Our Story

April 2017. This is our first picture together! After being paired as dance partners for an undergrad event, months later, Pat asked Casey to a date party and then to his fraternity's away weekend.

September 2017. One of our first "real" dates was at the Oriole's games in 2017 - Casey thought Pat was going to ask her to be his girlfriend this night, but he waited another 2 weeks after this.

March 2018. In early 2018, Pat and Casey went on the same Spring Break cruise with their respective friend groups. This was the first time we said "I love you" to each other.

May 2018. Casey and Pat both graduated Towson in May 2018 - Pat with a bachelors in Sociology & Anthropology, and Casey in Communication Sciences & Disorders.

April 2019. From 2018-2020, Casey & Pat were long distance while Casey moved to grad school in NY. We spent weekends exploring NYC and trying all the pizza spots (get our matching tattoo reference?)

July 2020. Pat completed his Masters in March, and Casey in May. In late 2020, Casey and Pat lived at his parents house for a few months while Casey and Pat both started their full time jobs.

October 2021. We first started dating in October 2017 while apple-picking, and each year we now make a point to pick apples to celebrate our anniversary.

April 2022. After living in an apartment for about a year, we bought our first home together in Pasadena.

June 2023. Pat strategically planned for a photographer to capture our engagement at Love Point Winery.

Casey said "yes, oh my god wait really? Yes!"

The morning of the proposal, Pat's car broke down at the gas station on the way there. We had to divert back home to switch to Casey's car before heading to Love Point Winery.

Pat found the photographer on his own, and got lucky that we both loved her. Cassidy has now photographed a formal engagement shoot for us and will be photographing our wedding!
