Let me tell you a little secret…
As someone who lives just 10 minutes down the road from Stones of the Yarra Valley, I’ve photographed more weddings at this venue than I can count on two hands (and probably my toes, too).
And yet?
Every single time I drive through those gates, it still gives me butterflies.
Why I’ll Never Get Tired of Photographing at Stones of the Yarra Valley
There’s a reason Stones of the Yarra Valley is the most booked venue on my calendar — and why couples keep choosing it again and again. It’s timeless. It’s cinematic. It’s full of heart.
The light here is dreamy. The spaces — from the stone chapel to the Barn and the Stables — give so much room for creativity and storytelling. It’s luxe without being too polished. Rustic without being cliché. And no matter how many times I’ve shot here, it never, ever feels the same.
Why? Because your story makes it different.
Familiar Doesn’t Mean Repetitive
I get this question a lot:
“Do all your Stones weddings look the same?”
Short answer? Nope.
Long answer? Not even close.
Knowing the venue like the back of my hand is a huge advantage — not a creative limitation. It means I can walk in and instantly know where the light’s falling, which corner will work best for your couple portraits, and how to pivot when the weather turns or timelines get squeezed.
But the way I photograph your wedding? That’s shaped by you.
Your dynamic, your energy, your styling, your people — it all shapes the way your gallery looks and feels.
The Perks of Booking a Photographer Who Knows the Venue
When you book a wedding photographer who’s photographed at Stones of the Yarra Valley dozens of times (hi, me 👋), you get way more than just pretty photos.
You get:
✔️ Confidence in all lighting and weather conditions
✔️ Timeline guidance that’s specific to the venue’s flow
✔️ Seamless collaboration with the amazing Stones team
✔️ Calm, grounded energy (because I know exactly what to expect — and how to make magic no matter what)
And if I’m being honest? Living so close means I show up feeling fresh and present. No long drives. No stress. Just full creative energy, ready to tell your story with intention.
No Two Weddings Are the Same
It’s easy to think that once you’ve photographed a venue a handful of times, you’ve “seen it all.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth.
The thing is — every couple brings their own rhythm to the day.
Some are soft and romantic. Others are full of spark and play. Some want golden hour portraits in the olive grove. Others want party candids that feel like a still from a film.
Your love is unique. And that’s what keeps me inspired.
