Abby and Dylan’s story began on an Air Force base in England, where Abby’s father served as Dylan’s superintendent. Dating a commanding officer’s daughter was out of the question, but fate had other plans. The two kept in touch over the years, sharing life updates and building a connection. When Dylan finally took a leap of faith, the decision proved to be life-changing.

By New Year’s Eve, their bond had grown into something deeper. “I love you” was exchanged, though it’s still unclear if Abby said it first or if the fireworks masked her response. Either way, the couple laughed through the misunderstanding, sealing their love with a second round of heartfelt declarations.

During a visit to meet Dylan’s family in Arizona, he had something special planned. The couple hiked a mountain to catch the golden hour glow. At the top, Dylan, with tears in his eyes, asked Abby to be his wife. But the adventure didn’t end there. On their way down, they found the mountain gates locked, forcing them to face the unexpected together.

The couple exchanged vows in January, surrounded by modern elegance and a classic black-and-white palette. Abby dreamed of timeless images, and Mandi Roach Photography delivered with a blend of fine art, editorial, and candid storytelling. “My vision for photos is fine art with editorial, photo journalistic, and candid vibes,” the bride says.

Following their timeless chapel wedding, the reception glowed with white florals and lush greenery. One standout moment? “So many people stood up and gave a speech or toast,” the bride shares. The night ended with bubbles, flashing lights, and a packed dance floor.
