timeless new york syle garden wedding

Mekha and Kiran know how to balance sentiment and style in equal measure

From the moment Mekha and Kiran enquired with me for their wedding photography at Glen Ewin, I knew these two were something special. From our first phone call. I could feel their warmth and the trust they had immediately placed in me to be their wedding photographer.

I recall our timeline video call, seeing how sincerely these two beautiful humans admired each other. It only made me more excited to be a part of this special story that would unfold at Glen Ewin Estate.

“Meeting you on our Wedding Day and feeling the warmth and joy behind all those emails and phone calls was truly special. We felt completely at ease having you behind the lens. Thank you for looking after us so well.

It was truly a privilege to be photographed by you.”

—  Mekha & kiran

Ours is an unconventional story spanning a few thousand miles. Throw in a pandemic and it gets even more interesting. Dubai can take some credit for the initial sparks but it was the many, many hours of FaceTime that sealed the deal – the conversation never dulled, the laughs got louder, the hearts got fonder and we only got weirder together. It was no surprise to either of us when the warm fuzzies settled in – when you know, you know.

Kiran and I got engaged right here in Adelaide in September 2022 – he scoped out a magical little private cove near O’Sullivan Beach.

WHEN AND WHERE DID YOU GET ENGAGED?

TELL US ABOUT HOW YOU TWO MET

Old New York style. Very classic and clean, we’re leaning into the black and white.


WHAT STYLE or THEME HAVE YOU CHOSEN FOR YOUR day?

Definitely seeing each other for the first time at the end of the aisle!

WHAT ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO ON THE DAY?

Get your main vendors locked in as early as possible, the smaller things are so much easier to organise later on. We would also HIGHLY recommend a stylist. It’s such a relief not having to worry about how the flowers, lighting and styling concepts will come together on the day and how all the different parts and pieces are going to get to your venue beforehand.
