Panorama House - Bulli Tops

My Ratings (5 out of 10)


Panorama House - Bulli Tops -Receptions
This venue really frustrated me. Not in terms of photography but with regards to the location and not being able to find it. If you are not careful trying to get to this reception, you will fly right by it and end up in Woolongong. I missed the turn twice and ended up trying to call to see how to find it... There are little if no signage for guests and this has definately scored low because of it... " how do you photograph something if you can't find it"?

Gorgeous view from this reception centre. There is an outdoor walking area for guests to see the awesome view from the top of the hill. Great while the daylight is around for photos but alot more difficult at night. A few night shot opportunities here. Problems will arise from the full glass walls which can bounce right back into the photographs when bounce flashing...Nice reception.

Norman Lindsay Gallery and Cafe

Ceremony   5 STARS
Location     6 STARS
Reception   7 STARS


Norman Lindsay Gallery
A beautiful guests list of around 70 people. All great friends and family. As the stretch limo arrived the scotish piper filled the air with with what can only be described as one of the most unique sounds for wedding ceremonies. On her fathers arm ,Kellie walked through a vine covered column tunnel at the Norman Lindsay Gallery to where they were married.

Afterwards the guests blew so many bubbles it was hard to see the happy couple. The bridal shoot started with a group shot and then about an hour and a half of perfect light. This was only a 3 hour event for myself and was a good measure of time by this well planned bride. I finished the day with a quick drink with guests before leaving. The Norman Lindsay cafe looked after the guests well from that point on.

My ratings for the Location shoot and reception are as follows..

1 to 10 star rating

* Norman Lindsay Galley - ceremony
***** 5 star - A nice garden area and lawn but i felt it held no great view, nor did it have overly manicured areas. Very secluded though & Peaceful.

* Norman Lindsay Galley
******* 7 star -As far as gardens go, there are plenty of opportunities here. A great columned porch to work with and nice little hidden secrets.

* Norman Lindsay Cafe
****** 6 star -Can only accomdate about 60-70 guests and some will be outside the building. Well set in the bush and perfect for small events that require something a little different.
