Although it’s taken me forever to blog this session, I am super excited to share it on the blog! It’s hard to believe I photographed Janyll’s wedding over a year ago! With her wedding package, Janyll booked a bridal session with me. Often, there is not a lot of time on the wedding day for bridal shots and Janyll knew they were important to her. So, she came up with what I think is a wonderful idea: A one year anniversary session! Janyll and Maykel met me at the beach and brought along their top tier cake they saved from the wedding day as well as the makings for a champagne toast! It was so much fun and we had a great time chatting about their first year as a married couple. Honestly, where does the time go?!

Bride on a Beach

When I first met Laura and Lenny over a year ago, I knew without a doubt that these two would one day get engaged. They were so at ease with one another and seemed to fit like two perfect puzzle pieces. You can imagine how thrilled I was when they asked me to be their wedding photographer! I feel so blessed to be able to capture such a special moment for such a wonderful couple. We were all laughs in St. Augustine during their engagement session. I had such an amazing day with these two, can’t wait for February!!

The End.

This session was so much fun! Hadley is such a model and worked with me every step of the way, doing whatever crazy thing I asked her to do (love that!). She is such a beautiful bride and I am so glad she made the decision to have a bridal session. These are photos her children and grandchildren will love to see and setting aside the time in a separate session makes all the difference. Thanks for making my job easy, Hadley! :)

Loving this weather! Some of the best times of the year for pictures (at least in Florida!). And I love this family! We had a great time and little Miss Aubrey is a sweetie pie! She was so laid back and let mom and dad get lots of pictures in without a peep!

I hope you guys enjoy your pictures! Can’t wait to see you again next month!!

That’s right! It’s not a typo- I just created my own word for lack of a better one! Hadley and Ryan tied the knot in a small ceremony in the mountains earlier this year, but still wanted some pictures taken to celebrate. Hence, the post-gagement session! I know, I could just call it a ‘married’ session, but that just doesn’t have the same ring to it.

Hadley and Ryan are so sweet together. We had a lot of laughs getting these pictures and I think that shows. Congrats to you two! Enjoy your pictures!

I think Ryan is a pretty lucky guy! Hadley, you’re gorgeous!

Love these…

Love this one…

And just in case you were wondering if all my married talk was true, here’s the proof!  ;)

Kristin and Courtney are two of the sweetest people I’ve ever met. They are both so happy and in love. I recently met these two through my amazing photographer friend, Lori. Lori was going to take their wedding photos, but got an amazing opportunity and moved to Italy a few months ago! (I’ve already told her to save some space in her calendar for me, because I’m coming for a visit!) She referred Kristin and Courtney to me and I honestly love these two! So funny and so genuine. Oh, and I love anyone who tells me they’re eloping to Costa Rica. Yep, in just a few short weeks, we’ll be heading to Costa Rica for their wedding and I am beyond honored (and totally psyched) to be able to capture such a special occasion.

This one makes me laugh.

I’m in the midst of editing an amazing engagement session of an amazing couple, Kristin and Courtney, and wanted to post a few for them. Enjoy!

Back in fall of last year, my good friend Janyll contacted me with the some great news- she was engaged! I was so happy when she asked me to be her photographer. I am so excited for her, she is such an amazing person and I know her wedding will be fantastic! I feel so blessed to be a part of it.
Janyll and I both agreed this past weekend when we got together for her engagement pictures that we can’t believe February is already here! It seemed like just a few weeks ago we were talking about taking her engagement pictures and the day has come and passed! I had such an amazing time taking these photos. Janyll and Maykel wanted to take their pictures at the Florida State Fair. They love it and go every year. I’ve never had so much fun at a shoot before! I tell you, every session shoot include gobs of fried food and crazy rides!!
These are just a few of their pictures, I have many more to share! I hope they capture the fun spirit of the day.
