With a groom who is proudly serving our country and a bride that looks like she just stepped out of a storybook and a beautiful day on the beach – what more could you ask for? Lauren and Derreck exchanged vows, rings and loving looks with the support of family and friends during their lovely wedding on Daytona Beach, FL in late May. Derreck had to ship back out, so their honeymoon is being delayed until their first anniversary. To see a few of their engagement shots from a few months ago, just scroll down through the blog.  Thank you both so much for allowing Bill and I to be a part of your special day!

Audrey and Dustin Daniels

March 16, 2013

Audrey and Dustin decided to have their beautiful beach wedding at The Resort at Little Harbor in Ruskin, FL. The wedding took place seaside, with the reception inside the Sunset Grill. We were blessed with a gorgeous day filled with light breezes and a colorful sunset!

When I first met with this young couple, I knew capturing their wedding photos was going to such an honor. Whenever they would look at each other, they would instantly smile – you know – THAT smile. The one that says, “I’ve found the person I want to spend the rest of my life with.” Their wedding was held in their small church in Plant City, and the reception was held in downtown Lakeland at the Peggy Brown Building. Since we were so close to the lake, we walked down to get a few bridal party shots on the Promenade and at Hollis Gardens. Here are a few pages from their wedding album, just to give you a sample of how beautiful their day was.

These two are such a sweet couple – I can hardly wait for their wedding in just a few short weeks I just love when you can look at a couple and the happiness they share just fills the whole area. Stay tuned for their gorgeous wedding photos to follow soon….

These two hold a special place in my heart. I met Amanda a few years ago in an around about way through a High Heel Hike for Autism benefit and talked her into coming out to model for us at one of our local meetups. She is such a beautiful young lady and was so much fun to work with. Mike, her lifetime hero, is a fireman in Tampa. Their wedding was at the lovely Rusty Pelican at Rocky Point in Tampa. From the beautiful ceremony at the water’s edge to the colorful streamers at the reception, this was a gorgeous wedding. The groom’s cake was a firetruck and the little figurine atop the wedding cake was a fireman rescuing his lady – so cute!  You can easily see the love they have for one another. Thank you both for allowing me to be a part of your wedding day. Bill and I had a great time!

Ashley visited my booth at the PC Bridal Exhibit wedding show in April and talked with me briefly about photographing her wedding this fall. I included a complimentary engagement session in her package so I could meet her and Cecil before their wedding day.   Since  he is in the military and was only going to be home for the holiday weekend, we went out Friday evening to grab a few shots.
They wanted to do the engagement session at Circle B Ranch in Winter Haven.  The trails with huge beautiful oaks are perfect for an outdoor shoot and a favorite among local photographers. Thank you, Ashley and Cecil for choosing me to be your wedding photographer and spending a few of your precious hours with me this weekend.

 Amid the love and laughter of friends and family, Stan and Katie exchanged vows, rings and loving glances in a beautiful beach wedding on the East Coast of Florida. Jupiter Beach is a special place for these two lovebirds, and a gorgeous spot for a wedding.

Kelly and Brian

April 30, 2011

Christa asked me to come by and take a few photos of her and her childhood friend, Kelly. Brian and Kelly were married in the Keys, however many of her friends and family could not attend due to an unforeseen emergency. The solution – have a second wedding reception at her parent’s home in Auburndale!

Thank you, Mario and Olivia for allowing me to participate in your lovely beach wedding.  The reception was a beautiful sunset cruise around the bay.

Jenn, Nate and Dylan

December 5, 2010

So, we went on a little photo walk at a local attraction and just so happened to take a few photos while we were there. Nate was gracious enough to let me use “his camera” for a few of the shots – thanks, man!  Dylan was a great help. I think I’ll hire him when he gets past the child labor law age……
