I am so excited to finally tell you all about our shoot with Jose Villa in July. Remember when Matthew and I went to Santa Barbara? Well that was just a stop on our way to shooting with Jose and his awesome team. We went to this ranch in Solvang and got to run around the play with a sweet {but stubborn} horse. I am thrilled to now be able to share these beautiful pictures with all of you! Matthew and I were so lucky to have this opportunity and it was such a fun experience.
Jose is an incredible photographer and all the pictures are just phenomenal. He and his awesome team made us look fantastic! If you don’t already know about Jose and his work check out his site and blog. You will be blown away!
The flowers and styling were done by Joy Thigpen and Emily Newman of Once Wed. They both had such a great vision and executed it perfectly!
Welcome to M Loves M! My name is Mara and I created this lifestyle site in 2009 as a place to share my love of fashion, beauty, food and entertaining. I moved from Southern California to Idaho and love adventuring with my husband Matthew, our two children, and our dog Ginger. We're also pregnant with baby #3, due this autumn! I strive to create a site that’s relatable to women, while also being inspirational. I’m so glad you stopped by!
