Weddings At Old Petrie Town
Old Petrie Town weddings are pretty awesome. Why? For starters, it’s a really cool location full of old historic building, retro artifacts and a little touch of yesteryear. And if you are having your wedding there, you’ll have endless photography opportunities.
Alison and Trent chose historic Old Petrie Town for their ceremony and reception. I LOVE this location. If you don’t know where it’s located, it’s just 27km north of the Brisbane CBD in Kurwongbah. It’s actually just a short 10 minute drive from my home so I’ve visited this place so many times. And I know ALL the best spots to take you for your wedding photos 😉
It’s also full of old timber sheds and rustic buildings which make a fantastic backdrop for your photos and the gorgeous big Moreton Bay fig trees provide some greenery and shade. Alison and Trent had both their wedding and their reception at Old Petrie Town which meant we had plenty of time to relax and stroll around the grounds. The whole bridal party enjoyed a few drinks, lots of laughs we managed to get some gorgeous photos in the process.

An Old Petrie Town Wedding
One of my favourite types of weddings is an Old Petrie Town wedding. It is quite literally, just a short 5 minute drive from my studio and over the years, I’ve photographed many Old Petrie Town weddings. So when Alison and Trent booked me for their wedding at Old Petrie Town I was so excited. Alison arrived in style in a beautiful red Mustang that caused quit a stir among the guests. And when exchanged their vows under the giant fig trees there were quite a few happy tears shed.
Weddings under the Fig Trees at Old Petrie Town
The fig trees is one the most popular settings for a ceremony as it’s cool, it’s shady and the trees make a stunning backdrop for the wedding photos. After the “I do’s” and family photos were done, we enjoyed a fun afternoon strolling the grounds of Old Petrie Town. If you’ve never visited Old Petrie Town before, it’s quite famous for its cool old buildings, old railway station and historical relics.
Old Petrie Town Location
Old Petrie Town is situated 26km north of Brisbane and nestled among 48 acres of beautiful gardens and bushland. There are so many gorgeous locations throughout the grounds, it is simply perfect for weddings. And it’s a photographers’ dream location. One of my favourite spots for photography is the old fire station.

And of course, there are so many beautiful native Australian trees throughout the grounds. Alison and Trent had a Spring wedding so were lucky to have some gorgeous yellow wattles to add a pop of colour to their wedding photos.
