Nick + Alysse in Southern California

A romantic pacific coast engagement session in Southern California with Nick and Alysse. This pacific coast engagement session was nothing short of dreamy! We spent the day with Nick and Alysse, getting to know them better, watching them interact with each other & documenting their love. We went to Temecula, California to visit one of their favorite wineries, Wilson Creek Winery and fell in love with the vineyards. Later that evening we spent time on the beach as the sun was going down. Love the scenery and felt creatively inspired during our travels out there on the west coast. Visiting San Diego again for their wedding was just as amazing. Follow our blog to see their wedding featured on our blog soon!

“I guess you could say that fate smiled at destiny. After all, their parents went to high school together. Alysse’s mom and Nick’s dad go way back – the two of them and Lisa’s first husband, Guy, were “the three best friends anyone could ever have.” Growing up, Nick and Alysse never met, even though their families were together at numerous family gatherings and parties. Fast forward to post college. Nick moved to San Diego and, three years later, Alysse moved there, too. Just three days after Alysse’s dad dropped her off in California, he found himself at a graduation party in Michigan reunited with Nick’s parents. They got to talking and realized that both families had children in Pacific Beach, California. Pictures and phone numbers were exchanged followed by inevitable embarrassing parental involvement. Those shenanigans lead to a Facebook message — Alysse could not wait to contact this handsome boy that her parents knew. Shortly after, Nick asked Alysse to meet for drinks and…the rest is history. The bride and groom are beyond excited to have you share in the beginning of their next chapter.”
