Will you be joining us?
Our Honeymoon Fund
Your presence at our wedding is truly the best gift, but if you’d like to contribute in another way, we’d love your help in making our dream honeymoon a reality!
When we visited Lake Como in 2022 with Hannah’s family, we fell in love with the area and knew we had to come back one day for our honeymoon. Now, three years later, we’re making that dream come true—because life is too short not to! One week after the wedding, we’re heading back to this magical place to celebrate the start of our next chapter.
Our honeymoon fund will help us experience everything we’ve been dreaming about: dinner at the iconic Grand Hotel Tremezzo, wine tastings in Bellagio, a sunset boat tour, and more. And of course, it will support Brandon’s personal mission to find and rank every quattro formaggi pizza in Italy.
If you’d like to contribute, we’d be forever grateful—but most of all, we can’t wait to celebrate with you!

GETTING
THERE
If you are traveling from out of state, this is for you!
For those traveling from out of state, you'll fly into Denver International Airport (DIA). If you're planning to explore Estes and Rocky Mountain National Park while visiting, we recommend renting a car. From DIA to Estes Park, it is about a 1.5-hour drive. Parking is free if staying on the Stanley Campus. For those who prefer not to drive, there are several shuttle services available; you can book these at Estes Park Shuttle. Please be aware that Lyft and Uber services are rarely available in Estes, so planning your transportation in advance is crucial!
WHERE
TO STAY
If your budget allows, we highly recommend staying on the Stanley Hotel Campus. The Stanley offers a range of options from historic suites to AirBnB-esque lodging, all within walking distance of our wedding events, which is perfect as there is limited Uber or Lyft in Estes Park. Estes Park has dozens of other hotels catering to various budgets, but we will not be offering shuttles, so please secure a DD beforehand! And for the adventurers, you're in the Rockies—camping options are everywhere!

Brandon and I swiped right into each other’s lives in December 2019, just weeks after he moved to Denver from San Francisco. Having moved to Denver myself in 2015, I felt like I had finally met the man I had been waiting for. We became inseparable almost instantly. When the pandemic hit a few months later, moving in together felt like the right step. Those early months in quarantine deepened our bond significantly. We discovered how much we had in common, and it became clear that this was much more than a fling—it was forever.
I officially became Bonsai’s step-mom, and we moved into our first downtown loft together. We hosted the best parties, rescued our second puppy, Lavender, and eventually moved into a home with a backyard for our furry children. Our adventures have taken us on road trips across the U.S., to the shores of Italy, and to a secluded beach cove in Portugal where Brandon proposed, surrounded by friends.
We followed our dreams of living in the Colorado mountains and recently bought our first house together in Aspen Park, Colorado. We’ve learned that we can make any place feel like home as long as we are together with our pups. We're thrilled to see what the future holds and can’t wait to celebrate our love with all of you!
