Santa Monica Engagement Photography: Jane + Jorge

Jane and Jorge are the perfect compliment to one another. Jane is vivacious and outgoing and Jorge is relaxed and laid back and together they are insanely adorable and fun! We had a wonderful time photographing them in Santa Monica and an even better time with them at their beautiful Upper Las Virgenes Canyon wedding (coming up next on the blog!)

Dale Lempa - Cute, creative ideas for this engagement set. Nice work.

Mountain Gate Country Club Wedding: Caitlyn + Mike

Caitlyn and Mike are especially close to our hearts because like us they have what you might call “diverse perspectives” :)  Shorties and tall guys unite! We were able to share their beautiful Los Angeles wedding with them a while back and seriously loved their gorgeous day from starting at Caitlyns’ parents house for getting ready (and constantly being entertained by their ring bearer and flower girl!) to ending at the beautiful Mountain Gate Country Club.  Check out their lovely day!

Santa Rosa Valley Wedding: Laura + Travis

This is another awesome wedding from a little while back that I cannot believe we haven’t blogged yet! Laura and Travis are literally two of the most hilarious people we have met. They are SO super fun and easy going and they are incredibly talented voice actors to boot! Not only were Laura and Travis super fun, it seemed like everyone at the wedding was overflowing with awesome! We also loved adorable details (matching shoes, mismatched bridesmaids dresses, brooch bouquet and Star Wars cake toppers?! So fun).

San Diego Private Estate Wedding: Maura + Jeff

You may have noticed a flurry of new posts from us here at MWP (Which we pronounce as “Moop.” Now that you know that super piece of MWP trivia, your life has been enriched. You’re welcome). As we are winding down from the 2012 season and preparing for our 2013 wedding season we have been slapped with the realization that we had SO many weddings and engagements that we want to share with everyone! Since we get the opportunity to work with many, many, many awesome couples every year and we are always trying to get them their wedding photos as quickly as possible, we often don’t get a chance to post all of our work for everyone else to see. So one of our 2013 goals is to post more whenever we have a chance and we have a chance right now!!! So, hold on to your hats interwebs. Lots more posts are coming in the next couple weeks!

With that said, we are super-stoked to be sharing Maura and Jeff’s gorgeous 2011 San Diego private estate wedding with you today. These two super heroes of stylishness rented a gorgeous home on the beach for their small wedding and it turned out beautifully! This wedding had everything: laughter, love, an amadowergirl (You know. It’s that thing when you have an amazingly adorable flower girl). It was awesome. :)
