The Northern Beaches is one of my favourite places to photograph weddings. That relaxed, sun-bleached, salt-in-the-air energy makes for beautiful images – and the venues up here are some of the best in Sydney. Here’s a selection I’d personally recommend.
Set among sand dunes at North Palm Beach on the Northern Beaches, Weddings are their specialty. With manicured gardens and surrounding natural Australian flora, they can offer the perfect setting for an intimate ceremony, followed by pre-reception drinks. Or if you are looking for a larger reception, they can cater for a seated or cocktail-style wedding.
Perched high above Whale Beach, Jonah’s is the ultimate beachside location for your wedding. Jonah’s unique location, breathtaking views, first-class service and luxuriously appointed furnishings will leave you & your guests with a truly memorable experience on your special day. The spectacular cliff-top garden is the perfect location for your ceremony, pre-reception drinks & canapés, photo shoot or simply somewhere to relax & enjoy the amazing view.
Nothing else can compare to the privacy, beauty and luxury of Jonah’s.
Come ashore by boat. Be married on the heritage wharf overlooking idyllic Quarantine Beach, or on the picturesque grassy slopes of North Head, with stunning views of Sydney Harbour as your backdrop.
From something small and intimate to a banquet for up to 180 people, Q Station’s all-inclusive wedding packages can include the ceremony, as well as a range of reception choices.
Located on the iconic & unique west-facing beach in Manly-Shelly Beach, The Boathouse offers beautiful water views and a private setting for your special occasion. There are two package options for Weddings + events at the Boathouse Shelly Beach – the Canapé Style Event or Sit Down Event.
The Palms Eatery, Terrey Hills
Nestled in the bushland of Terrey Hills, The Palms Eatery offers a relaxed and intimate setting for weddings. With its warm, earthy interiors and lush outdoor surrounds, it’s a beautiful option for couples looking for something a little more tucked away without straying too far from the beach. The venue suits smaller, more personal celebrations perfectly.
I’ve photographed weddings at venues across the Northern Beaches and know these locations well. If you’re getting married up here and looking for a photographer who knows the light, the spots and the vibe – I’d love to hear from you.
