Acacia Ridge Winery in the Yarra Valley is without a doubt one of my all time favourite venues! It's one of those spots that when I book a wedding there, I know it's going to be a fun and easy day. From the gorgeous backdrop of the Great Dividing Range, the beautiful vineyards, the rustic architecture and the stunning clear roof marquee, it's photography heaven. As a Yarra Valley wedding photographer, I’ve been lucky to spend my days at some of the most beautiful wedding venues in the country, you could say that I have the inside scoop on where to go to have an awesome day. So believe me when I say that Acacia Ridge Winery should be high on your list of potential Yarra Valley wedding venues. 


Seline and Yianni had two missions they wanted to accomplish with their wedding. Number one was to have an easy and stress free day. For this wedding I wasn't capturing them getting ready, I showed up to the venue an hour before the ceremony to find Yianni and the boy's kicking back with some beers in the 1850’s Miner’s Hut they have at the venue (Which is used as a bridal suite) This relaxed energy would carry on throughout the entire wedding, which is exactly what you want on your special day. 

The second mission was to PARTY HARD. And man oh man did they accomplish this. Below you'll see what I mean, I actually stayed way longer than I was suppose to because I was having so much fun capturing the chaos. Their wedding day was everything they wanted and so much more, and I for one felt privileged that I got to photograph it.
