Yosemite became more than a picturesque escape; it became the symbol of their shared journey. When the time came to celebrate their union, the couple knew there was no better place than the heart of Yosemite. Entrusting their special day to an adventure photographer, they sought to capture the scale and splendor of the park while standing amidst its grandeur.

The resulting photos beautifully reflected not only the natural wonder that surrounded them but also the deep love Doreese and Clay share. Having exchanged vows in October 2021, the couple now resides in Olympia, WA, where their elopement became a cherished moment shared with three special witnesses, sealing their love story among the towering pines and cascading waterfalls of Yosemite.

Their relationship, rooted in shared adventures and cherished moments, reached new heights every Thanksgiving as they found themselves cozied up by a fireplace overlooking the Merced River in Yosemite National Park, an annual tradition they began...

Love blossomed on the vibrant campus of @smudallas in Dallas, TX for Raina & Daniel, two ambitious souls pursuing their undergraduate degrees.

Their dating journey began when both were working in the athletic department for the football team — Daniel was intrigued by Raina’s beauty, smarts and knowledge of sports. She was the complete package. Raina was equally impressed, and the two became an item.

Come time to propose, Brandon waited until Christmas Eve to propose to his forever date, Khalia. Back when each was in college, their first date was at the Skyview Ferris Wheel in the city.

Brandon sought to recreate that moment as he whisked Khalia off to the Ferris wheel but was sure to have close friends waiting nearby to document the moment and celebrate with them afterwards. It was magical and reminiscent. Khalia immediately said yes!

Spelhouse couple, Khalia & Brandon, met at their alma maters ten years ago. Brandon made his intentions known by flirting with Khalia, which led to dating and in 2013, it was time for Brandon to lock it up.

He asked Khalia to be his girlfriend, and for these college sweethearts, that was it. Deep down each knew they had found the person they were meant to marry eventually!

At a traditional fall wedding, Tori & Ryan celebrated their love at their wedding, attended by 200 cherished guests. Tori was escorted down the aisle by her loving father and the couple chose to have a full Catholic mass ceremony at the exquisite and historic church that served cathedral vibes.

Later for the reception, Ryan made sure to bring out his Nikes so he could fully enjoy all of the dancing that kept everyone up late into the night. The two danced the night away, celebrating their nuptials with their loved ones.
