With our expertise in conducting various styles of wedding shoots across Sydney, we have gathered for you the most beautiful and scenic places across Sydney to get your wedding ceremony photographed. In our previous blog, we had taken a dive into the Blue Mountains of Sydney. But now, here is a sneak peek into why we highly recommend the Southern Highlands for your wedding photography.

The Highlands also known as the ‘wine region’ are a 60-mile drive from the heart of Sydney. You can prepare yourselves for a quick road trip into the gorgeous plateau as we excite ourselves awaiting an amazing photoshoot. The Highlands sits centrally on the road to the Alps and the Blue Mountains.
The Kangaroo Valley in the Highlands
If you Googled up more pictures of this place, it would leave you speechless. The valley that is located in the vicinity of the Kangaroo River, this place is an exquisite spot for a lovely wedding shoot. This versatile spot has a small collection of arts and crafts shops, restaurants and cafes that you would love to hang out at. The Hampden Bridge a suspension bridge at the Kangaroo Valley is the main attraction for a themed wedding shoot in the cinematic style. This is also a great choice for Save-the-Date shoots and prewedding shoots. It is a gently sloping valley with the ambient surroundings of the Southern Highlands. You can even find the Fitzroy Falls as you move further North. It provides a wide 250-degree view of the Morton National Park.

The Bowral’s Tulips
Talk about the liveliest spot in all of the Southern Highlands, this place is the root of lush greenery and gardens. The perfect time to be there would be during the month of September when the residents of the town plant over 100,000 tulips as a part of their annual tulip festival held every year.
The Berrima Township
How about some striking photographs under the lavender shades of the trees or a vintage photoshoot aligned with the sandstone buildings of the Southern Highlands, this is the perfect spot for a themed wedding photography session. Even the Harper’s Mansion is a fantastic spot lush with gardens that sweep you off your feet.
The Colo Vale Train Station
An untold village locked away in the heart of the Northern ends of the Highlands, the well-maintained but abandoned train station is an ideal spot to host a cinematically styled wedding shoot. Perhaps we could host for you a nice vintage wedding shoot as well as train stations are the place where you express your love the most when you arrive or depart your loved ones as you bid farewell.
Mittagong

You can explore the place, thanks to the accessible boardwalk that lets you walk past the falls. You can even pay a visit to the wildlife that flourishes in the vicinity of the falls. A true place to click some candid photographs as well as striking a few marvellous poses.

The Moss Vale Golfing
Playing a game of golf is just fine, but how about a photoshoot on a golf lawn in the beautiful weather of the Southern Highlands? The Moss Vale Golf Land was established in the year 1930, which itself has a million stories to reveal. There are some really lovely benches where you can strike a few poses as well. The place is well known for its elegance, regardless of being a golf course.
The Wombeyan Caves
The maze of the underground passages with a historic story of thousands of years, the place was discovered by the Europeans as they stumbled across a world below, so scary yet so mesmerizing.
