Maria's Bridal Shower Peek 1...

I had the wonderful opportunity to be a part of Maria's special day! And how special it was. Maria and her fiance' are getting married in beautiful and WARM Hawaii. So this was a wonderful opportunity for her to spend time and celebrate with those that will not be attending the wedding!

The day was filled with happiness, love, laughter, friends and family and even a couple tears! This group of women are as beautiful on the inside as they are on the outside! I truly had the.best time shooting this wonderful event.

This is only a handful of the shots I've edited so far. There are many more to come!

Maria made these beautiful party favors for her guests to take home. Her fiance' is an amazing cook so they were creative and very fitting...




The center pieces were so lovely and I think I took too many pictures of them because I was so inspired...


The tables were beautiful...


Here is the bride to be and my best friend Rachael...the "MAID" of honor! :}

To texture or not to texture...THAT is the question. I loved this shot without the textures {top} but also loved it with the textures {below} so I kept both...

Thank you Maria for allowing me to be a part of your special day and to capture your moments. I truly hope you enjoy the pictures and I wish you and Melvin the most beautiful wedding and life together! I can't wait to see your Hawaii pictures!
