South Wharf Promenade runs along the south bank of the Yarra between the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre and the Polly Woodside, west of the Southbank restaurants. The red brick cargo sheds along it were built between 1885 and 1929 and worked as dock sheds until container shipping made them redundant; they are heritage-listed and now hold bars and restaurants, with DFO South Wharf behind and the Seafarers Bridge crossing to Docklands. The 19th-century tall ship sits in its dry dock at the eastern end.
Veri uses the promenade as a pre-wedding and engagement portrait location, usually as one stop in a loop with Docklands’ Webb Bridge, Carlton Gardens and the Old Treasury Building. Sun and Jiang, Echo and Ethan, and Calyn and Sham all had sessions here: the sheds give warm brick and old timber, and the river gives the city skyline in one frame.
