Mar and Elan – Ahualulco, Mexico

I love Mar and Elan, they were married in Ahualulco, Mexico where I conduct my Mexico workshop. Mar is one of the best stylist in Santa Barbara, we became great friends because we were running into each other at so many weddings. Good friend Jill Lafleur was the wedding planner.

I am an aspiring wedding photographer (I'm only 16) and you truly make me want to strive to be better and truly develop my own unique place in the photography business. Thank you for that! P.S.
