AREAS WE SERVICE

Our Northern Beaches Wedding Photography service is based in Manly. But that doesn't mean we only service the Northern Beaches. I predominantly take bookings in Sydney, Hunter Valley, South Coast and Central Coast areas. I love to travel for weddings. It's this love for travel and shooting in new locations that means we don't charge any extra fees for weddings within three hours drive of Sydney. I also shoot elopements and destination weddings in Australia and worldwide.

Manly War Memorial

184 Carlton Terrace, Manly QLD 4179
A Brisbane bayside soldier statue memorial has had a harsh life in serving to remind its community of the 16 local men who died in WWI. The original Carrara marble soldier statue above a plinth was unveiled by state parliamentarian WH Barnes MLA in March 1921. The designer and stonemason are unrecorded. Names on the front of the plinth are those of men from Manly who died in WWI. The western face bears the names of locals who died in WWII. Years of vandalism culminated in the marble statue being pulled from the pedestal and the head broken off in 1992. A concrete replica replaced the statue in 2007.
