Engaged // Miranda & Rick // Newport Beach

I realize it has been WAY too long since I last blogged...! Time has truly flown by over the past few months. Between moving apartments, shooting a variety of fun projects, and working on re-structuring my website/brand (changes are a coming!), this little blog has taken a backseat! Hopefully you've been following along with me on Instagram (@marycostaphoto), but if not, hello!! I'm still with you!

Luckily, today I'm back with a super sweet engagement session. Miranda and Rick are such fun, and so in love. She's from Canada, he's from Newport Beach, and they met while Miranda was in the OC for an internship with an art museum. Despite times of long distance, they overcame the challenges and are even stronger because of them! Their engagement session was full of constant laughter, true joy, and clear mutual admiration for one another. We kicked things off by the boats in Newport Harbor and then went down to the beach for a gorgeous sunset. I'm so excited to capture Miranda & Rick's wedding this August!

Married // Kyle & Rich // New Hampshire

Kyle and Rich got married on an absolutely perfect autumn day in New Hampshire. Their ceremony was one of the sweetest I've ever heard, and there wasn't a dry eye during their exchange of vows! These two high school sweethearts are such a delight to be around - they truly make each other light up with joy. I first met them while photographing Rich's older sister's wedding, and I absolutely adore his entire family, their enthusiasm, and their awesome dance moves. It was truly such a treat documenting another set of family nuptials! Here are some favorites from Kyle and Rich's wedding at Zorvino Vineyards!
