After 15 years of Melbourne CBD photography it was time to make a sea change.

With a passion for food, wine & photography, I have explored the creative field of design, flavour & visual art through my two previous business ventures –
Elite Studios Photography & Assaggini Restaurant & Wine Bar.

Elite Studios Photography, based in the Melbourne CBD, was a platform to explore and develop my creative vision in the many elements of photography. With expertise in event, wedding, corporate and portrait photography, Elite Studios was the “go-to” for all city based photographic needs.

Whilst exploring another of my passions, the opportunity presented itself to establish a unique dining venue on the Mornington Peninsula.
Featuring Italian share plates paired with local and international wines.

So here is now – in our new home – Byron Bay. Continuing to explore the adventure of a magical place.
