Palms Pavilion weddings: a photographer’s guide
Tiona, Pacific Palms · Wallis Lake
Why we love Palms Pavilion
Set right by the water at Shoal Bay, Palms Pavilion blends coastal elegance with a relaxed, beachside atmosphere. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and frame sweeping ocean views, giving your wedding a bright, airy feel from ceremony through to reception. From a photographer’s perspective, we love how the soft seaside light shifts throughout the day — from crisp blues in the afternoon to dreamy pinks and golds at sunset — making every moment effortlessly romantic.

"We always felt like we were in such good hands."
We honestly couldn’t recommend Chris, Jacob, Casey and the entire Bedroom Studios team enough! … Casey was amazing throughout the entire lead-up to our wedding. … Then, on the day, Chris and Jacob were absolutely incredible. They were so professional, fun, relaxed and easy-going, and made us feel completely comfortable from start to finish…

"They absolutely nailed the brief."
We absolutely adore our preview pictures and cannot wait to see our full album already. They absolutely nailed the brief and matched the vibe we were going for incredibly well. Super talented and easy to deal with from the get-go. Casey is wonderful to deal with and makes everything super easy and seamless.
