If you’re newly engaged and dreaming of a coastal wedding, there’s something truly special about celebrating your day in the stunning seaside town of Kiama and the surrounding Illawarra region. With breathtaking ocean views, rolling green hills and charming boutique venues, this area offers some of the most romantic wedding locations on the South Coast.


One of the best ways to explore these incredible spaces is through Kiama I Do, happening on 4 July 2026. This much-loved local wedding showcase brings together a curated selection of venues and vendors, giving couples the chance to experience the magic of each location in person.


A Venue Worth Falling in Love With


Among the standout venues featured this year is Crooked River Estate in nearby Gerringong. Already known for its sweeping vineyard views and relaxed coastal elegance, Crooked River Estate has recently completed exciting upgrades, including a beautifully designed, dedicated wedding space.


This new addition elevates the entire experience for couples, offering a seamless flow between ceremony and reception, all set against one of the South Coast’s most picturesque backdrops. It’s the kind of venue that feels both refined and effortlessly relaxed—perfect for couples wanting something truly memorable.


Come and Say Hello on the Day


I’m so excited to be part of this year’s showcase as an exhibitor at Crooked River Estate. If you’re attending Kiama I Do, I would love for you to stop by, have a chat, and see how I approach capturing weddings in a natural and timeless way.


It’s a wonderful opportunity to connect in person, ask questions, and start envisioning how your wedding photography could look and feel.


Why Choose a Local Kiama Wedding Venue?


Getting married in Kiama or the Illawarra means more than just a beautiful location. It’s about creating an experience—for you and your guests. Think ocean air, golden sunsets, and the ease of having everything close by.


Local venues offer:


  • Stunning natural scenery for your ceremony and photos
  • A relaxed, destination-style feel without needing to travel far
  • Access to experienced local vendors who know the area intimately
  • Capturing Your Day, Beautifully & Affordably


As a local wedding photographer, I’ve had the joy of capturing love stories across many locations. I know how to work with the ever-changing coastal light, the hidden photo locations, and the unique character each venue brings.


I’m passionate about making beautiful, natural wedding photography accessible, which is why I offer competitive, transparent pricing for local weddings—something many couples truly appreciate when planning their day.


Whether you’re celebrating at Crooked River Estate or another stunning venue featured in Kiama I Do, my approach is relaxed, genuine and focused on capturing the real moments as they unfold.
