The Bride's Story

I am a native to Arizona and have attended school in Scottsdale and graduated from Arizona State University! I currently work at a Scottsdale based automotive advertising agency as a Social Media Manager. Previous to the agency, I worked in the corporate ethics and compliance industry as an Events Marketing Manager for global corporate events from Singapore to Rio De Janeiro to Dubai to the Harvard Club of New York.
I am a devoted animal lover, with a profound passion for art and music. I consider myself a flower child at heart, always remembering to stop and smell the roses, and love exploring the great outdoors. Whether it be camping on the Mogollon Rim or hiking through Havasupai Falls, we always find new, fun adventures to keep us going.
You can also catch me on the court on a beautiful day enjoying a nice game of tennis. I have been playing since I was young, and have also been a profound fan of everything tennis.
I am so excited to marry my absolute best friend in the Spring and can't wait for you to join us on our wedding day.

The Groom's Story

I moved to Arizona, after college at Chapman University, to pursue a different career after working for Apple, DreamWorks Animation and in the animation industry in Southern California. My move to Arizona brought me to Sara as well as a new job with Apple and I eventually moved to Cupertino, California for a while. I currently work as the Sr. iOS Developer for PetSmart in Phoenix, Arizona.

I am also a private pilot and did my first solo after only 8 hours of training! I have flown over 48 hours and close to 1,200 miles in the air since starting my license! I like to think of myself as a cigar and whiskey aficionado; making sure all my friends are well taken care of with good cigars, fine scotch, and whiskey.

``Our first date was when I knew Sara was the one; We must have talked for 8 hours straight. She's my best friend and I can talk to her like nobody else!``

Wedding Party

We can't wait to share our wedding day with these amazing friends!

Bridesmaids

Breanne

Maid of Honor
Breanne (Bre Bre) and I met over a decade ago, during my first year, at Arizona State University. Our mutual connection with dance, music, laughter and positivity connected us from the start. Some of my favorite memories together include choreographing our own dance parties, sunset bike rides on the beach, Vegas buffets and pool time, shoe shopping and long road trips. There is never a dull moment with my BFF! I couldn't imagine a more amazing, awesome and beautiful bestie, inside and out, to stand by my side on our big day! Breanne is also a former Sun Devil and is currently a preschool teacher and dance instructor in Scottsdale.

Michael

Man of Honor
I met Michael during my internship after college in 2010. I knew he was all around awesome when he could make me laugh until I cried on a daily basis. Our adventures range from coast to coast from dancing the night away in Denver to day shopping and exploring Manhattan to catching up over Moscow Mules in the Meatpacking District. There is never a dull moment with Michael, one of my silliest, most genuine, fashionable, talented friends a girl could ask for. Michael currently resides in New York and works on Wall Street overlooking the water in Battery Park.

Jordan

Bridesmaid
Jordan and I met many years ago and she is one of the most beautiful and amazing friends a girl could ask for. She is incredibly talented and one of the craftiest fashionistas I know! Jordan radiates positivity and always knows how to light up a room wherever she goes with her contagious laughter and gorgeous smile. I absolutely cherish our friendship together, whether it be food tasting exploring the Culinary Festival, Sunday Fundaying, dancing the night away or enjoying a new episode of 'The Kardashians' I can always count on an awesome adventure with my amazing friend Jordan! Jordan currently resides in Scottsdale and recently engaged to our groomsman Joe.

Kristin

Bridesmaid
Kristen and I met 6 years ago and since then we have added many memories to the adventure book! We have made it through many adventurous memories together such as camping in a 'hurricane' on the edge of a cliff, rocking out poolside in Vegas to hiking through the Grand Canyon to Havasupai Falls and dominating our Fantasy Football League. Kristin is incredibly caring and has a strong will and passion for medicine. She is a former Wildcat and graduate from the University of Arizona and currently works in pharmaceutical sales throughout Arizona.

Samantha

Bridesmaid
Samantha and I met many years ago through the other bridesmaids and I knew right away that we would be friends for life! Samantha is incredibly caring and has one of the biggest hearts out there! She can bust a move when it's time to dance and knows a good tune when she hears it! We absolutely love to go up North to the Mogollon during camping season to enjoy the outdoors and explore the beautiful mountains. Samantha works for the Department of Veteran Affairs for University of Phoenix and will be marrying the love of her life, Duane, this coming fall.

Groomsman

Graham

Best Man
Graham and I have known each other since 2005 when we attended Tesoro High School in California. Since then, we have pulled many shenanigans together and Graham was the first person to introduce me to cigars. Graham is a successful and talented Cinematographer in Los Angeles and spends most of his time traveling and working on various movies, commercials and video games.

Dan

Groomsman
Dan and I have known each other since 2005 since we were at Tesoro High School. Dan was Brian's go-to person to have jump into a motion capture suit and dance the night away at Chapman University.  Dan is a successful and talented stedi-cam and camera operator in Los Angeles. He can usually be found as Graham's go-to camera operator on many movies, commercials and video game shoots or running around like a T-Rex as "Dino-Dan Fritz"

Duane

Groomsman
Duane and I met while camping on the Mogollon Rim outside of Payson at the end of 2014 in what has since been dubbed: "The Hurricane". Sara and I provided shelter in our tent for Duane and his awesome dog Gracie after the storm blew Duane's tent across the campsite and into the fire. It was a crazy night in the craziest rain storm we've ever seen but we survived! Duane and I soon learned that we share a passion for animation and technology. Duane is a certified investment advisor for Charles Schwab in Phoenix.

Joe

Groomsman
Joe's fiancé, Jordan told Sara before Joe and Brian met: "Once they meet, they are going to want to move in together and be roommates, watch!" Jordan was almost right. Joe and I have known each other since 2014 when we squared off at Top Golf to see who could drive the ball farther. Neither can remember who won but since then Joe and I have shared many good cigars and cheered the Cards on to victory at many Arizona Cardinals games. Joe is a police officer and is known to participate in marathons around the country including the upcoming 2016 Tour de Force Memorial Ride in NYC riding on behalf of Officer David Glasser who was recently killed in the line of duty.

Bryan

Groomsman
For as long as Sara and I have been together, I have known "Boyer Destroyer". I first met Bryan on a double date with Sara and Bryan's girlfriend, Kristin back in 2012, not long after both couples started dating. Since then Bryan and I have gone on several camping trips together, hiked the Grand Canyon together and participated in our awesome Fantasy Football league last season. Bryan is a highly successful Corporate Account Manager at Avis in Phoenix.
