fun… So I didn’t I actually stayed well past when I thought I was leaving because I couldn’t put my camera down and stop documenting this smashing day. It just exudes friendship, love and real beauty.

I hope you enjoy,
