The first thing I noticed about Samantha and Patrick in our initial meeting is how fun they are. You just want to be around them. When I was shooting their wedding I also noticed how they have this unbelievable gift of making everyone around them feel included and loved. It was a beautiful thing to witness.
They chose Lancemore Macedon Ranges as their wedding location, which is around an hours drive from Melbourne. It is a perfect venue for those wanting a wedding in the great outdoors. The view absolutely did not disappoint.
Lancemore Macedon Ranges will take your breath away from the moment you arrive.

As a wedding photographer, I know I have so much experience shooting various locations and venues. So I thought giving some thoughts about each venue I’ve shot would be helpful to potential couples locking down all their wedding plans. So here are all my thoughts after shooting at Lancemore Macedon Ranges!
As the name suggests Lancemore Macedon Ranges is tucked away in the Macedon Ranges, which is just over an hour from Melbourne. It surrounded by 274 acres of Australian bush and rolling hills which stretch as far as the eye can see. I remember when I arrived the first thing I saw was group of kangaroos grazing on the lawn, which really added to the charm. The venue itself is close enough to the quaint town of Lancefield to be accessible yet far enough away that it feels completely private.
There are two ceremony locations to choose from, either on a hill top under an elm tree overlooking the farmland or in a courtyard surrounded by a giant hedge (They call it the secret garden). Both are equally stunning, as you'll see below Sam and Patrick decided to go for the hill top! They also decided to get ready onsite to make things easy. The venue has a large homestead and rooms enough for up to 72 guests. The bridal suites especially are absolutely stunning, with plenty of natural light coming in which is a photographers best friend!
You have access to the entire property which has a crazy amount of variety from a wedding photographers perspective. Out the front is a stunning European inspired driveway. There is also a gorgeous little bridge leading towards a giant willow tree, wide open paddocks perfect for sunset, and of course the secret garden which looks incredible with the sun poking through the gaps in the hedges.
If you choose Lancemore Macedon Ranges for your wedding, you’ll not only have a gorgeous outdoor nature-inspired wedding, but also with the large amount of accomodation they have onsite you can really make an entire weekend of celebrating with your loved ones. Lancemore Macedon Ranges is a great venue to have an incredibly fun and memorable wedding.
Getting married at this venue means having up to 200 of your nearest and dearest by your side, panoramic FARMLAND views, professional and flexible catering services (choose from either canapes or a sit-down dinner).
"Lachlan is truly the best. My now husband and I are not big into photos and Lachie just made us feel right at home. His style of photography is also spectacular, there is not a single photo we do not love. I’ve looked at the photos every day since receiving them and the entire album is just PERFECT. If I had a million events that warranted a photographer, Lachlan would be our guy, ever. Single. Time."
