What a great way to start 2020 than with the wedding of Anna and David on a beautiful Sydney summer’s day at Bondi Beach. We started with Anna’s preparations at the newly renovated and super stylish QT Hotel Bondi.
Anna is Australian and David is Canadian who currently reside in London chose to marry at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach. The venue, “The Blue Room Bondi” housed in the historic surf life saving clubhouse commands sweeping views across Bondi Beach.
Helping make the day a huge success was Pauline Fawkner who is one of Sydney’s sought after and highly professional marriage celebrants conducted the ceremony on the outdoor terrace of The Blue Room Bondi. Another highly acclaimed wedding supplier was Miriam van Cooten who is an award winning make-up artist and hairstylist with over twenty years international experience.

Being a Sydney wedding photographer can be very rewarding and fun, you get to visit some amazing venues Sydney has to offer that you otherwise would never see, unless of course you are a socialite and get invited week in week out to some amazing functions and weddings in Sydney.
In this series I am going to focus on some of my favorite venues that I’ve had the privilege to photograph at from quaint little church halls to some grandiose venues fit for royalty. I’m also more than happy to answer any questions about wedding photography you may have have if you’re thinking of having your Sydney wedding in any of the venues that I’ll be showcasing.
For my first venue, Sergeants Mess in Mosman is nestled amidst native bushland, the views are just breathtaking as it sits just above beautiful Chowder Bay in Sydney Harbour. Since they started operating this venue has been voted by critics and bridal parties alike as Sydney’s Premier wedding venue. Wedding photography in Sydney has never had more choices of stunning venues.
Operated by the Grand Pacific Group these operators surely know the hospitality and wedding industry very well.

What a great way to start the new year with than with the wedding of Alix and Richard on a beautiful Sydney summer’s wedding day in Centennial Park and a beautiful lunchtime reception at the Grounds of Alexandria in The Atrium. The ceremony in Centennial Park in Sydney’s Moore Park and a stone’s throw from my terrace studio started quite early at 10am. The temperature was starting to rise early but luckily the ceremony was held at Centennial Park She–Oak Grove and very close to the paperbark grove which is another popular Centennial Park wedding venue. All sites in Centennial park offer the best wedding photo opportunities and although its a public park many of the spots offer ample privacy.
Very soon after the ceremony, all the guests made their way to The Atrium at the Grounds of Alexandria. The Grounds of Alexandria always get the best wedding reviews and today was no exception. The events held here are always looked after impeccably. As one of Sydney’s best wedding venues all the guests at this beautiful Sydney wedding were treated to an incredible afternoon of celebration. View some of my favourite wedding photos from Centennial Park and the Atrium.

On the first day of summer, Mitsumi and Ryan’s Sydney wedding was destined to be a great big party at The Boatshed in La Perouse Sydney. Their wedding ceremony took place at Little Bay Chapel. The chapel is a perennial favourite with Sydney couples. The chapel was built and paid for from Public Subscriptions raised by the PHH Trained Nurses’ Association as a registered charity. It opened in 1967. The Chapel is a National War Memorial and is a protected building.
Sydney Celebrant Pauline Fawkner conducted the ceremony. Mitsumi’s family and many friends travelled from Yokohama Japan as well as many other countries and states to help celebrate the couples union. The reception went well into the night at this new Sydney venue which has the feel of being on a Greek island taverna, especially during summer sunsets.

Caroline and Tim were lucky to score a perfect Sydney day in October. There was no unbearable heat, no torrential rain or storms, but a perfect spring day. Guests who came from interstate and overseas would have been relieved as well as the couple, the days and weeks before the weather was very inclement.
Their beautiful ceremony took place at Dunbar House Watsons Bay with a beautiful backdrop of Sydney Harbour, a local beach and the city skyline in the distance. Dunbar House is a truly enchanting setting for a perfect sydney wedding day. This is the 3rd week in a row we had photographed a wedding at Dunbar House.
Located just 30 metres from the shores of Sydney Harbour in the expansive grounds of Robertson Park, Dunbar House is a historic mansion built in the 1830’s.

The wedding ceremony was performed by Coral Kortlepel under the famous fig tree and newly renovated grounds in front of Dunbar House and was witnessed by an intimate crowd of family and closest friends.
Tim and his groomsmen prepared for the day at Stamford Plaza Sydney Airport
I was spoilt for choice for photo opportunities with the bridal party in and around the area. Dunbar House was also the reception venue and it’s always wonderful to work there, the staff and management are highly attentive and personable to all guests and suppliers, which can be rare these days.

A couple of Saturday’s ago I had the pleasure to photograph Sonja and Richard’s wedding at The Wayside Chapel in Sydney’s King Cross where Rev Graham Long officiated the union. Both Sonja and Richard devote a substantial part of their time to volunteering at Wayside so it was never a question where they were going to hold their Sydney wedding, check out Wikipedia take on the Wayside Chapel here. Graham Long is the pastor and CEO of the Wayside Chapel, helping homeless and marginalised people in central Sydney,
A huge cake in the shape of a pizza was made and handed out to all the guests that also included allot of guests that call the Wayside Chapel “home”, this was a very special moment of the wedding day, for Sonja and Richard’s celebration, they wanted everyone to have a piece of cake – while “That’s Amore” played in the background, “when the moon hits your eye like a big pizza pie…” lalalala !
Richard and Sonja and the tuxedo wearing bridal party arrived in style in Vespas and sidecars with gave their Sydney wedding photographer Michael Zanetti plenty of photo opportunities in and around Surry Hills and Potts Point.
The Ethical wedding reception Party kicked off soon after the ceremony at The Freedom Hub in Waterloo, The Freedom Hub hosts ethical weddings and are the new ‘give back’ trend couples are looking for and the large warehouse adds the feel . All the profits from weddings or events hosted support people who have experienced human trafficking and slavery within Australia, read whats happening here….. The Vegan buffet was divine and was catered by Sonja’s daughter. The Vegan wedding cake made by My Little Panda Kitchen which I can attest to was absolutely moreish, If I hadn’t been told it was Vegan I would have never guessed. Sonja’s hair and make-up by Aleisha-Jane Beauty a very successful Surry Hills Beauty Salon.
We need more Ethical and Sustainable weddings in Sydney. Congratulations Sonja and Richard, cant wait to share more wedding photos with you. Love you long time xx
