Katie and John's Engagement Session

Katie and John are getting hitched this weekend in Melbourne Beach!!!!!!!!!!!! I met this couple a few years ago at another wedding I had photographed. They are such a sweet, loving, Southern and down to Earth kind of couple. Their love is infectious as they laughed and smiled away without me telling them to do so! Their shoot was taken in Melbourne Beach as the sun was setting away with pink and orange hues in the sky. I had backup to say the least; the bride's future sister in law was in attendance which was a great help as she assisted me with lighting equipment. Katie.....such a sweet and gentle soul and John...such a Southern gentlemen......there is no doubt they're a perfect match for each other! I look forward to documenting your wedding this weekend! Thank you for the laughs and chilly weather!! xxxooo

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.

Ron + Alejandra's Sunset E-Session

How I miss South Florida's sunsets....especially when I get to go back home :+) Meet Ron and Alejandra whom are planning a June wedding this year and very much in love. Their engagement session was sentimental to me, as Ron is a very dear friend of my husband I. For their session, we took a ride on Ron's boat to the inlet and set dock at a secluded location, time was ticking quickly as we had about an hour before the sun was to set. The weather and sunset was absolutely beautiful and we were lucky enough to have a full moon. Thank you Ron and Alejandra for a beautiful engagement session; looking forward to your wedding in June as you both say, "I do".

Yes, Shelley and Nick are expecting a bundle of joy this summer, how exciting and wonderful!!! I have to say, they both have a great sense of humor when it came to planning their "shotgun wedding" and it was sooo her fun idea to write it out with scrabble pieces -- love it!

Tim and Rachel's Island E-Session

Tim and Rachel's Engagement Session......absolutely FUN and it sure ended in a big splash! The couple wanted a secluded engagement session on a island in the Indian River and luckily Tim owns a boat so we were able to venture about the area.  The weather was absolutely perfect! Before we headed out on the boat, Tim and Rachel's babies (their dogs) also participated in the shoot with their adorable "Save the Date" signage!  The island was amazing and offered so many scenic spots to shoot at starting with the driftwood and ending on a small cliff. Towards the end of the session, Rachel concluded with a huge splash---climbing onto the driftwood was quite tricky as she lost her balance and became fully submerged by the water! She was such a trooper and kept her spirits high as she continued to smile away :+) These 2 love birds were soo much fun to work with! Thanks for an amazing Island Engagement Session; looking forward to May!!!

Erin and Jeff's Rustic E-Session

1950's inspired Engagement Session

Its not everyday that I get the opportunity to be apart of "themed" photoshoot, but when Jen and Matt tossed the idea around of a 1950's themed shoot - how could I refuse???? Jen and Matt's E-Session was taken over the course of 2 days, thanks to mother nature's lovebugs!!

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!!
