Best Sydney Wedding Locations Part Three: Wendy’s Secret Garden
Rachelle and Ant held their ceremony at Milsons Point and then I took them to Wendy’s Secret Garden for their bridal portraits. This is my favourite staircase in all of Sydney. The trees frame the steps beautifully and draw the eye to the couple.
Wendys Secret Garden at Sydney’s famous Lavender Bay is a location that I love to visit again and again.
Wendy Whiteley created the garden, starting in 1992, while grieving for her partner, the painter Brett Whiteley.
Set into the slopes leading down from Clarke Park down to Lavender Bay, the garden is terraced, with paths that lead you down into the lower levels. A wide variety of flowers and trees create a lush feel as sunlight filters down through the canopy.
The lower garden has ornamental tables and chairs which lead to a beautiful stone staircase and the magnificent fig tree that towers overhead.
Couples love how we can capture a variety of looks and moods as we progress through our bridal portrait session.
It’s peaceful and secluded here, so couples can relax and be themselves in an enchanting atmosphere.

Wendys Secret Garden is the perfect setting for an intimate wedding ceremony.
Che and Kim had their ceremony under the huge fig tree at the top of the garden, next to Wendy Whiteley’s house.
