For Alyssa and Jordan, love didn’t begin with a whirlwind romance—it began in an office in Canada, where their chemistry was undeniable. Once the timing was right, they took the leap together, and the life they’ve built since has been full of joy, resilience, and adventure. Their Duke’s Malibu wedding was a celebration of that journey—with sweeping ocean views, golden light, and a relaxed, social atmosphere.

Jordan & Alyssa’s Story

Alyssa had expected their engagement to happen during long-planned trip to Australia. Instead, Jordan caught her completely off guard with a proposal at Bolsa Chica State Beach, just before they boarded their flight. The best part? Landing in Australia and getting to celebrate with Jordan’s brother and his girlfriend, already engaged and glowing with excitement.

Getting Married at Duke’s Malibu

The day began in a quiet Topanga Canyon AirBNB, where Alyssa and Jordan got ready surrounded by friends and family. They shared a private first look in the gardens there, before heading down to the coast to their wedding venue, Duke’s Malibu.

Alyssa and Jordan exchanged vows in a heartfelt ceremony in a room with wall-to-wall ocean views, under a wedding arch decorated with white and green tropical florals. The cocktail hour and reception were intentionally relaxed, letting guests take their time soaking in the ocean view from Duke’s terrace.

As the sun began to dip, we stepped out onto the venue’s private beach. Their wedding day sunset was perfect, wrapping the couple in a soft, romantic golden glow for timeless wedding portraits—the perfect way to end the day.
