Sunnybrae Estate Pavilion Wedding – Ritamaree & Sydney

Ritamaree and Sydney’s mid-November wedding was certainly unforgettable! The fireworks, ‘great’ weather and beautiful people all combined to make for an amazing wedding day that was a real joy to be a part of!

So we are back after the COVID lockdown. However, like most companies today, we weren’t very fast. Right now we have to work around social distancing and COVID safe guidelines. At least we started working in the studio, because I think we’re all a little frustrated here working from home.

As a studio based studio, it’s been quite difficult to cater for all kinds of work at home during the last few months. That said, we did some bits and bobs in the studio that kept us ticking. During a lockdown of about five weeks, we actually did a few

Rare Footage Showing Moose Dropping Antlers Captured on Security Camera Goes Viral

When a snowstorm headed toward Alaska the evening of Dec. 15, Tyra Bogert headed to her sister’s house in case the power went out. As she scrolled through TikTok with her nephew, she noticed a notification from her Ring camera.
