Coombe Yarra Valley is one of my favourite wedding venues in Melbourne and the Yarra Valley, offering a stunning location for a couple, family and friends to celebrate. Nathan and Kate’s love for each other is real, the way they look at each other just oozes bestie and life long partner. Surrounded by beautiful family & friends, loads of laughs, hugs & tears. So much emotion.

Here’s a bit of back ground info about Coombe if you are thinking of getting married in the Yarra Valley : Coombe Cottage, the former home of Dame Nellie Melba was purchased in 1909 and is set across seven stunning acres of manicured gardens. The provenance and elegance of the property makes Coombe one of the most sought after wedding venues in Australia. The property includes the main formal private garden in which you can hold your ceremony in a personalised variety of locations that suit the style, season and size of your wedding.

Side note : When I edit wedding photos, so when I sit down in front of my desktop and start the process I always enjoy the process looking at the spirit, the joy, the emotion, the contentment. I say this becasue when I’m at a wedding I don’t have time to reflect on moments as they are passing us by at the wedding, it’s the real beauty of a photograph. Re-living the moment.

When I first met up with Nathan and Kate we connected immediately and it was like that the whole way through. The wedding ceremony was perfect. There were tears, laughter and more tears… It was perfect from start to finish. There was a real coming together, it felt like that there was more than just a sense of getting married going on.

Thanks so much Nathan + Kate for having me out to Coombe Yarra Valley to photograph your wedding!
