Hunter Valley Wedding Photographer


Candid Modern Creative


Hi I'm Mike from Belstar Photography a Hunter Valley Wedding Photographer providing candid ,modern ,creative wedding photography packages . I am a inclusive photographer with almost 10 years professional photographic experience. I am double vaccinated as is my assistant , second shooter and videographer.


My wedding style is to document the day as it unfolds in a candid , modern , creative way. . As well as capturing those must have shots of family and friends portrait in a fun & relaxed way . We discuss prior your thoughts and ideas and any special photos you require but nothing is scripted.

Each year I take on a limited amount of clients so that I can give everyone the same amount of time and attention. I have never liked time limits or any limits and do all of my own editing. Find out more about me on my About page as well as pricing & options on my pricing page.

I am based on the Central Coast which is just under 1 hr away from the Hunter valley and i have been coming to the Hunter Valley for many many years for weekends away , Concerts , wine tasting & of course weddings many as the wedding photographer and some as guest. There is no place like it with some of my favourite restaurants ,wide open vista's ,that timeless look and with so many different Wedding venue options to choose from I love being part of couples weddings who choose the hunter valley region for their wedding.


HUNTER VALLEY WEDDING VENUES

With so many great venues many purpose built for weddings all offering something different & unique its so hard for me to pick a favourite from the many I have photographed at. Very close to the top of my bucket list is the Convent - Circa 1876 - I have eaten there too many times to remember & would love to shoot a wedding there. 


THE CONVENT - CIRCA -1876

It’s a beautiful rustic restaurant that is part of The Convent Group. Its history as the name suggests is an original homestead which forms part of the restaurant and is filled with character , charm and warmth. Can accommodate various size groups up to 150. You won’t be disappointed if you choose this venue. Over the past 25 years or more originally as Roberts restaurant its been a favourite of mine & many others consistently winning awards and leading the way in food innovation. It's not too difficult a place to fall in love with.  


PEPPERS CREEK -CHAPEL & BARREL ROOM

Peppers Creek is a rustic, vineyard wedding venue next door to the Hunter valley gardens.It has a chapel among the vines next door is the reception room Peppers Creek Barrel Room which can accommodate up to 150 guests but have seen it stretched to 200. Every venue is great in the Hunter some better than great & many expensive. Peppers is better than great but also well priced and I have heard only positive feedback from couples who had their wedding there. Great support team also do a great job of co ordinating and looking after couples .


PETERSON HOUSE

Another great wedding venue on the right as you turn in to broke road . Have probably shot more weddings here than anywhere else so of course its fav . None since its new Chapel was built not long before COVID so very keen to reconnect at this venue . Known for its great food & award winning support team and of course its sparkling wine. I was just there for a visit first week of May 2022 and its looking just spectacular. Its location one of the best for accessibility but unfortunately it’s within the 5k no fly zone which makes aerial photography not legally possible . 


I photography weddings all over NSW and beyond and the Hunter valley not only is one of my favourites but number 1 on my list where I would like to do more weddings . It's very very rustic & warm and provides me more opportunity to be creative for my couples particularly in the black & white space.
