Sometimes you get those lucky moments when you can comment on life through your own eyes.

My fiance Elizabeth and I were flown down to Sydney to put our creative spin on the city during Winter, taking in the many wonderful sights (including the wonder of Vivid Festival) on the eve of us becoming parents for the first time in 7 weeks (whoa!). It was a magic long weekend together.

So below is our little personal tale of love in the big city, autumn leaves, coffee’s and bird cages, with a twist of oceanography. I put a bit of heart into this edit so I hope it shines through.

A big thanks to Destination NSW and Sydney.com for the wonderful creative opportunity.
