Unplugged ceremonies are becoming more and more common. As a photographer, bride, and wedding guest I love them. They help guests focus on what is actually happening rather than getting the best photo or video of your ceremony. This is the moment you are actually getting married after all.

I have decided to start a little series of venue tours on the blog! Each one will feature one of my favorite wedding venues in the area. My hope is that future Marie Medina Couples will be able to see some of the top places to get married. First up is our wedding venue: Cameron […]

It can seem daunting to pick where you will have your portrait session, but it really doesn’t have to be! I know that you may be worried because you don’t know what will ‘look the best,’ but it’s my job to worry about that. It’s your job to have fun, relax, and feel like the […]

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I asked you all if you wanted a post about some key questions and things to be thinking about when you are looking at vendors for your wedding. In fact, you probably were one of the people who unanimously voted “YES BLOG ABOUT IT!” Well…it’s here! […]

You know what’s so awesome about #MarieMedinaCouples? EVERYTHING. But especially how much they care about making my job easier on their wedding day!
