Mady Promised to Greg

We just looooved Mady and Greg’s wedding!!!! We had never met before the wedding, so it was exciting to see them and meet them.  Actually we got to meet Greg and do a few shots of before the ceremony, but our first glimpse of Mady was when she walked down the aisle.  The weather was perfect, the sun was shining so beautifully on the golf course and as Michael Buble played, this gorgeous bride came down the stairs (I think I cried :) 

Here’s the proof!

Brothers :)

Such a pretty place

Mady’s daughters are so pretty :)  this family is so precious!

Couldn’t decide which ring shot I liked best

Kara and Brent E-Sesh!

I shot Kara’s senior pics and now we’re shooting her and Brent’s wedding!  It’s amazing how time flies.  It’s my second time shooting Kara and Brent together.  You might remember seeing their really urban shoot from a couple of years ago.  Well I was really excited about their e-session because they are such a wonderful couple, and they are sooo natural together in front of the camera.  I just love that!!! It’s amazing when a couple can relax and really be themselves: the moments are genuine, the smiles are real, you can practically hear laughter in the photographs!

Ana Promised to Mike= 4 eva

We first met Mike and his guys and took a few getting ready pics. 

This is Mike’s HUGE but veeeery lovable dog :)

The guys doing a little Beatles.

Isn’t Ana such a gorgeous bride!!!!??

We jumped in the limo with the girls!

That’s love…

The preview to the shot of the girls holding Mike up!  I love it!!!

The reception was held at the super-delicious-and-cool Capital Grille! This is where Mike and Ana got engaged so it was very special and meaningful to have the wedding there.  At the end of the reception, we went right into the wine cellar for these photos!  It was soooooo cooooooool to get to do that :) :) :)

Karina Promised to Ryan :)

What a fun e-session!  We are really looking forward to Karina and Ryan’s wedding in March.  It was great to spend some time with them and get to know them a little.  Karina is so beautiful and her smile and laugh is so lovely- it lights up the photos.  Ryan is a wonderful compliment to her.  Here is a little about them in their own words!

1. Three words that describe us: sarcastic, playful, fun.

2. How did you meet?  We met at work 9 years ago. Karina didn’t like Ryan at first, she thought he was rude and stuck up, but he quickly won his way into her heart. Specially when she found out he was also a dog person :) 

3.   Favorite thing to do together: fall asleep on the couch while watching tv (with our dogs of course). We also enjoy traveling together.

4.  What are you looking forward to?  We’ve been together so long that we are looking forward to finally being husband and wife, starting a family and just growing old together. 

 

Ryan loves golf. 

Karina loves sweet heels :) (I think)

We shot at the South Florida Fair! 

The ride flying past our heads :)

Zeke hearts Stacey!

It was wonderful spending the (EARLY) morning with Stacey and Zeke!  They are so in love!!!!

Lindsey and Bill’s Wedding! Part One

Lindsey and Bill are such a wonderful couple!  We really enjoyed their e-session and were looking forward to the wedding so much.  Lindsey was SUCH a stunning bride and it is so obvious that they are so in love.  Thank you so much for your kindness during the wedding!  We had a wonderful time with you.

Here’s a little about Bill and Linsey!  Their answers really had me laughing!!!!

Your thoughts going down the aisle: Billy’s thoughts: Please don’t change your mind… Then I was just so happy, and thought how lucky I was.

Lindsey’s thoughts: I was just trying not to cry-I was moderately successful. I also was just enjoying the moment, but it still went by too quickly.

Honeymoon Plans: Since we just moved to Orlando , we didn’t have much time off of work. We’re planning on going to Costa Rica as soon as possible.

The best marriega advice you have heard:  Billy-Yes, dear.

What does your favorite date night consist of?  Going out to a nice dinner and coming home to rent a movie. Linds and I are big on trying new foods and restaurants, so anytime we can try something new, we love it.

How did you meet?  We met at the cultural epicenter of the universe, AKA Tallahassee . If truth be told, neither of us should have been there. We were both on our second senior years at school, a time we like to refer as our victory laps. That being said, Lindsey moved in two doors down from me at our townhouses at Indian Oaks West. Soon thereafter, Linds would find herself taking out the trash more often than she ever had, and finding out she needed help with her, “broken,” grill. Unfortunately, I was quite oblivious to some of these advances and only wondered how her grill would always start immediately, and why three girls created so much trash. Thankfully, we soon found out we were crazy for each other, and still feel the same way today. How did you propose: I proposed to Lindsey by taking her out to her favorite beach, Siesta Key. I vividly remember that I had pulled my back two days prior and wasn’t even sure if I could get down on one knee without wincing in absolute pain. Thankfully, my body cooperated at that moment and she said yes.

I told you she was stunning!  More photos coming soon.

Em and John- Wedding Day!

I only ever talked to Emily on the phone before the wedding, and she ended up so much cooler than I could have ever pictured.  I mean any girl who gets married with a secret pair of sneakers is pretty cool right!  And John was pretty cool himself :)

Here’s a little snapshot of the day!  Thank you both for a great day :)

For the Orange Juice Toast :)

The pretty shoes.

The wonderful secret sneakers.

The First Sight :)

And a second look :)

Isn’t she beautiful :)

The Legend Continues…Bethany and Chad- The Wedding :)

I’ll never forget their e-session because Chad was going around putting statues in a headlock all over the place!  We had a lot of laughs that day. 

Well…lookie here!!!!!!!

haha, we just couldn’t resist this shot!!!! 

But lets start at the beginning of the day…

Here’s the beautiful dress. 

And here is the beautiful bride with her girls.  Sometimes I go to weddings and the bride is as sweet as can be but the bridesmaids are kinda not…well at this wedding, all the girls were super sweet!  They were just so helpful to Bethany and you could really feel all the emotion and happiness as they were getting ready.

Talking to her awesome sister.

We did it! yay yay yay!

Bethany and Chad, we just loved you guys!  Your wedding was beautiful and your love very obvious :)

We pray all the best for your lives as husband and wife :)

Annie and Joel’s Perfect Wedding

I had been looking forward to Annie and Joel’s Hutchinson Island wedding for a long time.  Everything about it sounded like my cup of tea!  The day of, Brendan and I arried in the area a little early so we decided to have lunch at a local Panera Bread.  As I ate my soup I thought about the day and imagined everything from the bride and groom to the location. 

Well I’m happy to say, that it was so much better than I could have thought!  It was PERFECT!  Annie and Joel are wonderful, and so are their friends and family.  The location was breathtaking, we were surrounded by water!  I actually teared up at one point because the sun was setting and the DJ played the perfect song! haha I’m a little embarrassed to admit that!

Annie and Joel, we pray God’s blessings on your marriage and on your family!
