Hi we are Sam & Bryt! We are an adventure-obsessed duo who just so happen to be absolutely In love with elopements and Intimate weddings! After planning our own intimate, destination wedding, we knew that this was what would make us truly happy. After our own wedding, we felt inspired to help other couples create their dream wedding day because it made ours perfect in every way.
We believe In loving and living fearlessly and have enjoyed many experiences together In our marriage! We have climbed waterfalls In Jamaica, hiked mountains In the RNMP, and have even swam to a remote Island just to have a drink LOL!
With all of our adventures, it's hard to choose a favorite. But witnessing couples commit their lives together is by far the most amazing thing in the world! We are honored to be able to share this experience with you and we can't wait for us both take on an awesome adventure together!
XOXO,
Sam + Bryt
adventure.
& live for
travel,
We love
Adventures with you are my
When We started Dating:
When we started dating it was illegal for us to get married. It’s crazy to think there was a time when I would have been scared to share this. It’s even crazier to think that just a few years ago our love wasn’t allowed. So today and always, we are sharing our love so that others who may be afraid or scared, might gain the courage to share their truest selves!
How We Met:
I once told Bryt she wasn't my type...😅 Bryt and I were matched up by a mutual friend at college! I was actually Bryt's RA at one point (OPEEE!). I remember seeing her walk by with all of her “soccer” friends. They told us we would be a perfect match for each other... Clearly, I had another idea... When our friend first tried to set us up, I told her that "she wasn't my type"! LOL! Oops, was I wrong! Sometimes ya just have to live and learn what is meant for you ;)
Our First Date:
We both agreed to see where a first date would take us. Bryt came over late one night. I put my makeup on, got dressed all cute, and when Bryt arrived, I could tell something was off. Come to find out she was so NERVOUS that she literally made herself sick. The first “date” ended abruptly, and I walked her back home. Fast forward a few nights, we met up again and had a much better interaction. Eventually, I figured out she was the one for me. After graduating college, she finished her last year, and we moved in together.
The Proposal:
After many years of dating, Bryt decided to put a RING ON IT. Without her knowledge, I had been texting her cousin trying to get together a plan to propose over the winter holidays. Bryt loves skiing, so I thought it would be perfect to take her out to the Colorado mountains and propose on a ski trip. I contacted some photographers and started solidifying a plan. Little did I know she was also planning a proposal. She had been talking to her cousin about her plans as well! In November, we went on a cruise with her family. On a beautiful beach in The Grand Caymen Islands, Bryt passed me a cute little seashell with my dream ring inside. We always joke that she didn’t even “ask” me because I had already said a quick YES.

Our love
Let the wedding planning begin! We knew early on that we didn’t want a big wedding. We also knew we wanted to do something a little out of the ordinary and go somewhere we had never been. Somehow, we decided on The Virgin Islands. So, sight unseen, we planned a small, intimate wedding with just a few family and friends in attendance. We booked a beautiful Airbnb, a sunset catamaran sail, and the best photographer we could find. Shoutout to Lindsay! This day was one of the biggest of our lives as a couple because it was also the week we would COME OUT to the world and announce our relationship.
We wanted to come out in a big way, so we purchased rainbow-colored smoke bombs for our wedding party to hold. I remember the very moment we got the courage to share our love with the world. We were sitting at a Mexican restaurant in St. Thomas, and we had just gotten our sneak peeks back from our photographer. We had the perfect image and planned an announcement. We had kept our relationship from so many people we knew because we were afraid of the “what ifs” and what people would think of us. We were scared of what would happen to our business, our careers, etc. So, without further ado, we both clicked “post” and shared a similar photo, holding our breath. To be honest, we have lost friends, followers, and loved ones over time. But the feeling of being out and proud is unlike any other. So, here we are today. Out, proud, and never afraid to celebrate love in all its forms.

Our Coming out
you wrote the story, now it's time to tell it.
We believe in three simple words: love is love.
Having experienced rejection from those who don’t embrace this belief, even during our own wedding planning, we understand the pain and challenges that come with it. That's why our mission is to make you feel understood and valued. We want you to realize that your story is worthwhile and that you are part of a supportive community.
Pride isn't just one month out of the year for us—it's every day. There's nothing more beautiful and powerful than someone who chooses to be themselves. We cherish conversations about overcoming adversity and can’t wait to hear your story, because every love story is beautiful.
We hope that you know you're more than just SEEN. You're celebrated, cherished, and part of a community that stands with you in love and pride. And we'd truly be honored to capture it.

Looking back, we can see all of the barriers that led us to our own elopement wedding. Choosing to elope meant that we had more time for one another, less stress around anyone else’s expectations and loads of freedom around how to spend the day.
Elopements help couples shed SO much of the weight around homophobia, non-inclusive vendors and family drama. Trust us, we’ve been there!
We will guide the way.

We have considered lots of options for becoming parents. As an LGBTQ+ couple, we obviously have lots of hurdles to jump through. We could look into IVF or IUI, consider surrogacy, or explore adoption. But then Bryt had a great idea (yes, it was Bryt’s idea!) to become foster parents. We get to help kids in our community and become parents at the same time—it's a WIN-WIN in our books!
So far, we have had three incredible kids come into our lives through fostering. Each child's story is different, but our goal remains the same: to show them the love and care they deserve while they are with us. Whether they stay for a short while or a longer period, our home is a place of safety, acceptance, and unconditional love.
Our journey as foster parents has taught us so much about resilience, compassion, and the profound impact of simply being there for someone. We are honored to be a part of these children's lives, even if only for a moment, and we are committed to making that moment as filled with love and joy as possible.
