Welcome to Circle of Life – where Rachel and Daniel team up to capture life's moments with heart and creativity. It's all about telling stories in every snap, keeping it real and friendly.

Rachel's love for capturing life's moments began with the sweet embrace of newborns and the enchantment of glamour and boudoir photography. Guiding her on this visual adventure was Daniel, a video and photography guru.

Daniel started off filming weddings. As he began to network and grow his business, he transitioned into the field of corporate videos and swore he'd never do weddings again. Unfortunately, the universe had other plans for him, and he has since teamed up with his talented wife to grow Circle of Life. Now, they both work closely together, offering photography and video services.

As the demand for our services soared, our team grew, handpicked by Rachel and Daniel for their passion and commitment to quality. Selective and nurturing in our choices, we ensure each team member undergoes thoughtful training, infusing every project with a touch of excellence.

With over 30 years of combined experience, Rachel, Daniel, and the Circle of Life team have the expertise earned from events such as The Melbourne Cup Carnival, Australian Masters of Fashion and Australian Gown Of The Year Awards Show, Miss Australia and Robert Allenby Gold Day & Gala Dinner. They've also had the privilege of capturing moments with amazing personalities like Delta Goodrem, Jessica Mauboy, and Human Nature, just to name a few.

Step into our warm world, where every click is a shared story, and excellence is not just a standard – it's a friendly embrace in our creative journey.
