Perth Wedding, Portrait, & Event Photographer
I’ve kept a journal since I was 7. From the age of 13, I also kept a planner. I’m not sure when I started also carrying a notebook &/or sketchbook with me everywhere, but it was sometime before I turned 19. Without fully admitting to my current age, let’s just say it’s been a long […]
Just before Christmas I was asked if I had time to do a family shoot with their newest (fur covered) addition. The benefit to Summer’s late sunsets was that, on the date they needed, I was able to finish up at the event I was covering & would still have natural light available for them! […]
Today there was standing room only on the right side of History!! As per the media release put out today by Attorney General, George Brandis, “The right to marry in Australia will no longer be determined by sex or gender. Marriage will now be defined in the Marriage Act 1961 as the ‘union of two […]
Balingup Medieval Carnivale’s 20th anniversary event was every part as awesome as we expected it would be! The wet weather only made it seem more like we’d been transported back in time to very old England, with the rain falling over the rolling green hills creating a stunning backdrop. The committee behind the Carnivale have […]
My generation seems to be attending more funerals than weddings, at a time where it should still be the other way around. Even as a wedding photographer I seem to be attending more funerals than weddings, which is frightening. This week alone, my circle has had two very unexpected losses. One of these gorgeous women […]
This fantastic wedding was just the right sort of different – they knew they didn’t need to take the day seriously so made sure they, & their guests, enjoyed themselves above all else. There was humour, a heap of good DIY, history, a play on the idea of tradition, & a lot of laughter. They […]
Today is Remembrance Day. The guns fell silent 11am on the 11th November 1918, after more than 4 years of constant warfare in the first modern world conflict. This Armistice was the end of WW1. Today, we remember the Fallen. Each year on this day, the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th […]
Did you miss out on visiting my stall at this year’s Act Belong Commit Zig Zag Festival? Want another chance to get your hands on some really cool stuff? Come down to Guildford Twilight Markets this Friday evening! 5pm – 9pm in Stirling Square (the park opposite the railway from Alfred’s Kitchen). It’s right […]
This year is the 30th annual Act Belong Commit Zig Zag Festival! There have been thirty festivals since its inception in 1982. The Zig Zag Community Arts Inc have done an amazing job with the event – it’s entirely run by volunteers. Free entry, free activities, three stages, a parade, craft & food stalls. The […]
Lego is the abbreviation of two Danish words, “Leg godt,” meaning “play well.” Certainly can’t argue with that when it comes to most well-known product to come out of their factories since they launched the business in 1932. It’s synonymous with childhood. It’s a brand, and product, that is known, loved, and respected the world […]
The “Swell of the Decade” has been hitting Western Australia since Friday, thanks to a huge storm 2,000km off the coast. 5m (16ft) waves with 16 second swell periods….. Up to 9-12m (30-40ft) waves. The “Ride of a Lifetime.” So what would Bodhi do? He’d be right in there! Wouldn’t miss it for anything of […]
The news today was quite sombre within the WA State Emergency Service online groups. There was another cliff rescue – two in fact – up in Karijini National Park. Specialised teams, often made up by members from multiple units, are sent out to perform a time sensitive rescue under dangerous conditions. Vertical Rescue team members […]
One Friday in late May, I decided we were buying ourselves some new LEGO. Things have been hard of late, & we needed something light & silly to break the gloom. It was money that we really couldn’t afford to spare, but it was justifiable in the circumstances. The LEGO that my brother & I […]
Our team for the WW1 Series spent 3 evenings shooting on location. Not including preparation or travel time, we spent roughly 2 hours each of those nights on ‘set’. Yet there are only 6 photos in the limited edition print release. So what happened to the photos that didn’t make the cut? Press […]
My mother’s parents met during the Second World War. They’re not the only members of my family who have served their countries, but they’re the ones I knew closest. Gran was a nurse, and Pock was a pilot in the Navy. I always wanted to follow in his footsteps, and applied for the Royal Australian […]
This ANZAC Day marks the 100 year anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli by the Australia & New Zealand Army Corps. 100 years!! A Centenary! This year’s ANZAC Day celebrations are going to be the biggest yet. The enormous amount of time, thought, effort & funding that has been put into preparing for this is […]
I’ve known Paul for a decade. Four years ago, he asked the love of his life to marry him. And not long after that, they asked me to be their wedding photographer. These two lovebirds are so perfect for each other, it’s hard to remember a time that they weren’t together. I adore Nina as […]
This has been the most convoluted & long-winded move I’ve made since changing country/city… & I’m not entirely sure even those times were this complex. Every spanner we could have been thrown, has been! The new house has required so much cleaning (seriously…. 4 bottles of Sugar Soap, plus oven cleaner, Ajax, Finish, Jif, Dettol, […]
>> Read Day One << I sat, SES uniform ready & bag packed, waiting for our deployment orders to come out. We’d been stood down Tuesday night (Wednesday morning) at 1am, after a long day of searching for Sam through yards & houses. We had to have a set amount of time for sleep for […]
No matter how much I see that brings me deeper into cynicism, I still manage to find things to make me believe, hope, & be thankful for the good in people. The sense of community in times of need. Not just from within the street, nor even just the suburb, but from the opposite ends […]
