We photographed Stuart & Ruth’s reception here in December, after their ceremony at the Shrine of Divine Mercy in Lower Chittering. Before they arrived we stopped on a dry grass hillside in the late sun, and that hour gave us the frames at the top of this page.

Inside, the building is all timber, stone and warm light. It has real character, which matters once the sun is gone and every picture depends on what is behind you.

Outside there is a big old gum at the door, and it made the backdrop for one of the best moments of the night: the dancers lined up in full colour under the venue sign before they came in.

Stringybark offers a choice of the restaurant, the beer garden or an open outdoor grassed area with its own facilities and car park, and marquees if you want to be undercover. Talk to them about which suits your numbers and the season.
