Technically, they met at an Irish Pub, Vaughns, down in Hartford, CT. Lauren was starting grad school and Matt was working in Finance. They started "dating" officially, and had their first trip to California, where they first professed their love for one another. After a few more trips around the world, Matt was able to move his job out to California, which was the perfect segway for him to focus on his film career. They packed up their cars and drove West with two of their best friends. They currently live in Santa Monica, CA. Enjoying the West Coast vibes, traveling to national parks, and soaking up the sunshine. They are really loving their new Yacht Club, where they are learning to play paddle tennis (getting schooled by the elders) and can rent boats to sail. This year they got a taste of what it's like to travel and work together on documentaries, and thoroughly enjoyed it. Making money, doing what you love, traveling, and spending time with your lover, what's not to love? Italy holds a special place in their hearts and they hope to share that love with all of you.
