Clarissa & Zac’s Cottesloe Beach Engagement Shoot

These cuties are getting married in December. Over winter we managed to dodge the rain for their engagement shoot at Cottesloe Beach.

Cannot wait to see the amazing styling by The Original Wedding Company on their wedding day!

Enjoy xx

Are you ready to create magic and unforgettable moments together?

We’ve been so busy unpacking, and have had so ma

We’ve been so busy unpacking, and have had so many trades people still coming and going to finish off little jobs, that we haven’t fully had the opportunity to appreciate how we’ve managed to transform our home.

It wasn’t until I spent hours taking photos and doing these reels yesterday, and especially seeing the before and afters, that I can now say WOW! We actually did it! This has been a 14 year dream in the making since I first bought this house before Nia and I met. And to be able to truly make it our own now, has been so rewarding, and I’m so proud of what we’ve achieved. Especially in such a short time frame. Our 9 week reno ended up taking 10 weeks, which most of you will know is quite an achievement in the current building boom!

I can’t wait to personalise it some more, and finally get our wedding wall I’ve been dreaming of for 3 years!

Thank you so much for following along on this wild renovation journey of ours!

Stay tuned for round two coming up in a few months as we tackle the street appeal, and finish off a few other bits inside.

Thank you for being here. Now back to focusing on work!

Erica 🖤

She might be small, but damn she’s pretty!!!! 🎀

We clearly overcompensated for the lack of size by making it the nicest it could possibly be. And let me tell you, by moving the toilet and changing the window, we managed to include a pretty big shower! The bench seat and pink natural stone tiles, paired with the brushed copper fixtures, are by far my favourite features.

We’re in love with how luxe it turned out

💗💗💗

Here she is!!!! Our unrecognisable kitchen transformation!

It looks incredible, but more importantly, feels fantastic and is a joy to be in the space.

We have so much more storage which is so much more functional than it used to be.

We love our appliances selections too. Once we eventually get new small appliances and tea towels etc, and do some styling, I’ll share more.

We absolutely love it! Thank you for coming along on this ride with us!

SURPRISE! She said yes!!! 💍

Kain was a Groomsman at a recent wedding, and when he contacted me to organise a maternity shoot, I thought it was a little unusual to hear from the father to be, instead of expecting mumma. He then revealed he wanted to propose to Kass during their shoot, and I couldn't help but be extra, extra excited for them! Starting a family is already such a huge milestone worth celebrating, but doubled with a proposal, was just the best!

Kain and I came up with a secret cue which would tell him it was time to drop to one knee to pop the question. I told him we would do a back to back pose, and after that, he would get in position as I took some solo photos of Kass, and then I'd ask them to turn back towards each other.

Disclaimer ~ the bump comparison was all Kain 😂

Upon turning around, Kass dropped the F bomb in disbelief, followed by happy tears, hugs and shaking hands 😭 Oh my goodness, do I have the best job in the world or what???

What a privilege it is to be surrounded by love in so many forms!

Biggest congratulations Kain & Kass! I can't wait to meet your baby in a few weeks!!!

We did it!!! Sort of… almost… so close!

If you’ve been following along, it would’ve been pretty hard to miss the updates that we’ve been renovating our 90’s home for the past 9 weeks.

Today, we moved home and what a journey it’s been!

Every time we told people what was being done in 9 weeks, they gave us this look 😏 followed by “good luck!“ 🍀

Yep, unexpected things turned up. Yep, we blew the budget and kept adding a few more things here and there which quickly added up to thousands. Yep, there’s still a handful of things not 100% finished, but today, we moved into a fully livable home.

This is what our team accomplished:

✔️A new kitchen
✔️Two new bathrooms
✔️New laundry
✔️Removed 2 half walls
✔️Floorboards weaved in where walls got knocked out
✔️Painted all window frames and doors
✔️Painted the entire house internally
✔️Restored our floorboards with a good sand and polish
✔️New carpets
✔️New blinds
✔️Replaced some old frosted glass
✔️Re-did the lighting throughout the whole house
✔️Removed 3 doors and replaced them with sliding doors

Phew! The kitchen bench top unfortunately delayed us, but it’s being installed Monday, so it’s not far away at all. Following that, the plumber will connect the sink and dishwasher, and we’ll have a kitchen we can use. So that’s only a few days away. The backsplash will get tiled in a couple of weeks I think, as the tiler is on holidays next week. But at least we’ll be able to cook and clean dishes, which is the main thing.

Other little things like some skirting needs to be amended, all our towel rails, toilet roll holders etc need to be installed, but they’re not urgent so that’ll happen next week sometime, along with hanging the dining room pendant.

More life memories off to their forever home this week 🥰

Delivery day is always a favourite. I can’t wait to see their wall art hanging on their bedroom walls!

And that album is spectacular 💞
