Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park Wedding
Experience a Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park Wedding with FirstLook Stills—from sunlit bridal preparations and an elegant Governor Bourke Ballroom ceremony to unforgettable post‑wedding portraits in Hyde Park’s lush greenery.
A Seamless All‑In‑One Venue
Choosing the Sheraton Grand Sydney Hyde Park means every moment unfolds without travel delays:
Preparation Suites: Floor‑to‑ceiling windows flood luxe rooms with natural light—ideal for capturing gown details, invitation suites, and precious first‑look reactions.
Governor Bourke Ballroom: Classic décor, crystal chandeliers, and panoramic Hyde Park views set a timeless stage for vows, ring exchanges, and first dances.
Grand Foyer & Staircase: Marble floors, sweeping staircases, and ornate railings provide refined backdrops for formal family and wedding‑party portraits.
By keeping hair and makeup, ceremony, and reception under one roof, I ensure a smooth, relaxed timeline—letting you focus entirely on each other.
Romantic Hyde Park Post‑Wedding Session
Just steps from the hotel doors, Hyde Park transforms your post‑wedding gallery:
Fig‑Tree Avenues: Century‑old figs create dappled‑light corridors perfect for candid walks and quiet embraces.
Archibald Fountain: The iconic sculpture and reflecting pool add artistic flair to fine‑art portraits.
Hidden Pathways: Winding garden paths reveal intimate alcoves for close‑up storytelling.
I schedule 45–60 minutes here, capturing both broad scenic vistas and intimate moments as daylight softens into evening glow.
