Our 🏔️ c r e w

These are our people. The ones who have been there from the beginning. Some have known us since childhood, some for most of our adult lives, but all of them are the most solid people we could ever ask for.

We didn’t do a traditional wedding party. We wanted our closest friends in the moment with everyone else — actually part of the ceremony and the whole day. We still did all the things though: getting ready together, lots of cheers-ing, charcuterie (obviously), and just hanging out and enjoying the day together.

Our people have watched us grow as individuals and as a couple. My girls know me better than anyone, Quinn’s homies know him better than anyone, and we are just so damn lucky.

We were intentional about giving some of our people a special place in the ceremony. The besties who introduced us were a huge part of our day. Their daughter was my junior bridesmaid, Mauri grew my bouquet, Amos married us, and even my dress belt came from Alexis’s wedding. Wearing it as I walked down the aisle was such a special little piece of her day woven into mine. All those pieces coming together was such a full-circle moment.

There are people you meet throughout your life, and then there are the people who become family through friendship. We don’t have to agree on everything, but we’ll never let our differences change the love we have for each other.

And it wasn’t just our besties. Looking around and seeing all the people we love in one place was one of the most emotional feelings. Pure love and warmth. We’ve even had people tell us our wedding brought everyone closer, including people who had never met before. Honestly, that might be one of the biggest compliments we could get.

Because these are the people we chose. And let me tell you, the vibes were ON POINT.

Thank you for loving us, traveling from all over Alaska and the US, and being such a huge part of our story. I’d relive that day over and over again, even if it was just to hang out with everyone.

The best day of our lives. Our people, all together, in our beautiful home of Alaska. 🏔️

Our 🤍 f a m i l y

There is something really special about officially joining a family, but I think it’s even more special when you’ve felt like family all along.

We felt ALL the feels having our family with us from Virginia, Michigan, Minnesota, and of course, Alaska. Having so many different pieces of our lives come together in one place meant more to us than we could ever put into words.

Family, to some, is simply who you’re related to by blood, or who you’re connected to because of a legal piece of paper. But I personally don’t believe that’s what truly defines a family.

Family is gaining another home — not necessarily a physical place, but people who become your people. It’s inheriting traditions, stories, inside jokes, and memories. It’s having people who love you for who you are, not just because you married someone they love. It’s your family growing, your circle getting bigger, and getting to build something new together.

Quinn’s family and my family have always welcomed each other with open arms. There was never any questioning of us, never any hesitation, just love, support, and encouragement from the very beginning. We don’t just have our families — we have our tribe.

There were family members who couldn’t be with us on our day, and we felt their absence, but we know if they could have been there, they would have been. And that kind of love means everything.

I’ve been a Johnson my whole entire life, and I’ll forever carry those roots with me. My dad has been there through every chapter of my life, so having him be the one to walk me down the aisle and give me away to Quinn meant more than I can explain. One family walking me toward another, while knowing I’ll always be a part of the family I came from, too. There was a LOT of emotion in that moment.

And now, I’m beyond happy, proud, and a little emotional to officially say I’m a Bennett.

So thank you, family. Thank you for raising us, loving us, supporting us, and shaping us into the people we became — so that somewhere along the way, we could find each other 🤍

And in honor of my dad giving me away, I figured I’d include the song I walked down the aisle to

8.6.2026 🫶 🥹

Our day was pure ✨ m a g i c ✨

Getting engaged on 10.7.2025 and having our venue and DREAM team of vendors dialed in by November- made our day seamless. It’s entirely hard to put into words on a single post the amount of love and gratitude we felt every single second on our wedding day.
Quinn & I didn’t have a dream wedding originally, but we built this day together and damn.. it was something else watching it unfold, having the best damn crew of friends and family surrounding us, and soaking every single detail in.

To our friends & family:
Your love and support from the start of our relationship to now is something we will never take for granted. Each and every one of you have shown us what real friendships are. You have all welcomed us and been there for us without question. Our crew will always be top notch and brag worthy till the end of time 💯 % LOVE YOU ALL and thank you for being with us

To our vendors:
Wow. Just wow. There truly aren’t enough words we can write to even come close to just how mind blown we are with not only answering every single question, but executing and being the best dream team on this planet (there is no way anyone can top this)
So thank you for the hype, the love, and doing OUTSTANDING work to make our dream a reality we didn’t even knew could exist! Forever grateful 💖🎊

My bestie, Mauri, has been growing my bridal bouquet 🥹💖
Not only will I be walking down the aisle with flowers grown by Mauri, but her husband will be marrying Quinn and I. It’s a full circle moment because they connected us starting in late 2020 🫶

I’m beyond grateful 💗

My bachelorette in Sonoma, CA 💗🍷

I keep trying to write this caption and nothing feels big enough for how much this weekend meant to me.

What started as a bachelorette somehow turned into so much more. For the first time ever, 7 of us girls were under one roof for 3 nights and 4 days. We came from Virginia, Washington, California, and Alaska with completely different lives, schedules, and responsibilities, and somehow left feeling even closer than when we arrived.

The older I get, the more I realize how rare that is.

These women have been there through every version of me. They’ve celebrated the highs, carried me through the lows, laughed until we cried, and helped shape me into the person I am today. They’re not just my best friends- they’re family.

I genuinely don’t know what I did to deserve a group of women this incredible. The amount of love, support, and joy I felt this weekend is something I’ll carry with me forever. My heart has never felt so full.

And while this weekend was technically about celebrating a wedding, I walked away feeling so grateful for the people who got me here. I truly believe these girls helped make me into the woman who was able to find the man of her dreams.

Bold statement, but this was one of the best weekends of my life (Quinn, you’re still #1 😂). Not because of the wineries or the photos or the itinerary—but because of the people.

Love my girls. Love this life.

Wedding is next, and we both have the best damn crew.

Mr. & Mrs. Bennett, here we come. 🤍💍 by @maeveybean

✈️ Washington wine country 🍷

Incentive work trip for 3 nights 💫
Stayed at Canyon Vineyard Ranch in Prosser then bounced around to Walla Walla ☀️, Red Mountain🏔️, Granger 🦕 , Kennewick before departing out of Pasco.

Every time I’ve traveled to Washington- I leave wanting to come back. Very grateful to have won this trip again and to check out even more pockets that WA has to offer! Until next time ☀️❤️🫶💗

Happy 8️⃣ th birthday to Potter 🫶🎉
You are the goofiest and have a way of entertaining anyone who is around you. In 2025 Potter camped with us to 10 places and did many roadtrips including a 1500 mile one! Looking back on the last 8 years with Potter- I reflect on the love I’ve felt every single day unconditionally.

Here’s to many more years with our dude!

So excited to share our engagement photos! ✨ We took them just six days after getting engaged, back in my hometown of Richmond during our big trip. Our close friend Sean shot them, and my best friend Kristen (aka Sean’s fiancée) was there hyping us up the whole time.

We’re so grateful for these two — and for the sweetest memories they helped us make. 🤍

Still floating! 💍📸
