We are still in shock by how everything came together for us last month. ❤️ Hurricane Helene’s devastation of Asheville and Western North Carolina almost forced us to cancel our wedding day, BUT we pulled off a once-in-a-lifetime celebration of our love and commitment.

From changing venues, cities, and vendors, to figuring it all out last-minute—none of this would have been possible without the support of so many amazing people. I’m beyond grateful for our friends and family who traveled, adapted, and showed up to celebrate with us, no matter the obstacles. We will remain forever grateful 🥹 And to everyone who helped make this day possible—you truly made our dream come true. 🥂💞

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you and

So much history can be found, forgotten in graveyards. 🪦

Headed back to the east coast! The desert has a special place in my heart, but I definitely miss the lush greens of the south east. 🌱

I definitely didn’t have ‘disc golf with Bill Nye’ on my 2024 Bingo card, but it sure was a cool experience and made coming to LA for 6 months worth it!

Thank you so much for being an inspiration to both of us and generations to come. You shine like a beacon of light for us scientists out in the cold, dark adult world. 🥼

It was a pleasure to throw some plastic with you, and if you ever need a fellow science guy to fill in for another round let me know and I’ll be there! 🥏

The last night on our ~6 week cross country trip was spent at and it could not have been better. This community embodied everything we were looking for and hoped to find on the road. Such an inclusive and welcoming group for everyone. We will DEFINITELY be back!!!

UPDATE! I’m moving out to Long Beach, California for 6 months and have been road tripping in a A frame pop up camper. It’s been nothing short of amazing so far. I have SO MANY photos to go through but here’s a quick shot from our current spot in New Mexico!
It’s been a WHILE since I’ve been out under the stars with my camera, but alas even with the dark skies out west it’s still not Milkyway season. I guess star trails will have to do! 💫
