Inglewood Inn Wedding Photos

An 1857 inn on North East Road, garden vows under century-old trees, and the Para River below

Inglewood Inn is a pub and function venue on North East Road at Inglewood, in the Adelaide Hills about thirty-five minutes from the Adelaide CBD. The inn dates from 1857 and has been run by one family for more than eighteen years. Weddings use the gardens and a function room with three glass walls and a polished concrete floor, looking over the hills and the Para River running through the property. The room seats 100 for dinner or 150 for a cocktail reception.

Veri photographed Jasmine and Mathew’s wedding here from the bride getting ready through the ceremony, portraits and reception, all at the inn. A garden ceremony under the old trees, a walk down towards the river for portraits and dinner in the glass room is the usual shape of the day, with a garden bar keeping guests in one place between the two.

Photographing a wedding at Inglewood Inn

The ceremony lawn sits under mature trees, so the couple is in open shade even mid-afternoon and faces are even. The river bank and the hills give two different portrait looks within a short walk. The function room’s three glass walls mean the reception is lit by the sky until dusk; after that the room reflects, so we shoot the speeches from the solid wall side. The old stone of the 1857 building is a good frame for the exit. The gallery above is Jasmine and Mathew’s wedding.
