Adelaide is a beautiful city and gives wedding photographers plenty of options to get great photos. Here are some of them...
I'm Nicholas Purcell, an Adelaide wedding photographer, partly based in Adelaide and partly in Paris.
I thought it would be helpful to create a page for Adelaide brides-to-be to showcase what is possible in terms of wedding photography in Adelaide and the surrounding countryside. I hope this helps you in thinking about what you want from your wedding photos in Adelaide.
Firstly have a look at this video of a wedding photographed by me in Adelaide. The couple were married in a ceremony at the Monastery in Urrbrae, then the Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Adelaide CBD, photos were at the Supreme Court of South Australia and various buildings along North Terrace. Finally the reception was at the Art Gallery of South Australia.
If you don't want to watch the video you can see some highlight images from that wedding here:
The CBD itself provides plenty of opportunities for wedding photos. Here's just a few:
