The magic of the outdoors is always a favourite setting for a wedding. This incredibly beautiful shoot of outdoor winery wedding ideas with marsala brings together lush green foliage (including the most stunning sweeping willow tree) with glam bold tones of black and gold to create the most romantic setting for a celebration.

Photographer Amanda Afton Photography tells “This shoot is close to my heart because it’s the first collaborative shoot I’ve done where the whole look and feel of it originated with me. It’s quite a terrifying experience as someone who can’t really credit herself with any sort of talent in design or an eye for the big picture. But the theme of this shoot also came quite naturally after visiting the location. Brookside is designed to remind visitors of strolling through a European garden and I envisioned the wedding styling in a place like this to complement the lush vines and deep greens without being too overpowering.”

At the beautiful Brookside Vineyard, Amanda teamed up with stylist & floral designer Marielle Studio, with rentals from A La Table and Her Hand Picked Harvest and a glam wedding cake by Petit Poh.

Our models Chris and Pip were “married” by Belinda Clinton – Love Your Way. The bride dressed in Madeleine Ruth with hair and makeup by Hollie Shara MUA and The One Hair and Body and sparkled with jewels from Luca Jouel. 

Amanda adding “My favourite part was whisking the couple away at the end to a tranquil spot I had stumbled across earlier for some more relaxed, intimate shots. Because the Hills were really my inspiration in the first place, I knew I had to find a spot with a lookout. Chris and Pip humoured my request for a little adventure and we found ourselves looking out over an amazing view of the valley, just as the sun gave us the last of its light.”
