Sheri McMahon Photography I’m an Australian travel fine art film wedding photographer with a bubbly, approachable, and professional vibe. Destination Weddings and elopements? YES PLEASE!
(1)

I capture timeless, joyful weddings worldwide—specialising in luxury beach resorts and epic destinations. I am a hybrid fine art film wedding photographer with a passion to create for you the most beautiful, timeless heirloom portraits. My approach is soft and subtle, the quiet and in-between moments are always a favourite of mine. With a candid photo-journalistic approach, we want your day to unfold naturally. I'm obsessed with the smaller details of your wedding day. While I am located in Port Stephens NSW Australia, you can find me working anywhere from Sydney, Newcastle, The Hunter Valley, through to Bowral in the Southern Highlands and even Australia's iconic beach destination Byron Bay. I was bitten by the travel bug in my early twenties and I embrace any opportunity to travel outside these areas. I adore the thrill of immersing myself in new cultures. I would love to join you in an exotic place and capture your magical day. I believe travel changes your perspective of the world and this experience is something I am grateful to be able to pass on to my two beautiful children. I am available worldwide for your destination weddings or elopement.

Limited spots for 2027 - now booking 2028 wedding season

European garden romance meets chic, modern city sophistication. 🤍

One of my favourite things about Sydney weddings is how beautifully you can blend two completely different styles into one celebration.

Think lush gardens, romantic portraits and timeless elegance, followed by a change of scenery to the Museum of Contemporary Art for a sophisticated city reception.

Beautiful architecture, contemporary styling and that incredible Sydney Harbour backdrop.

A little European romance, a little modern city glamour. Honestly, I love this combination for Sydney weddings!

For the couples who want a little bit of everything. 🥂

LERA & ROB | GARDEN × CITY CHIC

New York sophistication meets Sydney garden romance.

For New York–based couple Lera and Rob, an American bride and Australian groom, Sydney brought their two worlds together. Their celebration moved from a morning by the ocean to garden vows overlooking the Opera House, followed by an elegant dining experience at the Museum of Contemporary Art.

The day began with coastal light, ocean views and ch*****ne as Lera prepared overlooking the beach. Her floral appliqué gown introduced a romantic botanical thread that continued throughout the celebration.

In the gardens, bridesmaids wore individual floral dresses in soft greens and ivory. Abundant white and blush flowers framed the ceremony, with the Opera House rising beyond the lawn. Classic black tuxe brought a beautiful sense of occasion, while ch*****ne coupes, white parasols and guests in colourful dresses gave the afternoon an effortless garden-party atmosphere.

From there, the story moved into the city. Portraits beneath the Opera House sails paired the softness of Lera’s gown with Sydney’s striking architecture.

At the MCA, garden romance became an intimate, sophisticated dinner overlooking the harbour. Flowers spilled gently across white tables, gold cutlery added warmth, and delicate table lamps softened the contemporary setting.

Coastal ease, European garden romance and a little New York polish, brought together in a wedding unmistakably Sydney.

For the bride who loves European garden romance but also wants a little Sydney city chic. 🌿🥂

Think elegant garden ceremonies, beautifully dressed guests, cocktails overlooking the Opera House and that iconic Sydney Harbour backdrop.

A little garden romance. A little city sophistication. The best of both worlds.

Sydney brides, is this your wedding vibe? COMMENT 🤍

The secret to a stress-free wedding day? It starts LONG before the wedding. 🤍

Today I’m in Sydney preparing for tomorrow’s beautiful garden wedding, meeting with the couple and their wedding planner to fine-tune all those little details.

Because your wedding photographer does so much more than just show up with a camera!

We’re talking timelines, finding the best natural light, checking locations, navigating Sydney’s unpredictable weather and making sure there’s plenty of time for you to actually ENJOY your day.

The goal? Beautiful photographs without turning your wedding into a photoshoot.

I want you sipping ch*****ne, laughing with your favourite people and soaking up every moment, knowing we’ve already thought through the details.

Because the best wedding days aren’t just beautifully captured. They’re fully experienced. 🥂

Save this little reminder if you’re planning your 2027 wedding!

There's something about a wedding where everything feels considered, but nothing feels overdone. 🤍

The beautiful architecture, a thoughtfully set table, soft light falling across a room, or a pair of shoes that deserve a photograph of their own.

It's often these quieter details that catch my eye.

I've always loved that effortless European feeling. Understated elegance, a little romance, beautiful textures and spaces that invite people to slow down and enjoy themselves.

Not everything needs to match perfectly or be styled within an inch of its life.

For me, it's about the choices that feel personal. The little things you've chosen simply because you love them.

And when they all come together, they create something more than just a beautiful wedding.

They create an atmosphere. A feeling. Something that's uniquely yours.

And that's what I'm always looking for through my lens.

If you're planning a wedding and love this kind of understated, European-inspired elegance, save this for a little inspiration. 🤍

“We want natural photos… but we’re also a little awkward in front of the camera.”

I hear this all the time.

And the good news is, natural wedding photography doesn’t mean I leave you wondering what on earth you’re supposed to do.

I’ll find the beautiful light, choose the right location and give you just enough direction to feel comfortable.

Then I let you be together.

Your dress moving as you walk through the gardens.
Friends laughing during cocktail hour.
The little interactions that happen when you’re not thinking about the camera.

Because you don’t need to know how to pose.

That’s my job. Your job is to enjoy your wedding. 🤍
