A Picture-Perfect Day at The Vines Resort: A Dream Wedding Venue in the Swan Valley
Nestled in the heart of the iconic Swan Valley wine region, The Vines Resort is a wedding venue that brings together natural beauty, timeless elegance, and luxurious amenities — making it a top pick for couples looking to say “I do” in style. As a wedding photographer, I’ve had the pleasure of capturing love stories across many beautiful locations, but The Vines holds a special place in my heart (and lens).
Whether you’re planning a grand celebration or an intimate elopement, The Vines offers a variety of stunning backdrops for unforgettable wedding photography. Here are some of my favourite photo spots around the resort:
⸻
📍1. The Vineyards at Sunset
Golden hour at The Vines is nothing short of magical. The rows of vineyards catch the last light of the day beautifully, creating soft, golden tones perfect for romantic portraits. This is one of my go-to spots for those dreamy, cinematic shots with the couple walking hand-in-hand between the vines.
📍2. The Lakeside
The lake is a signature feature of the resort.
📍3. The Arch
Calm, surrounded by trees. Stunning location for portraits everytime.
📍4. The Garden Courtyard
Tucked away within the resort, this space is filled with lush greenery, rustic stone pathways, and bursts of florals. It’s perfect for capturing detailed shots of the bouquet, shoes, or a quiet “first look” moment before the ceremony.
📍5. The Pavilion at night
The night time photo is a must in my opinion! And this spot always is perfect for that.
📍6. Secret spot :)
Tucked in between the lake and trees. Perfect spot for couples who want to have nice sunset photos.

Bonus Tip: Rainy Day? No Worries.
The Vines has plenty of covered spots and wide verandas, so even on a rainy day, we can still capture gorgeous, moody shots with the soft light that clouds provide. The lobby and covered balconies also provide shelter without sacrificing elegance.

Final Thoughts
As a wedding photographer, I’m always on the lookout for venues that offer variety, beauty, and flexibility — and The Vines Resort delivers on all fronts. The combination of sweeping natural landscapes and refined indoor spaces makes it a joy to shoot at every time.
If you’re planning your wedding at The Vines, I’d love to help you capture it. Whether it’s your first look by the lake, a sunset stroll through the vines, or your first dance in a candlelit reception, every moment deserves to be remembered in all its beauty.
Let’s make magic together.
