We're getting married!

Our story began thanks to our dear friend Lana, who brought us into each other’s lives at just the right time. One introduction turned into conversations, laughter, and eventually a love we knew was something special.

Derek proposed in Napa Valley, in a place that felt just as timeless and special as the moment itself—Inglenook Winery. What was thought to be a beautiful day surrounded by vineyards and history, turned into one of the most meaningful days of our lives. When the moment finally came, Derek asked me to spend forever with him—and I said yes, without hesitation. It was intimate, emotional, and filled with so much love that time seemed to stand still. Adding to the magic, our amazing friend Lana was there to capture it all. What I thought was just another shared memory became a beautiful moment we’ll treasure forever, thanks to her being behind the camera at exactly the right time. From the breathtaking location to the people who made it even more special, the day was everything we could have hoped for and more.

We balance each other in ways we never expected but are endlessly grateful for. We bring different strengths into our relationship, and together those differences have created something strong, steady, and full of love. We’ve learned how to listen, how to be patient, and how to show up for each other even on the hardest days. Through laughter, quiet moments, and everything in between, we continue to choose each other and build a life rooted in love and partnership.
