Barry and Loren on their wedding day at Mardella Meadows, Mardella

Mardella · Serpentine-Jarrahdale

Mardella Meadows
wedding photographer

Mardella Meadows is a farm about 35 km south of Perth that opened as a wedding venue in 2022 — gardens, big old trees and rustic buildings, with alpacas, cattle, sheep and horses in the meadows next door.

We have photographed two weddings here a month apart in the spring of 2024: Barry & Loren, and Ian & Juanita. Same venue, completely different days — which is the best argument for it.

The venue lists four ceremony spots. Lilac Lawns has eucalypts behind it and a choice of eight arbours; the Secret Garden sits in front of the Barn, enclosed by hedges with a stone water feature; the Corner Log is on the grass in the corner of the property; and The Hedges gives you a cleaner, modern backdrop. If it rains, the ceremony moves into the Chapel.

What makes it for photographs is that it is still a farm. Post-and-rail fences, open paddocks, hay bales, an old truck in a shed and animals over the fence give you a dozen backdrops inside a short walk, and nobody has to get into a car.

Out on the paddocks the last hour of light comes in low and golden. Both galleries on this page were made in it — build fifteen minutes into your timeline at that point and you will not regret it.

Practically: you get exclusive use of the whole property from 8am to midnight and the bridal suite from 7am, the venue runs BYO drinks with catering options, and an event coordinator manages the day.

A real wedding here

A kiss among the hay bales
Close together in the golden light
The first kiss beside the arbour
Among the hay bales, the bouquet held between them
Together under a gum by the paddock in the evening light
Nose to nose with the paddock glowing behind them
Blue and orange flowers across the top of the white arbour
The rings in a timber box on a weathered white board

And another one here

Ian & Juanita

A kiss by the post-and-rail fence in the late sun
The bride straightening his tie inside the circular timber arbour
The first kiss, framed by the circular arbour
Both laughing at the end of the ceremony
Smiling together with the garden and paddock behind them
The ring going on, framed by the timber circle
