Today I have the long awaited privilege of introducing you to two (now) clients of mine who also happen to be family (well, Maria practically is). AJ is my younger cousin and Maria has been around for what seems like forever. I’ll never forget the first time AJ brought her to one of our Christmas Eve dinners and all of us thought “This one is a winner”, and that she is. She is the sweetest, kindest, funniest, and certainly most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen by AJ’s side. And not only is she so amazing herself, but she makes my cousin a better guy. It’s so obvious when they are together that they are comfortable with each other and that, in one another, they have found a best friend. Their wedding will be next summer and, if I’m being honest, is going to be a bit of pressure on me since my entire family will be there. We decided that before all the wedding craziness really started to pick up that we would get together and head on up to Mohegan Sun Casino for their engagement shoot, since that is where they got engaged and one of their favorite places t hang out.

Meet AJ + MAria.
