Bridal Packets | Behind the Scenes at the Office

Marisol Roten February 21, 2014

I thought it would be nice to share with you a peek at what my bridal packets look like since I feel very proud of the love and craftsmanship I put into creating them. After a late lunch with my parents earlier today, I thought I'd step into the office and get some photos of these packets done before I mailed them off. Setting the layout and snapping the photos would be fairly quick and effortless.

Then I remembered my Abigail was awake.

After a few minutes, I finally thad the images I was aiming for and a quick job was finally finished. As a business owner, all the responsibilities land on my shoulders to take care of. Not only am I the photographer, but I am also in charge of the business aspect, and, because of my inherent nature, I am also director of creativity. The latter is definitely my most favorite job title aside from photographer. I enjoy expressing my creativity and love making pretty things.

Anyway, I put all my love into these little packets and two of them went off in the post this afternoon. There is some pretty-ness headed your way Texas and Massachusetts!

My sweet little one is always two steps behind me, everywhere I go. I tell my husband that sometimes I am trying to meet a deadline and when I finally get her to nap, all I want to do is wake her up because I miss her. Motherhood, so sweet isn't it? Yes, yes it is. Getting my work done is much more complicated now and the office doesn't last clean longer than a day but I have the best mini-me assistant with me 24 hours a day. I am blessed.

Happy Friday!

Cecilia + Carlos Rancho Genesis Engagement | Mission, Texas

Marisol Roten February 18, 2014

Bright and early on a sunny but chilly morning last month, I had the opportunity to finally meet Carlos, Cecilia's fiancé. After meeting Cecilia a year ago, I have been anxiously awaiting the day we'd photograph her engagement photos. The worth was well worth it! Cecilia chose a beautiful and peaceful ranch in Mission, Texas to serve as the backdrop for her session. Both Cecilia and Carlos are up to par on their wedding planning; Cecilia and her mom have been on a roll in checking things off in their to-do lists.

Cecilia is a firefighter and while not my first firefighter in a wedding couple, she is my first female firefighter. Way to go Cecilia! These two are so sweet together and I can't wait to see them all dressed to the nines on their wedding day. On a more aesthetic level, I am also anxious to see Cecilia's rustic dream wedding come to life.

Photographing them was so effortless and easy. I didn't have to provide much guidance and instead we enjoyed a chilly stroll through the premises. Besides from a mini-posse consisting of Cecilia's mom, friend, and myself, we were also graced with the personal tour from the resident ranch dog. So sweet.

Cecilia and Carlos, congratulations on your engagement! More importantly, best wishes as you enjoy the last few months of engagement bliss and enter the beautiful realm of married life. I look forward to the big day!

Happy Monday friends :)

Krystal + Mickey Cielo Banquet Hall Wedding | San Juan, Texas

Marisol Roten February 10, 2014

When I shared Krystal and Mickey's engagement photos back in early December, I may have mentioned that they had literally hired me for their wedding two weeks prior to their date. Believe it or not, this does not beat the record… I once had a bride hire me on a Thursday evening before her Saturday afternoon wedding! Krystal and Mickey planned a lovely wedding filled with lovely details, lots of love, and plenty of family and friends. I am delighted and honored that they chose me to photograph their celebration and it should be noted that it was a great wedding to end the 2013 season.

From the getting ready process until the fun-filled reception, this couple truly made me feel like more than a wedding vendor. I am so humbled to have such lovely and caring clients; Krystal and Mickey were no exception. This couple had a wedding filled with overjoyed hearts of guests so excited to see them wed. After a few years of dating, the newest Mr. and Mrs. are well on their way to living their very own happily ever after.

Krystal and Mickey, thank you so much for hiring me as your photographer. More importantly, thank you for making me feel just like one of your guests. You were exceptional to work with and I am delighted to have been able to document such an important moment in your lives. I wish you both a lifetime of health, love and happiness. On a side note, a big thank you to one of my summer 2014 brides for the highest of recommendation that secured me this last minute wedding… Thank you Vanessa!

Have a great week friends!
