It all started in a class called "Choreographing Race & Gender" with Esther. We danced together, had a reallly long bike ride that turned into a show and a slice and their first kiss. Haylee convinced Austin to join a year long process and perform in her senior thesis "Products of a Defective System" and they began their journey of Art & Love.
We quickly folded into each other's families! From Ocean City beach trips, summer camping trips and family reunions - it wasn't long before they had a combined Thanksgiving and joint Christmas excursions. It felt natural <3
We celebrated the love of our friends and families over the years...
We enjoyed 7 amazing years together in Philly.
We even made a show together!
We took our first trip together in 2021 to New Orleans and had a BLAST!
We got engaged on a trip to Ocean City in 2022! Austin surprised Haylee by proposing on a jet ski in the middle of the bay. He told no one and tied the ring to his swim trunks :0
That summer we continued our travels back to our favorite place (New Orleans) stopping in Kentucky, Nashville and briefly breaking down in West Virginia...they are the nicest people in case you were curious...
After tearful goodbyes, Austin and Haylee said goodbye to Philly...
We packed up our life and the best pup, Ramona, and moved to Atlanta in July 2023!
We have been nesting in our new apartment.
We have been enjoying our time together in Atlanta and can't wait to explore more of what life has to offer us! This is just the beginning!
