Katelyn & Michael’s Romantic Journey
Katelyn and Michael’s story began long before their spring wedding day. Growing up just down the street from each other in New Jersey, their paths didn’t cross romantically until after college. Both being outdoor enthusiasts, they soon started traveling together, hiking in Colorado, exploring Acadia National Park, and adventuring through the Highlands of Scotland and the fjords of Norway. Michael’s love for pushing boundaries introduced Katelyn to new experiences, despite not having flown until she was 22, Katelyn has since been making up for lost time with their many travels. Their engagement was equally adventurous, taking place on a sunset boat tour in St. Lucia in January 2023. Michael, with the help of newfound friends, captured the moment beautifully.
