Ellie is 1!

Sweet little Ellie has turned 1 years old and she is ready to take on the world! This little princess is full of life, smiles, giggles and not to mention......she has her Daddy wrapped around her little finger. Ellie is quite the expressional little lady with her many faces and gestures which I'm sure she inherits from her parents since they are quite goofy themselves! Happy Birthday sweet Ellie and I look forward to seeing you at 2 years old!

Megan and Sean's Rockledge Country Club Wedding

Megan and Sean were my last wedding of the season and my most memorable of the year. Their wedding took place at the Rockledge Country Club in late September in the presence of their family and closest friends. During the ceremony, Sean's nephew carried a sign that read, "Uncle Sean, here comes your girl", how fitting for a couple that has been together since high school! Meanwhile, there were a few bridesmaids that were shedding a few tears as Megan walked down the aisle with her Father.  Megan and Sean couldn't wait a second longer to seal their nuptials with a kiss as their guests cheered with happiness :+)   The entertainment and uplighting was provided by, "DJ Shane" from "DJ Shane Entertainment".  Dancing, laughs, memories and a personal slideshow dedicated to Megan's Mother was shared amongst their guests. The end of the reception concluded with a "bright and sparkly ending" for Megan and Sean as they had a grand exit of sparklers that lead out to their getaway limo! Congratulations to Megan and Sean on your marriage; I wish you all the happiness in the world as you both start your newest chapter in your lives. Also, I would like to  thank my 2nd shooter Indica for helping me out during their wedding.

Matt and Jessica's Beachside Wedding

Matt and Jessica planned their destination wedding on the east coast and traveled all the way from Las Vegas to share their special day with friends and family. Mother Nature had decided to grace us with her rain just before the ceremony and thank goodness only lasted a few minutes.  Matt and his groomsmen all wore superhero shirts underneath their suits -- quite the kids at heart! Jessica, what a gorgeous bride in her vintage lace gown with matching starfish hairpins to match their beach side theme; thank you to Essentials Spa for doing a wonderful job with the hair and makeup.  The reception entertainment and uplighting décor was provided by "DJ Shane Entertainment"; as always, he has the party rocking all night long. As the evening progressed, I was able to sneak Matt and Jessica away from their guests and take advantage of the contemporary décor the Crowne Plaza had to offer in the lobby area. I would like to thank my assistant, Matt for all of his hard work! Matt and Jessica, congratulations on your marriage and I wish you all the happiness in the world! Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to document your special day. All my best to you both.....

Balloons of Fun!!!

Last week I had the pleasure to spend some time with the cutest brother and sister along with their family in Cocoa Beach.  This particular family visits me once a year and I'm privileged enough to have watch them grow over the last 3 years!  Sweet Avery and handsome Grant.....can I say "cuteness overload"?????  I was having the best time playing around with these two sweeties -- even better that my child is around their ages, so I felt right at home. The whole family was involved in all of the fun including Grandparents and Mom! Lots of love, hugs, cuddles and kisses were shared ---- which I absolutely love the most about capturing family portraits. I look forward to see the family again next year and making new memories!!!

Tim & Rachel's FIT Botanical Garden Wedding

Tim and Rachel tied the knot at the luscious FIT Botanical Gardens during Memorial weekend with perfect, yet hot weather! Rachel wore a beautiful gown from Aurora Bridal that accompanied her Grandmother's pearl necklace and earrings - absolutely beautiful! Tim was quite the casual groom in his khaki suit paired up with flip flops ---his "bait and tackle fish hook" boutonniere matched perfectly as he is a fisherman. The ceremony was short and sweet followed by laughs and giggles as they exchanged their vows to one another. The wedding reception was held at the Melbourne Realtor Conference Centre and entertainment was provided by Frederick from Sophisticated Gents. The food was amazing---Charlie and Jake's BBQ provided a Southern BBQ for their guests to enjoy. Congratulations to Tim and Rachel -- I wish you all the happiness that life may bring to you both! As always, thank you for having Michelle and I at your wedding; I'm blessed to have been able to document your wedding!

 

 

Callie's Trip to Brevard Zoo

Sweet and precious 2yr old Callie....suddenly I remember how busy toddlers are at this age! I've been photographing Callie since she was a few a months old and she gets cuter and sweeter every year! Having her photoshoot at the Brevard Zoo was a perfect location due to her love in safari animals. She especially enjoyed the deer and bird feeding exhibit as she was so gentle and fragile with the animals. Callie is so full of life and her beautiful blue eyes awaken as she gets to experience each new day along with new adventures!

Megan & Sean's "Love for Baseball" E-Session

Megan and Sean's love for America's pastime sport of Baseball led them to the Washington National's Spring Training Stadium located in Viera, FL.  Megan, a Southern girl and what better way to sport her cowgirl boots. Sean, a former college baseball player was a "little boy in a candy store" as he got a few hits in during the session. We had the stadium all to ourselves so I took advantage of the opportunity! The couple are planning a late September wedding and I couldn't be thrilled enough to be their wedding photographer.  Thank you Megan and Sean for a fun engagement session!

Jessica + Matt's Sunset Engagement Session

Jessica and Matt's engagement session was taken at the Jetty Park in Port Canaveral; the location provided beautiful white sand, lush sand dunes and oh so romantic rocks that lined the inlet. The engaged couple are planning a destination wedding in Melbourne later this summer as they both live out of state so their time visiting with me was limited as so was the cooperation of the rainy weather! Luckily we held out for our last available day and I'm so glad we did because I couldn't of asked for a vibrant sunset overlooking the inlet. Jessica and Matt, both affectionate, loveable and couldn't keep their paws off each other as I'm sure they can't wait to tie the knot soon enough! Thank you both for a fun engagement session and I look forward to seeing you both in just a few months.
