This unique venue offered the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort, allowing all their family and friends to stay together on site. With eight beautifully styled country cabins and lots of cozy glamping tents, everyone could fully immerse themselves in the celebration.

Plus, the friendly farm animals—horses, goats, alpacas, chickens, cows, peacocks, and ponies—added a playful, heartwarming touch to the day.
The wedding morning kicked off with a festival-inspired breakfast in the glamping area. Hayley and her bridesmaids prepared for the big day in the stunning Lakehouse, surrounded by laughter, champagne, and a beautiful first look. Meanwhile, Dylan and his groomsmen got ready in the cozy Hen House, sharing pre-ceremony drinks to calm their nerves.
Their ceremony took place in the whimsical bush chapel, a breathtaking setting adorned with floor-to-ceiling vintage mirrors, glittering chandeliers, and a stunning pathway lined with arbours. Dylan and Hayley exchanged heartfelt, personally written vows, taking everyone on a touching walk down memory lane.
After the ceremony, guests enjoyed a lively cocktail hour while the bridal party captured timeless portraits around the venue. The reception blended indoor elegance with outdoor charm; guests shared intimate moments under the stars during the first dance, followed by a delicious dinner on long banquet tables inside. Emotional speeches, a delectable cake, and a lively dance floor kept the energy high well into the night, with a saxophonist adding an extra layer of fun and soul to the celebration.
Dylan and Hayley’s wedding at The Woods Farm was truly a magical, unforgettable day filled with love, laughter, and cherished memories. Getting the opportunity to photograph this wedding was really special to me so thank you guys.

Set on 100 acres of untouched bushland, this place isn’t just a venue, it’s a full experience. With no interruptions, no competing events, and nature doing most of the heavy lifting, it felt more like a private celebration deep in the wilderness than a typical wedding.
The ceremony took place at the Rock Cathedral, a natural amphitheatre surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs. It was dramatic, grounded, and deeply personal, exactly the kind of setting that doesn’t need much dressing up.
As the sun dropped behind the valley, the couple snuck away for portraits that were nothing short of cinematic. Golden light, a sprawling horizon, and the kind of views that leave you speechless, it all came together effortlessly.
Later, everyone gathered for drinks at the lookout which was a fun and relaxed start to the afternoon. As the night rolled in, the fire lit up and the dancing started under a blanket of stars.
