Happy wedding couple throws their bouquet in the air at the beach after renewing their vows on the beach in Playa del Rey, Los Angeles.

Playa del rey

My husband and I did a vow renewal and had a wild and windy (40+ mph) visit to our favorite beach! Despite the gale force winds and biting sand, Madison managed to get a ton of great shots! She was so encouraging and made me feel carefree (not easy!). So excited to have these shots that capture love and joy. despite the horrible weather, our day felt totally free from stress. I would highly recommend Madison!! What a lovely woman and so skilled!"

"My husband and I both have crazy schedules running our own businesses. it felt like we were going to postpone our wedding indefinitely. until i found madison. she planned everything and made us remember that our wedding day was actually just a celebration of our love. it is so easy to get caught up in all the stress, but she reminded us to just relax and enjoy the day. i can't stop looking at the photos."
