To make it even easier for our bride and groom, we have sorted them into different styles so you can choose these Geelong wedding photo locations based on your wedding style.
Classic and vintage wedding photography locations in Geelong
Geelong Train Station
Within 15 minutes’ drive from the Geelong CBD, the Geelong Train Station represents one of the few heritage-listed landmarks to do classic wedding photography.
Featuring a 19th-century train shed, couples can do wedding photography on the platform and be benefited from the symmetrical backdrop.
The historical stairs are also one of the most go locations within this Geelong landmark. The grand stairs together with the interior of the station can provide an interesting background for wedding photography.

Saint Mary of the Angels Basilica
Located on Yarra St, the Saint Mary of the Angels Basilica represents one of the most historical landmarks in Geelong for classic and vintage style wedding photography.
If you are getting married at this church, it is worth doing classic wedding photography at this location after the ceremony.
The interior of the church features beautiful dome, grand pillar stones, reflecting windows which are great for bride and groom’s wedding portrait photos.
With the stone wall and magnificent front door. The exterior of the St Mary church represents the Classic Romanesque architecture. The front area of this Geelong church is best for wedding group photos and car shots.

Natural and candid wedding photography locations in Geelong
Geelong Waterfront
The Geelong Waterfront is without doubt the most sought-after landmarks for couples to do wedding photography.
Featuring bollards, the jetty as well as amazing coastal view, the Geelong Water front provides a natural and stunning backdrop for wedding photography. Not only that, within few minutes’ walk, you will also find the Ferris Wheel which can also be used as an interesting background for wedding photos.
One thing to mention is due to the popularity of this landmark, it is quite often to find this photo location packed with tourists and bridal parties especially during the weekend. From bride who wants to do wedding photography at the Waterfront, some waiting time may be expected.
Address: 95 Eastern Beach Rd, Geelong VIC 3220
Eastern Beach
Five minutes away from the Geelong Waterfront, the Eastern Beach is the wedding photo location that I would always suggest for wedding photography. The Eastern Beach not only offers sandy beach, coastal views, its also got the lawns and rolling hills.
The rolling hill of the Eastern Beach is part of the reasons why I rate here as one of best Geelong landmarks to do candid wedding photography. The manicured lawns allow couple to do candid wedding photography by having some candid walking.
If you love putting your feet on the sand, then there is no better place in Geelong to do some beach wedding photography. The white, sandy beach as well as the coastal view can provide an excellent backdrop for candid wedding photos.
Address: Eastern Beach Rd, Geelong VIC 3220
The Friends of Geelong Botanic Gardens
Located in East Geelong, the Geelong Botanic Gardens represents one of the best garden locations for wedding photography.
Set on 20 acres of lands, you will find manicured gardens, succulents as well as colourful trees. For candid styled wedding photos, simply do a relaxing walk or naturally engage with your loved one, and those colourful plants within the park can provide a stunning background for wedding photos.
Unlike most of the botanic parks, you don’t need a permit in order to do wedding photography at the Geelong Botanic Gardens, which is definitely a plus for this landmark location in Geelong.
Address: Garden St, East Geelong VIC 3219
Griffiths Gully Jetty
Located near Western Beach, the Griffiths Gully is the wedding photo location that is less known by wedding photographers.
Featuring a jetty as well as the endless ocean view, this stunning landmark in Geelong pretty much guarantees the creation of stunning wedding photography.
As a wedding photographer, I would suggest to add the Griffiths Gully Jetty as the second wedding photo location on your day. As the sun goes down, you will be able to capture some of the most stunning sunset wedding photos there.
Address: near Western Beach, Bob Mcgovan Path VIC 3220
Modern and elegant wedding photography locations in Geelong
The Pier Geelong
The Pier Geelong is arguably one of the most sought-after wedding venues in Geelong, part of the reason is the photography opportunities available inside.
When you are getting married at the Pier, rest assured that your wedding photography will be almost guaranteed to look amazing. The coastal view, the deck as well as the floor-to-ceiling window all provide a stunning backdrop for wedding photos taken inside the venue.
But to me, what makes the Pier truly a legendary photo location in Geelong is the secret Skydeck hidden on top of the venue. By using a secret ladder, you will be able to climb up to the rooftop and experience the entire panoramic view of the Corio Bay.
As a wedding photographer, I love doing sunset wedding photography on the rooftop with my couple.
Address: Cunningham Pier, 10 Western Foreshore Rd, Geelong VIC 3220
Geelong Carousel
Located near the Eastern Beach, the Geelong Carousel is the perfect photo location for modern and elegant wedding photography at this world class foreshore.
The modern sail like steel and glass pavilion provides a modern and minimalistic background for wedding photos. And the architectures glistens under the sun which can furthermore add unique flares into your wedding photos.

Recommended wedding videographers in Geelong
The wedding videographer can be seemed as a twin brother of wedding photographer. They can share similar appearance, but also possess different soul.
Here are 2 wedding videographers I work with several times each year that I strongly recommend to couples who want wedding videography. These two talented Geelong wedding videographers share similar philosophy like myself-the natural and candid wedding videography.
Perhaps, you might say I am subjective. Indeed, I will not refer you the most expensive or most famous wedding videographers in the world. Rather, I would recommend someone I had known and worked with to my bride and groom.
My recommended Geelong wedding videographer list is more practical than other wedding directory website, such as Easy Weddings or ivory tribe’s: those editors advertise wedding videographers they have not even met before.

F.A.Q – Geelong Wedding Photography
Why wedding photographers in Geelong are so expensive?
Professional Geelong wedding photographers invest lots of time and effort in developing their skills.
When you hire your Geelong wedding photographer, you are not just paying for him to capture your wedding photography, but also his professionalism as well as guidance on your big day.
After your wedding day, he will also work closely on retouching your wedding photography.
Do I need 2 photographers for my Geelong weddings?
In short words, it depends. One wedding photographer is usually enough for most intimate and small weddings in Geelong.
However, if you are planning a big wedding or you simply want to include more angles in your wedding photography, having a second Geelong wedding photographer is a great idea.
A second wedding photographer also allow the bride and groom to get prepared at the same time. This is especially useful when the bride’s getting ready place is far away from the grooms.
Is 6 hours of photography enough for my wedding in Geelong?
A 6 hours wedding photography coverage is usually enough for most small and intimate Geelong weddings. The Geelong wedding photographer can start from the getting ready in the morning and finish after your first dance.
However, if you are planning a medium to large size wedding with over 50 guests, your Geelong wedding photographer will have more guests and things to capture, you should consider upgrading your Geelong wedding photography package to 8-10 hours.
Also, if you are planning multiple wedding photo locations in Geelong with your wedding photographer, it is also advisable to increase the coverage time above 6 hours. Generally, longer coverage time will also make your wedding day more relaxing as you don’t have to rush your schedule in order to make sure every photo is taken.
