Wisteria flowering along the glass, umbrellas up on the lawn and a bride crossing an old timber footbridge with a bridesmaid fussing over her skirt. Jasmine and Mathew’s Inglewood Inn wedding turned a misty spring afternoon in the Adelaide Hills into something soft and green: vows under a draped arbour, a quiet walk through the bluebells and a happy, noisy dinner in the glass function room. We loved every damp, laughing minute of it.

Wisteria and a wet car park

We arrived at Inglewood Inn to a soft grey sky, a wet car park and wisteria in full flower along the glass function room. Spring rain had turned everything green. We started with the inn’s old shield-shaped sign standing among the gums, then the timber welcome sign with Jasmine and Mathew’s names, leaning against the footbridge rail. From inside, we framed Mathew through the doorway as he crossed the wet brick courtyard in his navy suit. Shooting through a window frame like that is a simple way to tell a story: it shows where we are and who is on the way.

Waiting at the arbour

The ceremony was set on the lawn below the inn: a timber arbour draped in white fabric and crowned with white flowers and greenery, tall trees and bluebells behind it. Mathew waited there with his two groomsmen, all three in navy, and a loved one came over for a photo with him first. Guests gathered under big black market umbrellas, which kept the damp off and, from where we stood, gave the lawn a lovely layered look. On an overcast afternoon there are no harsh shadows to fight, so we could photograph faces from any side.

Down the hill and over the bridge

Jasmine came down the hill on foot. Her two bridesmaids wore navy lace and carried white rose bouquets, and the three of them paused together on the path before it all began. Then she came down the grassy track beside the timber fence, a few loved ones behind her and one guest holding a little white umbrella. She crossed the old footbridge below the wisteria with a bridesmaid at her side, and we stayed low on the lawn so the inn sat right above her. The white flower tucked into her hair caught the light as she reached the aisle.

Faces under the umbrellas

As Jasmine walked towards Mathew, we turned around. Under the umbrellas guests were laughing with their phones up, and the loved one who had posed with Mathew earlier was already dabbing at her eyes. The groomsmen could not stop grinning. Reaction frames like these are half the story of a ceremony, so one of us watches the aisle while the other watches the crowd. Jasmine reached the arbour, the celebrant stepped in with a microphone, and the two of them stood hand in hand with the bridesmaids on one side and the groomsmen on the other.

Rings and a cheer

There was plenty of laughter in the vows. Jasmine turned to share a joke with her bridesmaids, and a ripple of giggles went through the guests behind us. Then it went quiet for the rings: Jasmine slid Mathew’s ring on with tears in her eyes while the celebrant held the microphone close. We used a longer lens here so we could fill the frame with their hands and faces without stepping into the aisle. The kiss came with the groomsmen clapping and the whole lawn cheering from under the umbrellas.

Hugs and a climb uphill

Straight after the ceremony we gathered everyone on the lawn for one big group photo, then let the hugs happen. A groomsman pulled Mathew into a long embrace, Jasmine was wrapped up by loved ones one after another, and an older guest got a happy wave of her bouquet. Then the two of them climbed back up the grassy slope beside the old rock wall towards the inn, Jasmine lifting her skirt clear of the damp grass. A hill like this is great for a walking photo: we shoot from above and the whole garden opens up behind them.

Signing beside the wisteria

Inside the glass function room they signed the register at a round timber table, with wisteria pressing against the windows. Mathew signed first, then the witnesses, and Jasmine and Mathew rested their hands together on the certificate for a close-up. While guests found their drinks, we photographed the details: white flowers on a timber round, a framed card box for wishes, green and white menu cards, and a grazing platter of cured meats, soft cheese and strawberries set on a barrel top. A chalkboard sign in looping chalk letters marked the lolly bar, its jars full of lollipops and chocolates.

Bluebells under tall trees

Then we stole Jasmine and Mathew for portraits. We walked them along the fence line above the paddocks, where green hills rolled away into the mist, and down a track into a stand of tall trees with bluebells flowering underneath. Overcast light suits a spot like this: it fills the shade evenly, so their faces stayed soft while the blue flowers glowed. Some of our favourite Inglewood Inn wedding photos came from this short walk. They kissed among the bluebells, laughed together back at the arbour, and we finished with a few frames of each of them alone on the lawn.

Dinner in the glass room

Dinner was in the glass function room, round tables dressed in white with wisteria and green hills outside every window. A guest took the microphone, then Jasmine and Mathew made their entrance hand in hand past the old stone wall. Mathew swapped his jacket for the waistcoat, and we worked the tables while the light faded outside, then caught Jasmine with her bridesmaids against the glass. Later a bridesmaid stood up to speak and her whole table cracked up. Our last frame was the inn itself from the brick courtyard, its windows glowing warm against the old stone.

Inglewood Inn, Inglewood: a misty spring ceremony under umbrellas and a bluebell walk below the wisteria

Read the venue notes

Lawn, footbridge and glass room

Jasmine and Mathew kept the whole day close to the inn. Guests crossed the timber footbridge onto the lawn below the wisteria, and Jasmine followed the same way after walking down the grassy track beside the paddock fence. The vows happened at a white draped arbour with bluebells behind. Afterwards the couple climbed the slope beside the rock wall to sign at a round timber table in the Function Room, and that glass room stayed home base for drinks, speeches, the shoe game and dinner, with the brick courtyard just outside.

A misty spring afternoon

This was a soft, damp spring day, with the car park still wet and grey cloud sitting over the hills. That weather shaped every decision. The black market umbrellas went up for the ceremony, and we treated them as part of the frame, layering rows of them between us and the arbour. With no hard shadows we could move freely and photograph faces from either side. Along the fence line the mist turned the paddocks pale and the gums soft, and inside, the wisteria pressed against the glass gave every table a green and purple edge.

Where we placed Jasmine and Mathew

For the entrance we dropped low on the lawn, so the footbridge, the rock garden wall and the glass terrace stacked up behind Jasmine as she stepped across. Earlier we had looked down from the terrace through the wisteria at the lawn and its umbrellas, a view that sets the scene in one frame. For portraits, the stand of tall trees with bluebells underneath was the standout, because the cloud filled the shade evenly and the flowers glowed. We finished at the empty arbour once the guests had gone in, and later caught the inn glowing from the courtyard at dusk.

Tips for a grey day in the Hills

Do not let a forecast like this one worry you. Matching dark umbrellas, like the ones Jasmine and Mathew’s guests held, look far better in photos than a mix of colours, and a clear one or two let faces show through. Keep the bride’s skirt in mind on wet grass: a bridesmaid ready to lift the hem saved Jasmine’s lace on the bridge and the slope. And when portrait time is short, choose one spot that loves soft light, such as the bluebells under the trees, rather than trying to cover the whole garden in the damp.
