December 5, 2020: Right after the proposal in Hermosa Beach, CA over a gorgeous sunrise!💍

Drove up Hwy 1 to Malibu, CA for the afternoon to celebrate after the proposal

California sunset to end an amazing day celebrating our engagement

Happy we managed to successfully make the drive to Asheville for our engagement pictures during an extreme gas shortage…

Engagement pictures in Asheville, NC

We had a little fun with our engagement photo shoot 😉

Let’s rewind back to the beginning of our relationship… the early days with baby Stevie!

Sunset boat ride on Lake Norman, NC

A little day drinking fun around uptown and enjoying gorgeous weather at Romare Bearden Park

JP’s first time to Asheville with me, we managed to squeeze a quick hike in even though a hurricane came through town

October 2018: we won our first sand volleyball doubles tournament together at VBGB!! (which is where we actually met 4 months earlier)

Our tournament cash prize💰🏐💪🏼

Halloween 2018: American Pharoah and jockey Victor Espinoza

Our first Christmas together

You can always find us on the dance floor or lighting up a photo booth

Stef’s first time to vineyards. Chandon winery in Napa Valley

We both love sports, and managed to get court side seats one time!

We both love games, and may get a little competitive from time to time (guess which one is more competitive 🧑🏻‍🦱)

Bark in the Park. Knights baseball game in uptown Charlotte

First time attending an AVP tournament! It was a blast, and hopefully will become an annual tradition. We went to Manhattan Beach, CA for a long weekend to celebrate Stef’s 30th birthday

Watching the pros in awe

Of course we caught a few good California sunsets while we were there

We dress up pretty nice from time to time

December 2019: Stef’s first Titans tailgate. This was just before we officially moved to Nashville!

January 3, 2020: we officially moved to Nashville, TN together!! This was originally our rental home.. and would become our first home together when we bought it a year later🏡

Radnor Lake. Exploring some trails around Nashville

We are the definition of fashion, and take it very seriously, obviously

Our first time to Pensacola Beach, FL! Found a great little house with a little private beach, and the best seafood market. JP’s 30th birthday trip

2020: COVID, things obviously got weird, enough said

Canoe trip down the Harpeth River

Nashville might be a little land locked, but we always make time for trips to the beach

We spend a lot of time at Percy Priest Lake in nashville to stay cool in the summer heat. Stef has a paddle board and would pull JP around in his little inner tube. Cooler always packed, of course

Another Cali trip, with some insane fog on the beach. No sunsets this time unfortunately

Sun-kissed cheeks and Cali beach hair. One of our favorite looks

We obviously love to dress up. Halloween 2021. S’mores family. Stevie our little Hersey bar wasn’t feeling pictures

Back to Pensacola Beach, FL! Our favorite little beach house comes with bikes and kayaks and we always make good use of them😎

Mount Mitchell Peak, Asheville, NC

Leaf season in Asheville - great spot for our 2020 Christmas card picture

December 5, 2020: Newly engaged, watching a gorgeous Cali sunset together 💕

Never too serious🤪

Christmas 2020

NYE 2020. Stevie dressed up for the occasion too

January 25, 2021: We closed on our first house together!!

February 2021: Bozeman, MT. Ski and snowboard at Big Sky. Brutally cold weather that week

Temps down to -26° and the warmest was -6° The fact that Stef survived this weather AND has a smile on just proves her love and dedication to her fiancé

Came back from Bozeman to a snow storm in Nashville! Let the snow play continue

COVID brought challenges, but overall we’ve been very fortunate! Started COVID testing in the Nashville entertainment industry (mostly country music), interesting working conditions sometimes lol

This was by far our toughest testing gig. We did all the COVID testing for the ACM (Academy of Country Music) Award show in 2021 over two grueling weeks This was right after we wrapped.

Punta Cana, Dominican Republic April 2021: our first international trip together! And a much needed vacation after the ACMs

One of many Nashville FC soccer games we went to!

Some more engagement picture fun. A little behind the scenes shot taken by our maid of honor, Jackie📸

Stayed active (and famous lol) during COVID. A run club we do some Wednesday’s in our neighborhood is called East Nasty. This was the first club run back after COVID and somehow we made the news😂

Nashville Predators v Carolina Hurricanes playoff game!

Hiking in Asheville, NC over MDW 2021

We both had a nasty stomach virus for our 2021 beach week, but still managed to get out and enjoy some sunsets!

Lake Michigan for July 4, 2021🇺🇸😎

Continuing our volleyball champion status in Nashville 🏆🏐🥇

Nashville FC game

JP finally got a kayak so doesn’t have to be tugged along by Stef on the paddle board✌🏼

Back to Manhattan Beach, CA for another AVP tournament and Stef’s 32nd birthday celebration!

Cali sunsets never get old 🥰

August 2021: Engagement party thrown by Pat and Carole (JP’s parents)

There were games, of course

Hiking in Blue Ridge, GA

One last boat day in 2021 before the cold set in

You can find us by the beer and snacks, always

We love tacos. Duh. Our neighbors even threw us a wonderful Tacos and Brews before I Do’s engagement party in Nashville

Wrapped up the October 2021 wedding marathon with the wedding of Jackie (our matron of honor) and Devan (our groomsman)

One of many house projects we completed in 2021. This was our DIY closet renovation 💪🏼🛠🔩

Another reason to dress up! A Ted Lasso themed birthday party for our neighbor. JP was Ted, and Stef was Rebecca. If you haven’t watched the show, do it!

Our favorite brewery in Nashville, Monday Night Brewery. A peak into how most pictures actually end up of us 3… Stevie wasn’t feeling photographic that day😂

Managed to get Stevie looking at the camera, a near impossible task

Had some fun with Christmas cards this year🎄❤️🐾

Ok, a lot of fun

Another costume party (Christmas carol theme)! Stef’s had some wardrobe issues for her Silver Bells costume😬, but JP nailed the Little Drummer Boy costume

Christmas 2021
