Project: Café and food photography for Wombat Hill House, Daylesford, Victoria

Result: A seasonal library of food, garden and café images that the team describes as "exactly what we hoped for"


Overview

Wombat Hill House is a café in the old caretaker's cottage at the top of the Wombat Hill Botanic Gardens in Daylesford. Its seasonal, garden-inspired menu uses produce from its own farm, and guests eat in the courtyard or on a terrace among the vines and planters.


What they wanted

Images that capture the look and feel of their "little café on the hill", and the experience of having brunch in the garden setting with a relaxed atmosphere.


What I delivered
  • Brunch: croissants, French toast, poached eggs with haloumi and fresh juice
  • Lunch: pasta, pizza and a glass of wine in the garden
  • The garden tables under the vines, and the setting in the Botanic Gardens
  • Coffee and café details
  • The feeling of sitting in a garden on a lovely Spring day


The outcome
  • Beautiful, professional photography capturing the atmosphere and delicious food


In their words

"We loved working with Sue at our little café on the hill in Daylesford. She made the whole collaboration feel so smooth and effortless, truly capturing the look and feel we were after. The images are beautiful and exactly what we hoped for. We’re so grateful for her talent and professionalism, and we’re already looking forward to many more collaborations in the future."
