Meet Katherine and Kevin, our newest newlyweds. Their Smoky Hollow Studios Wedding was beautifully balanced between a casual, rustic, and vintage theme and we loved being there for every moment. Katherine and Kevin were the same year of a graduate school program, but did not meet until the second semester of their final year! A mutual friend invited them both over for dinner a movie and the rest is history. Fast forward to a beautiful day in April near Del Cerro Park in Palos Verdes. They started at the top of the cliffs and hiked their way to a point overlooking the ocean. While they were overlooking the water Kevin got down on one knee and proposed to Katherine.
“We are both a calming presence with one another. Having the other in the room brings a sense of peace and serenity, even when we’ve have a rough and hectic day. We really love traveling and trying new food. Our goal for this year is to try one new restaurant each month off of Jonathan Gold’s (LA Times Food Critic) list of best restaurants in LA.”
From Katherine: “Kevin is a wonderful companion when exploring new things, but also a calming presence when we are just together doing nothing. He challenges me intellectually to look at all sides of a problem. He’s logical when discussing issues, but also silly and fun loving enough to own 3 pairs of Disney printed shoes!”
From Kevin: “I find it easy to be myself around Katherine. For example, I was wearing a pair of teal sunglasses when I proposed! She is willing to drive an hour across town to find the best donuts with me, and she is willing to stay up late to join me at a blues concert. Finally, there is also some truth in “the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach” because the turkey burgers she makes are phenomenal!”
