Introduced through mutual friends, Liam and Hailey’s story truly began during a girls’ trip Hailey took to Florida. Liam offered a few local suggestions, which turned into meeting up for drinks in Tampa, and the connection was immediate. For the first year, their relationship grew through long distance. Hailey was starting a new job and living in Philadelphia while Liam was in Florida. Their days were filled with endless phone calls, weekend flights, and counting down the moments until they could see each other again. Despite the distance, everything felt easy and worth it. By summer 2023, Hailey moved to St. Petersburg, and they finally got to build their life in the same place. In fall 2024, they bought their first home together, and in spring 2025, Liam proposed at Sapphire Shores, a place that quickly became special to them and now sits just steps from their wedding venue. From a chance weekend in Tampa to a life built hand in hand, everything has fallen perfectly into place. They’ve been inseparable ever since.
