Santa Monica, California

Where It All Started

It was a beautiful day in Sunny Santa Barbara, California. Ashlyn & Kurt shared their first official date at a winery that Kurt is a member of, Paradise Springs Winery. They shared a bottle of GSM (Grenache-Syrah-Mourvedre blend), ate tacos at Finney's Crafthouse, and the rest was history!

The Engagement

Ashlyn said “YES” to forever! Kurt proposed to Ashlyn on May 16, 2024. It was a magical day in secluded Carmel-By-The-Sea. Kurt ensured the moment was perfection and something that Ashlyn would cherish till the end of time. He planned a relaxing getaway to the luxurious La Playa Hotel. This was the couple's dream hotel, and their room was kindly upgraded to a dreamy suite. They shared their favorite cuisine (Italian food). Then shortly after, they were found in La Playa's stunning floral terrace. Kurt got down on one knee, and promised Ashlyn a lifetime of love and laughter. All caught on film by a photographer that Kurt hired. It was a beautiful sunny day, which is extremely rare in Carmel-By-The-Sea!
