Some venues have a reputation for being beautiful. Then there are venues that make you feel something the moment you walk through the door. 

Stones of the Yarra Valley is definitely the second kind.

When Kimberly and Raphael first visited the venue, they hadn’t even started picturing their wedding day in detail yet. But the second Kimberly stepped into the chapel, everything changed.

“The first time I stepped into the chapel I started crying, it had such a special, spiritual feeling and I knew this is where I wanted to be united as a couple in front of our loved ones.”

There has been so much hype around Alora Macedon, and honestly, it makes complete sense. 
This is a brand new private estate wedding venue in the Macedon Ranges, set across 13 acres, and it brings something genuinely different to the Victorian wedding scene. 

It feels considered, architectural, and very design led, which is exactly why it suits my editorial approach to wedding photography so well.

Some couples leave things to chance.

Claire is not one of those people.

Before we even talk about the architecture, the styling, or the dance floor that stayed packed all night, we need to talk about the fact that Claire hired not one, but THREE different Etsy witches to cast a very specific weather spell for her wedding day. 

The brief? No rain. Partly sunny. Somewhere between 22 and 27 degrees.

And quite surprisingly, it worked.

Some wedding days are perfectly planned. Others are perfectly felt.

Bronte and Shaun’s wedding sat firmly in the second category.

From the very first message Bronte sent, it was clear they weren’t interested in tradition for tradition’s sake.

They wanted a day that felt upbeat, intimate, family-orientated, and full of movement. Just a modern love story unfolding naturally, with great food, great energy, and the people who matter most right there with them.

If you’ve been dreaming of a wedding that feels like a romantic escape to the Italian countryside (minus the long-haul flight) then Pietro Gallus Estate will be your dream Tuscan-inspired venue.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Warrandyte South, just 45 minutes from Melbourne’s CBD, this family-owned estate blends the rustic charm of Tuscany with the elegance of fine dining, award-winning spirits, and stunning views over their olive grove.

Whether you’re planning a grand celebration in the Olivigna restaurant, an intimate wedding of up to 60 people in the La Terrazza, or a chic family-only private dinner in The Lounge, here’s your complete guide to weddings at Pietro Gallus Estate.

If you’re dreaming of a Sunnyside wedding that balances Vogue-inspired style with candid, in-the-moment storytelling, this one is for you.
Shanai and Joshua’s celebration is a beautiful example of how this venue comes to life when couples lean into its gardens, architectural spaces, and effortless coastal elegance. Their day was modern, editorial, and deeply personal. They focused on being present, celebrating with loved ones, and we worked together to create heirloom-worthy photographs that feel timeless and elevated.

If you’re after a wedding day that’s part garden party, part seaside soiree, and part modern-Mediterranean vibe, then Sunnyside Events on the Mornington Peninsula deserves top-spot on your shortlist.

An intimate city wedding with a couture mini, a magenta bouquet and a quietly joyful dinner at QT.

Some weddings are about grandeur, sprawling guest lists, and endless traditions.

But Danielle and Dean knew from the very beginning that what they wanted was something different: simple, heartfelt, and true to them.

On a crisp September day, with just twenty of their closest family members, they exchanged vows in the historic Old Treasury Building Melbourne before gathering at QT Melbourne for a stylish, laughter-filled dinner that felt more like a family celebration than a traditional reception.

The result was effortless, personal, and every inch a reflection of them.

If you’re dreaming of a warm, rustic wedding venue in Melbourne that feels both grounded in nature and beautifully elevated—Warrawong Estate might just be your perfect match.

Tucked into 185 acres of rolling hills and open skies in Eynesbury (just 40 minutes from Melbourne CBD), this heritage-listed estate is a hidden gem for couples who love a blend of countryside charm, timeless detail, and unforgettable photo backdrops.

When the dress is this good, you don’t just go out to dinner—you throw a party.

Laura spotted the dress—the Rachel Gilbert Francesca Star Gown—one day and instantly knew: it wasn’t just a dress. It needed a moment. A grand entrance. A reason to gather every person they loved in one room.

So she turned to Dan, her high school sweetheart of eleven years, and said: I need something REALLY special to wear this to.

And so, they got engaged.

Cue: a night full of sparkle, wild dancing, heartfelt speeches and just the right amount of chaos—in the best possible way.
