Wedding Shoot Vlog from Lucia Marie on Vimeo.

This Saturday, I shot a wedding. My first ever. It was delightful and stressful and exhausting and traumatic and exciting and wonderful and totally unlike anything I could have imagined, all at the same time. I don't think I would have survived without Starbucks, either--just saying. Oh, and also MANY thanks to my sister, Olivia (who is a pretty familiar face around here, dontchaknow), for being our official chauffeur for the day. Raquel and I only felt our youth in that point. 

There were mishaps. A lot of them. And, as I said in the Vlog, I almost had a heart attack at one point. But, we both made it out alive and smiling, if a little sleep-deprived, and we'll have a follow-up post chock full of our mistakes and adventures (and the fruit of our labor) up soon. 

For now, I'll just let the photos and video speak for themselves--but I'm positive Raquel would agree that three words pretty much summed up the wedding day: coffee, just-keep-smiling-just-keep-smiling, and rush. Oh, yeah, and granola bars. Those were pretty vital (okay, so that was more like a paragraph, but you get the picture...)

Let's just say I'm head over heels for wedding photography, and I'm stoked for what the future holds. And love is pretty. Amen. 

xo,
lucia

p.s. (thank you all so much for your prayers & thoughts regarding the day! my facebook was full of sweet notes which made me smile--and your comments on my last post were so sweet. love you all!)

p.p.s. (yeahhh, I'm kinda weird in the videos. let's blame that on excitement + sleep deprivation, okay? okay.)

  20. As I sit here on my chaise lounge with my soft blanket on my legs and a neat bun on top my head, I cant help comment to tell you that I LOVE when I see some foolish, Jesus-obsessed freak like you that visits Starbucks. Did you know that Starbucks donates MILLIONS to support gay marriage? So that makes your little java addiction quite hypocritical, doncha think?
    PS - your pictures are terrible and you have VERY bad acne. Pray for Mommy to take you to a dermatologist so they can fix your pimple face.

  24. These photos were stunning! I was totally stoked when I saw you guys shot a wedding together. I follow both your blogs, and I think it's pretty cool that you guys were able to meet up :)
    And yes, I would have probably counted on Starbucks to get me through. It's pretty much a life saver.
    As I said, these photos were just wonderful. I really loved number 6. It was beautiful!
