Meet Jenny and Daniel.  Daniel is the mastermind behind my gorgeous new branding and logo!  He is a talented guy!  If you are in the market for a new logo or any kind of design work, I highly recommend him!  Check out his website here!

I love these two.  Every time we get together we just sit and laugh for hours.  They were high school sweethearts that broke up but got back together after a few years apart. They are getting married this September!

We met in Coronado and explored new areas that I have never been to!

Can’t wait for your wedding!

xoxo, M

My second engagement shoot in Chicago took place downtown, starting at Buckingham Fountain.  Rosy and Andy are getting married this coming July in Rockford, IL.  I can’t wait for their wedding the location is going to be awesome!

Rosy and Andy kept me laughing the entire time, including singing I’m On A Boat word for word.  ”I got my swim trunks and my flippy-floppies”  haha

There was lots of laughing during the shoot!

Beautiful

It did get a little windy and cold as the sun went down!

Favorite <3

It was great getting to know you two!  See you in a few months!

xoxo, M

I love shooting in new locations.  I love shooting in new locations that are located outside of So Cal even more!  When Janice and Andrew decided to switch their venue and date to Las Vegas in May, they told me I was coming with and I couldn’t have been more ecstatic!   These two started as clients but have grown in to friends.  They are awesome and I wish them the best of luck in their marriage (even though they didn’t bring me to Jamaica on their honeymoon with them!  just kidding!)  

Here is a glimpse from their wedding this past Sunday!

The day started at the MGM Grand with some details

When I came in, Maid of Honor Michelle was writing out her toast

Janice was so calm the entire time…nothing like the Bridezilla she claimed to be!

GORGEOUS!

Cutest flower girls

MGM does not allow outside photographers to shoot wedding there, you have to use their staff.  So I turned in to a “guest” at that point, and had a great angle!

We didn’t take a ton of portraits on Sunday…we saved our energy for their awesome Trash the Dress session the following day (blog coming soon)!

Handsome Andrew

Here is the guest book that I made for them, everyone loved it!

They are so sweet together, you can tell by their first dance

Time to party!

Love the city lights!

Stay tuned for Part two of this blog, the day after!

Enjoy your slideshow!
