Launceston Golf Club Wedding Photos
Tasmania’s oldest 18-hole course, a clubhouse for the reception, and Franklin House ten minutes away.
Launceston Golf Club is a private members’ club on Opossum Road at Kings Meadows, about 5 km south of the Launceston city centre and around ten minutes from the airport. It holds the oldest 18-hole course in Tasmania, a par 72 of 5,808 metres, with a pro shop and practice facilities, and the clubhouse hosts weddings, business events and functions. Kings Meadows sits on the floor of a shallow valley, around 70 metres above sea level.
Veri photographed a reception here after a ceremony at Franklin House, the 1838 National Trust homestead nearby at Youngtown, and that gallery is below. The two make a sensible Launceston pairing: a heritage garden for the vows and the portraits, then a clubhouse with a big room for dinner and no long drive between them.
How to prepare for your wedding photos (without overthinking it)
Seven small things that make a real difference on the day — learned across hundreds of weddings. None of them involve practising poses.
In motion, unposed · FR 15A1. Be yourselves — that's where the magic is
You don't need to perform or worry about what you look like. The best photos come from real moments: a glance, a laugh, a shared breath. Let go a little — we'll guide when needed, and the best unfolds naturally.
2. Build buffer time into your timeline
A little breathing room between getting ready, the ceremony and couple portraits makes all the difference. It gives us space for spontaneous shots — and gives you time to soak it all in.
3. Choose locations that feel like you
A quiet lane, an open field, a textured wall — we love meaningful or interesting spots. Trust us to find great light, but if you've got a place you love, let's work it in.
4. Consider an unplugged ceremony
Phones can distract from the emotion (and your photos). Asking guests to be fully present makes for cleaner frames and a more heartfelt atmosphere.
5. Get ready in calm, light-filled spaces
Clutter-free rooms with natural light are a photographer's dream, and calm energy in the morning sets the tone for the day. Keep the space tidy — or assign a friend to do a quick sweep before we arrive.
6. Keep a drink and snacks nearby
Especially during portraits — hydration and a little sugar go a long way in keeping energy and moods high.
7. Trust the process
We've worked at hundreds of weddings and we're here to make you look and feel amazing. Trust us with the light, the angles, the pace — we've got you.
Photographing a wedding at Launceston Golf Club
Arriving from Franklin House I use the last light on the course before going in: a fairway with the tree line behind, and the couple walking back toward the clubhouse. Golf clubs are wide open, so it pays to shoot with the sun low and behind them. Inside I watch for the mix of daylight and warm room light at the start of the reception and settle on one white balance for the speeches. The gallery below is the Franklin House wedding whose reception was held here.
