A chapel among the vines. A barn built for celebration. Golden hour like nowhere else in Victoria.
The Venue
An hour from Melbourne, Stones of the Yarra Valley feels like another world — a historic estate set among the vines at Coldstream, where a stone chapel, a soaring barn and acres of manicured lawns are stitched together by European-style pathways. It is, without exaggeration, one of the most cinematic wedding venues in Australia.
The Chapel is the heart of it: hand-crafted timber pews, stained glass, and vineyard views through every window. Then the celebration moves to The Barn — exposed timber, greenery overhead, candlelight down the long tables — a space that photographs like it was designed for film.
And between the two comes the Yarra Valley's great gift: golden hour over the vines. Soft, long, honeyed light that C2 Films has chased across this estate more times than we can count. We know exactly where it lands, and exactly when.

Why C2 at Stones
Stones is an estate of moments, and knowing where they happen is everything. The light through the Chapel's stained glass mid-ceremony. The walk between the vines as the sun drops. The first look at The Barn glowing with candlelight. C2 Films has captured them all, many times over.
Distance matters here too — an hour from Melbourne means your timeline has no room for a crew that's learning the estate on the day. We arrive knowing the running order the venue works to, where every key moment lands, and how to move you between chapel, vines and barn without ever making you feel rushed.
Countless weddings at Stones — we know every space, every light change, every signature moment.
Multiple cinematographers and photographers working simultaneously across the venue — nothing is missed.
The Yarra Valley's long, honeyed evening light over the vineyard creates portraits no city venue can match.
We work seamlessly alongside the Stones team — coordinated, invisible, and always ahead of the moment.
Planning Your Stones Wedding
A Stones wedding unfolds across the whole estate — chapel, lawns, vines and barn — which rewards a team that moves ahead of the day rather than behind it. While one of us holds the ceremony wide in the Chapel, another is already lighting the next location, so nothing about your day waits for us.
The estate gives C2's editors an extraordinary palette: stone, timber, stained glass, vineyard rows and that famous Yarra Valley golden hour. It grades beautifully in C2's signature champagne tones — warm, timeless, and unmistakably Stones.
Stones suits couples who want their day to feel like an escape — a destination wedding without the passport. C2 Films knows exactly how to honour it.
