Our Wedding

First Date (10/5/22): Dino & Harry's (Hoboken, NJ)

Our story began with a beautiful dinner date sharing our life stories over a delicious meal. We enjoyed it so much we continued our first dinner date tradition at the same steakhouse for subsequent anniversaries!

Engagement (12/28/24): EMPIRE STATE BUILDING (NEW YORK, NY)

After 2 wonderful years together, Andrew popped the big question a whopping 102 stories high above the clouds of the Manhattan skyline. We were even lucky enough to have complete strangers capture our special moment for us!

NATIONAL PARK ADVENTURES: JOSHUA TREE (9/28/23) / SHENANDOAH (11/25/24) / ACADIA (5/3/25) / YOSEMITE (8/31/25)

On our first date, we each spoke of our desire to visit and enjoy as many National Parks as possible. Here are a few we toured to date with a goal to visit a new park every year together!

ADVENTURES CONTINUED

One thing we share in common; we are both endless adventure seekers! From as far east as the Hamptons, to as far north as Bar Harbor, to as far west as Balboa Island, to as far south as Cancun, and everywhere in between! We cannot wait to continue our exploration journey together! Life's a beach, find your ocean! ;)
