Aldinga Secret Garden is a private garden on Old Coach Road in the old township of Aldinga, south of Adelaide on the Fleurieu Peninsula. The gardens have been built up over about twenty years and are layered into small spaces: a gravelled laneway lined with hedges, a trained grapevine arbour that works as a gateway, a raised timber pergola for ceremonies, and a covered stone cottage verandah looking back over the lot. It hosts around 100 for a ceremony and 80 seated.
In 2021 the owners added The Chapel, an undercover room with chandeliers, ladders hung from the ceiling and windows salvaged from a 1970s church, so the whole day can stay on the property in any weather. Veri photographed Leila and Tamara’s wedding here, with the ceremony, portraits and reception all inside the garden. It is a compact site, which suits a relaxed day where the couple and guests never really leave the party.
