The two of us

Our story

We met on a morning swim and have been chasing the water ever since. Six years, three coasts, and one very sandy dog later, here we are.

We’re saying our vows barefoot on the Pacific in Playa Hermosa. Come for the ceremony at golden hour, stay for the long lunch and the warm night air. No shoes required.

Questions

  • The ceremony starts at 4:00 PM sharp — we’d love everyone seated by 3:50.

  • Free parking on-site with overflow at the south gate. Rideshare works too — about 25 minutes from downtown Austin.

  • Absolutely — bring the whole crew. There’s a kids’ table and a babysitter on-site from 6 PM.

  • The barn fits everyone if the sky has other ideas. Same schedule either way.

Make a weekend of it

Pura vida — come early and stay barefoot. Catch a sunrise surf, an afternoon in the hammock, and fresh ceviche by the water. Find us at the beach bar the night before, and squeeze in one more swim before you fly out Sunday.
