Collingwood Children's Farm Wedding Videography in Abbotsford, Melbourne

Collingwood Children’s Farm is a not-for-profit community farm on the banks of the Yarra at Abbotsford, next to the Abbotsford Convent. It opened in 1979, the oldest children’s farm in Australia, on land farmed since 1836, the oldest continuously farmed ground in Victoria. The eight hectares hold more than 350 animals across a dozen species, the Yarra trail runs through toward Dights Falls, and a farmers’ market fills the paddocks on the second Saturday of each month.

We have filmed several weddings at the Farm and photograph weddings across inner Melbourne. Ceremonies are held under the old oak beside the river or in the Stables Paddock, a pocket of bush with the Yarra behind the couple. Receptions go into the Barn with its strings of lights over the gardens, or the open-air Farm Cafe for smaller groups. Goats, horses and a donkey wander into the background whether invited or not.
