Our Love Story
From swiping right to saying ‘yes,’ our journey has been full of adventures, laughter, and milestones big and small. This page is where we share the story of how we met, the memories we’ve made along the way, and all the little moments that have brought us to this exciting chapter of our lives — celebrating our engagement with the people we love most.
February 2016
Swiping Right
We first connected on Tinder, and soon after, met in real life. Our first adventure together? A night out at a Melbourne nightclub called Anyway - the start of many memories.
April 2016
Officially Us
While out clubbing on Chapel Street, we made it official as boyfriend and girlfriend.
Nicole also took Brad to his very first AFL game - a true rite of passage!
November 2016
First Trip Abroad
Our first overseas trip together took us to New Zealand, where Nicole met Brad’s family for the first time. She had to prove herself in a game of paintball, and came out earning bragging rights as player of the day (not without some battle scars to prove it).
June 2017
Moving In Together
We took the next big step and moved into a share house together, figuring out life, love, and laundry together.
June 2018
Our First Place
We finally moved into our little apartment in Richmond by ourselves. Our first proper place together, full of great memories, and more IKEA flat packs than we knew what to do with!
January 2020
Through The Pandemic
We faced the global pandemic side by side, learning that quarantine life was a true test of teamwork (and patience!). Brad also learned how to foil Nicoles' hair.
July 2020
Murphy Joins The Family
Our little family grew with the arrival of our dog, Murphy, who has been a constant source of joy, cuddles, and a little mischief.
March 2022
Life In Spain
We embraced a new adventure, moving to Barcelona, Spain - soaking up the culture (shock!) food, and sunshine. Lasting 4 months before moving on.
August 2022
London Calling
Next stop: London!
Plenty of memories made across the pond, using London as a base to be able to travel to a new country every month, managing to tick off 21 countries in 2 years.
April 2023
Studio Yonda
We followed our passion and opened a tattoo studio in East London - Studio Yonda. A creative dream come true.
July 2024
A New Chapter
After an incredible year, we sold Studio Yonda and got ready for the next chapter of our journey together.
October 2024
Home On The Gold Coast
We made our way back to Australia, settling on the beautiful Gold Coast and embracing life by the beach.
December 2025
Engaged!
A very special milestone.
Brad proposed, and Nicole said YES!
August 2026
Engagement Party
We'll be celebrating this next chapter surrounded by friends and family, raising a toast to all the adventures ahead.
