I promised the kids that our shoot would take ten minutes.

When your aunt is a photographer, it’s kind of required that you put up with her picture taking about once a year.

What I did NOT expect was how much they would love it.

But you can’t really tell that from the photos…. can you? :)

Mel and José - it’s our perfect photo shoot! Please tell your kiddos thanks for indulging me on all 21 minutes. Love you!! :)

When a fellow photographer plans her own wedding, you know it will be easy to shoot.

From the hand selected photo locations…

(Including this gorgeous green wall across from their home!)

To the favorite alleyway chosen for the 2.5 minute ceremony…

(No for real guys, it was TWO AND A HALF MINUTES. Talk about efficient.)

To the lovely moments they shared with their daughter, friends, and family.

They’ve built their life together on these streets.

More than just beautiful places for photographs… this is their home. Their shared world.

And now they get to share that world together forever.

Barb and Kris - I adore you guys. Thank you SO much for having me photograph such a special piece of your lives. I love love love seeing you both so happy. You deserve it. <3 XOXO
