Our Love Story

From a chance meeting to a lifetime together

Sarah

Sarah

The Bride

A lover of literature, morning hikes, and the smell of rain on warm pavement. Sarah designs museum exhibits and believes every good day starts with a pour-over coffee and a view of the mountains.

James

James

The Groom

A chef by trade and a romantic at heart, James proposed during a sunset picnic at their favorite vineyard — with the ring hidden inside a freshly baked croissant. He never does anything without intention.

They met at a friend's dinner party in the spring of 2022 — Sarah was arguing passionately about the best chapter in Anna Karenina, and James walked over just to disagree. Three years, countless adventures, and one perfectly timed question later, they can't imagine a world where they aren't together.
