A Marybank Estate Wedding

FEATURED WEDDING: Claire + Ryan at Marybank Estate

Just 20 minutes drive from Adelaide’s CBD in the foothills, Marybank Estate has got to be one of my favourite small wedding venues to photograph at.

The setting! The View! The landscaping! With accommodations, multiple garden areas for a whole wedding event, and plenty of unique spots for portraits - if you’re searching for a stupidly idyllic venue for under 125 guests, you can stop searching now. YOU’RE WELCOME.

When I arrived to photograph Clare and Ryan’s wedding, the sun was shining bright, casting a golden glow over everything. This wedding was DREAMY af - just as I knew it was going to be. What with Clare the Project Manager by profession, and Ryan a web designer - this was one SCHMICK party with no detail left unconsidered.

Wanting to maximise their time eating / drinking / and partying with their favourite people, Clare and Ryan planned their day to have all of their portraits with family and bridal party before their guests arrived and ceremony kicked-off.

The cocktail hour was a hit, thanks to the delicious catering by Sprout. And can we talk about that sunset? It was like something out of a fairy tale. Dinner under the verandah was the perfect setting for guests to enjoy a delightful meal. And get this – instead of a traditional wedding cake, Clare and Ryan opted for a giant slab of Haigh's Chocolate. They even smashed it apart with a mallet in the most hilarious fashion. Special mention also goes out to the giant pile of Saudade Portuguese custard tarts of which I absolutely partook.

The rest of the evening was filled with dancing, drinks, and all-around good vibes. It was a night to remember, that's for sure.

Enjoy.
