Bridal Shoot at Ravella

The new year has come and January is almost over. I have rested and I am so excited for this wedding season. This is our first year being part of the Bridal Show industry and we are excited to meet amazing local brides. Since we have become part of Bridal Spectacular family. Every year they get together and have models get all dressed up for us in amazing gowns and we get to photograph them. This year we went to Ravella. Which by the way there are so many beautiful hidden spots in this hotel. I cannot express how gorgeous this images turned out. I absolutely love taking the time for me and shooting for me. I will have to say I could have photographed Alex all day. She is one of the girls that are just beautiful inside and out.

Here are all the people that made it happen:

Dress: Vera Wang from Davids Bridal
Venue: Ravella, A Dolce Hotel
Hair and Make-up: Amelia C & Co
Photography: Mindy Bean Photography

We can’t wait to see all of you at the Bridal Spectacular we are in booth #338.

 

Till next time, M

katherine - Beautiful! I enjoyed my time spent on your lovely blog. Hugs!

Merry Christmas To All!!

My family and I have so many things to be thankful for this year. We have met so many amazing people through photography this year. A big thank you to all of our brides and grooms this year. I know we have built many relationships that will last a life time. We are also grateful for all the vendors we have worked with. We have received so much support from family and friends that it makes me speechless. I just can’t begin to express our gratitude.

I believe this year has been one of my favorites. With my girls growing up so fast and our business blossoming (which we never thought it would grow this fast). We are looking forward to the amazing things we have coming next year. We are bringing on some amazing new associates, and new tips and tricks for those of you starting out in photography.

We are in Idaho to celebrate Christmas with Doug’s family and wanted to get some fun photos of us while we were here. Unfortunately it was 18 Degrees at 2:00pm while we were taking photos. Which really didn’t seem that cold until I looked at my kids fingers and they were bright red. I’m happy to say my children made it without frost bite on their poor little fingers. Bribery of Pop Rocks and Hot Coco helped them get through it.  The only thing I wanted for Christmas, but isn’t what every photographer wants,  a great picture of my family to hang. Well it isn’t a master piece and we only had the self timer thanks to wireless trigger going out half way through the shoot.  I love it, it is who we are.  Plus the last picture is an award winning photo in my eyes.  That is a defiantly a keeper.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!!!!

P.S. Doug will probably kill me for saying this but oh well, while we were shooting he kept looking around. Finally I asked him why he was looking around and he says, “I don’t want any of my friends to drive by and see what I’m wearing.” HAHAH . I think he looked hot. Plus I dressed him.

Well ya’ll I am sounding off till next year. Thanks again for all the support!

Till next year, M

Colin + Carlee Las Vegas Strip Wedding

There is not a better way to end  the year then with a full blown Elvis wedding. I normally don’t photograph weddings in December but after Colin called me and express how much he loved my work I couldn’t say no. He said he wouldn’t disappoint and when I arrived to his hotel room he surely didn’t.  Colin and Carlee went all out with the Pink Cadillac , powder blue suit and Elvis by their side, it was sure to be a fun wedding.

Colin if you ever decided to have a boy band this can be the cover.:)

Carlee hands down I love the vibe you set from the time I walked in the door.

Colin is a lucky guy.This picture was hand held at slow shutter of 4 seconds. That’s how I roll.

Till next time, M

Audrey - Crazy about the last one ! Wonderful picture !

Gerard + Hyon are married

I have to start with the shoes. All girls love shoes and I think I love shoes more then everyone else. As a wedding photographer I get to see all of these amazing shoes. Hands down these are my favorite. The gold color photograph beautifully.

I am so glad when Doug is with me. Half of the time Doug is the one tying all the guys ties. So if you cant tie a tie b.c you are to nervous don’t worry Doug can do it.

Love this one of Hyon and Gerard. Totally fits their personalities.

Ok ya’ll this is my favorite, the vibe and romantic atmosphere is what I love.

Hyon and Gerard thank you for letting me be a part of your beautiful day. You guys were more then fun but an amazing couple to hang out with. Thanks for letting Doug and I be part of your big day.

Till next time, M



Darren + Priya Indian Wedding

4 outfit changes, 2 ceremonies and a whole lot of dancing and celebrating is Darren and Priya’s wedding in a nutshell. I had not photographed a traditional Indian wedding ceremony before. But I have always wanted to to because of all the colors and details.  I love seeing other cultures and traditions. Lets just say your wedding blew me away with everything. These beautiful photographs speak for themselves. Thank you so much for letting me be part of your big day!

Special thank to a couple of the Vendors

Makeup/hair: by LaVey Ortiz and Janine Cali http://yourbeautycall.com/

Venue and decor: Melissa Lindsey Canyon Gate Country Club

I love first looks!

So when the guys were willing to jump for me I knew then this was going to be a fun bridal party.

Priya you are breathtaking. I love this photo

Darren and Priya are dancing to their first dance and then the music changed and the whole bridal party rushed to the floor and started dancing. Then they break out to a mob dance. If you have never seen this before go you tube it. I loved it.

Ok so dad gets up to for a speech and the first thing he says is, Hi I’m dad and I write the checks. Thanks Dad;)Can I just say everyone in the floor was laughing.

 

Till next time, M
