Falling in love during a pandemic and moving across the world together sure makes for a unique love story! Who would have thought what is possible, having been friends for years before.

Brad and Kirsten first met years ago at a music festival in Oregon. They remained friends in a tight-nit friend circle in Portland. When COVID first came about in 2020 the pair, being neighbours, became closer. At first for comfort in those trying times, eventually it became clear that what they had was much deeper.

As the pandemic started to let up, thoughts of the future started to blossom. Independently, they wanted to live abroad (for Kirsten, for the third time). Not long after the discussions started, Brad moved to Berlin and Kirsten followed shortly thereafter.

Now on their second year in Berlin, the couple was engaged in Croatia in 2023. They're excited to return back to Portland to celebrate their wedding with their friends and family--from borh their original home and their adopted home.
