nostalgia is forever

There's something magical about photographing weddings at this grand estate that takes me back to another era entirely. The heritage mansion sits majestically among formal English gardens, and every corner offers a new perspective – from the dappled light filtering through ancient oak trees to the elegant architecture that frames couples perfectly. I love how the gardens provide endless opportunities for those intimate moments between portraits, and the way the golden hour light dances across the heritage buildings creates pure magic through my lens.

This hidden gem in Cremorne captures my heart every time with its perfect blend of industrial heritage and botanical beauty. The 1920s warehouse walls draped in cascading greenery create this incredible natural backdrop that photographs beautifully in both film and digital. What I love most is how the abundance of natural light streaming through the glass creates these soft, dreamy portraits, while the industrial elements add character and depth to every shot.

Nestled in the rolling hills of the Yarra Valley, this venue offers me everything I dream of as a photographer – from intimate garden ceremonies under the Grand Oak to lakeside moments that feel like they're straight out of a fairytale. I can capture your entire day's story without ever leaving the property, and there's something special about photographing couples against the backdrop of King Parrot Creek or the Valley of a Thousand Hills. The way the light moves across the landscape throughout the day creates endless possibilities for those once-in-a-lifetime shots.

Few venues offer the unique charm and natural beauty that this riverfront farm provides, and as a photographer, I'm constantly inspired by the variety of settings available. Whether it's the grandeur of the ancient Oak Tree beside the Yarra River or the rustic charm of the Barn with its twinkling lights, every corner tells a different part of your story. I particularly love how the mix of heritage buildings, lush gardens, and river views creates this perfect blend of country charm right in the heart of Melbourne.
