Why Anna Bay is the Hidden Gem for Breathtaking Wedding Photos.

If you’re thinking of getting married in the Port Stephens region, you really must consider having your bridal portraits taken amongst the beautiful and breathtaking sand dunes that Anna Bay offers.

When it comes to capturing truly unforgettable bridal portraits, there’s nothing quite like the dramatic beauty of the Anna Bay sand dunes. Located just north of Newcastle, this breathtaking natural landscape offers an incredible mix of wide open spaces, golden sand, and soft, natural light that creates the perfect canvas for elegant, ethereal wedding photos.

We’re excited to offer something a little different for our adventurous brides: exclusive bridal portrait sessions in the Anna Bay sand dunes, with 4WD access to the most stunning locations. Whether you’re planning a destination wedding, an elopement, or simply want to add something magical to your bridal album, this is the experience for you.

Why Choose the Sand Dunes?

Anna Bay’s dunes are part of the Stockton Sand Dunes, the largest coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. Their size and scale create a surreal, almost dreamlike backdrop—minimalist and majestic all at once. Imagine the contrast of your flowing gown against sweeping lines of golden sand, with the sea breeze catching your veil just right. These images don’t just look incredible—they feel timeless.

A Seamless, Comfortable Experience

We know that hiking through dunes in a wedding dress isn’t exactly easy—that’s where our private 4WD transport comes in. We’ll drive you (and your dress!) up the beach and across the dunes to scout out the most photogenic locations. You’ll stay comfortable and relaxed while we focus on finding that perfect dune.

Our drone also provides a different perspective from your wedding day.

This unique access allows us to reach spots that most visitors never see, ensuring your photos are not only beautiful but also completely personal to you. The dunes are a playground for movement, and texture.

Being amongst the dunes provides time for a calm, reflective moment. It provides an opportunity to take a quiet moment during the shoot to breathe and soak in the day.

This bridal shoot can be done before or after your big day—perfect for those wanting a relaxed environment without the pressure of the timeline. We also welcome couples who want to include the groom for an adventurous “day-after” session.

Let’s Head to the Dunes

Bridal portraits in the Anna Bay sand dunes are more than just a photo session—they’re an experience. If you’re dreaming of portraits that blend nature, romance, and a touch of wild beauty, we’d love to take you there.
