Yarra Valley Wedding Photographer

Getting married in the Yarra Valley? I photograph the nerves, the laughs, the people you love and the moments that happen while you are busy living the day. Candid wedding photography with a little direction when you need it, and space to be yourselves when you do not.

I’m John Warren. After more than 15 years and 1,300 weddings, I know when to step in and help a room settle, and when to get out of the way. My job is to make this more fun.

Plan your Yarra Valley wedding photography

Getting married at a winery or estate? Explore my Zonzo Estate wedding photography, Stones of the Yarra Valley weddings and Tahlia & Alex at Yering Station. The real celebrations below show how I work with couples and their families.

Coverage and pricing: Wedding collections start from $3,800. Shorter weddings can be quoted individually. See what is included and tell me your date, venue and what you would like photographed.

How much time do we need? Begin with your ceremony and reception times, then decide whether you want preparations and dancing covered. I will help fit family photographs and a short portrait break around the day, rather than have photographs take it over.

Yarra Valley Wedding Photography at Coombe Estate

We finally got there and it was worth the wait!

With Covid shutdowns a bad memory and 6 date changes, we finally got there, and it shows in the joy on their faces.

I’ve got such great memories of Ramsey and his boys pissing themselves laughing all day, it was some of my best material, and the girls giggling all the way through.

Beautiful soft light at one of the prettiest venues in the Yarra Valley made it an easy shoot for me, then time to wedge the ear plugs into my head and jump around with the crazy loud drummers, its so exciting to feel the thump in your chest while the crowd goes crazy ! 🎉💍🥂

“John was a non-negotiable for us. He was so much more than a wedding photographer, he helped us with planning and made our day run seamlessly. Since going to friends weddings and seeing other photographers in action, it has made me appreciate just how good he really is, he knows when to take charge and knows when to just observe. I think he had as much fun as we did”
