After an emotional ceremony, we did some formal family and group shots, then headed off to the vineyard for some casual relaxed shots. There are plenty of lovely places around the grounds for shooting.

We headed back to the Vines Restaurant to reception, where I stayed to capture Linda and Scott and their bridal party be formally introduced. I took several mood shots of the guests and the room and ended my stay with them cutting their cake. A lovely day was had by all.

I met up with Emily, the bridesmaids and her family in Templestowe on a stormy Saturday morning to take some “getting ready” shots. After some candids and formal family photos, 3 tiny Austin wedding cars arrived and we shot around them for a while.

From there, I headed off to the church to get some shots of Chris and the boys and Emily arriving in the cutest little wedding cars you’d see. After the ceremony, there was afternoon tea in the church hall, a few more family shots and we headed across Melbourne to the Yarra Valley & Wonga Park  for Kellybrook Winery. Kellybrook sports some of the most beautiful grounds of all the venues around Melbourne, with a rustic charm, not associated with many of the more ‘chic’ Yarra Valley wineries. The venue itself has no pretense, and the owners I found to be lovely to deal with.

I started off at Jess’s house in Bundoora for some ‘makeup and getting ready’ shots and met them for the ceremony in Wonga Park. I have popped their album choices in for you to view. The sweeping slopes of the vineyard at the winery along with the superbly kept gardens, make Kellybrook a favourite location for great wedding photos.

I stuck around until they made their grand entrance into the reception with some room, detail and band shots. They were a joy to deal with.
