Giving negative feedback is one thing. Outright abuse is quite different.

It's clear to see why Mitchell Gaffney and Maddy Edsell chose the beautiful Wandin Estate as the venue for their wedding day.

The tranquil vineyard, with stands of eucalyptus trees dotted around the property, sits in the Hunter Valley, an area renowned for hosting weddings of couples starting new chapters in their lives.

Photos, seen by 9news.com.au, show Gaffney and Edsell's wedding unfolding on a perfect winter's day, under endless blue skies.

There are photographs of Gaffney and Edsell cutting into a three-layer cake, and another one of Edsell driving a convertible VW Beetle restored by her father across the grass of the estate.

She is beaming, and waves to family and friends with one hand.

Seven self-contained villas allow some guests to stay on Wandin Estate, while others who attend weddings at the venue head off and travel to their homes or other accommodation in the area.

The large white bus that carried dozens of guests away from Gaffney and Edsell's wedding never made it to its destination.

It catastrophically rolled over about 11.30pm on Sunday night while trying to navigate an off-ramp near the Hunter expressway, about 50km north-west of Newcastle.

Ten people are dead and more than 20 in hospital, including one person in a critical condition.

The 58-year-old driver Brett Button has been arrested and charged with 10 counts of dangerous driving occasioning death – drive manner dangerous and negligent driving occasioning death.

He was refused bail and will appear at Cessnock Local Court tomorrow.

Police believe the bus was heading to Singleton, a road journey that would normally take around 35 minutes.

Singleton, a town of 16,000 people situated on the banks of the Hunter River, is believed to be home for many guests at the wedding, including the newlyweds.

Gaffney and Edsell both played for the Singleton Roosters Australian Rules football team.

Gaffney had joined the club after moving north from Melbourne, the city where he and Edsell had grown up, it's believed.

Guests at the wedding also included players from Warrandyte Cricket Club in Melbourne, where Gaffney used to play.

Gaffney and Edsell were Warrandyte locals, a suburb in the north-east of Melbourne, until they moved to NSW several years ago.

Warrandyte Cricket Club president Royce Jaksic told The Sydney Morning Herald there were up to nine current players and their partners on the bus at the time of the crash.

Jaksic said some wedding guests had suffered "some minor injuries – a broken jaw, a broken collarbone, things like that".

"But you know, compared to the 10 people that have tragically lost their lives, I think we've been blessed in this one," he said.

"If you do the maths, they've been extremely lucky. We've just got fingers and toes crossed that no-one else loses their lives."

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese was just one of many public figures who expressed their sympathies to the victim's loved ones.

"For a joyous day like that in a beautiful place to end with such terrible loss of life and injury is so cruel and so sad and so unfair," Albanese said.

"People hire a bus for weddings in order to keep their guests safe, and that just adds to the unimaginable nature of this tragedy."

Albanese described the crash, and the deep scars it will leave behind, as "horrific", while Premier Chris Minns called it "a terrible, terrible event in the history of New South Wales".

Local Kim Greco was among those who left flowers near the scene.

"One of the happiest days of your lives and turns into one of the most tragic," she said.

"The initial information we have is the vessel capsized in rough seas and the men remained with that vessel until they were rescued," Ibell said.

"Subsequent checks of mobile phone data indicated the position was more likely to be out in the vicinity of Batt Reef."

Police found an overturned boat at about 12.45am this morning and rescued a 24-year-old man and a 26-year-old man from the water.

The US State Department has confirmed the arrest of American citizen Travis Leake in Russia and said US embassy officials attended his arraignment on the weekend.

Moscow's courts of general jurisdiction earlier released a statement on the social media app Telegram saying a US citizen had been detained on drugs charges.

Leake was detained on Saturday where "the Khamovniki District Court of Moscow took a preventive measure against an American citizen," it said.

A court statement identified him "Travis Michael Leek."

"The former paratrooper and musician is accused of engaging in the narcotics business through attracting young people," the statement said.

It added he had appeared at the court of Moscow on Saturday, June 10 and will remain in custody until August 6, 2023.

On Sunday, the US State Department confirmed Leake's detention.

"We can confirm that Michael Travis Leake was arrested and is detained in Moscow. Embassy officials attended his arraignment on June 10," a spokesperson told CNN.

"We will continue to monitor the case closely."

"The US Department of State and our embassies and consulates abroad have no greater priority than the safety and security of US citizens overseas," they said.

"When a US citizen is detained overseas, the department pursues consular access as soon as possible and works to provide all appropriate consular assistance."

Leake's mother says she hasn't heard from officials yet

Leake's mother Glenda Garcia says she has yet to hear from US government officials regarding the current status of her son and is worried about what he's going through.

"Of course, I am worried. Of course, I am concerned, " she told CNN on Sunday. "He's in prison in a foreign country, that is a concern."

Garcia said she doesn't know if her son has a lawyer and she doesn't know what to do herself.

"I have not heard from the State Department. If I don't hear from them tomorrow, I will try to call them," she said. "I don't really know anything other than what I heard on the news."

Garcia last spoke with her son on Mother's Day, she said, noting they typically talk every few weeks.

Regarding her son's time in Russia, Garcia said, "I know he was in a band, I know he taught English."

Denial of guilt

Video of Leake's arrest from his home and a mug shot from a Russian police station were published by Russian media outlets on last Thursday.

Ren TV, a tabloid outlet, reported Leake's statements to police in which he reportedly said: "I don't understand why I'm here. I don't admit guilt, I don't believe I could have done what I'm accused of because I don't know what I'm accused of."

The arrest comes amid Russia's war with Ukraine, which has seen already poor relations between the US and Russia plummet.

In March, Russian security services arrested US journalist Evan Gershkovich, accusing him of spying, which he denies.

Interviewed by Anthony Bourdain

CNN filmed with Leake in 2014 for an episode of Parts Unknown in Moscow and St. Petersburg.

Host Anthony Bourdain had personally hand-picked Leake to participate in the show.

In the episode, Leake talked about his frustrations with censorship and relayed an incident involving his band and MTV. "This was a documentary series about musicians standing up and risking their lives in some cases, to stand up against government abuse of power, government corruption," he said. "And yet, a foreign government was able to editorially control what Americans viewers see on their TV screens. That to me is a scandal of epic proportion."

Darya Tarasova, who had produced the episode, said the "band wasn't that famous but Travis and his friends had been very vocal about the freedom of speech and state oppression in Russia. Bourdain really liked that interview," she said.

"Travis was a showman; very articulate and he loved Russia," Tarasova added. "Bands from the Moscow rock scene would go to him to write songs in English for them and proofread their lyrics," she said.

"The last time we spoke was in 2018 and he seemed depressed and upset, but Travis would never do the things he is being accused of. He is an American in Russia and is very aware of the situation he's in. But I'm surprised he stayed after the war started, as it was very risky for him."

Social media accounts and videos confirmed by a CNN reporter show Leake as a frontman in Lovi Noch, which translates to "Catch the Night."

He was also a music producer for other Russian music groups during his time in Moscow.
