  • Being surrounded by weddings all the time, you’d think we’d be love experts by now. But the truth is, we are far from that. Marriage is constant work, so we always seek to find ways to improve it. We recently took the 5 Love Languages quiz and it was a huge eye opener. This quiz is designed to figure out how you like to receive love from your partner. For starters, we learned that Vic likes Quality Time such as no interruptions and just being together. Sasha likes Physical Touch - we’re talking about hand holding, pats on the back, hugging, etc. By better understanding our partners love language, we learn how to acknowledge and reciprocate the love we share in ways that will strengthen and fortify our love. We recommend any couple to take the quiz together and find out their love language. Take the quiz over at 5lovelanguages.com Just fill out your info and you’ll be on your way to understanding each other better, in more ways than one.

  • Change can be scary (insert Halloween pun) but it doesn't have to be. We are given so many opportunities in a day to make little changes that pile into great big accomplishments if we can just find a little courage to do so. It has been said that when a persimmon appears in our lives, we are being asked to make the necessary choices to achieve our goals. Think of them as life call to action to make your dreams a reality. So, if you were waiting for a sign to get started on those changes, here it is, right smack on your timeline. Your 2020 self will be thankful you did. 🧡

  • We delight in the beauty of seeing two people come together to share a tender moment on their wedding day. Ana and Oscar are two high school sweethearts who did just that. Making sure we capture these fleeting moments on the big day is so important! For those are the moments that will turn it into a memory. ❤️

  • It seems like only yesterday we took the leap of faith that brought us into this world of self employment. The angst and worry that comes with such a huge decision isn’t something easily forgotten. So we try our best to acknowledge that feeling every day and humble ourselves in the fact that we are blessed to do what we love for a living. There was a time this journey was only a dream, one which if whispered too loudly would not come true; or so we thought. The road wasn’t easy, it was certainly filled with bumps and hardships, but we can honestly tell you that when you finally reach the point you can look back and admire the journey, you’ll be glad you took a chance on yourself. Thanks to everyone who has made this adventure so incredible, we have so much more to offer you.

  • 🤵🏻 Name a more iconic duo, we’ll wait. 🐆 Mark was on a whole other level of debonair for his wedding day. Channeling his inner 007 next to the McLaren we could tell this man was in a hurry to marry his stunning fiancé! Let’s show some love for all the grooms out there, you gentlemen carry yourself oh so well!

  • A little different from what we normally post on our feed, but we cannot handle ourselves with this princess/unicorn themed session cuteness! 😭💜 We try and make our sessions feel relaxed and laid back as possible to get raw, natural photos! Most of the time, we let the kids take the lead and just follow them around and take their photos. Because let’s face it, no kid wants to sit still and get forced to smile for their photos amiright? 😂 Thank you to our wonderful friend, Griselda for trusting us with Adela’s 4th birthday portraits, we had so much fun! 💕

  • The “In Between” moments make the biggest impact on love. When we allow ourselves to become vulnerable to love wholly. This is where love grows and sets unshakeable roots. We stole Mark and Hillary away from their reception for a few minutes during sunset to give them this opportunity to put their love on full display. Simply breathtaking! 🥰😍

  • Some things just pair well together and can’t be explained. Like fruit and Tajin, cuddling with a ton of blankets in a freezing cold room, or like dipping French fries in your milk shake (we see you, and we won’t judge. 😉)That’s a perfect representation of us, Sasha the introvert, Vic the extrovert. We balance each other out. It’s a beautiful blend of both personalities that allows us to grow and learn each day in marriage and business and we wouldn’t have it any other way. 💙

  • Happy happy Monday my beautiful people! I used to dread Mondays, but now, Monday is starting to become my favorite day of the week. There’s something refreshing about starting the week on a clean slate. We usually use Monday’s to plan out the rest our week and of course I get to catch up on Bachelor in Paradise later🌹I can’t be the only one who actually likes Monday’s. Anyone else with me? 🙈
