Without a doubt, one of Brisbane’s most popular locations for wedding photos.

As any Brisbane wedding photographer knows, the Powerhouse is one of the most well-photographed locations for wedding photography.

In fact, it’s not uncommon to arrive and have to wait in turn for photos against the famous industrial building and its eclectic brick wall.

But, it’s also an amazing venue for your wedding ceremony and reception. The interior is just a funky as the exterior and the urban grunge is amazing for photos.
