Abby & Ryan's Wedding

Well I am finally able to blog Abby & Ryan's Wedding! They were the third of a three day wedding weekend for us so I had to play catch up. I have known Abby since we were kids, when we would wait at the bus stop in the mornings before school! She has grown into such a beautiful woman and I felt so proud to be able to be apart of her and Ryan's day!

Leanne & Mike's Wedding

I was really excited to shoot Leanne & Mike's wedding because I know what great people they are. Everything took place at Sailfish Point and Dulsimer florist did an amazing job transforming it into such a beautiful space! Unfortunately we were fighting the weather this day as well, but lucky for us it cleared up just in time to do Leanne and Mikes formals. Leanne did scount the weather and let us know in advance of the bad weather at 5:06PM (personal joke). Check back for some upcoming additional shots from their extra bridal session we will be doing in 2 weeks!

Jordan & Darren's Wedding

Friday was the start of a busy 3-wedding weekend for the studio. It was so hot out Friday and I was thankful she wasn't getting married outside! Jordan is so gorgeous and has a real classic beauty about her. We continued with a full mass ceremony followed by their reception at the Pelican Yacht Country Club. Unfortunately the heat had turned to rain during the ceremony so we had to improvise a little, but by the time we arrived at the Country Club it had cleared into a beautiful scene and we were able to do a few more photographs before the reception started, which was a party of course with the great Entertainment Connections DJ's running the show! Everyone had a great time!

Lorelle & Chris' Wedding

We met with Lorelle EARLY this morning at Frenchman's Reserve for her getting ready photographs. Ryan and I arent normally early risers, so we set... oh about 6 alarms last night to make sure we were there on time! Ryan even woke up in the middle of the night and insisted on calling this company that for a fee will call you at your house at a certain time. Needless to say we were early to Frenchmans! After that we headed over to Ignatius Catholic Church for the ceremony and then back to Frenchmans for an amazing brunch. Lorelle is so gorgeous, and I was thrilled to get the opportunity to photograph her today! Congratulations and have fun on your honeymoon!

Tiffany & Marco's Engagement Session

Tiffany and Marco are so super sweet and chill, I really had a great time at this shoot. They are Totally comfortable in their own skin and it definately showed through their images. I just love this location for any kind of shoot, I can't really think of a time it didnt offer me an amazing backdrop for my images. I can't wait for their wedding in a few weeks!

Kirstin and David

Jupiter Island Beach Club was the setting for this grand wedding on the ocean, as Kirstin and David made things official in front of 150 of their family and friends present. Besides the occasional gusts of wind on Saturday, the couple enjoyed a great ocean view for their ceremony on the outside terrace before enjoying a beautiful dinner buffet inside the clubhouse. This couple wanted more of a photojournalistic style coverage, which I prefer, so it worked out well! Congratulations to Kirstin and David...and to the hard planning parents of the bride and the wedding planners that pulled this amazing event off!

Ashley & Gaston's Wedding

I knew after Ashley & Gaston's Engagement Session that this was going to be a fun laid back wedding, and of course it was! Ashley has to be one of the most laid back brides I have ever seen. She wasn't even fazed after the flower for her hair had broken and her earring had fallen apart! I've seen major bridal meltdowns for things less than this! Thank goodness for Dad's superglue! She just laughed as Mom glued it back together. This is a true testament to her personality. As for Gaston, Ashley's Mom had warned me that he would probably get a bit emotional when he saw her coming down the aisle... and of course he did...and of course it was completely sweet and romantic. He even had me tearing up! I am just so happy for this couple and I wish them the absolute best!

ps. Doesn't Ashley look like Eva Longoria?

Nathan's Senior Session

I had such a blast doing this session, although it probably didnt seem like it at the time since I was a little nervous! I just didnt know what to expect when Nathan came in, but he was so sweet and polite and I was really thrilled with how everything came out!

Katie & Matt's Wedding

This wedding was a blast! Katie and Matt are so easy going and easy to work with! They had their ceremony and reception at the Omni Colonade in Coral Gables, and everything was absolutely breathtaking! Definately right up my ally as far as style is concerned, and Katie really brought her dream to life through all of the decor. Everyone really seemed to enjoy the whole day, and isn't that what it's all about? Congratulations Katie and Matt, and thank you so much for letting us be apart of your day!
