Aimee and Darren’s Seppeltsfield Wines wedding in the Barossa Valley was nothing short of spectacular. The historic winery, famous for its stunning architecture and lush vineyard landscapes, provided a breathtaking backdrop for their special day. The warmth of the summer sun added an extra glow to the occasion, making every detail shimmer with romance.

Seppeltsfield winery is the heart of the Barossa, a winery synonymous with history and grandeur. The century-old palm-lined avenues, charming stone buildings, and rolling vineyards make it a dream setting for a wedding. Aimee and Darren embraced this timeless beauty, creating a celebration that perfectly blended elegance with the relaxed charm of the Barossa.

Aimee’s Preparation

The morning began at the Barossa Novotel, where Aimee got ready alongside her bridesmaids, her little flower girl, and her mum. Their room, overlooking the inviting blue pool, was filled with excitement and laughter. Given the sweltering heat of the day, that pool looked more and more tempting as the preparations went on! The space was cozy, bustling with activity, and filled with the scent of fresh florals and the hum of last-minute touches.

A beautifully sentimental moment unfolded when Aimee’s dad entered the room for the first look. The emotion on his face spoke volumes—a mixture of pride, love, and a touch of nostalgia. It was one of those raw, heartfelt moments that define a wedding day. With the final spritz of perfume and a last-minute fluff of the veil, Aimee was ready to make her way to the winery for the ceremony.

Seppeltsfield Wines Wedding Ceremony

The courtyard at Seppeltsfield was adorned with white umbrellas, offering guests a welcome reprieve from the sun. The grand doors at one end of the courtyard served as a striking ceremony backdrop, a natural frame for the vows that were about to be exchanged, and the historic stone walls, dappled with ivy, added a rustic elegance that complemented the warm tones of the afternoon light.

Despite the soaring temperatures—so hot my camera began overheating at one point—the ceremony was filled with warmth of a different kind: the kind that comes from heartfelt vows, beaming smiles, and the overwhelming support of family and friends. Short and sweet, it was the perfect length, allowing guests to retreat to the shade while Aimee and Darren basked in the joy of their first moments as husband and wife.

Glamour Photos

After the ceremony, we took full advantage of Seppeltsfield’s stunning grounds for their glamour photos. The courtyard, wrapped in a thick blanket of ivy, provided a naturally textured backdrop that looked straight out of a fairytale. Aimee and Darren, still buzzing from their vows, were naturals in front of the camera, sharing soft glances and playful moments that made capturing their love a dream.

The sun streamed through the tree-lined walkway leading to their reception space, creating a golden glow that added a cinematic quality to their portraits. Strolling beneath the trees, hand in hand, they looked every bit like a couple straight from a romance novel.

Seppeltsfield Wines Wedding Reception

The reception took place in one of Seppeltsfield’s impressive barrel rooms, a grand space lined with towering wine barrels. Thankfully, large industrial fans kept the room (large shed) comfortable, allowing the celebration to unfold in a relaxed and lively atmosphere. The decor embraced the winery’s natural charm, with rustic wooden tables, glowing fairy lights, and an earthy colour palette that echoed the surrounding vineyards.

The speeches were a highlight of the night, each one filled with heartfelt anecdotes, humour, and well-wishes. A standout moment was one speech delivered entirely in the style of a horse racing announcer, a hilarious nod to the couple’s passion for the sport. The couple also played the ever-entertaining shoe game, providing plenty of laughs as they revealed their perspectives on married life’s little quirks.

As the evening progressed, we stole away for some sunset portraits amongst the vines. The golden light draped them in the most romantic glow, highlighting the quiet joy of the moment. With the Barossa hills stretching into the distance, it was the perfect way to capture the magic of their day.
