A bit about me.

I’ve been performing ceremonies – weddings and funerals – for my fellow Canberra locals for over thirty years now, and I count myself lucky to have the honour to stand next to people as they mark the significant days in their lives.

I am the principal celebrant of Canberra Celebrants, and through them I offer a range of options to get you married.

I have a keen eye for detail so that all of the little things (and often the very important things) don’t get overlooked. So whether you’re farewelling a loved one, or welcoming a new one into your family, I promise to be your relaxed, respectful, and reliable companion for the days you want to remember everything else.

If your funniest friend doesn’t like public speaking, I can take care of the wedding reception duties. Alternatively, I can act as an MC for your next event.

If I sound like I could be a good fit for your next milestone, let’s chat more.

Using A3 size paper with black pens and splashes of colour Chris has been drawing caricatures since the year 2000.

He is in demand at events such as gala parties, birthdays, Christmas parties, corporate events, trade shows, politician gatherings and even World Doodle Art Day.

He is a previous Guinness World Record holder having captured the record for longest marathon drawing caricatures in 2014. He did live caricaturing for 50 hours capturing over 600 participants and raising over three thousand dollars for the Canberra Hospital Foundation.

Live Caricaturing is very safe. There is no sword swallowing, or fire breathing, just pens, paper, fun and laughter resulting in a great caricature.

Corinne is a rising star in the world of portrait photography.  A keen photographer since getting her first camera at 8 years old, she has lived her life through the lense of her camera.

Before starting her photography business in 2020 Corinne had worked within the events industry in Canberra and found a love and passion for putting events together and working closely with clients to create their dream event. So when Corinne welcomed her first son in 2019 she decided to put her two loves together and become a photographer full time where she can capture all the significant moments in people’s lives. From weddings, special events, maternity and family sessions. The moments that people can treasure for a lifetime.

Working alongside some of the most renowned photographers in the region, Corinne has honed her craft and delights in capturing and preserving people’s most treasured moments.
