It’s about time!!!!
It will be almost 9 years and one month to the day that we met at the beloved Camp Mather. We fell in love exploring the Sierra Nevada, and as we fell in love with each other we fell even more in love with the Eastern Sierra. We spent many days and nights driving up and down the 395 before eventually moving to Bishop and finally Reno solidifying that this slice of the world is our absolute favorite. Please join us to celebrate 9 years of love as we commit to a lifetime of it in a place so special to us, and hopefully it will become special to you too.

While our venue asks amplified music be turned down at 10 PM we have access to the venue until the owner is over it (likely around 11:30/12). If we want to keep the celebration going, we can head to the bar in town afterwards!
Question
Where are you registered?
Answer
Your presence at our wedding is the greatest gift, and we are so stoked to have you celebrate with us. We are lucky that we have everything that our home needs, but if you would like to honor us with a gift we would deeply appreciate contributions to our honeymoon or first home fund. Your generosity will help make reaching both goals unforgettable.
