Brian & Liz's Engagement Session

Liz and Brian decided to share their Sunday evening beneath beautiful Oak trees adorned with Spanish moss as they watched the sun fade away into the night.  The couple are planning to wed in June 2011, which Liz has been planning for over 1 year and hasn't missed a single detail.  Liz and Brian, without a doubt had no shyness when it came to being themselves and displaying their emotions for one another.  We spent our evening driving around the "greens" on a golf cart searching for the perfect spot - and there it was, a set of Oak trees in the distance. I'm looking forward to your big day when you both say, "I do". 

Carnival Love

With the arrival of Spring comes beautiful weather, engagement proposals and last but not least, the Carnival!!!  Tayler and Garrett are planning a late Summer wedding of this year in Winter Park as the couple recently engaged during the Christmas holiday season. Oh the fun I had......sitting on a carousel snapping photos isn't as easy as it sounds, but well worth it! The Carnival provided such a "colorful" location in addition to the balloons :+) Tayler and Garrett enjoyed their visit by taking advantage of the dart throwing and even won his blushing bride to be a teddy bear. As the sun set well into the West, the couple enjoyed their last ride and what better view could you get of the entire fairground - the Ferris Wheel of course!!

Cocoa Beach Pier Ceremony

The Williams & Kobe family traveled all the way from "The Windy City" to declare their love in the presence of their immediate family on the shores of the Cocoa Beach Pier in late March.  Lisa and Bob planned a family vacation with each of their 2 sets of teenagers during Spring Break and spent their time between Orlando and Cocoa Beach.  In addition to declaring their love for each other, Lisa & Bob decided to get "inked" prior to the ceremony with "3-24-11" to signify the date of the marriage. I wish you both a lifetime of bliss; thank you for allowing me to capture your special day.

Brad & Danielle, a "Pink and Tiffany Blue inspired wedding"

Brad and Danielle declared their love in the witness of their friends and family on February 26th, 2011 at St. Ignatius Loyola in Palm Beach Gardens followed by their reception at the PGA Marriott. As some of you may remember, I shot their engagement session back in mid December, in addition to having the opportunity to partake in my 1st South Florida wedding (which is my hometown where I grew up). Brad and Danielle, truly a passionate, loving and beautiful couple displayed tears of happiness as they vowed their selves to each other. Their large wedding party was amazing....we had tons of fun laughing and sharing jokes as I had them pose; truly a wedding party I will never forget :+) The reception room displayed the colors of hot pink accented with Tiffany Blue flower centerpieces.  To top off the wedding, Brad and Danielle had rented a vintage Chrysler Desoto limo providing me with many photo opportunities! Congratulations to Mr. and Mrs. Brad Misskelley, thank you for giving me the opportunity to be apart of your special day! I wish you both many years and happiness, love and good fortune!

Sunday funday with the neighbors

Meet Bailey, Cole and younger sister Sophie.....3 angels of my lovely neighbor, Stacey. Sunday funday was just that; an ordinary weekend with the exception of Sophie's 3 yr old bday planned later in the afternoon. So, how does a mother of 3 manage a photo shoot on the day of her beautiful daughter's birthday party?? The answer is quite simple - I come to the home and document their families activities as is - neither props nor backdrops are needed, easy as that....simple lifestyle photography at its best! Stacey was preparing stuffed shells in the kitchen as the 3 kids (including my 2.5 yr old) run amongst the house - all well behaved and simply beautiful! Their home provided simplistic furniture, all from Pottery Barn, what more could I ask for?? Sister Sophie, quite sassy and as the mother states, "Aggressive she is no, but assertive she is!" Middle child, Cole....the sweetest eyes any mom would brag over is quite the model as he sat on the couch effortlessly as he looked into my camera lens. Older brother, Bailey...the teenager whom is all about sports and video games is the most reserved out of all the kids which he didn't mind me taking up just a few minutes out of his busy schedule. Sunday funday at its best - thank you Stacey, Bailey, Cole and Sophie for an amazing day in your personal home and I look forward to the next shoot within the next month or so.
