This wedding at San Luis Obispo Mission was an absolute dream to capture! Claire and Mario were so down to earth and were willing to do anything. They were trusting of me to be creative with their romantic wedding portraits and I think we nailed them! Because they were so open and trusting, it allowed me to be creative and capture more portraits. They had such a simple wedding but it was absolutely gorgeous. They made sure they had extra portrait time in their wedding timeline so we were able to get creative with what we shot! Come read more about Claire and Mario’s love story and see how their day turned out!

Claire + Mario’s Love Story | A Romantic Wedding in California

“We meet on Bumble and started dating very soon after college. We were both just in SLO for a
little bit – then stayed for 2 years! Now we’re in NYC and happily engaged!

Mario proposed on a private boat tour on the island of Milos in Greece. It was beautiful and honestly more perfect that the bride could have imagined. Mario had the ring custom made after the brides favorite design, and the boat captain took us to a beautiful cove where Mario proposed. Greece is the Brides favorite country. (he bought the ring about 6 months before we took this trip, and he waited so long because he know how much I would love to get engaged there)”
