Olivehouse, now trading as Olivehouse at Greendale Grove, is a family-owned venue on the Goulburn Valley Highway at Kialla West, about ten minutes south of Shepparton. The Henry family planted Greendale Grove in 2001 with 2,000 olive trees, added another 1,200 around the house site in 2002, and opened the Olivehouse and its olive shop in 2003. The house was purpose-built in a federation-inspired style, and the grove now covers fifty acres with more than 5,700 trees.
Veri photographed Amy and Brandon’s wedding here with ceremony, portraits and reception all at Olivehouse, after the couple got ready at a flower farm at Murchison. The grove is the portrait location: long, straight rows of silver-green trees, red soil, and a flat horizon that keeps the sky in the frame. The venue now concentrates on ceremonies and elopements, with five settings including the grove, the barn and an indoor wet-weather room.
For Amy and Brandon it was the ceremony, portrait and reception venue; the day also took in Avonlea Flowers in Murchison.
