Tanilba House
Wedding

Tanilba House is one of those places that feels special the moment you arrive. Built in 1831, it is the oldest residence in Port Stephens and is surrounded by three acres of beautiful, whimsical gardens - all are perfect backdrop for your wedding photographs!

Tanilba House is particularly suited to couples looking for something authentic, romantic and a little different.

Rather than a large, conventional wedding venue, it offers a combination of historic interiors, gardens, natural surroundings and waterfront scenery. It is ideal for couples who appreciate character, history and beautiful spaces that feel intimate and meaningful.

One of the things we love about photographing weddings at Tanilba House is the beautiful natural setting that surrounds it. Tanilba Bay sits on the Tilligerry Peninsula, surrounded by water, beaches, bushland and quiet walking tracks, so there is a lovely sense of being tucked away from everything.

From a photography perspective, there is so much to work with. The natural landscape gives us plenty of opportunities for relaxed, beautiful photographs without having to travel far from the venue. We can make use of the gardens and historic features at Tanilba House, then incorporate the surrounding greenery, waterfront and soft coastal light to create plenty of variety in your wedding gallery.
