Real Weddings Cover Models: Where Are They Now? {Michelle}

Real Weddings is celebrating it’s 10th anniversary and in honor of this milestone, we are checking back in with our beautiful cover models! We’ve been so lucky to work with over 60 local brides these past 10 years and we’re eager to see where they are now.

Where and when did you get married?

September 27, 2013 at Kenyon Estate in Vallejo

Any children (fur or human)?

Yes! Our first born is our fur baby Cooper, he is a seven-year-old Boxer, we also have a cat named Butters and our daughter Hannah is almost two-and-a-half.

What do you do for a living?

I am a marketing specialist at Entercom Sacramento focusing on the Eat Farm to Fork movement in our community.

Where are you currently living?

Gold River

What do you enjoy doing locally?

I love to spend as much time with my husband and daughter as possible; we love camping, going to the lake, hiking and just enjoying each other. In all of my other free time you can find me on a bike at TEAMRIDE Folsom, I am absolutely obsessed with the studio, the people (its family owned) and of course, the workout.

What has been your biggest achievement since being a Cover Model?

I am proud to say that I have accomplished a great deal both professionally and personally. I am incredibly proud of my relationship with my husband and the way we are raising our daughter together.

What is your favorite part of marriage?

Marriage has domesticated me in the greatest way. I have learned to live, work and play with my husband, who happens to also be my best friend.

Lastly, how was your Cover Model experience?

Fabulous! Can I do it again? It was one of the best things I have had the privilege of doing!
