June 2021

After the trip, life went back to normal—Kat returned to New York City, while Zak went back to San Diego. We stayed in touch with a conversations here and there, meeting up when we happened to be in the same city, and followed each other’s lives on Instagram. But no matter how much time passed, that trip stayed in the back of our minds.

Then, in June 2021, Kat made the move back to San Diego. The second we were in the same city again, it was like no time had passed. We picked up right where we left off, and from that point on, there was no looking back—just a lot of adventures, questionable dance moves, and a mutual understanding that we were stuck with each other (in the best way possible).

Our Adventures Together

Since reuniting, we've explored the world together. We've explored the stunning landscapes of Iceland, camped under the stars on numerous camping trips, and soaked in the tropical beauty of Bali. We've wandered through the streets of Guatemala and embraced the culture (and the wine) of Spain Our adventures have also taken us to the Dominican Republic and beaches of Cancun. We've hit the slopes on snowboarding trips to Park City, danced the night away at Coachella, and found serenity in Big Sur.

June 2024 - Our Engagement

After an unforgettable trip to Spain, Zak was ready to pop the question. He had a plan. A solid, well-thought-out plan. But life had other ideas. First, Kat got COVID. Then a microneedling treatment turned her face into a red, blotchy mess. And just when things couldn’t get more complicated, the photographer Zak had lined up was out of town.

But nothing was going to stop him. Finally, on June 29, 2024, under the sunset on the cliffs outside our favorite restaurant in La Jolla, Zak asked Kat to spend forever with him. There was laughter, maybe a few happy tears, and the realization that no matter how chaotic life gets, it’s a lot more fun when we’re in it together.

We’re so excited to celebrate our love story with you!
