It was a private ceremony—something small and deeply personal. We exchanged vows with a few close family members present and focused the day on what truly mattered: our commitment to each other. Sadly, due to some last-minute weather chaos in the Northeast, Sierra’s family wasn’t able to make the trip. But thanks to some quick thinking (and a solid WiFi connection), they were able to join virtually, which meant so much to both of us. You won’t see them in the photos below, and while that’s bittersweet, we’re so grateful they were still able to be part of the moment in their own way.For months, we imagined a big celebration—everyone we love in one place, out in a wooded place somewhere, music and dancing— the whole thing. We even started collecting mailing addresses, thinking we’d be sending out save-the-dates for a wedding celebration weekend. But as we moved through the planning process, we kept coming back to the desire for something simpler as the excitement gave way to the complicated and expensive reality of planning a wedding celebration in 2025— we yearned for something that wouldn’t turn into an event that felt more about logistics than love, or create stress around what was meant to be a celebration.And with that, we decided that instead of planning one big gathering, we would honor and celebrate this exciting new chapter of our lives together over time—through visits, catch-ups, meals, and moments that feel more personal and meaningful with those we love. That’s how we want to celebrate: in real life, in ways that don’t carry the expectations and chaos for everyone involved, as is often the case with large wedding celebrations.So here we are! Following up, because even though we changed course, we still wanted a way to connect with you—to let you know we got married, and to share the captured memories from recent months that means so much to us. That’s what this little corner of the internet is for: a place to look through some of our favorite photos from the journey so far and, for those who have asked, a space to explore gift options that can offer practical support as we continue building our life together.So thank you—for being part of our lives, for loving and supporting us in all the ways that helped shape who we are. We’re so glad you’re here.Warmly,

A few folks have already asked us about a registry for gifts; and while we truly do not expect anything— we know that for some it is an important way to express your love and support. We’ve included a link to a small registry of practical and long-term use items for our family, for those who feel inclined.

On January 26, 2025, we got married.

We’ve put together a collection of photos, from our proposal to our engagement shoot, to the day we said “I do.” We hope you enjoy these glimpses into the moments that means so much to us, and the memories that became the start of this new thing we’re building together.

If you’re here, it probably means you got our little announcement in the mail—thanks for scanning the QR code and taking a moment to share in this with us.
