Wedding photographer's point of view - It's a haven of tradition and full of classic charm. I have photographed a wedding there in October 2023 and it was absolutely majestic!
The church offers a serene ambiance and its atmosphere inside is peaceful, creating a sacred and classic space for couples to exchange their vows.
Everyone were incredibly welcoming and supportive, ensuring the ceremony proceeded smoothly.
For couples living in Canberra seeking a classic and peaceful setting to begin their journey together and say yes, this is the place!

Nice church to visit and see the color stained glass inside. Also have a church bell which we can ring and hear.

Magnificent blend of high Anglican with Presbyterian. Love the wood panelling, pity about the pictures of Christ on the beautiful stained glass windows.
