SANDON POINT

“Where coastal beauty meets quiet magic.”

Sandon Point stands as one of the Illawarra’s most iconic and picturesque coastal locations — a dream setting for couples seeking stunning wedding photography and videography by the ocean. With its sweeping headland views, golden sand, and wild natural beauty, Sandon Point effortlessly combines raw coastal energy with laid-back charm.

What makes this spot truly special are the famous heritage boat sheds, lined up along the shoreline like something from a bygone era. These rustic, colourful sheds add depth, texture, and storytelling to your wedding photos — whether you’re after whimsical portraits, editorial-style frames, or intimate beachside candids.

From the dramatic cliff-top overlooking the rolling surf, to the gentle waves lapping the sand, and the windswept grasses hugging the shore, Sandon Point offers a diverse canvas for cinematic wedding imagery. It’s equally ideal for romantic couple sessions, bridal party portraits, or quiet sunset moments captured in golden light.

At Cole Studios, we’ve photographed countless beautiful weddings here, and we know exactly how to use the changing light, angles, and natural elements to deliver photos that feel alive, authentic, and unforgettable.

If you’re drawn to the ocean, natural textures, and coastal magic, Sandon Point is the perfect backdrop for a love story captured with artistry and emotion.
