Yes, we met at a retirement community but hey, if that's what it took we're here for it. Taylor works as a marketing counselor at The Pines and Ryan is contracted as an IT systems admin for The Pines. We both started at about the same time and for years passed each other in the hallways. One day, Taylor needed "help" with her printer so she stopped Ryan and asked if he could stop by her office to assist. Long story short, there was instant chemistry... and it was billable.

We chose to have an intimate wedding on Bald Head Island for a few reasons. Taylor has been coming to Bald Head Island with her family for 20+ years and it is easily her favorite place in the world. In August of 2025, Ryan joined the family vacation to the island for the first time and quickly fell in love with the uniqueness of the island. In addition to our love for the island, this is where Ryan proposed. We are so excited to share this beautiful, adventure packed destination with you!
