Hello
I’m Tanika, the founder and creative behind Coulson Creative (formerly Rahisi Sage Adventures).
Coulson Creative is a creative studio built around people, stories, and meaningful moments. While photography is where it all began, and still very much at the heart of what I do, the studio has grown to include wedding and event planning, coordination, design, and creative consulting.
This allows me to support clients in a more hands-on, thoughtful way, from the first idea right through to the final details.
My Story
My love for creativity started long before Coulson Creative.
As a kid, I was constantly in front of a camera, posing for my uncle, who’s a photographer. I became fascinated by the way a camera could freeze a feeling or a moment in time. My first true obsession? Clouds. My gallery was full of them! Different skies, light, textures, all little reminders that beauty lives in the everyday.
At the same time, I was growing up around events and hospitality. With a parent working in events and marketing, I saw early on what happens behind the scenes, the planning, the logistics, and the care that goes into making people feel welcome and looked after. That people-first way of thinking quietly stayed with me.
I learned responsibility young too. By the time I was ten, I was guiding guests on quad bike experiences on our family farm, learning how to communicate clearly, manage safety, and keep people comfortable while still having fun.
As I got older, I naturally gravitated toward roles that involved people, working in hospitality and retail, caring for children, teaching music, helping manage spaces, and supporting teams. Each role taught me patience, empathy, and how to read a room.
A Jack of All Trades
Music and creativity became a big part of my world as I grew up. I taught music, worked closely with artists, and later found myself in the fast-paced world of live events and productions. I supported large-scale shows and tours for international bands, working behind the scenes on the operational side, coordinating logistics, schedules, travel, and on-the-ground execution, while liaising with artists, their managers, sponsors, venues, ticketing teams, and suppliers.
Alongside this, I’ve always loved being both in front of and behind the camera. Acting became another creative outlet, allowing me to experience storytelling from a completely different perspective. Whether on set, backstage, or behind a lens, I’ve learned how vulnerable creative spaces can be, and how important it is to create environments where people feel safe, supported, and at ease.
Over the years, my work expanded into events, operations, education, podcasts, and community-focused projects. I’ve coordinated teams, managed logistics, handled client communication, worked on social media and content, and supported businesses behind the scenes. These experiences naturally led me to offer consulting and training support, especially around customer service, people management, and helping hospitality-focused teams create better experiences for their clients.
My Approach
No matter what I’m working on, my approach stays the same: care, intention, and heart.
I believe the best work happens when people feel comfortable. I keep things organized and structured, but never stiff. I like to bring a light, human energy into my work and I’ll happily crack a joke, be a little goofy, or laugh with you if it helps ease nerves and create connection. When people feel relaxed and at ease, the magic really happens.
Whether I’m coordinating an event, planning a wedding, consulting for a business, or working on a creative project, my goal is always to make the process feel smooth, enjoyable, and stress-free. I want clients to feel heard, supported, and confident that everything is being taken care of, without losing the joy along the way.
Why Work With Me
People often describe working with me as calm, easy, and reassuring, even in busy or high-pressure environments. I’m known for being organized, adaptable, and deeply committed, while still bringing warmth, kindness, and a sense of fun into everything I do.
Whether you’re here for photography, wedding or event coordination, consulting, or creative support, I care deeply about the people I work with and the experiences we create together. I bring together all the skills I’ve picked up along the way, from hospitality and events to music, acting, education, and operations, to create work that feels thoughtful, personal, and genuinely meaningful.
At the heart of it all, I’m simply someone who loves bringing ideas to life, helping people feel at ease, and turning moments (big or small) into something special.
Let’s create something beautiful together!
