Jalisha & Mason get married!


On 10/17, I had the honor of seeing my youngest niece get married to the love of her life. My gift to her was to photograph her getting ready before the wedding, and she just looked so gorgeous! I am definitely the cryer in my family, and I am always asked: "How do you do this professionally when you cry so much?" I can't help it! I am a Cancer and VERY sensitive. Seriously, you should have seen me at my nephew's, her only brother's , wedding in July. But I was there to see her and her bridesmaids getting ready, her mother (my sister), and her future mother-in-law hanging out, and it was just really nice. As a photographer for 16 years, it is super rare that I am a guest at a wedding. This was definitely a nice change of pace. And again, I could not get over just how beautiful she looked! She truly looked like a princess. And it was such a lovely day! The weather was perfect, the ceremony and reception were amazing, and it was just a great time overall!


Congratulations to the NEW Mr. & Ms. Mason & Jalisha Blue!
