Bendooley Estate
A mere two-hour drive from Sydney, Bendooley Estate stretches over a staggering two hundred gorgeous green acres. In terms of Southern Highlands wedding destinations, Bendooley sits at the very tip top. Unfortunately, this popularity comes with significant waiting lists, so I reckon you should book a year or so in advance. Earlier the better, really! If you’re planning a quick wedding, unfortunately you’ll have to cross this one off the list. I love this venue because the shots I take in it always look so authentic. The beauty, scenery and endless grounds all result in stunning wedding photos every time. There are loads of ceremony location options too, from a vineyard to a lake pavilion. After the ceremony, there’s a spacious book barn for you and your guests to dance the night away in, complete with cathedral vintage ceilings. There are so many reasons why Bendooley Estate is my favourite wedding venue in the Southern Highlands; I always aim to capture its beauty through my photography.
