Glen Erin at Lancefield Wedding Photos
An 1860s homestead, a vineyard at nearly 600 metres, and a floral arch above the vines
Glen Erin at Lancefield is a vineyard retreat on Rochford Road, Lancefield, in the Macedon Ranges about an hour north of Melbourne. The homestead dates from around 1860 and now serves as the bridal house, with six bedrooms, and a block of suites sleeps the rest of the party. The vines sit at nearly 600 metres. Ceremonies are held in the garden under a floral arch above the vineyard, or in the chapel, and the reception room seats up to 150.
Giovi and Andrés married and celebrated here, and their gallery runs to nearly 500 frames of ceremony, portraits and reception across the property. A second, smaller set of vintage-style country wedding photographs was also shot at Glen Erin. The day tends to stay on the one property: getting ready in the homestead, vows above the vines, portraits in the rows and along the drive, and dinner without leaving the grounds.
How to prepare for your wedding photos (without overthinking it)
Seven small things that make a real difference on the day — learned across hundreds of weddings. None of them involve practising poses.
In motion, unposed · FR 15A1. Be yourselves — that's where the magic is
You don't need to perform or worry about what you look like. The best photos come from real moments: a glance, a laugh, a shared breath. Let go a little — we'll guide when needed, and the best unfolds naturally.
2. Build buffer time into your timeline
A little breathing room between getting ready, the ceremony and couple portraits makes all the difference. It gives us space for spontaneous shots — and gives you time to soak it all in.
3. Choose locations that feel like you
A quiet lane, an open field, a textured wall — we love meaningful or interesting spots. Trust us to find great light, but if you've got a place you love, let's work it in.
4. Consider an unplugged ceremony
Phones can distract from the emotion (and your photos). Asking guests to be fully present makes for cleaner frames and a more heartfelt atmosphere.
5. Get ready in calm, light-filled spaces
Clutter-free rooms with natural light are a photographer's dream, and calm energy in the morning sets the tone for the day. Keep the space tidy — or assign a friend to do a quick sweep before we arrive.
6. Keep a drink and snacks nearby
Especially during portraits — hydration and a little sugar go a long way in keeping energy and moods high.
7. Trust the process
We've worked at hundreds of weddings and we're here to make you look and feel amazing. Trust us with the light, the angles, the pace — we've got you.
Photographing a wedding at Glen Erin at Lancefield
The garden ceremony faces the vineyard, so afternoon light comes in low across the rows behind the couple; in summer, book the vows for late afternoon so nobody squints. The vine rows and the front of the old homestead are the two portrait spots we come back to, and the hills in the distance give depth on a clear day. The chapel is the wet-weather ceremony and the restaurant fireplaces make winter easy. The galleries below are from two Glen Erin weddings.
