The Anchorage, Port Stephens weddings: a photographer’s guide
Corlette · Port Stephens
Why we love The Anchorage, Port Stephens
The Anchorage is where elegance meets the marina. Think Hamptons-inspired styling with yachts bobbing quietly in the background and golden-hour light dancing across the water. From intimate ceremonies on the lawn to grand receptions in their luxe function spaces, The Anchorage gives couples a setting that feels both sophisticated and relaxed. As photographers, we can’t get enough of the variety here — boardwalk strolls, candlelit dinners overlooking the harbour, and champagne toasts against pastel sunsets. It’s the kind of venue where every frame feels timeless.

"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.
