Alyssa & Joel | Arboretum Engagement

Alyssa was out for one last fun dancing night in LA before leaving to work in Maine for 6 months. She was at the dance club to enjoy herself, be with friends, and say some goodbyes. What Alyssa did not anticipate was meeting Joel, this sweet guy who asked her to go kayaking before boarding her flight across the country. She'd never been kayaking and found she couldn't resist the cute guy with the perfect date idea, even if she may never see him again. Needless to say, the two hit it off and shared Skype talks everyday while Alyssa was away, with a surprise engagement a year later.True love has a way of showing up in surprising places at unexpected times and we are so happy it did for Alyssa & Joel! Thanks you two, what a sweet couple you make. ~Erik & Marissa
