As a wedding photographer frequently covering weddings in the Barossa Valley, I have had the pleasure of capturing many beautiful moments and memories over the years. However, there was something truly special about Alpana and James’ Peter Lehmann Winery wedding in the Barossa Valley. From the stunning venue to the surprise horse and cart arrival, this wedding was truly one of a kind.

Peter Lehmann Winery Wedding Ceremony

I had the honour of capturing every moment of Alpana and James’ special day beginning with with their ceremony, which took place on the grassy area, flanked by gum trees in front of the Old Redemption Cellar and continued through to their reception, conveniently located in this modern venue space.

Alpana arrived via horse and cart, which was a complete surprise to her, thanks to James’ thoughtful gift. It was a magical moment, and I was able to capture the surprise and joy on Alpana’s face as she arrived at the venue before being led down the aisle flanked by her Mother and Father.

Their ceremony was intermingled by heartfelt vows, readings from close friends and of course the little show-stopping cameos of cute children running about!

Throughout the day, Alpana and James’ goal was to capture their day in a natural way, with very little posing and a very photo journalistic approach. As a wedding photographer, I was thrilled to work with a couple who valued authenticity and wanted their day to be captured in a natural and unobtrusive way. This allowed me to capture candid moments and emotions, which created a beautiful and authentic record of their special day.

The surrounds of the Peter Lehmann Winery, and the time of the day combined with the weather really made things easy for me as the lovely warm glow of the sun beautifully complimented everything that we did!

Peter Lehmann Winery Wedding Reception

Nestled behind the iconic Peter Lehmann Wines Cellar Door, The Old Redemption cellar boasts stunning vistas of the lush green lawns and native eucalyptus trees, making it the perfect location for any special occasion.

The recently refurbished venue is flooded with natural light and boasts expansive floor-to-ceiling glass doors that lead out to a charming terrace overlooking the picturesque scenery. The sophisticated and contemporary decor of Old Redemption can accommodate up to 300 guests, making it an ideal setting for a wide range of events.

The space is huge! and very dark, which makes any photo taken within this space really accentuate the people I’m taking photos of – it was actually quite a bit of fun!
