Stephanie & Emanuel

July 7, 2024 • Denver, CO

It all started with a Super Like...

That's right, we met the old fashioned way - online! Tinder, to be more specific. It was a random March evening when Steph came across a profile that didn't contain a picture of a man holding a fish and had a descriptive bio (loves Game of Thrones, does yoga with Adrienne & is self proclaimed "quirky") that right swipe was a SUPER LIKE waiting to go off.


After chatting for a minute and a few rescheduled first dates - Steph and Eman met at a coffee bar in Providence, RI and quickly began to realize they did super like each other.

But super liking each other came with a few challenges, namely: long distance dating. Emanuel moved to Ann Arbor to pursue his masters at U of M (GO BLUE) while Steph stayed in Providence to continue working with the theater and finding her next adventure.

They kept things exciting and visited each other in their cities frequently - going on fun dates, trying new things together and being big time goofy.

Not even a pandemic could stop Steph & Emanuel's quest for adventure and to be together. Emanuel was offered a summer internship in Denver and Steph could not resist joining for the summer. Luckily, Colorado offered loads of outdoor activities (namely hikes) to keep us busy. Pictured here in Rocky Mountain National Park. *YES - Emanuel DOES tend to wear ridiculous footwear while hiking: Tevas & Converse are his signature.
