Trusted Venues

Who doesn't want to get married in a gorgeous setting, surrounded by beautiful landscape with the stars shining overhead? 
All of the Wedding Venues I've listed here have an elegance and beauty that is only surpassed by mother nature herself. While I do photograph plenty of inner city weddings around the Sydney region, I'm a kiwi boy at heart and love the open space that you can only get once you leave the CBD.
