Life lived in moments, because connection has always been at the heart of what we do.

Events move quickly; laughter, conversations, clinking glasses, celebrations unfolding in real time – and there’s an art to catching the feeling before it passes. Years of working in fast-paced environments taught us how to read a room, anticipate emotion and capture stories as they happen.

From the big highlights to the small in-between details, we capture the atmosphere, the energy, the moments worth remembering. This is where presence meets storytelling, and where your event becomes art.

What we SPECIALISE in

We specialise in capturing atmosphere – the energy, the interactions and the moments that unfold naturally. Every angle tells a different part of the story, so we use them all: wide room shots, intimate details, candid reactions, documentary-style storytelling and cinematic frames built for recaps, galleries or full event coverage.

Our work is built around presence – honest imagery, seamless coverage, lifestyle visuals and complete content packages for celebrations, launches and gatherings of every kind.

Parties, engagements, corporate events, openings, retreats, workshops — if it brings people together, we’re there. From big highlights to quiet in-between moments, we bring events and storytelling together in a way that feels real and alive.

the questions

  • Absolutely. Once we understand the flow of your event, we’ll help map out key moments, timing, important people, and any must-have shots. We work in a documentary style, capturing the day as it unfolds while being intentional about what matters most.

  • Yes. Events are full of natural moments, and we focus heavily on candid storytelling – but we’re also happy to organise small group photos, detail shots or quick portraits when needed.

  • It depends on the scale of your event. Smaller events often need 1–2 hours, while larger celebrations, launches or corporate functions may need 3–5 hours of coverage. We can help you decide what’s best.

    Video can be added to any event package. Alternatively, we cans hoot entirely on film, it’s up to you.

  • Event galleries are typically delivered within 1–2 weeks, depending on the size and scale. If you need a handful of images urgently for social media, we can deliver previews within 48 hours.

  • Yes. We’re based in Newcastle, NSW, but travel locally, interstate and internationally for events. Travel fees are discussed upfront so everything is clear.

  • Absolutely. Most clients want a blend – atmosphere, emotions, details, interactions, groups and key moments. We tailor the coverage to the tone of your event and your priorities.

  • Soul & Stone Jewellery

    “I have just started my own jewellery business and I commissioned Peri to take professional shots of my pieces at my local beach, she was very professional and has such a natural flair, she listened to what I wanted and also made some suggestions to add her creative flair and an individual touch to the look of the final shots. Her model was also very accommodating. The end result was fabulous, especially the main feature, my gemstone lariat. I also used Peri to take shots of my new Emerald collection and Meditation Bracelets at the iconic location, Seal Rocks on the East Coast. This time Peri used her natural artistic flair without any direction from me and once again the results were outstanding,  she truly is very talented. I highly recommend her.”

  • Riley deck

    Peri captured my pregnancy in a way I didn’t know was possible. She is incredibly artistic and shot with such care, and creativity. She made me feel completely comfortable and confident, and the final images are absolutely stunning. A true professional with an incredible eye – I couldn’t recommend her more.”

  • Kellie Mitchell

Peri’s eye and artistic style is truely unique, there’s depth and intention to everything she creates. The love and effort she pours into her work reflects in the final result. I couldn’t recommend working with her more.”
