September 6, 2023

I’m over the moon to share with you the captivating love story of Alexandria and Tyler, a couple whose journey of almost 6 years led them to the sun-kissed shores of Wrightsville Beach, NC. Their breathtaking Shell Island Beach Wedding was a true testament to their boundless love and adventurous spirits.

From Day One to Forever: Their love story began in the most unexpected and charming way. It was a crisp autumn day when Tyler and Alexandria’s paths crossed at the Land of Illusion Haunted House. Friends introduced them, not knowing that this would be the beginning of a lifelong adventure. Fast forward, and their friends, who played Cupid, are now preparing for their own wedding – a beautiful full-circle moment.

A Journey of Support and Growth: From the moment they met, Tyler and Alexandria knew they were destined to be together. Supporting each other through dreams and aspirations, they witnessed each other’s growth firsthand. As Tyler pursued his studies in electrical engineering at the University of Cincinnati and Alexandria pursued her passion as a hair stylist and teacher, their love grew stronger. Amid the bustling student life, they moved in together and adopted their fur baby, Cooper, whose paws have left lasting imprints on their hearts.

Love Knows No Bounds: Graduating in 2019, the couple embarked on new chapters in their careers. Yet, their love for adventure remained constant. From hiking the picturesque trails of Hocking Hills and Red River Gorge to basking in the ocean’s embrace in Wilmington, their hearts were always in sync. Their beloved dog, Cooper, often joined them, chasing seagulls along the shoreline – a memory that they fondly laugh about.

A Proposal as Unique as Their Love: Tyler’s proposal was as unforgettable as their journey together. Amidst a world in turmoil, their love shone brighter than ever. At Red River Gorge, amidst private trails and stunning vistas, Tyler chose the perfect moment to get down on one knee. Surrounded by nature’s beauty and with Cooper as their witness, Tyler asked Alexandria to be his forever.

Why Anchored in Love? I’m humbled that Alexandria and Tyler chose Anchored in Love to capture their unforgettable moments. Their genuine excitement during our conversations meant the world to me. Being a part of their day, capturing every detail and emotion, was a true honor.
