Perth Wedding, Portrait, & Event Photographer
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 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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
I’ve just gotten home after a whirlwind, 2 day Southwest photo safari, & I’m not sure if I’m more excited about the photos we took or the conversations I had with strangers. I was up at 3am to get to the meet point out in Perth foothills for a 4am escape from Perth. Jason Matz […]
As promised, now that the gallery exhibition is over, here are the brave words of one of my models. Miss Pixie flew out from Sydney for me in 2012, lugged costumes with her, & spent 4 hours at a hairdresser to alter her hair for a character. We had a very full-on week of sewing, […]
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 […]
It’s no secret that I’m a massive Whovian. What you might not know is that I have a full size, Tom Baker era, replica TARDIS. She is not the same Sexy that was hired for my birthday last year – that one was 3/4 sized, modelled on a much later version & was in terrible […]
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 […]
So, this book that I’m doing on what shoes say about a person & what drives a person’s shoe choice…. There’s more than one way to take part. You can model, fill out a questionnaire or three, or you can submit anecdotes. Or all of the above. Anecdotes can be anything really. It could be a […]
Lately it seems almost everyone I know has at least one pair of “Chucks” or a fake. I still have my first pair of One Stars that my dad bought me for my 14th birthday (a long time ago) because the shop stuffed up & ordered them instead of the All Stars I’d wanted. I still have […]
A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to work with Chris & Lara together in my studio for a Couples shoot. They’re both beautiful people & are entirely adorable together; it’s like they were quite literally made for each other! You’ll have seen Lara a few times in my photos – she’s a great […]
