Werribee Mansion was built between 1874 and 1877 for the Chirnside family, Scottish pastoralists, to an Italianate design by James Henry Fox in brick faced with Barrabool freestone. It was a Catholic seminary from 1923 to 1973, then bought by the state and opened to the public in 1977. Parks Victoria manages the grounds: a formal parterre, an ornamental lake, a grotto, historic glasshouses and the Victoria State Rose Garden. The Mansion Hotel, in the old seminary wings, runs receptions.
Veri has three sets of Werribee Mansion photos. Liz and Robert had their ceremony, portraits and reception here, and two earlier galleries were shot as vintage-styled sessions around the house and gardens. The scale is the thing: long gravel paths, terraces, stone steps and the lake give a portrait walk that can run an hour without repeating a background.
