We first met through mutual friends years ago and had no idea life would eventually bring us together! After a beach trip to Tybee Island with some of our friends, something clicked. We had a connection that felt natural and easy from the start.

Not long after our trip, we had our first official date: a picnic at Edgewater Park, followed by a party at a friend's place that we went to together. From that day on, we were inseparable!

That first summer together was full of fun and sunshine. We spent many days out on Mason's boat and many afternoons at Edgewater Beach. We started golfing together, which quickly became one of our favorite things to do, and Mason was my plus-one to my cousin Aly's wedding! When we weren't out on the water or the golf course, we were usually walking Kona and Stella all around downtown. They became best friends almost instantly!

We spent my 21st birthday together with friends, and as a gift for my birthday and graduation, my parents took us to Disney! We celebrated our first anniversary on June 5, 2023, so our wedding will be a day after our fourth dating anniversary! We also started going to more Guardians games together, which became another favorite activity of ours.

In November 2023, we took a trip to Bryson City, North Carolina, with our dogs for Mason's birthday! We went on hikes and explored the area while taking in the beautiful mountain views. On Mason's birthday, we hiked to a beautiful lake, and that's where Mason proposed! We drove over to Gatlinburg, Tennessee, for the day to celebrate!

The next part of our little story is the time between our engagement and our engagement shoot. From ski days and concerts to Disney at Christmas and cheering on our Cleveland teams, we made the most of every season. We spent countless nights with our friends, having bonfires or going to local restaurants and bars. We also got to celebrate Luke and Lauren's wedding!

We chose to have our engagement shoot downtown, because it is where our story started! Here are some of our favorite pictures!

In June, we went to Washington for Emily and Riley's wedding! We spent the trip exploring the beaches of Olympic National Park, running into the freezing Pacific, and celebrating the newlyweds! We also got to spend some time in Seattle checking out the city.

In the fall of 2025, we took the ultimate road trip, helping Emily and Riley move from Georgia all the way to Montana! We made the most of it, with stops in Stillwater, Colorado Springs, Denver, Jackson Hole, the Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, and Coeur D'Alene. Every stop had its own little adventure. From college football bar-hopping and a concert at Red Rocks to mountain views and wildlife sightings, it was such a fun, once-in-a-lifetime trip full of memories.
