Winery Weddings
Vows among the vines, dinner over the valley and portraits in the last of the light, photographed and filmed by a small team in the Adelaide Hills, the Macedon Ranges and on the edge of the Yarra Valley.
As featured on
A winery wedding keeps the whole day on one estate, from the vows outside to dinner by a window over the vines.
We have photographed winery weddings in the Adelaide Hills, in the Macedon Ranges and at Arthurs Creek on the edge of the Yarra Valley, and each one had its own season, its own light and its own way of using the place.

Before you book a winery
The ceremony spot Every estate does it differently. At The Lane Vineyard in Hahndorf, larger weddings marry on the lawn above the vineyard, and the Boatshed on the dam takes ceremonies of up to about 30. Mount Macedon Winery offers its gardens, lawns and vines, with The Barn indoors. At Shaws Road Winery, couples marry on the grass among the vines.
Getting ready Mount Macedon Winery has the Garden Suite and a Homestead, with room for ten people to stay. Shaws Road has two apartments in the farmhouse. We found no accommodation at The Lane, so couples there get ready at home or in Hahndorf and arrive dressed.
Rain Mount Macedon names The Barn and the Cellar Door Restaurant as its wet weather options. The Lane and Shaws Road don't publish a plan for the ceremony, so ask the coordinator before you book.
Fire season A summer date in the Adelaide Hills can fall on a total fire ban day. Ask the venue what happens then, and check its rules on sparklers and petals before you buy any.
Getting home The wine is part of the day, so plan the ride home. Mount Macedon Winery and Shaws Road both have room for coaches.

How we photograph a winery wedding
We arrive early and walk the estate before the guests do: the shade for the family photographs, the row of vines that will catch the late sun, the spot where the light is kindest for the vows. In summer the middle of the day is bright and hard in the Hills, so we keep the shade of a deck or a pergola for the family and save the couple portraits for the last hour before dinner. At Kim and Ben's wedding the family photographs happened in the shaded corner of the Boatshed deck, and their portraits waited until the light dropped low and warm across the pond.
An estate puts a lot within a short walk. At Shaws Road, Jessica and Max's family photographs on the farm road took about a quarter of an hour, and their portraits about 35 minutes, through the vine rows, past the rounded hedges and the paddock fence and up to the lookout over the valley. A little direction when the light is right, then we step back and let the afternoon happen. Less poses, more feeling.
Summer, autumn and spring among the vines
Kim and Ben married on Valentine's Day 2026 at The Lane Vineyard, twenty years after they got together. It was a hot, clear afternoon. Their guests sat in the shade of the Boatshed's vine-covered roof while the sun lit the pond, and dinner was at one long table in the glass-walled restaurant, with single red roses all the way along it.
Jessica and Max married at Shaws Road at the end of March, under a soft grey autumn sky that stayed even all afternoon. The vines held their green, the wind kept lifting Jessica's veil over the hedges, and the night ended with a sparkler send-off.
Kristie and Gareth married at Mount Macedon Winery in September, on a clear spring day. Jay and Sofia shot it on 35mm film, from pyjamas and champagne on the deck to a Highland cow wandering over in the paddock at golden hour, and the sky over the Black Forest Valley turned red at sunset. We cut them a short video teaser as a gift, and it is on this page.

Questions couples ask
Do you photograph winery weddings in Adelaide?
Yes. Jay and Sofia photographed Kim and Ben's wedding at The Lane Vineyard in Hahndorf, in the Adelaide Hills. Travel within 50 km of the CBD is included, and anything further is itemised in your quote.
Which wineries near Melbourne have you worked at?
Mount Macedon Winery near Woodend, in the Macedon Ranges, and Shaws Road Winery at Arthurs Creek, on the edge of the Yarra Valley. Each has a venue guide on our site, written from the day we spent there.
Where do we get ready for a winery wedding?
It depends on the estate. Mount Macedon Winery has the Garden Suite and a Homestead, with room for ten to stay. Jessica and Max both got ready on the farm at Shaws Road. We found no accommodation at The Lane Vineyard, so couples there arrive dressed.
What happens if it rains?
Ask before you book. Mount Macedon Winery moves the ceremony into The Barn or the Cellar Door Restaurant. The Lane Vineyard and Shaws Road don't publish a wet weather plan, so ask the coordinator what yours would be. Jessica and Max's day stayed grey from start to finish, and the soft light suited the vines.
When is the best light among the vines?
The last hour before sunset. In summer the middle of the day is bright and hard in the Adelaide Hills, so we keep the shade for family photographs and save your portraits for later. The vines are green in spring and summer and turn golden in autumn.
How long should we allow for photographs?
Less than you might think, because everything is close. At Shaws Road, Jessica and Max's family photographs took about a quarter of an hour, and their portraits about 35 minutes, from the vine rows to the lookout over the valley.
Can our guests throw petals or light sparklers?
Ask the venue first. Shaws Road doesn't publish rules on either; Jessica and Max's guests threw petals and lit sparklers. In the Adelaide Hills a summer date can fall on a total fire ban day, so ask The Lane Vineyard what happens then.
How do guests get home after a winery wedding?
Plan it early, because the wine is part of the day. Mount Macedon Winery and Shaws Road both have room for coaches, so a guest bus is an easy answer.
Can you shoot our winery wedding on 35mm film?
Yes. Jay and Sofia shot Kristie and Gareth's day at Mount Macedon Winery on 35mm film, from getting ready to a red sky over the valley. See our 35mm film wedding photography page for how it works.
Can you film it as well?
Yes. Photo and video collections start at $2,490, with one team covering both. Kristie and Gareth's teaser is on this page.
