Collin made the "first move" with a DM on Twitter, complimenting Saige's photography. This sparked a friendship that began with a shared love for photography and grew stronger over the next 8 months, leading to...

After months of getting to know each other over texts and FaceTime, Collin booked his flight to Seattle for his and Saige's first date... a road trip together down the coast.

Our first photo together! Taken on Day 2 of our road trip... And also our second day of knowing each other! We were out and about on a great hike along the Oregon coast.

After a yummy dinner date in Santa Barbara, Collin told (not asked) Saige that he thinks she should officially be his girlfriend. 😂 She agreed. This photo was taken immediately after.

Collin's first visit to see Saige! This photo was taken while out on a walk in Whistler village. Probably right before or after a yummy meal shared.

We shared so many beautiful memories and adventures throughout 2022-2024. Even though we were apart for most of it, we knew we were on the right path. Each day, we grew more grateful and excited about our future together. The next step was inevitable, but still a surprise!...

While out for a sunset beach walk, Collin got down on one knee and popped the question. After the easiest 'yes' of our lives, we celebrated with pizza and ice cream.
