ALYSSA & CHASE

We met nine years ago in San Francisco, and right from the start, it felt like something special—like we'd known each other forever. We hit it off over a shared love of travel, espresso martinis, and more dinners at Javier's than we'd like to admit. One of our very first (and favorite) dates was a rafting trip down the Russian River—equal parts adventurous and fun—and the perfect way to kick off this wild, amazing journey we've been on together ever since.

Five years ago, we decided to pack up and move to San Diego ready to start building a life that truly feels like home. Since then, we've built our first house together, added our sweet pup Kai to the mix (Kiki, our cat, is still adjusting to not being the only child), and filled our days with travel, lots of Mexican food and unforgettable memories.

From that first river trip to all the little everyday moments in between—and yes, still plenty of Javier's—we've been lucky to grow and build a life we love. We're so excited to share this next chapter with you and can't wait for all that's ahead.
