Jess and Ryan love to be outdoors so they chose Sterling Forest State Park for their September engagement session. We had never been here before, and we are always down to exploring new places!

Billy proposed to Jess at Telluride Ski Resort in Mountain Village, Colorado. You can read more of their story below! We are looking forward to their wedding this October at Crystal Springs Country Club in Hamburg, NJ.

 

Tell us about yourselves!

“How did we meet – we truly believe that fate played a big part in our love story. Our paths could have (and honestly should have) crossed YEARS before we actually met. I (Jess) went to preschool less than a mile from Billy’s childhood home. Billy spent most of his weekends up in my hometown playing paintball with his friends. Billy attended a Catholic high school where some of my good friends went. The stories go on and on, but it took some mutual friends, a house party, and even a dating app to get us together.

We’ve spent the last 7 years traveling, hiking, skiing, kayaking and loving each other. Most weekends you’ll find us heading to the mountains to do one of those activities – but now with a dog in tow! We adopted our sweet girl, Rumor, in April 2020 and we are obsessed with her. She is named after a ski trail at our “home” mountain.

We love The Office, Parks and Rec, and Modern Family – those are pretty much on repeat all day, every day. Our favorite shows that we watched during the pandemic are Ballers, Below Deck, Peaky Blinders, and Hunters. I also have a true crime obsession so I’ve spent many hours listening to podcasts like My Favorite Murder, Uncover, Missing and Murdered, and Someone Knows Something. Billy spends his downtime playing xbox and training for obstacle course races. We can’t wait to get married and spend the rest of our lives laughing at our lame jokes, seeing as many beautiful places that we can, and taking every adventure!”
