dramatic wedding photography

Maria & Ben

Last October, the MSP blog featured the engagement shoot of one of the cutest couples in the world: Maria & Ben. We knew after spending time with them that their wedding was going to be one for the books - and we were NOT disappointed! Not only did Maria & Ben kill it with their wedding day style (AND almost every vendor was MSP-recommended!), but their romance had only gotten MORE amazing over time! Check out their special day below!

Venue: The Club at the Strand

making the ladies even more gorgeous and photo-ready for us!
