Alexis & Mike were destined for a life together. They’ve known one another since they were 14 years old. They even dated for a short period of time in high school. They went their separate ways but always lived parallel lives, somehow just missing one another. They never forgot one another and kept a place in their hearts for the other. It wasn’t until one evening they finally crossed paths again and that night sealed their fate. Alexis even declared to a friend that night that she would marry this man one day. After a long evening together and never wanting it to end, Mike took Alexis home. Only to discover that she lived next door to the rental his parents owned. The same rental he had been visiting every month to collect rent. They couldn’t believe it. It was a sign to them both. Nine years later with a beautiful 4-year old daughter, they will finally seal the deal. I loved hearing their story. And I am so thrilled to be a part of their “happily ever after”.
These two are a blast to be with. Alexis is super fun and spunky. Mike has such a calm but strong nature about him. They balance one another out and I have such a sense of their love, just being around them together.
Their home is in Redondo Beach and they decided to stay close to home for their shoot to capture a glimpse of their life together. It was perfect! They are just stunning together…
We visited their favorite Mexican restaurant (Ortega 120) for some delicious guacamole and tableside margaritas. This is now my favorite Mexican restaurant too! I can’t wait to bring Dan back here.
And this is the place they finally reconnected after many years of being apart and was the beginning of their life together. We had to capture them here…Patrick Malloys in Hermosa Beach. By the way, don’t you just love Alexis’ tee? YES! Thanks for a fun night, guys!
