A few weeks ago I had an amazing opportunity to shoot the best rehearsal dinner I’ve ever seen! Liz, mother of the groom, contacted me a little over a month ago about taking pictures at her son’s rehearsal dinner in Dade City. It was “Vegas” themed and included a night full of gambling and games! The food was great, there was a full bar, and a wide array of casino games for the many guests at dinner. Now that’s a rehearsal dinner! I had such a great time capturing such fun memories for these two families. It was such a great night.

Loved this wheel! You could spin a wide array of results. From, “Pick a prize” to “Give the bride and groom $10″ to “Groom leads the group in the chicken dance.” (Pictures of the last one down below.)

Liz made an amazing slide show of the bride and groom. She had so many people in tears, it was just beautiful!

Such a great night!

When Raeni and Joel told me about their plans to have an intimate wedding in Cedar Key, I instantly knew I liked them. Their wedding was very similar to my own and was right up my alley. The couple, along with a small group of close family, took a boat out to a small island and had the ceremony right there on the beach. It was amazing!

Joel arrived at the dock early with some of the guys and took the boat out to the beach.

Raeni arrived just minutes after Joel left for the island.

Love the sandals!

Raeni’s nephew had a basket of gorgeous seashells in lieu of the traditional flowers laid down the aisle.

We found this great little bar right on the water.

These two were so laid back and a lot of fun. They both did a shot of tequila to celebrate!

Later on, we found this great B&B and stopped for some pictures.

Meghan and Danny’s wedding was such a special event. Their ceremony was truly beautiful and the love between them was so evident, it could easily bring tears to your eyes. It was such a blessing to witness the joining of two close families and I am so lucky to be able to capture such important memories. I wish nothing but the best for their family.

Check out this cutie! I couldn’t get over his adorable little tux. Nothing is cuter than a little baby in formal wear!

A few pictures for Raeni and Joel to enjoy! I had such a great time in Cedar Key shooting their wedding. How often do you get to take a boat out to a small island for an intimate wedding? Thanks you two for allowing me to be a part of such an amazing day!

Last month, a good photographer friend of mine, Lori Encke, invited me along to shoot a wedding with her in Tampa. I had so much fun!! The wedding was at the beautiful Davis Island Garden Club. It’s hard to put into words how amazing it feels to be a part of such an intimate day in someone’s life. Magan and Ben were awesome and it was great to see such love between them. It was a wonderful day and I hope you guys enjoy all of your pictures!

This handsome guy with the drink in his hand was responsible for all the beautiful fabrics and decorations. I kept asking him where he was at my wedding…
