Adam, three years ago today I walked on an isle a little different from this one but I still found you. And since that day it’s been you. Now I won’t say something cliche like…”I never imagined this day would come.” because you know that I love a good love story. But back then I wasn’t sure what a connection with a stranger on an airplane would lead to. But in this moment, exactly 3 years from the day we met, I’m the most sure that I’ve ever been. In a few short moments, I’ll be your wife and as we stand here and take it all in and as I try to keep it together, I want you to know that my heart is entirely yours. It always has been and forever will be. I promise to be your partner in all things and take you as mine. Not possessing you but instead working together as the two of us become one. I vow to support you, honor you and cherish you as my husband. I choose you today and every day ahead. I love you!

adam:

I prayed for you and in truth I prayed about you. I am not surprised that we are here, I am encouraged. “Ask in My name and it is given,” and He gave. You are the part in my testimony of faith and favor. No wonder why we met in the air on a short flight because God doesn’t need much time to change someone’s life. Thank you for who you are in full, you are my word of prayer. Thank you for allowing me to love you my way. Thank you for seeing the best in me.

It was such a crazy day! We had decided last minute to get married and planned a wedding in two months. With that short notice our favorite man, George, was booked the day of our wedding so we had planned to do our portraits with George the day after the wedding. This actually turned out to be a really great idea because I had since decided I wanted to take water pictures and that would’ve been too crazy the day of the wedding. Turns out it was still crazy the day after. The night before we set our session for a sunset shoot at 6pm but what we didn’t factor in was the time change, we had lost an hour of daylight! My husband and I had a hotel that was 30 minutes from the beach we were shooting at. George had texted me at 4:20 to remind me about the time change so actually sun set was at 5:30. I had just hoped out of the shower and my husband, Bryson, was still chilling on the bed. So immediately I started running around the room yelling for Bryson to get ready, I threw some curls in my hair, threw all my makeup in a bag, jumped into my dress, grabbed my shoes and Bryson and I ran out of the hotel barefoot. We get into the car and zoom 30min down the road. I’m doing my makeup in the car, Bryson’s doing his hair and we were literally racing the sun. We get there with 20 minutes left of sunlight. We hop out of the car and we ran to the beach as fast as we could. Immediately George just started taking photos. We were posing and walking. It was CRAZY. We get in the water to take the last photo and I could not stop laughing because we are trying to hurry and get this pose but the waves would crash into us and knock us over. It was the quickest photo shoot ever but the most exhilarating. We had a blast and our pictures turned out phenomenal! It couldn’t have been a more perfectly imperfect day.

his side:

Normally when watching a sunset, you would think the sun sets slow. But when you’re racing the sun, time, and a trooper, things can get pretty interesting. We made it to the beach just with 20 minutes before dark, and The work was done from there. Not only did our pictures come out bomb, but we had fun while doing it.

“The water was cold, but she’s worth it.”

— Bryson

“He made me feel like the most beautiful bride.”

— Karina

“Jesus knew what I needed. I’m just glad he allowed it to be.”

— Bryson

“He held me so tight as the waves crashed into us and I knew this is why I married him. No matter what crashes into us he would always protect me.

his side:

Today was the day. It wasn't even a question anymore. I had already made the decision months back and through countless hours of planning and getting set for this day, I knew it would not only be the best kept secret, but also my favorite question I would ever ask.

After two days of scouting Oregon for just the right spot, Janae met me in Portland, not knowing anything prior to me picking her up. We spent the morning together in Portland, like any other of our adventurous days: Brunch, Coffee and Scenic Views. Upon telling her that there was an amazing viewpoint near Crown Point that I had heard about, we made our way up to a secluded, yet breathtaking ridge that overlooked the Columbia River Gorge. Still believing that this was all spur of the moment and unplanned, Janae and I began to take pictures like any other one of our adventures. She was entirely clueless as to what was about to happen. I then told Janae that I had put together a video for her to watch, which included our favorite song and our entire relationship in a nutshell of videos. I signaled to George and my sister, Corina, to get ready, let Janae finish the video, pulled a little white box out of my jacket pocket and got down on one knee.

A rush of emotion. I didn't know if which knee I got down on mattered, I didn't know if anyone was watching us, I didn't know what time it was or if I had checked into my flight for the next day. Nothing else in that moment mattered; it's still a blur. Looking at the woman I wanted to be with for the rest of my life was more breathtaking than anything I had ever seen. Looking into her eyes and knowing she wanted it just as much as I did, brought me complete and absolute happiness. I couldn't stop smiling and when I finally stopped shaking and took the top off of the white box, I asked Janae Stanfield if she would make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife forever. With tears in her eyes, and emotions flowing faster than we could keep up with, she said yes and became my Forever.

A few weeks ago, Drew surprised me with a random trip to Portland with him and his sister, and I couldn’t have been more excited! Mountains, coffee, and waterfalls are right up our alley so I knew it would be a fun getaway. The week leading up to leaving I got insanely sick and prayed that I would get better by the weekend AND he told me that his sister had a church meeting on Friday night so we would have to adjust our plans and meet her on Saturday. Despite delayed flights and being so exhausted, I finally made it late Friday night.

The morning of, Drew had told me that his sister had missed her flight and wouldn’t be to Portland until later on in the the afternoon, so he had no plans. I’m a planner and this was definitely not what I was expecting, but I made the best of it and we went to brunch and got coffee. He mentioned he saw an insane lookout point called Crown Point on a Portland blog and we should hit it up before we picked his sister up at the airport. I really wanted to see as many waterfalls as possible in the daylight, but I agreed and we found our way up to this insane view. As I was just staring at the view, he saw this point in the distance where two girls were sitting literally on the edge of the mountain, and he told me we should go hike up there. Even though I was wearing heeled booties, I followed his lead again and made it up to the craziest view of the mountains and a huge gorge. Definitely worth that hike. As we were taking photos of each other per usual, he said he made something for me. I was surprised to find he created a video of our entire relationship with videos and snapchats with the background of our favorite song, which of course had me in tears because I knew what was going to happen. After the video, he gave me the biggest hug and kiss, got down on one knee, and asked if I would be his wife forever. To which I responded with “Yes!” with tears running down my face.

After collecting myself, I noticed we were being photographed the entire time! I then saw his sister in the distance who had “missed her flight”, but who had been in Portland since Friday morning to help Drew! Turns out Drew had flown in on Thursday without my knowing so he could find THE spot to propose. Not only was this the biggest surprise of my entire life, it was the most perfect and thought out day I could have ever asked for.
