Talk about a cold but beautiful day for my final gorgeous bride of 2019! As much as I don’t understand the desire to have a winter wedding, I do have to love the nods to Christmas and some stunning venues. (and the fact that I get to shoot in 3 layers of clothes and cold weather gear :D) Victoria did the most beautiful job of working through some stressful setbacks. I love seeing these two clocking in the years and now a perfect ceremony. Happy to watch them in my Facebook feed for years and years to come! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Mejia and their beautiful family!
