Hi, we're Ang + Stu
We’re Ang and Stu—storytellers, adventurers, and creatives who are passionate about preserving and sharing the stories that matter.
Before calling North Stradbroke Island home, we were both career newspeople, travelling across Australia, the UK, and beyond, working in media. Our paths crossed at a regional newspaper in Victoria, where we collaborated on front-page stories, won awards, and honed our craft. We finished our newsroom careers at a metro daily in Brisbane before taking a leap into entrepreneurship and building a business in paradise.
For over 12 years, we lived and worked on the stunning North Stradbroke Island. There, we didn’t just build a home; we helped grow a thriving wedding industry from scratch, blending our backgrounds in journalism with a newfound passion for visual storytelling. This unexpected chapter allowed us to celebrate people and place through wedding photography, combining our technical skills with our love of heartfelt narratives.
But life has many chapters. In 2024, after a year of reflection, challenges, and big decisions, we decided it was time to turn the page and embrace new adventures.
We’re currently travelling across Australia, reconnecting with our roots in journalism, documentary filmmaking, and cultural storytelling. Our projects now span oral histories, documentaries, and creative collaborations that celebrate connection, community, and heritage.
Together, we bring complementary strengths to every project. Stu’s technical expertise as a photographer, filmmaker, and certified drone operator ensures precise, stunning visuals, while Ang’s sharp creative vision and journalistic flair bring depth and authenticity to every story.
Whether we’re behind the lens, crafting a book, or setting up a campfire under the stars, we approach every project with the same ethos: connection, curiosity, and care. We believe that stories have the power to inspire, educate, and uplift—and we’re passionate about making them resonate.
As we travel across the country, we’re open to new projects, collaborations, and ideas. Because if there’s one thing we’ve learned, the best stories often find us when we’re least expecting them.
Let’s connect, create, and celebrate the stories that matter most.
