This photo feels very "us"- relaxing while I read. I love this photo from our engagement session.

We got to see The Chainsmokers while in Las Vegas for Amanda's work. Brian elected not to partake in the face jewels.

Fremont Street in Vegas!

No matter where we go or what we're, we have fun together and laugh- even if it's just running errands or sitting in traffic.

Valentine's Day date 2025 Bowling. Brian kicked Amanda's butt in every game, but by the end of the 2 hours, Amanda was at least closing the distance.

We took a Helicopter transfer from the main airport to the smaller airport closer to our hotel when we went to St. Lucia in April 2025. It was so fun!

We couldn't get a photo before we got on the Helicopter but we were able to get one at the end. It was a great way to kick off our vacation!

Our first night in St. Lucia! Amanda loves the sushi restaurant and had to go there for appetizers for dinner.

Almost every morning in St Lucia we enjoyed breakfast sitting outside with a view of the beach. Morning walks on the beach and then a yummy breakfast was a great start to our days.

This was in St Lucia before our dinner reservation relaxing on a bench enjoying the views. Little did Amanda know but in a few hours Brian would have his surprise proposal!

Brian was a good sport in St Lucia when Amanda wanted to take photos before dinner. The sunset was gorgeous every night.

In St Lucia we hiked Pigeon Island. Brian wasn't looking forward to physical exercise while on vacation but the views up top were well worth it!

Pigeon Island was home to Fort Rodney and it was cool to see the old canons.

Amanda's 33rd birthday dinner at YROC. This morning, she went wedding dress shopping with her mom and found the perfect dress!

Enjoying our last night in St. Lucia. It was such a special trip!

The sunsets and views were unlike anything we've seen. St. Lucia was our first solo out of the country trip.

Our photos could never capture the true beauty of these sunsets. This was right before dinner where we had the BEST crabcakes we've both EVER had. We want to go back just for the crab cakes.

The amount of photos we have from this St Lucia trip is crazy, but that's how much we loved it.

Brian surprised Amanda with dessert and a proposal all captured by the photographers at the resort.

Amanda thought the photographers were just posing them for an odd photo. Yet when they said turn around the last thing she expected was Brian on one knee.

The resort had a "silent disco" night this night. We didn't participate in the silent dancing but we really enjoyed people watching with some other couples we met on the trip.

Happy tears after saying "yes!" This was April 9, 2025. Little did we know when touring venues the date we would pick would be 1 year and 1 day later- April 10, 2026.

This was our first night in St. Lucia on our way to our dinner reservation.

Little did Amanda know but that afternoon Brian was finalizing all the details for this night. He had them reserve this end of the pier and even had them bring a plate of desserts.

Brian flagged down the resort photographers to capture him in his bathing suit pose! We rented a cabana this day and boy was that amazing!

Amanda thought the photographers were just posing them for an odd photo. Yet when they said turn around the last thing she expected was Brian on one knee.

Amanda had no idea they blocked off the end of the pier and just thought no one was coming out there to sit. We enjoyed the beautiful views with all the lights on the side of the hills.

After our proposal the photographer and videographer had us take some photos on the pier and then made a video montage at different points along the resort.

Throughout the trip the photographers kept asking if we wanted a photo. This night Amanda was actually going to give Brian a break and said "no" when they asked but Brian said "yes."

You would've thought that after a surprise tray of desserts being brought to the end of the pier and Brian saying yes to photos, Amanda would've caught on to the proposal. Brian did great!
