I love my couples.  Not just love, I abosultely adore my couples and feel like the luckiest girl in the world sometimes to get to meet such awesome people year after year.  It’s just a total bonus that they actually pay me to be around. HA!

See what Mike and Molly brought me, Mandi and Allison on their engagment shoot?  Mike made them for us since their shoot was on Valentine’s Day!  And they were so yummy!

It was totally Molly’s idea to rent a Surrey Bike to ride around in front of Hotel Del. Shout out to Molly’s parents for helping us and schmoozing the rental company for the free bike!

How adorable are these two!?  I cannot wait for their July wedding!

Another reason I love my couples…they go along with some crazy ideas I have!  We jumped on the PACKED (it was Valentine’s Day, remember) Coronado Ferry to ride across and shoot photos.

This may be my favorite photos of the day. Something really natural and organic about it…

See? Crowded, standing room only…or should I say kissing room only?

The love these two have are contagious!  In case I didn’t say it enough before, I adore them 🙂

Those who know me, know that I love to network!  I take after my Mother and can talk to pretty much anyone…and I do!  I first heard of Exquisite Blooms when my bride Sally hired her as the florist at her November wedding.  Then I found out I would be working with Sally (from Exquisite Blooms) again last month at Sara and Mike’s wedding and I knew I had to meet her!  Her work is beautiful!  She is total sweetheart too. We got to chat and shoot some fun, relaxed headshots for her website.

And just a few samples of her awesome work!

I had such a great time hanging out Sally! Let’s do it again soon!

Last Thursday Mandi and I attended the Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club open house.  It’s an awesome location that doesn’t get much attention.   The reception room is absolutely gorgeous with huge windows overlooking the golf course!

This was our first time attending any sort of bridal fair of any kind.  It was a learning experience for sure!  We met some really awesome vendors too.  I didn’t bring my regular camera so I had someone snap a quick photo with my point and shoot camera!

Just wanted to give you a sneak peek of a session I will be blogging next week and wish you all a Happy Valentine’s Day. No big plans at the McClure-Selenak household, but I do have an engagement shoot today with two lovebirds!

Enjoy your day!

xo, M

I’ll be here tonight along with Mandi if you have any questions or would like to meet us!
