Enchanting Seaside Wedding at Alila Marea Beach Resort in Encinitas with Allison and Carson

Allison and Carson’s breathtaking coastal wedding at Alila Marea Beach Resort in Encinitas was a celebration of love, adventure, and the journey they’ve shared since they first met in 2013. The serene seaside setting, with its stunning views of the Pacific Ocean, provided the perfect backdrop for their special day.

Their story began over a decade ago at a social event during their college years, where a shared interest in marketing sparked their connection. From those early days of concerts, late-night texts, and trying new restaurants, to the challenges of balancing college and long-distance, their bond only grew stronger.

As newlyweds, Allison and Carson took a quiet moment away from the festivities, walking hand in hand down to the beachside cliffs. The salty sea air, the sound of waves crashing below, and the endless horizon created a romantic atmosphere that was both timeless and unforgettable. With each step, they reflected on the journey that brought them to this beautiful moment, surrounded by the love of their family and friends.

Their love story, from that first text to the surprise proposal in Kauai, was celebrated in every detail of their wedding day. At Alila Marea Beach Resort, they began their next chapter together, with the coastal beauty of Encinitas as their witness.
