Here are a few of my favorites from the morning shoot around the MGM pool.

My favorite shot of the day!

I loved this red wall so we did a mock-photobooth and these two had no problem rockin’ it for the camera!

Cannot wait for your wedding (so soon!)  Thanks for being awesome models and clients!

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)!
