Kirsten and Brett’s Wedding Invites!

Yesterday I arrived at the Post Office to find a little surprise in my mail box!  It was Kirsten and Brett’s beautiful wedding invitations! 

Kirsten is one of my best friends from College and I have the honor of shooting her wedding next month in Peoria, IL.  You may remember their engagement photos last September.

These invites fit their personality perfectly.  When I wrote her and told her I got them and they look great she responded with: “Your photo was the inspiration”.  Every photographer wants to hear that! 🙂

Can’t wait to get back to the town I lived in for 7 years during and after College!  And of course shoot their wedding!  Check back late June to see some amazing photos from their wedding!

XOXO, M

Chrystal and Ernie are married!

On April 12th, I got the chance to shoot with the fantabulous Kristi Klemens of KLK Photography.   We had so much fun!  The lovely bride and groom Chrystal and Ernie were married at the Clarke Estate in Santa Fe Springs.  What a gorgeous old home, turned landmark!  I loved it there!

Since I haven’t posted a lot lately, this will be a major post! 

Meet Ernie.  I got to hang out with him and his buddies before the ceremony.

Ernie got a little emotional practicing his vows!  I had tears too.

Brandon + Stacy are married!

 Wedding season is here!  I had my first wedding of the year on April 5th at the Lake San Marcos Resort.  Stacy and Brandon joined their lives together in front of a close group of friends and family.  It was a little chilly and quite overcast, but nothing dampened the spirit of these two lovebirds!

A sweet note from Laura and Brian

I picked up my mail late last night and was stoked to see a handwritten card from Laura and Brian!  They were my Dec 07 bride and groom!  I have the best clients ever!

What a cute card!  You might recognize that photo from my Blog header too!

Thank you for the sweet note and awesome Yard House gift card!  Tim and I can’t wait to go use it!  You two rock and I hope all is going well in Texas!

XOXO
