About us

Hi, we’re the someone else.

Here’s the thing about planning an event. You could spend months chasing vendors, building spreadsheets and hoping the timings hold. Then on the day, you’re the one fixing a late delivery instead of enjoying the night.

Or you could get someone else to do it. That’s us.

The planner

Alicia

Alicia is a project manager by trade. She specialises in managing vendors and stakeholders, keeping timings tight and keeping the energy up. She’s the calm voice holding the run sheet, so you never have to look at it.

The photographer

Nathan

Nathan is a Canberra photographer who has shot for brands like Porsche, BMW, Audi, Hilton and Pullman, as well as weddings, engagements and elopements. He looks for the natural, unposed moments, and he knows Canberra’s best light and locations.

Together

8+ years between us. One team.

Married, and with 8+ years of experience between us, we started Someone Else Collective so one team could look after the whole event. Alicia already knows where Nathan needs to stand. Nathan already knows the run sheet. You just turn up.

We’ll be where we said, when we said.

Your vendors will hear from us, not from you.

You’ll be in the moment, and in the photos.

Let’s grab a coffee.

Tell us about your plans. We’ll bring the questions.
