Traveling has been a passion of mine since I got my first passport at 6 months old (no joke!) I sat on my moms lap and made gaga sounds at the photographer. I started traveling alone at age 6 to visit my Aunt in Missouri every Summer. I haven't stopped since. Where I go, my camera follows. I love experiencing new places and capturing each one in my own way.
I’ve known Cristina for awhile through Facebook, she has been a fan of my work for awhile. What’s even cooler is that both she and Carlos are photographers, which makes me extra nervous during a shoot! These two were so natural in front of the camera, even though they are used to being behind!
Oh and Cristina and I share a hairdresser too – Audra Rene! Audra worked her magic for this shoot as well!
These two have a really cute story about how they met! Carlos needed a model to practice his photography and got in touch with Cristina. They met in person for the first time at this fountain in Balboa Park! Awwwww
They did this move with no prodding from me! Awesome! 🙂
Unfortunately I am out of town for their wedding, by my trusty sidekick, Mandi will be photographing it next month!!
Can’t wait to see the photos!
xo, M
I really love the black and white picture, where he has her head in his hands and they are about to kiss. Total romantic picture and captured perfectly by you! WAY TO GO!!!! Not saying I don’t love the rest, but this picture totally spoke to me!
