The holidays are here, the weather is cold (well, as cold as it gets here in Phoenix), and it seems like the air is infused with good cheer.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Fridays, just over a year ago, on a Friday, <a href=\"https:\/\/joandalli.com\/?p=1475\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">we wrote about Monique and Dominic<\/a>. They\u2019d been featured here before for <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderbackblog.com\/2018\/04\/03\/phoenix-bridal-shower-monique\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Monique\u2019s bridal shower<\/a>, but this was a bit more special: they got full-on married!<\/p>\n<p>When we covered their wedding, we talked about how much fun Dominic and Monique are, how much joy radiates from between them no matter where they are or who they\u2019re with. Good news: that hasn\u2019t changed a bit. Some people start out a bit uncomfortable in front of the camera&#8211;something about the lens pointing at you feels like laser focus&#8211;but there\u2019s nothing like that with these two. We\u2019re always astounded at how Monique and Dominic are perfect together. It\u2019s not them as people that\u2019s surprising, either: it\u2019s the absolute ease.<\/p>\n<p>Like we said, joy radiates from them.<\/p>\n<p>The last two times we were able to work with them were in much more structured settings: a home and a wedding venue. This time around, we chose something completely different, a wide-open field that stretched out all around them. Sunset Point is a gorgeous area that doesn\u2019t even look like something you\u2019d find in a desert. It\u2019s a great place for photoshoots. The blue sky above makes the field feel bigger than it is, and it\u2019s perfect for evoking eternity, especially with lovebirds as happy as Monique and Dominic.<\/p>\n<p>They might not have sang Say You Won\u2019t Let Go, but Monique and Dominic definitely had a blast during the shoot. Fun is the operative word when they\u2019re around. Even during low-key times, during business meetings, during serious discussions, the two of them together have a way of tempering everything and making it seem that if they can be <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderbackblog.com\/2019\/12\/18\/veterans-oasis-park-engagement-mariola-ryan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">together and happy<\/a>, then everyone can find that too.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, that sounds a little selfish. This is, after all, about them, not what they make others feel. Them together? <a href=\"http:\/\/wanderbackblog.com\/2019\/12\/12\/superstition-mountain-engagement-ruth-nathan\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pure happiness<\/a>. Just look.<\/p>\n<p>Relationships can be a lot of hard work. Even the best of them take effort sometimes. Monique and Dominic make it seem easy, and honestly? That\u2019s something to strive for.<\/p>\n<p>As life goes on, we know Dominic and Monique will do everything in their power to keep that love flame lit. We can\u2019t wait to see what\u2019s next for them.<\/p>\n<p>Well&#8230;we know what&#8217;s next for them! But, we won&#8217;t spoil the photos for you.<\/p>\n<p>Monique, Dominic: you guys have made it a year into marriage! Congratulations! We\u2019re so, so happy for you! We just can&#8217;t wait to see you both again in the near future!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1735\" src=\"https:\/\/joandalli.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/2019-12-18_0004.jpg\" alt=\"2019-12-18_0004\" width=\"1200\" height=\"13577\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Check out our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.wanderbackphotography.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">website<\/a>!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Sunday, everyone!
