Hope and Joel are like a breath of fresh air... a ray of sunshine on a cloudy day. These two are quirky, fun and creative. They met in High School but didn't actually start dating until college. Hope went to school in NYC and Joel was on the other side of the country. I always admire couples whose love can persevere through distance. Joel is a very talented video producer and Hope is one of those creative, smart and funny ladies that could really do anything she wants in life.

You know those people you can sit down over coffee with and forget about time all together? That is Hope and Joel. I think that is because the four of us share very similar perspectives on life. All of us believe in running after our passions and living the full life, perusing joy, creative expression and loving others better. We all believe in the ADVENTURE of it all... and I'm slightly smitten with people who see the bigger picture like that because it often seems like they are the minority. But life is an adventure to be lived. We must know who we are, see what we want and run after it. We love these two and are so excited for their wedding in May!!
