Our Wedding

Hart and Sarah's story is the kind of love story that feels like it was written in the stars, or maybe just swiped into existence on a screen. Though they grew up just an hour apart in Southern California, it took a move to Utah for them to cross paths. It only took one quick swipe to the right, and just like that, a spark was ignited that would change their lives forever.Their first date was in the iconic beauty of Malibu, CA, where the sun kissed the waves and the air was filled with the scent of salty breezes. It didn’t take long for both of them to realize that this was more than just a chance meeting—it was destiny. The chemistry was undeniable, and they both knew, from the very first moment, that they were meant to be.As the years passed, their bond grew stronger, filled with spontaneous adventures, endless laughs, and two mischievous cats who quickly became the third (and fourth) members of the family. They traveled to new places, created memories, and built a life that was uniquely their own. But through it all, one thing remained constant: their unwavering love for each other.Finally, after years of creating a beautiful life together, they decided to make it official. The beach—where they'd shared countless sunsets, walked barefoot in the sand, and whispered sweet nothings—was the perfect place to say “I do.” A place that had always felt like home to them, where the waves would crash in celebration as they began this next chapter of their lives as husband and wife.This love story is one for the books—filled with fate, adventure, and two souls who were always meant to find each other, even if it took a little swipe and a little extra travel time. The beach isn’t just their favorite place; it's a symbol of how beautifully their lives have come together, like two waves meeting in perfect harmony.
