In & around Santa Monica...

Taking pictures everyday (even with the iPhone!) gives me a fresh perspective of the things around us.  It keeps me inspired, excited and more appreciative of the beauty we constantly see.  Here are a few Instagram favorites from April taken in & around the neighborhood.

All We Need is LOVE...

Find LOVE in every day! Finding JOY in the simple things is love.  In a cup of coffee, a cupcake, a cycle down the beach, or a chat with a good friend.  I've been documenting random things that catch my attention, the simplest things that make me appreciate life even more :)  If you're on Instagram, you can follow me at mariannelozano.

 

Monique & Adam

They met in Paris, had their first date in Los Angeles, lived in Spain... and traveled.   I think it's so romantic they decided to tie the knot at the very spot they had their first date- at The Penthouse.   What a darling couple!  Monique & Adam are both very photogenic, very easy going & very in love...  perfect recipe for amazing wedding photographs!  Top that with all the beautiful details by Wedding Jeannie & sprinkle with the fun energy of their guests, we enjoyed every bit of it.

We had a blast shooting their engagement session and had twice as much fun at their wedding.   Here are a few favorites...
