About Fitzroy Gardens
Fitzroy Gardens are located on the southeastern edge of Melbourne's CBD, one of the major Victorian-era landscaped gardens in Australia. The gardens showcase stunning landscapes, historic features, and elegant settings that make them perfect for pre-wedding photography. With well-maintained lawns, beautiful tree avenues, and charming structures, Fitzroy Gardens offers a romantic and timeless backdrop for capturing your special moments.
Best Season to Shoot
Autumn (April - June): The golden autumn foliage is the most popular season. Yellow leaves create a warm, romantic atmosphere perfect for photos.
Spring (September - November): Fresh green foliage and spring flowers create a vibrant, fresh setting.
Summer (December - February): Lush green gardens provide beautiful backdrops, though midday sun can be strong.
Winter (June - August): Less ideal as trees lose their leaves, but the garden structures remain beautiful.
Best Time of Day
Midday to Afternoon (11am - 4pm): This is the ideal time at Fitzroy Gardens. Morning light is often too dim, while midday to afternoon provides the best natural lighting conditions.
Photography Tips
For Brides: Simple, elegant gowns work beautifully at Fitzroy Gardens. The garden setting complements classic and minimalist bridal wear.
For Grooms: Smart casual suits pair well with the relaxed garden atmosphere. Light to medium colours work particularly well.
