Santa Barbara has always held a special place in our hearts, and it's where our love story began in 2016. Back then, fate (or maybe the valet podium?) brought us together at the Coral Casino in Montecito. Katelyn, the friendly face at the front desk, and Quinn, the charming valet, struck up a wonderful friendship.

For a couple of years, we shared laughs, stories, and dreams. Then, adventure called Quinn to Australia as he pursued his Bachelors in Interactive Media and Design. Nine months later, Katelyn took to take a leap of faith and joined him down under.

It did take long before our friendship blossomed into a true love story. We explored the wonders of the country, from the bustling streets of Singapore to the serene beaches of Bali. Every shared experience strengthened our relationship.

However, life had other plans. Covid led us back to California, but the silver lining was finding ourselves back in Santa Barbara, Quinn's hometown - the place where it all began. We landed a cozy spot right on State Street, turning it into our haven. Quinn found his dream job at Deckers doing Video Production, solidifying our roots in Santa Barbara.

Our little family grew even more when we welcomed Thomas, our miniature longhaired dachshund, into our lives. Fun fact: the name "Thomas" was actually picked out by Quinn years prior, while we were still in Australia, destined for a future weenie dog!

Then, in July 2023, at the beautiful Santa Barbara Rose Gardens, our favorite place, Quinn popped the question!

Today, we spend our weekends adventuring – camping, exploring Santa Barbara on our e-bikes, indulging in wine tastings, staying active at Gold Gym – all with our little fur baby, Thomas by our side. We love the sunshine, the stunning scenery, and the simple joys of life, together.

This love story, born in Santa Barbara, has come full circle. We can't wait to celebrate this next chapter with all of you!
