San Diego is nothing but hidden gems. Laura, Nick and the Maple Canyon Bridge are all totally some of them. We met up at Cafe Bassam to grab some coffee and smell and the different varieties of tea. It’s the kind of spot where old men meet up for hours to chat and play cards over caffeine. They were completely welcoming and so excited that we loved their spot enough to photograph it. It’s also conveniently close to the Maple Canyon Bridge. This bridge serves as an alley way across a canyon between neighborhoods and is the castle in sky over lots of great little walking tails hidden just near downtown.

Laura and Nick met in college in Wisconsin. When a job brought Nick to San Diego, they toughed it out long distance for a few years before Laura moved out to join him in paradise. These two are absolute sweeties and insanely adorable with each other. I’m so SO excited for their wedding at Four Moons Spa in Encinitas in October!
