PHOTOGRAPHY BY CHARLETON CHURCHILL PHOTOGRAPHY
Alex describes the love story between her and Mikey
in a truly heartwarming way: “In a way, it feels old.
Like our souls have known each other forever.”
And while that may seem like a love-inspired
exaggeration, it’s pretty close to the truth: they’ve

same classes in sixth grade. Though they didn’t start
dating until after college, they were friends from the

Alex began way back in high school!).
After an intimate proposal at home witnessed
only by the couple’s pup Cooper, the two began
their search for the perfect waterfront venue. They
found it on the west shore of Lake Tahoe at West
Shore Café and Inn and tied the knot on a breezy
day in August.
The ceremony was intentionally small, attended
by just 14 guests. They opted to forgo a wedding
