Blake and Suzanne (Suzi) | Ayers House| Adelaide Wedding Photography

Our heartiest congratulations go out to Blake and Suzi, who chose the perfect wedding venue Adelaide wedding photographers could ask for in the form of the regal Ayers House. The marvellous exteriors and interiors of Ayers House, combined with the lovely colour palettes highlighted in the dresses worn by the bride and bridesmaids, made the event a photography feast for us. Needless to say, we were ecstatic to cover the wedding! 

Ayers House- The Adelaide Wedding Venue for the Ceremony and Reception

To say that Ayers House had cast a magical spell on us would be the understatement of the century. As the couple took their vows against the backdrop of gigantic, lavish curtains draping to the floor- the moment had everyone in the room transported to the ending of some chick-flick movie, where the couple everyone was rooting for finally gets together in the end. 

In retrospect, there could not have been a wedding venue more perfect than the beautiful Ayers House for Blake and Suzi’s wedding to take place in. Each little detail was so picturesque, from the lovely flower arrangements put together by The Rose and Radish to the intricate frill work on Bride’s dress (courtesy of Jenny & Gerry's Bridal Centre and Sonia), each subtle element had us relishing in what can only be called every photographer’s heaven. 

But let’s be honest over here, the wedding wouldn’t be as great as it was if Mother Nature wasn’t especially kind to the happy couple (and us) on their wedding day. With gorgeous shades of lilacs and pinks encapsulating the sky and the surroundings around us- each and everyone had been swept straight off our feet with the beauty that was presented before us. 

Preparing for the Ceremony

Before the actual ceremony started, we picked up our gear and rushed to the Bride’s place to photograph the ‘getting ready’ process. However, upon our arrival, we were quite shocked to see the bride, Suzi, chilling on the couch in her PJ’s, albeit with her makeup and hair immaculately done (courtesy of the lovely Elise Cook and Amber Nicole respectively), and looking very much like a sight for sore eyes. 

With the bride wearing a lovely crème coloured silk cover-up over her PJ’s, with the words “Mrs.” embossed on the back, accompanied by her bridesmaids with similar grey coverups, bearing the word “Always.” We took a couple of pictures against the backdrop of a coral-bricked wall which made the colours of their gowns, and the intricate braids woven into their hair pop even more.

After we had finally settled into our element, we took a couple of outdoor photographs which features Suzi and her bridesmaids enjoying themselves in the beautiful Adelaide weather, our focus shifted to capturing the bride and her bridesmaids, now finally in their dresses for the evening. 

The gorgeous dress worn by Suzi, combined with the beautiful azure dresses that the bridesmaids wore made for some incredibly gorgeous pictures and made our job as photographers a piece of cake. 

On the other side of the spectrum, the groom and the groomsmen were having a swell time as they got dressed for the wedding ceremony, with suits from InStitchu and Peter Shearer respectively. 

After the preparations had come to an end for both parties, we scurried on over to the beautiful and venue- Ayers House, which stood tall, waiting for the wedding festivities to commence! 

The Wedding Ceremony

 When we arrived at the beautiful and grandiose Ayers House, the bride and groom stepped out of their cars, and we carried on with our picture taking. The moment that the guests had caught on about the happy couple’s arrival- the air seemed to be filled with what could only be defined as raw emotion. Most people usually refer to that emotion as love. Regardless of what you call ‘it,’ there’s no denying the bucketloads of love encapsulating Ayers House on the wedding day. 

After Blake and Suzi had taken their vows and loved ones had given their speeches (which resulted in some teary eyes), it was time to party. And party, we did. With a beautiful dance floor covered in Fairy Lights, courtesy of JP light and sound, we took some splendid pictures as well. 

Looking back at Blake and Suzi’s wedding now, my heart fills with joy at the fond remembrance of this couple so head over heels in love with each other! An added benefit was the beautiful visuals we got to capture, and pictures that will bring a smile to the couples’ faces for eternities to come! 

Wedding Tips from Suzanne and Blake

What do you think are the best part of the wedding?

Suzi: Being able to say “I do” in front of all our nearest and dearest was a surreal and incredible experience. Also, locking eyes for the first time when entering the ceremony...so many emotions!

Tips for future Brides

Suzi: Take it all in! I don’t know how many times I was told that by other brides and I was really able to stop and just appreciate everything about our day and everything happening around us. Being able to share that with the person you love most in the world is priceless.

Other things you love to share

Suzi: There are lots of ways to save money when it comes to weddings but photography is something you want to get right - it’s the only thing that you get to keep after the day (other than your new husband/wife)! We had so much fun with our photographer on our wedding day and that translated into the photos. They are beautiful and we are so grateful we chose the Scott Goh Photography team to capture our day.
