Stones of the Yarra Valley – Wedding Photography by Rick Liston + Co

Stones of the Yarra Valley on St Huberts Road in Coldstream is the most sought-after wedding destination in the region — and we’ve shot more weddings here than anywhere else in the Valley. 100+ and counting.

The photo opportunities are genuinely endless. Ceremonies can be held in the intimate chapel — with light flooding through its gorgeous high windows and acoustics that make every vow sound like it echoes through a cathedral — out on the lush lawn before the vines, or under the massive oak tree.

From the moment you drive up the oak-lined driveway, you’ll run out of time before you run out of locations. We already know every single one of them. What couples who’ve had their wedding here keep telling people afterwards is that it’s not just the venue itself that’s extraordinary — it’s the team. “They made the day run like clockwork but still so relaxed” comes up again and again, as does the food, the Tuscan-inspired Farmhouse accommodation, and that quiet sense that the entire Stones operation exists for one purpose and one purpose only: delivering an unforgettable wedding. As one couple put it, “Stones is the whole experience — everything about the venue is just perfection.”

Because so much of the property is draped in Boston ivy, Stones shifts character beautifully through the seasons. We genuinely couldn’t tell you which we prefer. You’ll love it here all year round.

Wondering whether to add a second photographer for your Stones wedding? We wrote a guide to help you decide.

“We had Rick as our wedding photographer at Stones of the Yarra Valley and all I can say is WOW. His knowledge of where to do the best shots was phenomenal. The morning after our wedding I woke up to a text message with photos — and that night he sent through a compilation video as well as around 200 photos. I don’t think anyone else could have done a better job.”

“WOW! We really don’t have words to describe how wonderful both Marcel and Scott were at our wedding at Stones of the Yarra Valley. The shots were stunning and the best part was we just went about our special day. Marcel shot the reception with ease due to his extensive experience at Stones. Why would you even consider anyone else?”
