Jessica and Simon’s wedding film: the ceremony and the reception, all at Taronga Zoo Sydney.
▶The film follows the whole day at Taronga Zoo Sydney in the order it happened: the ceremony and the reception.
Ceremony and Reception: Taronga Zoo Sydney, Bradleys Head Rd, Mosman NSW 2088.
Taronga Zoo covers 28 hectares of hillside on Bradleys Head Road at Mosman, on the north shore of Sydney Harbour, twelve minutes by ferry from Circular Quay. It opened here on 7 October 1916; the name means beautiful view. Weddings use the Taronga Centre: the N’galawa Terrace with its wraparound balcony, the Dalang Ballroom for 220 seated, and the Gili rooftop for 60, all looking towards the Opera House and Harbour Bridge. Outdoor ceremonies run on the Harbour View Lawns and the Bird Amphitheatre.
We have photographed one wedding at Taronga Zoo and filmed another. The venue is unusual in Sydney for putting both harbour icons behind the ceremony from a height, and a portrait walk through the exhibits runs straight off the lawns. The Wildlife Retreat on site has 62 rooms for guests who want to stay the night.
On this day the whole film stayed on the property: the ceremony and the reception at Taronga Zoo Sydney.
