Kelsi's Bridal Portraits Part II

Yesterday was perfect. A sweet and small and simple and beautiful ceremony with Kelsi + Matt's closest friends and family. It was everything a wedding should be and nothing it shouldn't be. And all of it was absolutely gorgeous. We're off to enjoy the rest of last night's mojito's while sitting by the pool and curing our post-shooting-a-wedding hangover...ironic that we're doing so with a mojito, no?!

Florida, you're not so bad.

Kelsi, I know I spent a long morning begging and pleading and promising my first born, but thank you for finally agreeing to try this fabulous red lipstick. It's absolutely perfect - just like you.

Happy Wednesday, Michelle

Kelsi's Bridal Portraits Part I

This pretty lady is getting married today!! While I will be shooting her wedding with one super sexy, ever handsome man named Colton, I think we get special privileges for being related to the bride. Including, but not limited to, having a few mojitos during cocktail hour and break dancing during the reception. Kelsi is in the other room getting ready and while I'm just about to join her, I thought today would be the perfect time to show the world these bridal portraits. Since Kelsi + Matt are having a destination wedding, I know there are a few handfuls of people who wish they could be joining us today. Here's a peak at the vintage strapless dress the bride will be wearing - worn last by her grandmother in the 1950's.

Happy Wedding Day, Kelsi + Matt.

Check back tomorrow for part II of Kelsi's bridal session.

Del Mar Horse Races

Remember that hypothetical Bucket List from a few months back? Well, when I found out San Diego county had real, live, living horse races, Del Mar made a bee line for the top of that list. At the end of the summer, on an afternoon when my dad was visiting, we made the quick drive down the Five to the race track. I'll admit I am a horrible gambler. Really, it's like pulling teeth to get me to bet two dollars on a horse race. But with my dad's money encouragement, I made a few small guesses as to which horse would pull through for the win.

And then I lost all six of my dollars. ...my dad's dollars.

Happy Tuesday,

Michelle
