Weddings

When Annabelle Williams and Jayden Ilesia exchanged vows in spring last year, the nuptials were a wonderful surprise for the 140 family and friends gathered, who thought they were joining the couple for their engagement party.

A first conversation about penguins and a mutual obsession for cricket and playing sport sparked an everlasting relationship for Ashleigh Seedsman and Kurtis Lamond, culminating in their romantic wedding in spring.

The elegant buildings and historic gardens of Anlaby Station proved the perfect backdrop for the recent spring wedding of Grace Ellis and Tony Butchart of Melbourne.

With an initial brief of ‘timeless and romantic’ for the styling of their wedding, Chelsea and John’s choice of St Hugo winery at Rowland Flat proved ideal for both the ceremony and reception for their winter nuptials.

Time spent at Nuriootpa High School was memorable for Danielle Davies and Brad Hoepner for more than just friendships and schoolwork, as it turned out to be the very place they would meet a partner for life.

What do you do when you have a winery in the family and you’re getting married? Suffice to say the ceremony location and wedding venue were quickly organised in what proved a heartfelt celebration. The winery was a wonderful choice for Abi Mader, the daughter of Mark and Amanda Mader for her wedding to Bayley Dean, the son of Barry and Tracey Dean of Penrice.

It was definitely a case of keeping it all in the family when Emma Graves and Ryan Watson married after a 12 year relationship in March.

Photographer Sam Kroepsch had the opportunity to feature on the other side of the camera alongside his partner of 10 years, Danielle Quinn when they married at Angaston last Spring.

After a relationship spanning 14 years, it was largely a local friend and family affair when Beck Tucker and Martin Ritzmann were married just before Christmas.

Pernod Ricard Heritage Vineyard was the venue choice for Katelyn Menzel and Cam Heinrich for their wedding celebration, with 130 friends and family in December.
