Frances and Mike (who had 2 awesome engagement sessions) got married in Los Angeles at the gorgeous venue Vibiana. It was the perfect setting for their glamorous and fun wedding. Thanks to Frances’ awesome attention to detail, DIY touches, and Jenn Yamauchi’s excellent coordinating skillz this wedding was fabulous! They even built a rockin photo frame wall to use with our photobooth and to make it totally them!

This year has been so amazing for us here at MWP! We started the year by getting married ourselves (woo woo!) and then went on to shoot the weddings of over 50 super rad couples. We added two amazing people to our crew who also happen to be husband+wife… We are sure a more formal introduction will follow soon. :)
We can’t believe how quick 2012 flew by but we are so excited because 2013 has some epically awesome things in store for us!!!
Since no MWP post would be complete without at least one photo of one of our awesome couples, here’s a photo that we think really illustrates how we feel as we look back at the blessings of 2012 and the very exciting beginning of 2013:

Happy New Year to you too :)
Wow, it’s really cooled down here in Southern California over the past few days which makes for a perfect time to post this cozy fall engagement session. Hannah and Kent are too freaking adorable together and are absolutely each others perfect match. We had an awesome time strolling around in the fall leaves with them and cracking up pretty much the whole time. We also constantly were gushing over how ADORABLE they are together.

Cool stuff! I like the natural, warm colors.
Very creative and in fashion. Last one is a winner for me although the one underneath where he is playing the guitar is equally good!
Love the colours and everything just comes together so nicely in each image, and those extra touches really add to the feel. Nicely done.
Oh, man! The hits just keep on comin’! We feel like broken records always talking about how much we love our couples and how blessed we are to get to hang out with such awesome people on their wedding days. SERIOUSLY though, Tina + Tim are such a rad couple! We had a blast shooting with them at their Long Beach engagement session (can you find the ode to their engagement session in the wedding photos??) and we were SO excited to shoot their wedding in San Clemente. We had so much fun shooting their wedding that even a random bird attack couldn’t dampen our spirits. Yes, you read that right. A very protective bird straight-up dive-bombed Joe just before the ceremony! Notwithstanding the terrifying efforts of that ferocious fowl, good times were had! Tina + Tim’s love for one another just spills out of them so much that it is inspiring. It also seemed like every single person at their wedding absolutely adored the two of them. I mean, it’s not surprising at all since we absolutely adore them too, but still… In short, it was a day overflowing with rad. Period.

Wonderful color and lighting; your white balance is spot on every time. Excellent photojournalistic captures. Looks like it was a fun day.
This looks like such a fun wedding! I love the energy you capture, great images!!
These are amazing photographs, they all have their own personality and the couple is absolutely beautiful. Great work!
