where the fyre started
—
Carrie and Jay met in 2015 while working at Pacsun. They were often sent to cover events together - capturing content to post on social media. After sipping Hennessy with 2 Chainz at Bootsy Bellows, sneaking into the artist tent at Made in America, surviving a post-Coachella wind storm; the two became really close friends. One thing was clear, when they were together, it made the job way more fun.
So when the time came to cover the *ULTIMATE* influencer music festival. There was only one photographer Carrie wanted to take on the trip. 4 flights later, they were on a “private jet” to their luxury cabana in the Bahamas (OK.. let’s be real, it was actually a plastic seat charter plane wrapped in #FyreFestival). Little did they know they were heading straight for chaos and would soon be at the scene of the most notorious festival fraud ever.
Long story short, the festival was cancelled and they were stranded on the island.. forever.
Just kidding.
What they thought would be a stressful work trip, turned into the most amazing tropical vacation.
I guess you could say, it was WHERE THE FYRE STARTED.
the engagement ♥️
it happened in palm springs while celebrating carrie’s 30th birthday and halloween with close friends. it was a murder mystery evening and everyone was trying to figure out who killed the movie director (AKA jay). they had pulled together all of the clues and finally knew who the murderer was when jay exclaimed “you forgot the most important clue” and got down on one knee.
