Whether you’re a city slicker or a country lover, active or laid-back types the state of New South Wales has every kind of location you could imagine for a memorable wedding day and honeymoon.

For a stylish city wedding there’s nowhere better than the capital city of Sydney providing endless stunning backdrops and locations from the Harbour and the opera house to more hidden locations that you may only find out about if you consult an experienced wedding photographer in NSW.

Everybody wants their photographs to be individual and memorable, whether it is the traditional album or the modern popular wedding video. But the key is to choose an experienced wedding photographer, consult with them in plenty of time and give them the chance to scout for unusual views and interesting features to include in this record of your big day.

NSW provides opportunities for everything from a city to a beach wedding or for something more unusual why not combine wedding and honeymoon at the ski slopes at Charlotte Pass – just make sure your wedding photographer NSW is comfortable on skis!!!

Country and Western fans could choose to marry in Tamworth, Australia’s country music capital south of the Queensland border. If it’s a real passion why not consider having a themed wedding there, particularly when there is a special event or festival taking place. An experienced wedding photographer can capture the atmosphere for you perfectly.

Or how about a wedding on water floating or float down the Hawkesbury River on a houseboat? Once the ceremony is complete you could even spend your honeymoon on a leisurely trip on board!

Sydney dwellers who marry in the city could take the opportunity of their honeymoon to explore this diverse state.

Visit Port Stephens and Forster to watch the dolphins or get away by yourselves in the World Heritage-listed wilderness of Barrington Tops. Perhaps if you’re the active type it’s the perfect opportunity to do something you have always meant to but never quite managed and climb in the Blue Mountains. Or how about Mt Kosciuszko, Australia’s highest mountain and when you reach the top you can explore the UNESCO Biosphere Reserve which contains 20 species of plants that are to be found nowhere else on the planet.

For those with a passion for wine Hunter Valley’s many vineyards and lovely countryside may be the perfect setting for both wedding and honeymoon. With plenty of tours, a choice of accommodation and the Hunter River running through the region there will be more than enough to enjoy during this special time.

An idyllic wedding and honeymoon in the green and laid back shire of Noosa

Some couples dream of a stylish, urban and sophisticated setting for their big day and choose to marry in locations like Sydney.

For others, their ideal wedding location will be somewhere more relaxed and rural followed by a relaxed honeymoon lazing on the beach or perhaps exploring the local national parks and wildlife with maybe the occasional evening’s entertainment of film, theatre or a meal out.

If this is your choice the perfect place for you could be the shire of Noosa on Australia’s beautiful Gold Coast approximately 81 Kilometres south of Brisbane.

Noosa is the location of one of Australia’s few north-facing beaches, Main Beach, which makes it protected from on shore winds and with gentle waves for safe swimming.

Around the headland is Alexandria Bay, a beautiful, quiet sandy beach reachable only on foot through the Noosa National Park.

Consult a local Wedding photographer Noosa to find the best locations for pictures and perhaps you could consider having a beach wedding.

With almost 35% of the area preserved as National Park or forest and some of the best beaches this is the ideal location for those who love the outdoors, and are concerned about the environment and the natural world and as a bonus there are plenty of lovely settings for wedding photography to create an album full of special memories.

A particularly famous feature in the area is the Majestic Cinema in the Noosa hinterland town of Pomona. The cinema is almost 100 years old and has an original Compton house organ, which comes into use every Thursday when the cinema shows a traditional silent movie.

There is entertainment every night in Noosa with performances by amateur theatre groups, well-known musicians and local acts at venues around town and beyond.

Finding a wedding photographer in Noosa who has local knowledge and can show you some of the less well-known locations is a good way to go. A consultation in advance so the photographer has an idea of what you might like and can give an accurate idea of what it might cost is also a good idea.

If the wedding is planned for September you can catch the annual Jazz festival, which attracts musicians from all over the world to perform traditional jazz,, Dixie, modern, swing, funk and rhythm and blues. Events take place in various cafes, bars and restaurants around the area. The event could provide a great backdrop for unusual wedding photography.

Siena is another Tuscan city that may be considered as a wedding venue. Its cathedral (Duomo), was begun in the 12th century, and is one of the finest examples of Italian Romanesque-Gothic architecture. Its main façade was completed in 1380.

If you time your wedding in early July or August you can take in the famous horse race held on July 2 and August 16 in the city during your honeymoon. It is known as the Palio da Siena and has been a twice-yearly event since medieval times.
