Tina + Casey

ouray

Love Story Casey and Tina met through a mutual friend in the summer of 2014. They bonded over live music, road trips and their favorite pie place, Emporium Pies. After a couple of years of dating and living together, they had the itch to pack up their lives and move a thousand miles away from their home in Texas to Phoenix, Arizona. Moving to a new place with only each other for support was scary, but made them realize that they were meant to spend forever together.

Proposal One evening during a week-long trip wandering around Joshua Tree and Idyllwild, California, they planned on a sunset picnic in one of their favorite national parks, Joshua Tree National Park. Nestled between some huge boulders and yucca trees, they set up their camera and Casey played some music from a thoughtfully created playlist. Swept Away by the Avett Brothers started playing in the background and Casey mustered up the courage to get on one knee and pop the question. Followed by one of the ugliest cries that Casey has ever seen, Tina said, “yes!” and they agreed it was the weirdest yet most exciting feeling ever.
