As a Bendigo Wedding Photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories at stunning locations across the region. One venue that always delivers both beauty and versatility is St Anne’s Winery. If you’re dreaming of a regional wedding that feels relaxed, romantic, and beautiful in photos — rain or shine — this winery should be on your shortlist.
