There’s something special about weddings in wine country—wide skies, golden light, and that slow, celebratory energy that invites you to truly be present. In the heart of Northeast Victoria, you’ll find a handful of venues where connection comes first, the landscape is cinematic, and every detail feels intentional. What a dream for a wedding photographer!

Whether you're planning a weekend away or a single golden afternoon, here are four venues we adore capturing you in.

Lancemore Milawa

Nestled in the King Valley, Lancemore Milawa is a refined and peaceful venue for couples seeking an elevated but intimate celebration. Think soft linens, curated interiors, and floor-to-ceiling views of rolling vineyards.

Why we love it: It’s a visual dream. Everything—from the architecture to the natural light—is designed for calm beauty. It allows couples to fully sink into their day while we quietly capture the in-between moments.

Olive Hills Estate — Rutherglen



A historic homestead surrounded by vineyards and olive trees, Olive Hills Estate offers the charm of a European countryside wedding without leaving Victoria. With exposed brickwork, rustic cellars, and sprawling views, it’s both elegant and grounded. Plus a ceremony under a giant fig tree with ample shade and seating space for guests.

Why we love it: The golden-hour light here is unbelievable. There’s a softness to the property that makes every frame feel timeless—and the old-world textures create a stunning backdrop for both stills and film.

BROWN BROTHERS-MILAWA



A family-owned icon in the region, Brown Brothers blends heritage and warmth with modern hospitality. The property offers a mix of beautifully landscaped gardens, rustic cellar doors, and warm, welcoming spaces.

Why we love it: There’s a real sense of story here—of generations, of community, of celebration. It’s a venue that invites laughter, conversation, and those little emotional moments that make a film feel rich and real.

If you’re looking for something classic with a twist, De Bortoli’s Rutherglen Estate blends modern elegance with a laid-back, wine-country vibe. Set among vines with luxe finishes and plenty of space to breathe, it's ideal for couples who want both style and soul.

Why we love it: The mix of modern and rustic is perfect for storytelling. We love capturing couples wandering through the vines, glass in hand, completely in the moment.
