Seacliff House Wedding Photographer
Documentary and film wedding photography at Seacliff House, Gerringong. Where authenticity and sophistication meet to capture moments that matter.
I know how a Seacliff House day moves. It starts high on the clifftop lawn, with the green hills rolling down to the Pacific behind you, then draws back into the barn as the light softens. The ocean sets the tone all afternoon, and the architecture gives you clean lines to work with wherever you stand. If you are getting married here, you want a photographer who already reads the place. That is where I come in.

The venue
Weddings at Seacliff House
Seacliff House sits above Gerringong with one of the finest outlooks on the South Coast, green rolling hills falling away to the Pacific. It has become one of the region's landmark venues for a reason. The bones are modern and coastal, clean lines and considered spaces, and the setting does a lot of the work before anyone lifts a camera.
Ceremonies happen out on the clifftop lawn, the ocean stretched out behind you and the hills framing everything. From there the day moves into the reception barn, a light-filled, crisp, minimalist space that stays bright through the afternoon and holds its calm as the light changes outside. The contrast between the open clifftop and the pared-back interior gives a gallery real range.
For a photographer, the opportunities here are endless. The ocean view. The architecture and its clean edges. The textures of the building against the softness of the hills. Knowing which of these to use, and when the light is right for each, is the difference between chasing the day and moving with it.
Local to the South Coast
I live on the South Coast, near Berry, about 15 minutes from Seacliff House. I know the roads in, the way the light works across the seasons, and the venue itself. When the ceremony runs a little late and the sun is dropping over the water, I already know where we will be standing. That kind of local knowledge shows up quietly, right through your gallery.
Because Gerringong is so close to home, there is no travel fee for your wedding at Seacliff House. Travel within two hours of Berry is included. You get someone who knows this stretch of the coast, and who photographs its venues year round.

The process
How I work
How I work
Most couples tell me the same thing before their wedding: they want great photos, but they don't want their day to feel like a photoshoot. That's the only brief I work to. A wedding day should feel lived in, not staged. I stay close enough to catch everything and unobtrusive enough that you forget I'm there.
It starts with a free 15 to 20 minute call, so we can talk through your day and make sure we are a fit. To lock in your date, a $1,000 deposit holds it. About three months out I send a questionnaire to map the timeline. You will see a set of previews within 48 to 72 hours of the wedding, and your full gallery lands 6 to 8 weeks later.
I take a limited number of weddings each year, and popular Seacliff House dates tend to book 12 to 18 months ahead. If you have a date in mind, it is worth reaching out early.
Kind words
“We honestly couldn't have asked for a better wedding photographer than Matt. He was professional, calming, organised, and so easy to work with on the day. He made us feel completely comfortable in front of the camera and captured every special moment so naturally.”
TESS
“He was such a calming presence on our wedding day, and his relaxed vibe was exactly what I needed. It honestly felt like he was part of the bridal party.”
