From the Couple...

How The Met: "We met while working together at a sailing center in Corolla in the summer of 2011. John had moved from South Carolina and took a job as the sailing center's Site Manager and Taylor just graduated college in Virginia and took a Summer job there renting out water-sport equipment. We became friends through working together and made our romantic relationship official that September - we also decided to make our move to the Outer Banks a permanent one!"

Why They Chose the Outer Banks: "We met here and live here!"

Wedding Inspiration: "We wanted our wedding to be everything that is simple, natural beauty - something we feel encompasses our relationship as a whole. The most important thing to us was to be able to get married in a place that had significant meaning to both of us, and that we could always come back to visit and even bring our keys one day. Our wedding quickly turned into an earthy, very natural, garden glam style."

Favorite Wedding Memory: "Our top favorite memory is our first look! Once we saw each other for the first time, every nerve we had went away and it was just the most emotional, flawless moment for us that we will never forget."
