The couple’s wedding film: the day at Payne's Rise.
The film follows the whole day at Payne's Rise, Seville, in the order it happened.
Venue: Payne's Rise, 10 Paynes Rd, Seville VIC 3139.
Paynes Rise is a small family vineyard on Paynes Road at Seville in the Upper Yarra Valley. The property is the 1860s homestead of Thomas Payne, Seville’s first settler, and the cellar door still runs out of the original house and outbuildings. The first Cabernet vines went in in 1999, with Shiraz, Pinot Noir, Chardonnay and Pinot Gris since. Couples marry under the old oak, by the dam or among the vines, and the grounds take functions of up to about 150.
Veri has photographed two weddings here, most recently Kate and Wes’s. Small wineries photograph honestly: real work happens here and it shows in the textures. We walked the rows at dusk as the ranges went blue, and the shed glowed like a lantern behind us for the last frames.
