Hi Amber, there are so many great spots around Sydney CBD!

It really depends on what look you're after - there's Martin Place for the old buildings, Darling Harbour and Circular Quay for the waterfront, Botanic Gardens and the Domain for nature photos, The Rocks for historic buildings, shop fronts, little laneways and other unique places like that. It's really whatever suits the two of you and your favourite scenes!

If you're short on time and don't want to be out taking photos too long, I'm sure that wherever you are your photographer could find some great photo locations nearby! Or if you have the time, you could jump in a taxi or on a train - even making that part of the photo shoot would be fun and would provide another cool location with all the historic city stations!

Also, it's worth thinking about the time of day - if you can organise the photos close to sunset they will look much nicer with great light and a nice sky!

Hope this helps! If there's any other info I can help you with just let me know!

If you have a skilled and creative photographer, time of day is probably more important than the location. Light (Photo) should be your photographers first consideration. The quality and direction of the light. Which lighting style will flatter the subject etc. We aim to isolate you as the subject as you are just that, the (Important) subject. Then we consider the palette of our images and try to make it consistent throughout the day. This was we become story tellers and picture takers. You can see the result of this in our images. Hope that helps Amber ;)

The best places are your favourite places, areas that suit your memories and personalities. The Rocks have lovely old streets, textured walls and colourful doors, Door 64 and Harrington Street are popular, Observatory Hill and the Royal Botanic Gardens will give you landmark backdrops. A short hop on a ferry to the north shore also works well. Barangaroo has a nice new park. The nearby streets of Surry Hills and Oxford street will work for a more urban feel and a short drive away the Paddington Reservoir Gardens.

Anywhere!

When a Bride and Groom are freshly married and at that moment their love for each other is at it's peak amazing images are so easy to capture. Don't get me wrong... beautiful locations are a big help in setting the scene for the photos however a couples inner sparkle is what really makes my job so fun.

There are the very obvious landmarks of Sydney Opera House steps, under the Harbour Bridge at Milsons Point (don't forget Luna Park for some fun photos!) and Hyde Park with their beautiful waterfall and tree archway.

Some of the more uncommon spots include Angel Place – a little laneway just off Pitt Street with birdcages hanging from above. You won't find another spot like it! For something a little different there are some great buildings down at King St Wharf. Using their unique architecture to give some really interesting backgrounds with bright colours and shapes.

If you have some time to spare, catch a ferry from King St Wharf and head to Cockatoo Island. Not only will you get some incredible photos while on the ferry sailing through Sydney Harbour but Cockatoo Island is a photographers dream! So much character and unique images around every corner.

For something really different, head to Newtown or St Peters and find some of their iconic graffiti laneways.

I absolutely love Bradley's Head Amphitheatre for its awesome views of the entire city, Centennial Park, The Rocks, Observatory Hill. There are also many hidden spots around the CBD which are my best kept secrets!
