Vaucluse House weddings: a photographer’s guide

Vaucluse · Sydney

About Vaucluse House

Vaucluse House is one of Sydney’s few 19th-century mansions still surrounded by its original gardens and grounds, with the estate stretching down to the harbour. It is run by Museums of History NSW (formerly Sydney Living Museums), and only one wedding is held at a time.

Ceremony and reception

Ceremonies are held outdoors in the grounds, with the sandstone verandah as the wet-weather option. Listings put ceremonies at up to about 200 guests and receptions at about 80 to 146, catered in-house by PEARL. Music ends at 10.30 pm.

Photo spots we look for

The verandahs, the formal gardens and the old trees give us a classic, timeless look. Kat & Aaryn’s wedding shows the estate beautifully.

"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.
