A love story that starts with a 6th grade girl and an 8th grade boy who had no idea she existed.
Fast forward to March 2022 where that same girl saw that boy come across her phone screen on a dating app.

Our first photo together at a MN Twins Game. We were brand new to our time dating, but were already spending a lot of time together. On a cold spring day, we found ourselves in the DELTA 360 suite eating chicken fingers and watching sports (which truth be told, neither of us really like)

We took a trip to New England to see where Courtney went to college. It was a wonderful trip filled with many activities such as hiking Franconia Ridge, driving up Mount Washington, spending time at the Portland Head Light, and seeing friends in Boston.

Just two kids who fell in love. We knew we wanted a home to grow into, space for our dogs to run, and walls to fill with love. We found that in East Bethel, MN - a year later we are still finding new ways to decorate and keep the yard alive.

If you've learned anything throughout this journey it is that we both love adventure. When a Daniels Family vacation landed us in Las Vegas we immediately searched for a way to hike the infamous Angel's Landing at Zion National Park. Ask us about our hour car detour, or how we hiked 2.5 miles in the wrong direction.

We got engaged in Washington at Washington State Park. It was the perfect WA day, the sun was shining, we had just had lunch at arguably the best sandwich shop in the world, spent the entire day outside, and had dinner plans with great friends.

Engagement Photos in Mount Rainer National Park. Jacob is one thoughtful guy, he had messaged WA photographers before our trip planning a photoshoot. Amazon comes in handy when you're on vacation, get engaged, and need a white dress overnight.

It turns out the challenge of Angel's Landing was not enough for the year. We were lucky enough to climb Half Dome in Yosemite National Park along with Jacob's twin Christian, his wife Victoria, and her dad Jim. It is much steeper than any photo could depict.
