Sorrento and the Amalfi coast

Perched on dramatic cliffs overlooking the Bay of Naples, Sorrento blends old-world Italian charm with stunning sea views and a relaxed yet elegant atmosphere. With its grand historic villas, lush Mediterranean gardens, and quieter, more spacious venues, Sorrento provides an intimate setting without the crowds of its more famous neighbor.

Their story over the Amalfi bay area

Some love stories take time to unfold, weaving through years of friendship, distance, and fate before finally arriving at their destined moment. Alissa and James first met in 2009 at her clothing store in San Luis Obispo. There was an instant spark, but life had other plans—they remained close friends, always drawn to each other but never at the right time.

Nearly a decade passed before James, unable to ignore the feeling that something was unfinished, called her out of the blue. When they met again for a simple hike, everything fell into place. The chemistry, the connection—it had never faded. Alissa made the difficult choice to follow her heart, and they began a long-distance relationship, finally giving their love the chance it had always deserved.

They chose to elope in Italy,  in Sorrento, on the breathtaking cliffs of the Amalfi Coast, where the sea stretched endlessly before them. Their wedding was intimate, just the two of them, celebrating a love that had been years in the making. Though they sometimes regret the time lost, they know now that love always finds its way at the right moment.
