This love story took 20 years to make in final, but it was one big celebration! All the family and friends showered this couple and the dance floor was hopping.

Arriving to Meghan and Cole's home the weather was sunny day a bit beyond humid but it is July. Thunderstorms were in the forecast but there was a tent all set up and the altar was underneath so we were prepared!

We're PREGNANT! This journey has been so very long and we are thrilled to announce this news. It comes after years of ectopic pregnancies, miscarriages and one failed IVF round in the fall of 2020. Of course nothing worth having comes easy and so far as been the most special experience of my life. I just can't wait until she comes and I can hold her in my arms. I will just literally lose my mind with excitement!

Henry Park in Vernon was the perfect choice for this shoot because what it means to the couple. I always encourage picking a place that means something to your relationship.

The spring blooms have flourished and turned into beautiful greens and time spent outside!

Spring has sprung this March and it was well needed after some frigid winter temps!

he lucky couple that won my Valentine's Day giveaway session was Amylia and Rob who are my October couple getting married in Massachusetts. They were referred by my friend Courtney and already had their engagement session with her. I was sad that I wouldn't get to see or photograph them until then because I could tell from our Zoom consult that they were so fun. It must've been fate!

Some of you may or may not know but I love boudoir. I set up an Instagram account for my work @ohboudior_bymariel and I think that is one of the best 2021 moves I've made so far.
