AnnaBella Wedding Chapel Wedding Film

AnnaBella is a purpose-built chapel at Ilkley, on about 35 acres of bush, with antique pews and an antique Chinese altar.

The ceremony. Vows are made in the chapel with light streaming in from the windows.

Portraits. In my film here, the couple sits in the grass with their foreheads together as the sun sets behind the trees. The bush and paddock around the chapel give plenty of room for portraits.

Couples choose AnnaBella for the chapel itself: a real, romantic ceremony space, close to the coast, without the formality of a church. It is a lovely choice if your reception is at another venue and you want a beautiful, easy-to-reach place for the vows.

Couples and wedding writers describe it as one of the most perfect Sunshine Coast ceremony locations, and brides have said the chapel felt irresistible the moment they saw it.

One couple married here because the chapel is owned by the groom's family, which made it a fitting country setting for a relaxed, rustic wedding. They wanted a party rather than a traditional reception with speeches and a bridal dance.

With Monique & Stephen, I filmed moments like the couple sitting in the grass, foreheads together, as the sun sets behind the trees. Read their story.

The chapel's antique pews and altar and the light streaming in make for a beautiful, intimate ceremony, and there is a pond in the grounds that makes a romantic portrait spot. The long tree-lined drive is a lovely shot for the arrival. Tell me early which time of day your ceremony is, because the window light changes quickly.

A chapel is a controlled, intimate space, so I will plan my positions to stay out of the way and make sure your vows are recorded clearly. Because the reception is usually elsewhere, we will plan the travel and the timing between the chapel and the reception.
