Grace & Rich - Top 4 Things To Do In West End

Grace & Rich - Top 4 Things To Do In West End

Grace & Rich are getting married next year back home England. They have been living in Australia for the last five and half years but only recently decided to make the move back to be with family. Grace is a super talented photographer who has established herself as one of the most sought after fashion photographers in Brisbane. Living and working in West End meant they got to know the place pretty well. Jet Black Cat Music and The End are two establishments that have become particularly special to them. We really wanted the photos to feel more like an average Sunday afternoon than an engagement shoot. Just two people hanging out, doing things they love to do – browsing through some records, grabbing a drink and heading down to the river for sunset and a spot of skateboarding. It was so much fun I decided to name the blog post ‘Top Four Things To Do In West End’. All the best for the move and wedding Grace and Rich!

Michael's Christening - Greek Orthodox Church & The Joinery West End

Michael's Christening - Greek Orthodox Church & The Joinery West End

What a pleasure it was to capture the christening of little Michael recently. I love photographing in the Greek Orthodox Church, it has such an incredible atmosphere. When the incense and prayers start it is impossible not to feel moved. However nothing seemed to phase Michael, staying cool the entire time!

The ceremony was followed by a lunch reception just around the corner at West End’s new venue The Joinery. Open, light and airy – the space looked amazing. Complete with ice cream parlour, face painting, children’s entertainment and one of the best looking dessert bars I have ever seen, it was fair to say the kids (and adults) had a blast.

If you’re looking for a modern wedding venue that is close to the city, with amazing food, service and atmosphere seriously check out The Joinery. Plus there is a serious smorgasbord of photo locations in West End.

Tasmania

Tasmania

Bellow is a small collection of photos from our recent trip to Tasmania. When touristing, I love getting into the history of a place and as most of us know Tassy has quite an interesting one. Did you know that Hobart is Australia’s second oldest city? It was settled when the Brits in Sydney realised it was a separate island and were scared the French would establish a rival colony. So they sent a bunch of convicts down to start a new settlement. / End history lesson.

We spent hours walking around the streets of Salamanca, Battery Point and Sandy Bay. The little cottages and terrace houses are such a contrast from the Queenslanders and architecture of Brisbane. I will be sharing the odd personal post between weddings and other shoots. Hope you don’t mind.

Highlights: 

• Homemade jam at our AirBNB plus a croissant from the amazing bakery, Jackman & McRoss in Battery point. And yes of course I had a scallop pie.

• Hopping aboard the MOMA ROMA to the epic Museum of Old and New Art.

• Salamanca markets. Unfortunately not as many cheeses and tasty treats as we were hoping for. Still, I did get to try a wallaby burrito.

• Driving to the top of Mount Wellington. 30 minute drive from the centre of town. Charles Darwin described Mount Wellington as having “no picturesque beauty”. Each to their own I guess!

• The super tame wildlife. An Echidna sprawled out asleep in the middle of a walking track not bothered by us whatsoever until we gave him a poke thinking he could be sick or injured. Nope, just having a rest before continuing to gorge himself on an ants nest.

• Cradle Valley and the Waldheim track. Read up about Gustav Weindorfer if you are ever in the Cradle Mountain area.

Most of these images were taken with a Nikon D750 and the 28mm f1.8 G.
