FILM MAKERS, PHOTOJOURNALISTS, STORYTELLERS, ADVENTURERS, RESEARCHERS
WE'VE CURRENTLY PARKED OUR PAJERO
IN GERALDTON, WA
After over a decade of photographing weddings, portraits, and life on this beautiful island, we’ve pressed pause while life takes us in new directions. Stu is now working as a newspaper photographer in regional WA, and Angie is diving deep into history, researching the 1727 Zeewijk shipwreck as part of her master’s. We still have a few projects underway on Straddie and will be back now and then — but for now, thank you for being part of our story.
We’re storytellers at heart, blending our backgrounds in photojournalism, documentary filmmaking, travel, and creative media to share the stories that matter. After more than a decade living and working on North Stradbroke Island, we’re expanding our horizons—travelling, collaborating, and diving into projects that connect people to culture, history, and place. Whether behind the lens or the page, we’re driven by a love for real moments and meaningful stories. We’re open to exploring new opportunities and projects of all kinds.
ETHICAL DOCUMENTARY FILM MAKING
Connecting to Culture
Our documentary work focuses on preserving and celebrating cultural heritage. From unique histories of local communities to stories of resilience, we’re passionate about creating films that spark conversations and foster understanding. With a commitment to ethical storytelling, we collaborate with grass root community leaders to ensure their voices remain heard.
BOOKS AND AUTHORS
Telling Stories Through Pages
Storytelling doesn’t stop with film and photography. Our thirst for narrative led us to co-create Eat, Drink and Be Straddie—a celebration of local flavours and culture that has resonated with readers across Australia and beyond. This passion project took on a life of its own, and we’d love to embark on similar endeavours in the future. Whether it’s crafting recipes or diving into creative narratives, we bring stories to life in every medium.
PHOTOGRAPHERS | JOURNALISTS
Careers in Visual Storytelling
We both began our careers as photojournalists, covering everything from front-page news to long-form features across Australia and the UK. Photography has been our foundation, shaping our ability to capture authentic moments and tell compelling stories. While our work has evolved, our love for visual storytelling remains central to everything we do.
TRAVEL
The Art of Simple Adventures
We are lifelong travellers and camping enthusiasts, drawn to authentic experiences and places off the beaten path. From campfire dinners to sunrise hikes, we embrace a simple, grounded lifestyle. Some of our favourite things include good friends, homegrown food cooked over a campfire, and quiet, unspoiled destinations. Our travel work reflects this ethos, focusing on the raw beauty of the world and the connections we make along the way.
PRESERVING STORIES
Oral History and Museums
With extensive experience in oral history projects and museum collaborations, we’re committed to preserving cultural heritage. Our work has been recognised nationally, and we continue to seek projects that amplify the voices of diverse communities, ensuring their stories are told with respect, care, and authenticity.
