The Southern Highlands is one of my favourite regions to photograph weddings. Rolling hills, vineyard views, historic estates and that cool country air – it makes for stunning images. Here are the venues I’ve personally photographed and would recommend.
Perched atop a hill overlooking the expansive vineyards of Bowral, Centennial Vineyards is one of the most beautiful wedding venues in the region. With its stunning views, manicured gardens, and versatile indoor and outdoor spaces, Centennial Vineyards provides an idyllic setting for weddings of all sizes. Whether you envision an intimate ceremony under the wisteria-draped archway or a grand reception in the elegant ballroom, Centennial Vineyards can accommodate all. Here’s the beautiful wedding of Gen & Michael that I had the pleasure of documenting.
Step back in time at Montrose House, a grand Victorian mansion exuding elegance and timeless charm. Surrounded by lush gardens and offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside, Montrose House provides a romantic and sophisticated setting for your special day. The venue’s versatile spaces include the grand ballroom, the intimate conservatory, and the sprawling lawns. You can see Taryn and Dave’s plus Jess and James’s Montrose weddings here.
Melross & Willow’s Estate, Kangaroo Valley
Escape to the tranquil beauty of Melross & Willow’s Estate, a secluded property nestled amidst the serene Kangaroo Valley. With its rustic charm, stunning natural beauty, and intimate atmosphere, Melross & Willow’s Estate offers a unique and unforgettable wedding experience. Exchange vows under the majestic oak trees, host a reception in the rustic barn or indulge in a gourmet long table under the stars. Check out Emily & Nick’s story here
Embrace the coastal beauty of Greyleigh, a grand oceanfront estate perched atop cliffs overlooking the Pacific Ocean. With its stunning views, elegant architecture, and luxurious accommodations, Greyleigh provides a sophisticated and unforgettable setting for your wedding celebration. Exchange vows on the expansive lawns with the ocean as your backdrop, host a reception in the minimal concrete barn, and indulge in the exclusivity of a private estate. See the beautiful wedding of Ash and Marcus here.
I’ve photographed weddings across the Southern Highlands and know these venues and their light intimately. If you’re getting married down here and looking for a photographer who knows the region, I’d love to hear from you.
