Blaser Brown Wedding

Jan 2020:Kramer and Deven met at Stevens Pass at the Employee ski bar after a long day of shreddin the pow.They continued their night in Leavenworth, with live music and jagerbombs.Throughout the next few months, they continued to go on ski dates, hiking dates, fishing dates, and wrapped up their time in the west coast with a gold coast road trip. San Francisco was their favorite place! September 2020:They move all their belongings to Milwaukee, WI. Why? Deven's work. The shock of no mountains and cold winters almost scared them away but the following summer changed things around. November 2020:They adopted Dallas, (the bestest labrador in the whole wide world). With Kramer starting online school, and Deven working from home, training her became their hobby...And throwing a ball for what felt like endless hours. April 2021:Deven and Kramer developed incredible friendships with a lively group of BayViewians, which meant they were officially sucked in to the Milwaukee Ways of life. The choke hold good beer, cheese curds, and custard had on them was too strong. December 2021:They bought a house!! "Perfect for Hosting" was in the listing and perfect for hosting it became. New Years Eve parties, bon-fires, and Halloween parties created so many "I don't remember what happened but I know I had a good time" nights. July 2023:Kramer proposed to Deven in St. Petersburg under the 4th of July fireworks on her parents boat. Deven was so surprised, even though they had talked about marriage and kids since week one. :) It was a magical night! September 2023:Kramer started his first year as a teacher at Riverside Highschool. He received lots of praise for his ability to manage the classroom, and well deserved! 14 year-olds are no joke. November 2023:Before submitting deposits on wedding vendors, Deven found out she was pregnant!! Forget a wedding! It was time to convert the at home office into a beautiful nursery. August 2024:Henry came into their world and brought so much joy. Despite losing sleep, Kramer and Deven have seamlessly adjusted into parenthood and are very proud of what they have accomplished. July 2025:Kramer and Deven will get married, finally completing the step that should have taken place years before...(but who's keeping track?) They are thrilled to celebrate this next step with all their family and friends. Cheers to the next adventures!

She is the fairiest of us all, seeking natures embrace in the rain, sunshine, in a tent in feet of snow.

Q + A

﻿Hope Island Beach Club is on the shores of the Swinomish Reservation and overlooks the Hope, Whidbey and Kiket Islands. The neighborhood surrounding Hope Island Beach Club and Snee Oosh Beach offers Airbnb's and Vrbos if you are wanting to stay nearest to the venue. La Conner is a beautiful tourist town on the east side of the channel, making it a little under a 10 minute drive from the venue. Hotels and Bed and Breakfasts are listed on this travel page. About 25 minutes northwest is Anacortes, which offers both Airbnbs and Hotels. If you have the time, I recommend spending an extra day in the area to explore downtown Anacortes and La Conner! Please refer to your invitation for Allison's contact info and she will help you plan your trip!
