Fingal Lighthouse

Enjoy a short walk through lush protected rainforest, and you’ll find yourself amongst the unique basalt rock surrounds of Fingal Lighthouse. Perched above turquoise waters (keep an eye out for dolphins and whales!), this rugged coastal outlook is the perfect secluded setting for sunset portraits. And for a little bit of added magic? This sacred space is also thought to be protected by ancestral spirits.

Cabarita Headland

Just a stone’s throw away from our Casuarina and Kingscliff wedding venues, Cabarita Headland is arguably one of the best lookouts on the Tweed Coast. Framed by an abundance of pandanus trees (and recently voted Australia’s best beach), this impressive grassy headland offers panoramic ocean views from every angle. Take a wander around the headland during golden hour – depending on the season, you can enjoy pastel pink skies or a burnt orange sunset for the ultimate photo backdrop.

Paperbark Trees

Our iconic Paperbark Trees in Casuarina make for a seriously dreamy photo location, located just down the road from Osteria. When the afternoon light filters through these tall, textural trees, our photographers can capture some serious magic!

Kings Forest

The wild, grassy plains located at Kings Forest are another favourite for couples getting hitched at our coastal wedding venues. This unique spot offers a rugged natural landscape for your wedding photos, with plenty of open space available – perfect for those bridal party snaps or smoke bomb portraits!

Fins Plantation House Cactus Garden

The quirky cactus garden at Fins Plantation House has quickly become one of our favourite wedding photo destinations. In walking distance from the venue, this hidden gem is ideal for a fun and creative portrait session here on the Tweed Coast. Because cacti can survive in harsh conditions, they’ve also become a symbol of unconditional love – making your wedding photos just that little bit extra special.

Snapper Beach

Kick your shoes off and stroll down one of the most picturesque beaches just across the border for wedding photos that won’t disappoint. This world-famous beach isn’t just a surfer’s paradise, but also an incredible location for your post-ceremony portraits. We’re talking long, uninterrupted stretches of pristine white sand, warm pastel skies and glittering ocean views – what could be more romantic?
