Rochelle & Mario | Woman’s Club Coconut Grove

Rochelle & Mario’s Wedding at the Woman’s Club Coconut Grove in Miami, Florida

What can I say about Rochelle & Mario? That they very quickly became more than my clients. Rochelle reached out to me about photographing her wedding after a previous bride of mine referred her. Every time I spoke to her on the phone, it was like instant chemistry. We finally met in person the day of their engagement session. Let’s just say that Rochelle & Mario are like our perfect couple match (if that’s a thing). Mario is a SWAT Officer, so he and my Firefighter husband instantly hit it off.
