Milton Park, Bowral
I always love venturing down to Bowral to capture a beautiful Southern Highlands wedding. The whole region is beautiful all year round, and each season brings it’s own unique beauty to the area. If you’re considering having a Bowral wedding and Milton Park Country House as your wedding venue, then you are looking at one of the most beautiful spots you can get married in the highlands.
This wedding venue just outside of Bowral is steeped in history. A grand mansion built at the turn of the twentieth century it reads like a fairytale. It’s absolutely gorgeous all year around, with the change of seasons comes a new light on the whole place. As a wedding venue, Milton Park boasts a number of options to help bring any wedding dreams come to life.

Hi, I’m Jack Of Jack Chauvel Photography
As you can tell, I’m a big fan of weddings in the Southern Highlands area. I have wanted to photograph at Milton Park Country House Hotel & Spa and through availability I have unfortunately not been able to photograph a wedding there yet. I would absolutely love the chance to create some magic there, so if you are planning a wedding day there then I would love to hear from you.
