A long, long time ago we shot Tarahca and Greg’s wedding, our very first Mathieu Photography clients. Since that day almost 6 and half years ago Tarahca and Greg and her family, the Gibsons, have been such amazing supporters of us. They referred Tara and Andrew to us and again, we are so grateful! Tara and Andrew came down from Mammoth Lakes to get married at the beautiful, Pala Mesa Resort. We had a great time with them and their friends! They all partied and had a great time. The “Can’t Touch This” dances were the highlight of my night, who doesn’t love some MC Hammer?! We also got to work with Bryan Thrane of Pacific Entertainment, he was so fun to work with! If you’re engaged and looking for a DJ check him out!

Dude, Seong & Kristin are good looking, fun and were so much fun to shoot. The best part of this job is meeting new people and learning about them. We had such a good time hanging out at the beach, even though the sun wasn’t really out. We can’t wait for their wedding. Enjoy the photos.

Since our sweet sweet baby Lucy is now about 6 months old I suppose I should get this post up. This pregnancy was a little bit different for us (Molly) this time around, having two kids under 3 while being preggo takes its toll. So once we finally got to the big game we had already had a rough false labor and Molly was tired. Molly received an epidural this time around, it proved to be the best option for us. We still tried to keep the process as natural as possible, no pitocin, no forceps or c-sections…The best part about our experience came from our wonderful nurse Michelle. I worked with Michelle years ago at Red Robin and somehow our paths magically crossed again right at Molly’s cervix. It was so great to have a nurse we were so comfortable with and one who was personally invested in getting the best experience out of our birth, she took care of us like we were family (she’s so awesome I bet she treats everyone this great).  Anyway, the baby came out, like they always do…and once again we had yet to confirm a name. After we sat and cuddled the new edition to our family in the wee hours of the morning, we landed on Lucy Grace. Our little one that came relatively quietly into the world seems to continue this demeanor, she just sleeps and smiles. The biggest smiles I’ve ever seen. As far as we are concerned at this point, our family is full. We are so blessed to have such wonderful healthy children.

The world is an ever shrinking place for us. Matt and I went to high school with that gorgeous blonde below. Megan and I danced together for years and, as most do, lost touch after graduation. Wouldn’t you know it, this amazing wedding industry brought us back together. We met up last year over a yummy lunch at Rutabegorz and chatted about balancing all things mom/wife/work. I am so lucky to have strong women to toss ideas around with and be encouraged by. We are so excited to work with Megan this summer! And how stinkin’ cute is Beckham!? That face!! We were so excited to photograph Megan and her family and watch them so obviously enjoy one another’s company. Family is a precious thing and they’re one precious family!

Well folks, it’s time for another wonderful year of weddings!! We were so excited to shoot Rachel and Kenji’s BIG day! We LOVE our clients because they just ooze adorable, tangible love for each other. These two were so excited to see each other and party together! Their ceremony was lovely. The minister was Rachel’s dad and her mom spoke the most beautiful blessing over the two of them. (I cried, obvi.) And their friends and family were so much fun! The dance floor was packed and Matt and I were even given special champagne!! The bridal party was so kind to us!
Rachel and Kenji, it was an honor. Your wedding was the perfect start to our 2013 season!!
