Marijo and I always enjoy capturing weddings. But there is something especially gratifying in photographing the special moments of someone we know personally.

Mario and Marissa had the cutest love story: they were high school sweethearts. At first, Mario would playfully tease Marissa in their home economics class. He tried to play it cool, but she could see through his jokes and pranks. He had a crush on her. Things progressed naturally from there and they began to date.

Now, my family has been close to Mario’s for many years. I’ve seen him transform from the gangly young prankster he was to the handsome man he is now, albeit still a prankster. So for the life of me I didn’t know what Marissa saw in the sly rogue! Ok, in seriousness, from the get-go they complimented each other very well. It was natural as air for them to be together. They dated for a number of years before they were married. And you can see in the photos below, in that knowing look as they gaze into each others eyes, the the love they share has only grown.
