For the last 365 days Raquel has written a note or a letter in her journal to Mario for his gift on their wedding day. This is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Their love is like no other love that I have ever witnessed.

I knew from their engagement session Mario was in love with Raquel. He was like her protector. He was willing to do whatever she wanted. He wanted to make his birthday special for both of them so he decided to propose on his birthday. He always put her first.

I knew Raquel was an ML bride from day one. There was no convincing her. She loved our work and trusted us completely when it came to her engagement session & wedding. Mario is a perfect example of the ideal ML groom. He enjoyed watching our videos and always encouraged us with awesome comments. We appreciate both of your trust and love for our craft.

Raquel works with the Fairy Godmother Foundation, so I knew this wedding was going to be special. It was such a beautiful wedding with perfect design style and unique details. You can so tell Raquel’s a fairy. When we arrived she a had a big box all organized with all her details. #Goals

They had tent frames with beautiful white draping. I have never seen this done before. Not to mention chandeliers hanging from the top of the tent. It was really nice. They had a mixture of farm tables and elegant round tables very cute. All the details were perfect. I loved the plum, blush pink, and gold accents. If I could have shot details for an hour I would have been just fine with it. Great job vendor team!!!

Raquel & Mario, I hope you guys are enjoying your honeymoon in Thailand. We love you guys!!! It was an honor to document your love and your special day. We are always here for you, and to welcome you to our family. I am super excited to see you guys begin this new chapter in your lives. May the Lord bless you and your marriage with many years of happiness, love, and laughter.
