Winery & Vineyard Wedding Photos

A winery wedding puts the ceremony on a lawn or terrace above the vines, moves everyone to a cellar door, barrel hall or converted shed for dinner, and leaves the rows for portraits. In Victoria the rows change with the month: bare and pruned through winter, woolly green by November, heavy with fruit and netting around the February harvest, then yellow and red through April. The Yarra Valley and the Mornington Peninsula hold most of the wineries couples ask us about.

We have photographed Aggie and Alex among the autumn vine rows and clipped gardens at Lindenderry in Red Hill, and Caitlin and Brad’s vows under the willows beside the lake at Crittenden Wines in Dromana, where the pavilion glowed once the peninsula light went gold. In the Yarra Valley, Tokar Estate’s rows run toward the ranges at Coldstream, and Yering Farm’s converted hay barn holds a dark, amber-lit reception.
