Sergeants Mess Wedding Chowder Bay
Jack & Charlotte held a morning ceremony and lunchtime reception at one of Sydney’s most beautiful wedding venues, Sergeants Mess in Chowder Bay.
We started the day with Charlotte getting ready at the family home in Newtown. Charlotte’s big sisters were her bridesmaids. Charlotte looked amazing in a vintage sequinned wedding dress while her sisters wore high collar dresses in a muted mint green.
I headed to Sergeants Mess thirty minutes before the girls left the house so I could catch up with Jack and then be ready for Charlotte’s arrival in a magnificent vintage white limousine.
I always say when we come to this shot, this is the ‘Princess Shot’. It’s totally contrived and everyone in frame feels super awkward but it’s always a great shot!

Jack & Charlotte planned to have their ceremony in the lovely amphitheatre at Sergeants Mess with the views of Sydney Harbour in the background. The couple had to make a brave call on the weather.
There was a very light sprinkling of rain starting to fall as Charlotte arrived at the venue. Their guests were pretty much already all seated for the ceremony. So move inside (a big fuss) or go for it? The couple went for it and thankfully the rain stopped right on schedule (though it did make a quick appearance just for Charlotte’s vows).
Their ceremony was romantic and heartfelt. With two musicians playing her in from the balcony, Charlotte and her bridesmaids proceeded in and Charlotte married Jack!
After their ceremony I took the couple on a lightening-fast greatest hits tour of Chowder Bay. We only had twenty minutes as the reception needed them as soon as possible so everything could get started. The table settings were beautiful and Jack and Charlotte had a little pot of honey as a thank-you gift for each of their guests.
