Erin & Justin: ENGAGED!!

Erin & Justin are amazing! I probably sound like a broken record but we leave our shoots feeling so blessed. Our clients feel like friends and who wouldn't want to work with their friends day in and day out? We have been so humbled by the perfect amount of work to support us financially and getting to meet some wonderful people along the way. Sure, there are moments of "we live in Orange County itis" but we know that we are exactly where God wants us; fully dependant on Him. (and He always makes sure the bills are paid)

Justin and Erin were made for each other and their chemistry and ear to ear smiles every time they look at each other speak volumes. We had so much fun laughing and "line-crossing" all day. (For those of you who haven't spent much time with me and Matt we tend to be a bit on the inappropriate side... we mean no harm by it but our quirky, sometimes straight stupid sense of humor is a part of OUR chemistry. We like to giggle like little girls. All of my girlfriends refer to Matty as "the line-crosser")

Bottom line: we love Justin and Erin, we can't wait for their wedding, we love what we do :)

ENJOY...

ps. Justin wins super RAD points because he plays a ukulele!!!!!

My husband is super talented, I'm his biggest fan!
























In case this entire blog post hasn't showed you true love and you needed 2 more visual examples of what love looks like... this is it!

Big Things Are Happening!!!

HELLOOOO INTERWEBS! So, here we are a couple of years into Mathieu Photography and we have some personal updates. Matt and I are blessed to be full time wedding photographers. We have been truly blessed with clients that love each other and desire to commit themselves to each other for lifetime. I realize more and more everyday that staying married to your spouse for the duration of your life is a counter cultural rebellion to American society. Perhaps we're crazy but we believe our clients are committed. Just because I have a blog doesn't mean I have any wisdom to share with the world and I'm definitely not a writer BUT for those people that are married.... stick with it. I love my husband and I tell him and show him everyday! Marriage is not easy but it's worth the work.

Matt and I very recently found out that we are expecting a little peanut come September...



What's completely hilarious to us is that it was a total surprise but God's timing is incredible. We have weddings filling August and October but we're due in the middle of September and it's completely open for delivery and recovery! Whew!

In the midst of being very tired, due to building a person inside my body, Matt has been nothing short of awesome!! The other day I apologized for letting the house go a bit due to heavy napping. Matt replied, "That's why I'm here to help." He pulls back the covers, brings me snacks and tells me to rest. I am blessed to have a wonderful husband. I am even more blessed to not have had one spell of morning sickness, Hallelujah!

We make a rad team!


In other news, Matt came out to talk to me while I was working on the computer and I noticed he had found some kitty whiskers and made a fancy Parisian mustache on his face. You may not find it funny but I was laughing so hard I couldn't breathe and tears were coming out of my eyes. I love Matt!



Thanks for indulging me... Have a wonderful day and remind your friends and family that you love them!

Megan: Pure Awesomeness!

I have been blessed to know Megan since my days at Islands almost 8 years ago! Since then we have grown up, gone through a few jobs, started pursuing our passions and met and married the men of our dreams. Megan and I have tons of energy and talk incessantly while we're together. It was actually a difficult shoot because we both had to be quiet and still in the same space which is nearly impossible! Megan had been running her own successful photography business and wanted some new head shots for her brand new, soon-to-be-released website and blog!!

Meg, you're beautiful! Thank you for asking me to do this for you and thank you for your encouragement and inspiration. I loved getting coffee and chatting, you made my day!

PORTLAND!!!!

A couple months ago we had the opportunity to visit Troy and Michelle (read post below). While in Oregon we thought we should also take a two day recharge. We stayed at our favorite place The Kennedy School, ate breakfast at the oh-so cool Doug Fir restaurant, had some long conversations over Ruby Ales and Terminator Stouts and really got to enjoy each others company away from home and work. It was amazing and refreshing and I love my husband and his desire to take care of me and love me. I can't believe that he signed up to love me forever but I'm really glad he did!!

Our days with Troy and Michelle...
