We met on our first day of college freshman year in Los Angeles. Sean needed a model for a photoshoot and after a full day on set together, we were fast friends. Sean moved to Santa Barbara in 2014 and Emily would take the train on weekends to visit him. We fell in love over tacos in the Funk Zone, wine tasting in Santa Ynez, weekends hiking Big Sur, and sunset walks on Butterfly Beach.

Our wedding journey began at Beaver Lake with a surprise engagement on June 19th, 2021. Being from opposite coasts, we opted for a more unconventional approach to our nuptials. Santa Barbara holds a special place in our hearts. It's where we first began dating and travel back to every year to visit friends and eat our way through Southern California. We tied the knot this May with an intimate ceremony surrounded by our immediate families overlooking the American Riviera. It was a perfect week full of our favorite people in our favorite place.

Beaver Lake is another cherished place. Sean grew up on the lake fishing, giving tennis lessons, scooping ice cream at the General Store, and making lifelong friends. Several years ago, Emily was introduced to the lake and we have been standing side by side with fishing poles in hand ever since. Over the last decade, we have had the opportunity to call several places home and meet so many wonderful people. We are thrilled to be celebrating the start of our marriage with each and every one of you in a place that we consider a forever home!
