A Romantic Wedding at Fergusson Winery, Yarra Glen – Rachel & Aidan’s Dream Day Captured in the Yarra Valley


The Robertson’s 💖 soaking it all in at @fergussonwineryweddings — and what a day it was! In true Yarra Valley fashion, Rachel & Aidan’s wedding had a beautiful day full of sunshine, and a perfect window of golden light that made their celebration at Fergusson Winery in Yarra Glen absolutely unforgettable.


Nestled just outside Yarra Glen, Fergusson Winery is one of the region's most romantic and timeless venues, and it’s always a favourite for couples who want a vineyard wedding with rustic elegance. As a Yarra Valley wedding photographer, I’m lucky enough to capture love stories in some of the most beautiful places in Victoria — and Fergusson never disappoints.

Getting Ready On-Site – A Relaxed Start to the Day


One of the things I love most about weddings at Fergusson Winery is the ease and flow of the day — and that starts with the on-site getting ready spaces.

Rachel and her bridal party got ready in one of the charming cottages on the property, tucked away just enough to feel private while still being close to the action. The natural light streaming through the windows made it the perfect spot for capturing those soft, candid moments — the quiet before the ceremony, final touches of makeup, and the emotional moment she stepped into her dress.


Meanwhile, Aidan got ready in a separate building on the other side of the property, giving both parties space to relax and enjoy their morning without any chance of crossing paths too early. The rustic textures, warm tones, and natural surroundings added so much character to their prep shots — and having both locations just minutes apart made coordinating the timeline effortless.


Having everything on-site made the day feel seamless and unhurried, allowing everyone to be fully present and enjoy every moment from start to finish.

The Perfect Winery Wedding Setting


From the moment Rachel arrived, the atmosphere was filled with excitement, laughter, and that electric joy only a wedding day brings. The vines at Fergusson were lush and orange, the air hot, and the ceremony space framed perfectly indoor by the wine barrels.

Despite earlier rain and a blazing hot afternoon, the weather settled into the most magical balance — soft light, a gentle breeze, and just the right conditions for portraits, candid moments, and celebration. Talk about wedding day luck!

A Chapel Full of Charm


One of my favourite spots at Fergusson Winery for couple portraits is the quaint church-style chapel tucked away at the front of the property. With its soft natural light, textured timber details, and quiet intimacy, it creates a romantic, almost sacred space for photos that feel timeless and deeply personal. Rachel and Aidan shared some quiet moments there together, soaking in the stillness before heading back to the celebration.

Golden Hour Among the Vines


As the sun started going down in the sky, we photographed a few golden hour portraits. The way the sunlight poured across the rows of vines was absolute magic — lighting up Rachel’s dress, catching in Aidan’s smile, and creating the kind of soft, cinematic images I live for.

The Team That Made It All Happen


Every detail of Rachel & Aidan’s day was beautifully thought out and brought to life by an incredible team of vendors:

From the blooms to the beats, every element contributed to a day that was heartfelt, joyful, and uniquely Rachel & Aidan.
