Perth Wedding, Portrait, & Event Photographer
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 […]
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 […]
This ANZAC Day marks the 100 year anniversary of the landing at Gallipoli by the Australia & New Zealand Army Corps. 100 years!! A Centenary!

Here’s the post so many of you have been waiting for! Goldfields SES Challenge 2014!! Once per year, during the ‘Western Australia Day’ long weekend, the Western Australian State Emergency Service hold the Goldfields SES Challenge at a different location within the Goldfields region. This year, it was held in & around the town of […]
I can’t post much about Goldfields SES Challenge yet, as we’re waiting for the Local Manager of our unit to be back from his holiday first. We want to show him the photos from challenge, so we’re holding back on public posts until we’ve had our training night (Wednesday) & put them up on the […]
Around this time last year, I wrote about my experiences being invited to attend the annual Goldfields SES Challenge. They made me feel welcome, as though I was one of their own, & it made the task of following them around for 3 days a lot of fun. A sea of tents & hundreds of […]
The thing about Australians, is they’re a very laid back bunch. As a culture there’s a lot to be said for, “She’ll be right mate, no worries.” The standard response to a bad thing is to crack a tinny with your best mate. Ignore it, build a bridge & get over it, because it will […]
Perth’s Fringe World Festival is over for another year. We can hang up our artist passes & actually get a bit of rest & normality back into our lives. Hah!! Who are we kidding?! Good intentions aside, it’s probably more likely a rushed game of catch up for all the things we missed or put […]
National SES Week runs from 11th November – 17th November 2013 It is a week for West Australian’s to recognise the hard work of the State Emergency Service (SES). Held nationally in early November, these are the dates that WA hold it. Just like the Queen’s Birthday, we’re a little bit different over here =) […]
Today is Remembrance Day. The date marks the anniversary of the armistice that ended WW1. Every year, at 11am on the 11th day of the 11th month, the people of Australia take a minute of silence to remember those who suffered or died in war & armed conflict. This year is the 95th anniversary of […]
I recently spent some time out in the Goldfields of Western Australia with the State Emergency Service (& my ever present camera). Once per year, during the Labour Day (WA Day) long weekend, the WA SES hold the Goldfields SES Challenge at a different location within the region. This year was their 10th annual challenge […]
The annual Zig Zag Festival is only a week away!! This year it’s Stirk du Soleil, a play on words derived from Cirque du Soliel. Still can’t quite pick it? Well… technically it’s not English so here’s a hint… the festival is held in Stirk Park & has a circus theme this year! Now that […]
This past weekend, Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th August, saw the annual Balingup Medieval Carnival grace the small & picturesque town of Balingup in South Western Australia. The town of Balingup, located 237km south of Perth, came alive with the long dead styles of the European dark ages. Known as the ‘Kingdom of Balingup’ for […]
This year’s Avon Descent started with a bang – Northam put on a fantastic fireworks display over the Avon River & the bridge into town as part of their Avon River Festival & I was lucky enough to be there. Held in Bernard Park & Minson Avenue, Northam, the Avon River Festival involves a street […]
Saturday night saw the the absolutely fabulous time warp to the feverish 70s, held by Zig Zag Community Arts. Featuring live sets by Flashback & special guests, including Songstresses Roxy & Sophie, violinist Rebecca, horns by Gerrard & Michelle, & harmonies by the Chicken Supremes, the dance floor only emptied when the band were on […]
Zig Zag Community Arts are at it again!! On 14th March, they brought Stirk Park, Kalamunda, to life with music & laughter; this time with a range of musical sounds from performers NumGuts Bush Band & Black Chook Chutney. Dances were demonstrated by Jenny, flautist of NumGuts, & called by Tony & Kevin, also of […]
Zig Zag Community Arts are at it again. Seeing a gap in the Bush Dance market – the last one at Whiteman Park was in 2006 – they’ve gone out on a limb & brought them back. With the great excuse of raising funds for the Madjitil Moorna Halls Creek Project, they brought Stirk Park, […]
