G’day, Ciao!

We’re Janaka and Giulia - partners in life, creativity, and content. Alongside our dog Tito, we travel, shoot, edit, and create storytelling-driven visuals that help hospitality venues shine.

We’ve lived in a vineyard in Tuscany, taken care of a citrus orchard in Portugal, made olive oil by hand, and spent long evenings around tables with chefs, farmers, and food lovers across the world. Now, we’re back in Australia, helping venues turn their food, space, and story into high-impact content and loving every moment of it.

We created Venues & Menus because we believe that good food deserves great storytelling. And we’ve built our lives around both.

Who we are

Janaka is your photographer.

He spent 5 years in Melbourne working with some of Australia’s top chefs and best-known venues, honing his craft in the country’s food capital. Now back in his hometown of the Gold Coast, he’s bringing that clean, editorial style to local venues ready to stand out. With a background in editorial, real estate, and fine art photography, Janaka captures not just food, but atmosphere - the energy of a dish, a service, a space. Whether it’s a signature cocktail or your venue at golden hour, he’s got the eye to make it unforgettable.

Giulia is your social strategist.

Born in Italy and raised on real food and strong coffee, she brings a fresh, European approach to social media. Her specialty? Reels that actually convert, content calendars that make sense, and social strategies that build connection - not just clicks. She’s the one behind your captions, hashtags, brand tone, and consistent, beautiful presence online.

Tito is our resident good boy. He’s part of the team too - keeping the vibe relaxed and the hearts warm. He’s also MORE than happy to eat all the leftovers!

What we believe

We’ve worked the land. We’ve cooked with our hands. We’ve built gardens, pressed olives, and helped grow the food we now shoot. That gives us a deep respect for the people behind the plate - and a real passion for helping them get noticed.

We don’t outsource. We don’t overbook. We show up fully - with our gear, our skills, and a genuine interest in what you’re building. Our job is to help your venue look and feel amazing, online and off.

Let’s bring your story to life.

Whether you need a one-off shoot, a fresh social media strategy, or an ongoing creative partner who actually gets hospitality - we’d love to work with you.
