On the fifteenth of April, I married the love of my life. Our day started at a cosy little airbnb in southern Adelaide. We opted to forgo traditions and spent the night before our big day together. Getting ready in the same space was extremely fun and it made things much easier for our make-up […]

When I met Ella in November of 2020, it was clear pretty instantaneously that she was someone special. I fell hard and fast and also incredibly deeply for Ella, and by the end of our first month together, I knew that she was my forever person. It sounds fast (because it is) but I just knew. So […]

Living in Darwin has many perks. We get cheap and abundant mangoes, hilarious headlines courtesy of the NT news and the most amazing monsoons.
