The Central Coast is surrounded by beauty - our beaches, national parks and coastlines are the envy of many, and it makes my job as a photographer so bloody easy! But did you know that we also house some of the most incredible wedding venues in NSW? Gone are the days you would have to travel to the Hunter Valley or Sydney to find top notch venues - now they are right on our doorstep.

I’ve been so lucky to shoot at some incredible venues, but some of my favourites are so very close. If you are on the hunt for a venue - check out my list below and choose one of these homegrown favourites to host your love fest.

THE RIDGE ESTATE

What can I say about The Ridge Estate - it’s so beautiful in every way! You will be in the best of hands with Nicole, the entire team dedicated to ensuring you have the most incredible day possible. There is accomodation on site so your loved ones and bridal party can stay close. It is beautifully rustic and casual, the epitome of a property wedding (one of my favourites), a blank canvas for you to bring in caterers, food trucks, cocktail bars - whatever you like to add your own unique touch. The grounds are gorgeously lush (a dream to photograph!). If this seems like your vibe, reach out to Nicole and book an inspection - you won’t be disappointed!

2. GRACELANDS

Gracelands is one of my absolute favourite venues on the Coast. Nestled in suburban Forresters Beach, this gorgeous little venue offers both ceremony and reception locations, perfect for you and your guests to enjoy! The relaxed long tabled seating plan inside really adds a communal feel, enjoying some of the BEST food I have ever tasted, while enjoying drinks and the company of your loved ones. It’s close to Forries beach and the lookout, so a quick 2 minute drive for photos. It has it all!

3. BELLS AT KILLCARE

This little hidden gem is an absolute treat - for both your guests and me as a photographer! The grounds are stunning, the perfect backdrop for photos, and the all-in-one aspect (ceremony, reception & accomodation) makes this one of my favourite intimate locations on the Central Coast. I always have a blast shooting there, and my clients always rave about them and their service. An all in one venue is always one of my favourites - it makes everything so easy for you and your guests!

4. GLENWORTH VALLEY

While this venue is more commonly known for their adventure offerings, it is the most incredible backdrop for a wedding! With several options for ceremony location, the most beautiful reception venue, and the option for camping/glamping on site, it really is the venue that has it all. I absolutely love it when I get to do a Glenworth Valley wedding!

5. THE SPRINGS

It’s always a good time when I get to do a wedding at The Springs. The beautiful location and STUNNING reception room (seriously, the brick and lights are my favourite) are just two incredible features of this location, not to mention the incredible food. Every wedding I have done here has been a banger.
