We met at Campos. A few espressos later, confessions about our love of travelling and obsessive love for all creatures great and small (particularly monkeys) we knew this was going to be something amazing.

Kirby’s exact words were “this is going to be flippin awesome”.

A few weeks later Kirby flew off to Indonesia, a trip she’d be planning for some time to volunteer for 2 weeks at a Sanctuary for injured and orphaned Macaques (monkeys).

A girl after my own heart.

Kirby + Mitch are amazing people. Their wedding day wouldn’t be any different.

10 months rolled around and here we are, on that very day.

The sun was out on Byronview farm and every single detail, was painstakingly, perfectly planned and perfectly them.

Their handmade, hand chopped, hand hammered, wooden centrepieces, complete with real Moss that Kirby’s step-dad had meticulously hot glued onto each and every branch.

Their gift to their guests, a donation in their behalf to the very same sanctuary that Kirby had volunteered at.

Their ceremony overlooked rolling green hills with cows grazing in the background (I’m sure they came out especially for Mitch and Kirby).

Their family and friends wandered the amazing property, mojitos in hand with grins on their faces from ear to ear.

Their reception was bathed in warmth, not for the sake of the heaters (it was a mighty cold night) but more so for the joy that filled that marquee.

Their dancefloor was outside under the stars and despite the bitterly cold wind that swept up over the mountain it didn’t stop anyone from dancing until their feet hurt and even then they didn’t stop.

It was truly something amazing. 

This was the very first weddng ever held at the beautiful Byronview Farm and we got to shoot it. What a privelege.

We recently took some time off and travelled up the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and had a few days to just eat, drink and be merry with some good friends of ours.

Whilst we were away we also took time out to reflect on the last few years and I couldn’t help but think more about a blog post I wrote a few months ago titled “lost”.

I wrote a post about being ‘lost’ as a photographer and the process in which Tenielle and I ‘found’ ourselves creatively. I didn’t realise at the time that this post would resinate with so many other photographers and creatives alike.

It did get me thinking though.

Thinking about sharing more of our experiences with other likeminded photographers that may be struggling with the same feelings we had when we first started.

The first thought that naturally came to mind was to offer a workshop. However after thinking more about this I realised that we could offer something more personal.

Something that isn’t just about inspiration, but about change.

Changing the way you look at your creativity, your business and yourself.

A rediscovery call it.

Don’t get me wrong, this experience won’t be all about us.

It’s going to be about you.

About ending your creative block as a photographer and as a business. A personal mentor session.

To start, we’re posting our travel dates as we’ll likely start offering these sessions whilst we’re abroad this year.

We’re of course living and shooting in Brisbane (and surrounds) all other times in between and around the dates below…

Adelaide = February 9 – 13th

Sydney = February 23rd – 27th

South Africa & Botswana = June 9 – 29^th

UK & Italy = June 30^th – 16^th of July

NYC, Florida and California  = 17^th of July – 19^th of August

Sydney = August 20th -28th

We’ll also be accepting a limited number of wedding and portrait assignments whilst we’re traveling, so if our work resonates with you and our travel dates match, we’d love to chat.

P.S Our little holiday snaps were taken on our Instax.
