A white arbour hung between two old trees, eight groomsmen lined up along the vines and a ring bearer who would not leave the groom’s arms. Natasha and Adam’s Hay Shed Hill wedding in Wilyabrup kept everything on one Margaret River estate, from vows in the afternoon sun to tapas, speeches and a first dance glowing behind giant LOVE letters. We stayed until the fairy lights in the big tree were the brightest thing in the valley.

Lace, heels and baby’s breath

Our day started in Dunsborough at Regency Beach Club, where Natasha was getting ready with her five bridesmaids in matching floral robes. Before anyone dressed, we laid out the details: the lace-panelled invitation, her pale heels resting on the tulle of her veil, and five white gift bags lined up behind balls of baby’s breath with her white rose bouquet in the middle. A bridesmaid fastened a bracelet while we moved in close on her hands. Then the bubbles came out, the flower girl climbed into the middle of the robes, and the laughing started.

Window light and a timber staircase

Natasha dressed beside a big window with white blinds, and we kept her side-on to it so the light wrapped softly around her veil. Sitting with the two children on the couch, she looked down at them with a smile that needed no direction from us. Her bridesmaids came back in their gowns, one of them shared a quiet hug with Natasha by the window, and we stood the six of them in a row for the classic frame. For the last picture inside, we went up to the landing and looked straight down the timber stairs as she climbed towards us, bouquet in hand.

Scooped up at the arbour

The ceremony was set up among the vines, under two old trees with a timber arbour and white drapes between them, and a chalkboard sign welcomed guests at the edge of the rows. Adam waited on the grass with his eight groomsmen in a line. Natasha arrived by car, and we caught her through the open door before she stepped out. The bridesmaids walked first, then the flower girl and the little ring bearer, and Adam crouched to greet the boy before scooping him up. Natasha walked the aisle on her own, grinning at everyone she passed.

Rings in the dappled shade

The site had big trees overhead and bright afternoon sun on the vines behind, so we watched for faces in the patches of even shade and exposed for skin rather than sky. A bridesmaid knelt to straighten Natasha’s train, then Natasha and Adam joined hands under the drapes and swapped rings while the guests in the white chairs leant in. The flower girl ended up on a guest’s lap near the front. When it came time to sign, the ring bearer claimed Adam’s knee at the little white table and watched every stroke of the pen.

Hugs on the way out

The walk back up the aisle came with the flower girl skipping ahead, and Natasha and Adam stopped halfway for a kiss among the guests. Then the hugs began. Older guests reached for Natasha’s hands, a loved one in a patterned shirt pulled her in, and she turned so her lace back and train spread across the grass. A longer lens lets us stay back at moments like this and leave the space to family. Next, the whole crowd squeezed in together in front of the vines, followed by family groups on the lawn and a round of beers with the groomsmen.

Long shadows and bridal party

Some of our favourite Hay Shed Hill wedding photos come from the open paddock beside the vines, and this one was no exception. By the time we took the bridal party out there, the sun was low enough to throw long shadows across the grass. The groomsmen strode towards us, then everyone gathered around the couple with the light behind them, which keeps eyes open and puts a bright rim on every head. Natasha had a moment with the groomsmen alone, train spread out behind her. The bridal party was due back with the guests at six, so we kept the groups quick.

A dirt track through the vines

For the portraits we walked Natasha and Adam into the rows. Late summer light came in low across the vines, and we framed them between the trunks with a ridge of trees behind. Then we found a dirt track running between two blocks, with a stand of old trees at the end of it, and sent them down it hand in hand. They stopped for a kiss under the trees, and on the walk back the white buildings of the estate caught the last of the sun. A track like that does the composing for you, because its lines lead straight to the couple.

Tapas, speeches and a cake on a barrel

Up at the restaurant, giant LOVE letters stood on the deck with the vineyard behind. Inside we found a welcome sign on an easel, N&A letters on a timber table, a drinks station and a birdcage for cards, while the semi-naked cake waited on a wine barrel. Guests gathered on the lawn with drinks, then Natasha and Adam came through the long white room to cheers. Speeches came from an older guest at a barrel, the bridesmaids as a group and two groomsmen with a script. Boards of tapas went round, and the cake was cut beside a rack of wine.

First dance behind the LOVE letters

After dark the deck became the dance floor. A guitarist played beside the glowing LOVE letters, and for the first dance we used the letters as our main light, with coloured lights from behind for a little drama. Then the bridesmaids and groomsmen piled on, arms went up in front of the letters, and one bridesmaid pulled a face for us while holding up her phone. Before we left, we walked Natasha and Adam out to a big tree wrapped in fairy lights for one last portrait, then looked back at the restaurant glowing in the dark like a lantern.

Hay Shed Hill, Wilyabrup: vows between two old trees, a paddock at golden hour and a deck first dance

Read the venue notes

From the vines to the deck

After getting ready on the coast, Natasha arrived by car to a ceremony set at the edge of the vines, under two old trees hung with a white draped timber arbour. Signing happened at a little white table on the lawn, the whole crowd gathered beneath a sprawling old tree, and the family groups moved onto the grassy field nearby. The bridal party and couple portraits took us into the open paddock, the vine rows and a red dirt track. Drinks followed on the lawn below the deck, then tapas and speeches in Rustico before dancing on the deck.

Summer sun and long shadows

It was a bright late summer afternoon, and the ceremony site mixed deep shade under the old trees with blazing vines behind, a tricky contrast that rewards patience. We waited for moments when the couple stepped fully into the shade, so their faces stayed clean. By the time we reached the paddock, the sun had dropped low enough to stretch the groomsmen’s shadows across the grass and flare over the treeline behind the whole bridal party. At dusk it slipped behind the trees as guests gathered for drinks, and night brought coloured lights on the deck.

Photo spots we used for this couple

Framing Natasha and Adam between the gnarled vine trunks, with a ridge of tall trees above, gave the portraits real depth. The dirt track between two blocks was a natural path for walking shots, and a pond beside a mown farm track gave the groomsmen a fun backdrop for their stride. The white buildings of the estate caught the last light, which is worth turning round for. After dark, the giant light up letters lit faces warmly from the side, and the big fairy light tree made a tiny pair of silhouettes.

Ideas for your own vineyard day

If a little one in your ceremony wants to stay with someone they trust, let them. The ring bearer spent much of the ceremony in Adam’s arms and on his knee at the signing, and those pictures are pure gold. Give groomsmen something to hold for their portraits; beers in hand made the paddock stride relaxed and natural. If you are hiring light up letters, place them right beside where you will dance, because they work as both decoration and a soft light source for the first dance.
