As it is built in 1857 (with the addition of the grand ballroom in 1886) it will be one of the oldest and most traditional wedding venues in Melbourne. It’s definitely one of the most luxurious and lavish spaces around. The restoration preserved the iconic hand-painted ceilings and walls giving it a rustic and timeless feel. The ballroom is from the classic Victorian era with Corinthian wall pilasters. What a venue to have your wedding function.

Wedding Photography at the George Ballroom in Melbourne

The venue reopened in 2015 and we look forward to shooting weddings there … it’s just one of the classiest venues you will be able to find in Melbourne. Souri from our photo blog fabulous-femme.com was invited to their opening event and we took some photos of the venue – it’s easy to imagine a classy and luxury Melbourne wedding in this space.

The 200 sqm venue caters for 150 guests for a sit-down dinner and up to 200 guests for a stylish wedding cocktail party or a corporate event or gala dinner. Catering is exclusively done by “Damm Fine Food” which create wonderful dishes for your function. Celebrate in style.

Luxury Wedding Photography – George Ballroom

The luxury venue is ideally located 5km away from the Melbourne CBD and you could even combine it with some stylish wedding photos or a wedding ceremony at the Melbourne Beaches or the Botanical gardens in Melbourne as they are both close. The central location of the venue gives you lots of options for your personal style and perfect wedding.

We are sure the Geoge Ballroom will be hosting stylish celebrity weddings and celebrations.

We would love to photograph a wedding at the Geoge Ballroom in St Kilda, Melbourne. It’s definitely on our “wish list”. The opening event gave us a little preview of the style and luxury this venue will see again after the long renovation period. George Ballroom Wedding Photography will be something special … such as the events that will be hosted there.

Great to have this Melbourne venue back.

Luxury Weddings – Melbourne CBD Photographer – unique and creative

The luxury limousine picked the bride and bridal team-up. The trip to the Melbourne CBD was nearly too fast. Its not often that you arrive even too early at a wedding – we even had some time to stop by the Carlton Exhibition Building and take a few shots.

State Library Melbourne CBD – Ceremony and Wedding Photoshoot

The ceremony happened in the luxurious surrounds of the Queen’s Hall in the State Library of Victoria on Swanston Street in the Melbourne CBD. It’s one of the most unique wedding venues in Melbourne. The State Library was also used for our photoshoot. For a Melbourne CBD Photographer, it’s one of the wedding locations you just have to go to. It’s amazing to photograph here.

The State Library of Victoria has different spaces to use and we ventured to the impressive LaTrobe Reading Room, the town gallery and the red rotunda. You can hire all these spaces not only for a wedding ceremony but also the wedding function or even corporate events. It’s one of Melbourne’s most sought after event spaces. (By the way: The LaTrobe Reading room can cater for up to 500 people … ideal for a large scale event or wedding. There are not many stylish wedding and event venues in Melbourne of that size.)

A Turkish wedding in Melbourne

It was lots of fun to photograph within the library. We had to be pretty quiet (as there were lots of people studying and reading books). This just added to the atmosphere.  The couple enjoyed the time together with their bridal team. The quick tour through the state library revealed also some interesting stairways and places usually not to be seen for the public. A true adventure and we highly recommend the venue.

After our photoshoot, we left the State Library – took a quick picture outside. The amazing wedding photograph was a bit more work than it looks like it was really busy. The bridal team held back the people leaving the library for just a few seconds to keep the space empty and we took our shot. Lucky.

Brighton – A luxury wedding venue in Melbourne

The wedding function was a bit away in the suburb of Brighton. The Brighton International is a renown wedding venue.  The ballroom can hold up to 450 seated guests – ideal for big Turkish wedding. The stars are sparkling over the dancefloor and the guests have plenty of space to mingle in the foyer and courtyard – a wonderful luxurious wedding venue close to the Melbourne CBD or the Brighton beach. They also have a smaller room – the Georgian Room which we photographed at a different wedding a few weeks later.

The International of Brighton was a great space and made it easy for any wedding photographer. A Turkish band played – the drums were on the dance floor and old and young had lots of fun … a wonderful wedding day to remember.
