About Nicholas

"One of the World's Best Wedding Photographers". I'm Nicholas Purcell from Nicholas Purcell Studio. I created this blog to help Melbourne brides planning their wedding. I've been a professional photographer for 15 years. I split my time between Australia and Paris and my work has appeared inHarper's Bazaar UK, the New York Times, Style Me Pretty and brides.com. In 2015 Style Me Pretty interviewed me and in 2016 Complete Wedding Magazine called me "One of the World's Best Wedding Photographers". 

The Best 100 Venues for your Wedding in Melbourne

Take note! This 100 Wedding Venues in Melbourne list has been updated in 2018 and is available here.

Nicholas Purcell Studio is pleased to bring you the 2017 list of the Top 100 Wedding Venues in Melbourne. Some are outside Melbourne but no more than an hour or so. Some would suit your reception better than your ceremony but it really depends on personal choice. 

The list is compiled based on entirely my personal preferences. 

There are a range of styles here, restaurants, function venues, penthouses, art galleries, gardens etc. There's something for everyone.

With a good photographer, you'll get great wedding photos at any of these venues.
