Rivervale Barn Wedding Photographer

Rivervale Barn is such a great wedding venue, it’s beautiful with a fantastic team to ensure your day runs smoothly. The venue is well designed to cater for weddings. It’s a joy to photograph here and I had a lot of fun here at Sofie & Matt’s wedding.

Have a look at the following collection of photographs which I captured at Rivervale Barn. It’s always nice to see a few more photos from a wedding as you get a better feel for the whole day and the types of photos you may receive. If you want to see the whole gallery let me know and we can jump on a zoom call to view them.
