Kendall told her friend that “that boy is cute” – a little tap tap on the shoulder and the rest […]

Fate brought this Michigan girl and California boy together to meet in Switzerland, where they literally “fell” in love on a skydiving expedition.  I can’t think of a better meet / cutest story: finding each other halfway around the world, jumping out of a plane, and actually leaving this trip with a future together. COME […]

Awww! My Katie and Ryan! Can’t wait to share “our story” Every engagement has a beautiful story and years of memories that came before that led to that moment – where he pops the question.

Rachel and Rudy were originally scheduled to be married at a church in Santa Clarita, but fate intervened and when they were tasked with finding a new location, they found the spectacular Orcutt Ranch in West Hills, CA which couldn’t have been a more perfect backdrop for their garden wedding.  With acres and acres of […]

I’ve been blessed to be born into quite the last name. Allegra— a verb in the beautiful Italian language “to be happy” is a clear depiction of what I always strive to be. Someday, I believe I’ll get married and have the choice to change my last name. As I am confident I will decide to, I do know one thing is certain — I’ll always be Allegra.

Life could take me many directions, but one promise to myself is to always strive to be happy - with that, we have
Always Allegra.
