Monique and Ben Wedding

This was such an fun wedding! Monique and Ben are so cute together and their little girl is so adorable. It was my first bigger wedding since Covid hit and there were a lot of things that were a little different.

First, the ladies were in a little house getting ready and it was so cute! All the bridesmaids had fun robes that we had to take a few snaps in. Once ready, they loaded up on a party bus and headed towards the church.

Monique and Ben’s ceremony was held at St. Magdalene’s Church. I wasn’t allowed to be super close or use flash. No problem, I used my 70-200mm lens and was able to get nice and close to them. It went well in there! Afterwards, we took photos inside.

We headed to Culinary Dropout for the reception after the ceremony. We took bridal party shots outside of the restaurant first. Then, Monique, Ben and I headed off around downtown Gilbert for their couple shots. These turned out so well and there were so many great places!

Lastly, it was dinner and reception time! Inside was decorated so nice for their wedding and I loved how they had a couch to sit on.

Thanks Monique and Ben! I had a blast as your wedding photographer! I wish you many years of happiness and I hope to see your family again!
