Kristy-Leigh and Mark

Kristy-Leigh and Mark tied the not on one of Adelaide's typical Spring days. The weather was undecided and the locals were out in force for the Christmas Pageant but you'd never have known as the guests were captivated by the sweet ceremony.

Kristy-Leigh's Make up was by Sam from 'Make up to Shake up'. The bridal party looked incredible and Sam was on hand the whole day to do touch ups. I definitely recommend that if your wedding is going to be longer than 4 hours (ceremony, photo's and reception) that you should consider having a professional Make up Artist on hand to touch up your make up. 

You'll be sipping drinks (there goes the lippy), shedding tears (red eyes, mascara smudges and eye liner gone, puffy eyes), you might consider that your MOH can keep on top of this but unless she's going to stop you in your tracks and make it her top priority, you might be better off having a pro on hand at least until the photo session begins. http://www.makeuptoshakeup.com 

Always a Mum, even on her Wedding day KL makes her little man giggle.

Other make up tips - Visine or Clear Eyes. All those tears plus the bouquet a foot from your sinus' all day can make those pretty peepers go red so have your MOH stash some eye drops in her handbag to keep your eyes sparkly and clear.

White gerbera's dotted the delicate bridal bouquet and oriental's added a spring fragrance.

This is one of my favourite shots of the Bride and Groom, sharing a kiss under the shade of the trees.

Kristy-Leigh was incredible to work with as she knew exactly where she wanted her portrait photo's. We took less than an hour at this location and captured some of my favourite shots here. I adore these romantic images so much and I hope you do too.

A romantic embrace, at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.

Aloha and Howdy! 

I’m Jewel, an Adelaide photographer and lover of all things Bridal. 

We dream of our wedding day from an early age. We dream of castles, horses, white dresses and the whole Cinderella Fairytale. But, by the time we get to say “I’m getting married!” most of us aren’t really interested in that Princess hoo-hah. 

Your wedding day is a day for you to express your love and commitment but it’s also a day you can express yourself. We’re not all about the religious sermon these days, and to be honest, do we really still enjoy a three course, sit-down meal at a table of 7 or is it 8?

If you’re looking for the alternative to limousine for your bridal cars, and not so keen on pink sashes and gerbera’s, this, is where you’ll find it.

I’ve seen circus weddings, Tetris cakes, lollipop bouquets and things that make you wonder if you’re really at a wedding or a Cirque du Soleil performance.  I’d like to share it all with you here and hopefully inspire you to add a little chilli to your cake, make your table centers edible and surprise the hell out of your guests.

Welcome to my blog! I hope you’ll screw up your face, laugh and say out loud “Love That!”
