Central Coast Wedding Photographers
Here is something different on our Central Coast wedding photography blog. We shot these two beautiful humans at Eveleigh inner Sydney City. The scenery is slightly different then the greenery and ocean blues abundant in the Central Coast. Nevertheless it was awesome being amongst urban landscape, fitting for these two city folk. Here are just a few photos we captured for them…
They say the love of a family is life’s greatest blessing, couldn’t agree more! An afternoon well spent with the Alzona’s…

What to Expect when booking a portrait session with Coast
Coast photography is committed to delivering images that are contemporary, casual and candid. We create a fun and relaxed photo session as we capture your special moments shared with your family, with no forced poses or fake smiles. We believe the best way to take heartfelt and creative images is to combine our creative style and your personal character to create truly unique images, personalised and timeless photographs made to preserve your precious memories for years to come.
We understand that not everyone is comfortable in front of the camera, so before we start, we will spend some time ensuring that you are well relaxed before your portrait session. One way we help you to feel comfy is by giving you the choice as to where you would like your session to take place, whether it’s in your own home, a local garden or even a beach or park. We can also recommend some of our favourite locations to suit your occasion.
Your portrait session will take approximately one hour and your photographer will take around 40 to 80 images to ensure you have plenty to choose from.
To make it easy to book a session with us, we are available seven days a week and work within your schedule. We will then send you an information package that helps to answer any questions you may have before your session and to prepare you for your family portrait shoot.

We had the privilege to photograph the beautiful wedding of a very old friend of mine at the Tuscany Wine Estate Polkolbin, Hunter Valley. The hunter Valley was the perfect location for these two love birds providing the perfect backdrop for their wedding day, and although it was partly cloudy with a bit of rain throughout the Hunter Valley, that never deterred them to enjoy their wedding day at the Tuscany Wine Estate Polkolbin, Hunter Valley. Luckily for us their whole day was inside of the Tuscany Wine Estate Polkolbin, Hunter Valley and we had no issues travelling around, only focusing on what mattered; capturing their special wedding day. Here are a few photos we got for them at their wedding at the Tuscany Wine Estate Polkolbin, in the Hunter Valley.
Bells at Killcare is a beautiful hidden gem here in the Central Coast of New South Wales. We thought we’d share this beautiful wedding of Michelle and John shot over a year ago now, back when we first moved to the central coast. Stepping foot at Bells at Killcare and photographing this beautiful wedding sure did excite us about photographing breathtaking weddings throughout the central coast. Bells at Killcare did not disappoint. Located at the backdrop of Boudii National Park, this elegant chic boutique resort provided the perfect setting for Michelle and Johns beautiful wedding, a wedding that compliments stunning landscapes here on the central coast. We have a few weddings now lined up at Bells at Killcare next year as well as Somersby weddings and Hunter Valley weddings. We can’t wait to be a part of it all.
Michelle and John spent a lovely afternoon with family and friends, celebrating their wedding ceremony on the lawn at Bells at Killcare. Along with their entourage, we walked around the grounds of Bells at Killcare before celebrating the night away near the restaurant at Bells. Stunning wedding we wont forget and it is always a privilege meeting such beautiful kind loving people.

Although it’s getting real cold and often windy outside (which of course is not the ideal weather to take family portraits) I thought I’d point out that in real fact, it’s the best time to be thinking about taking family portraits here on the Central Coast. I’d like to point out a few things to why this may be so:
Overcast days
Contrary to the belief, a warm sunny day, particularly in midday is not the ideal light to take quality timeless portraits of you and your family. Not only will it be bright (forcing you to squint) it can get hella uncomfortable as you begin to heat up under the sun. An overcast day however will ‘soften’ the light that enters the atmosphere, and without getting to technical, the portrait result often equals to glowing soft skin and timeless photographs. Overcast days might suck if you were expecting sun filled warmth to compliment your images, but don’t be fooled, we have captured some amazing photographs all thanks to an overcast sky.
Its cold, no one is around.
As a wedding and portrait photographer in the central coast, we often get asked to take photos at the beach or at the local park. Although there is nothing wrong with this, in the summer time it can be a pain in the backside. Often families like timeless images of their families in what appears to be an isolated setting, there is nothing timeless about bikini clad beach goers in their photos. In the summertime yes it’s pretty hard to avoid, but in the wintertime it is a different story. Running around at the park and beach is not that problematic.
Dress to impress
Taking family portraits during the winter also means everyone can dress up. There is no doubt that we love winter because of warm cuddles and an opportunity to be bold and proclaim our fashion sense to friends and family. In the summertime, dressing up is just not an option, as generally you want to dress down. Nothing timeless about singlets, stubbies and slippers.
More time
As we are predominantly wedding photographers, we photograph most weddings during the warmer months (and the months leading to the warmer months anyway) During winter our wedding numbers dramatically drop. Organizing portraits during summer sometimes means working around our schedule. Where as in the colder months, you can be assured that we will work around yours. This allows flexibility and allows more time for us to enjoy taking timeless portraits for your family without having to be somewhere else.
So if you’ve ever wondered when the best time to take family photos is, the answer is anytime! Rain may play a role of when, but regardless the season, portraits can always be taken of you and your family. Here are just some we’ve taken during the colder months…
We first met the lovely Chantal when she was a bridesmaid to her best friend Suzie, a wedding we photographed over 3 years ago in tropical north Queensland where we use to live. How time flies, and now it was Chantal’s turn to tie the knot. Set among the beautiful foothills of the Hunter Valley, we spent a perfect day with Chantal and Daniel, celebrating their wedding day at Petersons House. Among their family and friends, they exchanged their vows and proclaimed their love to each other for life (ahh!) The Hunter Valley did not disappoint and provided the perfect backdrop to their intimate wedding filled with laughter and tears of joy! Congratulations and cheers to such a wonderful couple!
The other month we photographed the beautiful wedding of Samantha and David, celebrating their ceremony at St Lukes Anglican Church in Woy Woy and reception held at The Springs Peats Ridge here on the central Coast. They couldn’t have asked for a more stunning day on their wedding day. Lots of laughter shared with family and friends. The Springs at Peats Ridge Central Coast was the perfect location for their wedding pictorial and reception. So many photographs for such a lovely couple!
Before we left Mefoto in Cairns, we did a fundraiser to raise funds for an assistance dog for our eldest child Rylan who lives with Autism. 2 years since starting and 18 months on the wait list, Rylan was finally placed with his Smart Pups Autism Assistance Dogs, Perry – a handsome young Golden Retriever. It was a while ago now but just wanting to again thank those who donated towards Perry when ordering your thank you cards back in 2014. You made this boy (yes that’s a boy lol) very happy. Shot taken at Rylans favorite spot #Macmastersbeach. *Coast Wedding Photography specialising in wedding and portrait photography throughout the Central Coast, The Hunter Valley, Newcastle and Sydney regions of NSW.
Pearl Beach – Our new fav spot. Wow! Things worked our way, I was 30 minutes late to the shoot, rocking up at Pretty beach. Luckily this beautiful couple waited and so did the beautiful light at Pearl.. stunning spot.. (but no waves – boo!) Here are a few shots from their engagement shoot. We can’t wait for the big day!
Norah Head is a special place for Chere and Tim. Apart from the stunning raw landscape among rocky shorelines and the iconic lighthouse, this was the spot where Tim got down on one knee and asked Chere to be his wife. It was only fitting that we photographed them at Norah Head where they could enjoy their time together while exploring the picturesque landscape.
