Adelaide Wedding Photography & Wedding Videography Kaden & Amy

Hi all, thank you for reading our the latest blog. My name is Rob and I am the head Videographer here at J'adore Weddings. For this adventure we are of to one of my favourite places Adelaide. I enjoyed getting to know Kaden & Amy a prior to wedding and when we arrived on the day it was all smiles and great atmosphere. It was easy to see how much this meant to both our Bride & Groom as well as their families. With storms in the area during the lead up to the wedding we where worried about the day but it was perfect with the only downfall being the down had been lost at the ceremony location which meant the no air-conditioning but nothing was going to stop these guys from enjoying their special day. 

After the ceremony we went to the Adelaide Botanical Gardens and got some images and video, this venue seems to be a bit of a hot spot for weddings and I can see why as there is just so much variety, lots of different greens and browns from the assortment of trees and shrubs aswell as plenty of colour with flowers and different themes, also some beautiful lakes. 

LakeLands Golf Course, Cameron & Demi - Gold Coast Wedding Videography Package

in

With a couple of locations ahead of us throughout the 6-hour wedding package we were excited to get things rolling. First starting with the ceremony held at Braeside wedding chapel, which features a signature century old Camphor Laurel tree with garlanded swing for two, gaming area & sweeping lawns to Gin House Creek. For that rustic feel there is a giant Southern Cross windmill beside the chook mansion, home to purebred chickens. Overlooking this is the Old Shed Bar creating that extra special for pre-reception canapés & drinks.

We had a big bridal party & a massive crowd to fill the chapel so with three tripods set up and another camera set to capture the extra details, the team was well prepared for the day ahead. As Demi started walking down the aisle, you could tell Cameron was awe struck, as this was the woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with; this kind of love, while hard to find, it's so wonderful to see & capture for the couple and their family to see. 

The ceremony was extra special, this one in particular was a sand ceremony. Taking place after the celebrant announced them as husband & wife, this quirky & unique idea’s for ceremonies really do make it that much more special. We were also catered to a song which was sung by Demi's sister, to which was AMAZING!!! 

Skipping forward to the photo section at the Lakelands Gold Course.  They had multiple function rooms available within the clubhouse to suit any event large or small, featuring floor to ceiling windows with a versatile yet stylish design. Also featuring fresh garden outlook with lake views & your guests can enjoy the outdoors with direct access to their wrap-around terrace overlooking peaceful lakes and lush greens fronting the Broadbeach skyline. 

This was the perfection place for a big bridal party along with the photo section as it provided multiple locations with different sceneries to help capture the different moments. This bridal party was especially fun to work with, as their upbeat fun attitude gave as an equally as good feel throughout the whole day, this also provided AMAZING footage, capturing ALL THE MOMENTS! from the awkward, to the funny & cute. 

As we neared to the reception, the whole function room was catered with the best of everything, & as the crowd started to pour in the letter box started to fill up more, everyone was awaiting the appearance of the newly married couple. This was met with a roar upon the opening of the doors.

Such a positive atmosphere left the night filled with great footage! As no one was afraid to get out on the dance floor & have a bit of a jiggy. We also got to learn some funny things in the speeches about both Cameron & Demi. This was such a good wedding, & we can't wait to see what this couple achieves in their life together as husband & wife!

Cedar Creek Estate, Bryn and Sophie's - Gold Coast Wedding Videography

We were extremely lucky to not only get to be apart of a videography engagement shoot with Bryn & Sophie, but also being apart of their AMAZING wedding at Cedar Creek estate completed this wonderful experience for us here at J’adore. Also offering engagement photos & videos we believe this to be a great way to interact & get to know our clients better whilst forming a good bond before the big day. After previously doing a close friends wedding in 2016, we were very excited to see how our past couple was going on their new venture together as husband & wife while also getting to see some familiar faces. 

From the moment you enter the tree lined driveway, you’ll appreciate a charming winery in picturesque grounds in which we would describe as a perfect wedding venue. Cedar Creek Estate up at Mt Tamborine on the Gold Coast is where we first started our 6-hour escapade.  This was not before though, quickly turning up at the lovely Sophie's house to catch a few quick shots, that turned out absolutely beautiful! 

It really goes to show, that with the right equipment & a positive attitude going into this environment with only a few moments to spare you really can get some excellent quality footage. Especially with the right lighting, to which we had. 

As the wedding ceremony was held outdoors, we had the natural lighting to fool around with for the whole day, and this definitely played into a huge benefit for the whole team of us shooting. From sun flare, to getting to fool around with the exquisite colour scheme that the out door settings had to offer us. 

As it was a perfect day, we were also able to get the drone up and flying around, which resulted into some STELLA footage of both the beautiful couple as well as the breath taking venue. 

As the night was leading into the reception, the speeches delivered throughout the whole night were amazing, as their was a collaboration of both heartfelt moments, accompanied by quite a few humorous ones as well. What was even better was the killer bridesmaid’s speech that featured a parody containing her best friend Sophie's voyage meeting Bryn; this got everyone’s spirits amped up in preparation for the first dance.

We were treated to a sentimental song Bryn and Sophie chose for their first dance, Kodaline- Latch. As this song had a strong symbolic meaning to each other it was lovely to see them wrapped up in another's embrace singing to each other.

This moment will make you cry.... Sirromet Winery Wedding Photography & Video

Hi everybody Rob here, Drew & Kacee's wedding was great to be apart of and as mentioned in the title their where some very special moments, Including when Kacee's dad walked up the stairs for the first time with firstly her father crying which then triggered the bride and the bridesmaids to follow, This was at the end of a great morning at the bride prep and before the we also captured the groom prep. With all going to plan including a trip to the barber.

The ceremony location was Sirromet which is truely one of the best in the Gold Coast and Brisbane area, it's named The Laguna, Hold your ceremony within the surrounds of a natural lagoon with water lilies and natural bushland, it is a little tight down the isle which is why it's so important to have a wedding photo and video team that work together as we do so that everybody knows exactly where they are supposed to be and when. The ceremony was a great mix of emotion and fun in conclusion we got our group and family photos. 

Following that we had a chance to get creative with the bridal party we got some images in the ceremony location then went and made use of the stunning car they had hired. We then had some time with just the bride and groom which is always great to really try and get some connection with the footage and images because there is nobody else around I often encourage our couples to really take it all in and sometimes it doesn't actually sync in until there have a few quiet moments. 

The reception at Sirromet was beautiful with custom theme and table settings, Sirromet’s Barrel Hall features authentic wine barrels, high ceilings and brick arches, giving you that warm cellar feel. Speeches where very entertaining and it didn't take long before our bride and groom followed by father of the bride then the whole crew hit the dance floor and they weren't holding back.

It was a great day with amazing people at a beautiful venue, we at J'adore feel so blessed to be part of days like this.  Your comments mean the world to us so let us know what your fav pic is or what you think about the video.

Surrounded by rolling vines and breathtaking scenery, Sirromet Winery promises a truly spectacular ceremony site, a magical reception venue and limitless photo opportunities. At Sirromet, we offer the complete package; Unique settings with three picturesque ceremony locations, exclusive individual reception areas, exceptional photo locations
