Handlery Hotel Wedding – {Aaron + Katie} – Photos by Mandi

Photos by Mandi Contreras, Associate Photographer

I’m soooo excited to finally share this wedding by Mandi! This may be one of my favorite weddings by her, ever! This wedding was featured on the awesome blog, Bridal Musings. To see even more photos and read words from the bride herself, click here.

Words from Katie: Mandi of Melissa McClure Photography had an exceptional portfolio and meeting with her was just amazing. She timed everything just right, she was practically my coordinator! She kept me on time and she captured the most special moments. I’m really awkward when taking pictures because I never know what to do, but she made me feel so comfortable. She was my rock. I couldn’t have done it without her!

And now on to the beautiful images by Mandi….
