ANIK & JD | Fort De Soto, Florida | Wedding

We became fast friends with Anik and JD. They are such warm and caring individuals, it’s an absolute delight to be around them! Their engagement session taken earlier this year is one of our favorites and I really can’t say enough about their wedding! It was filled with so much emotion and beauty. It truly was a beautiful event to witness and an honor to photograph. The ceremony took place on the beach in Fort De Soto Park. The site was beautifully constructed and the details were amazing! The reception followed at the Tampa Bay Watch on the second story overlooking the ocean.
An amazing team of vendors worked together to create this beautiful masterpiece. First and foremost I must mention Lovelynn Jensen of Grand Events. She coordinated and stylized the wedding and did a remarkable job! Christine Wheaton of Femme Akoi beautified our bride with her make-up and hair talents. The delicious and unique cake was created by The Sugar Suite. Cara of Hearts Video was a delight as always to work with. The Dillingham Quartet was the perfect musical accompaniment to the ceremony. The reception party grooved to the classic jazz of The Alan Thomas Group. The wedding invitations were custom designed by Anna Bond of Rifle Paper Co (a new favorite of mine!).The day ended with the newlyweds walking through sparklers out to the dock where their boat awaited them. A perfect ending to a completely perfect day!

All our love to you Anik and JD!

KIMBERLY & ALEX | NEW YORK, NEW YORK | ENGAGEMENT

Well we just couldn’t hold off on blogging a few of these images from our recent NYC Engagement Session with Kim and Alex. What a treat it was shooting them–they were so fun and willing to shoot lots of great locations, despite heat and traffic!

We started off the day shooting in midtown. Kim and Alex had arranged for one of their friends, who is with the NYPD, to snap a few fun pics before starting on his shift for the day. So fun!!! Then we headed down into the subway for LOTS of great shots, then back up street-side to Times Square where we immortalized the iPad for Kim & Alex’s family scrapbooks, and got a few “city shots” walking through the midtown traffic and hustle bustle. Then we stopped at SweetiePie for a quick bite to eat and a milkshake (yup–and yes this place is AWESOME), and snapped some cute pics in the process. Finally we headed over to Queens to 5-Points for some urban graffiti shots.

Alex and Kim, you guys rock! Can’t wait for the big day in November at the Ritz Carlton Sarasota!

DANIELLE & STEVE | Lady Lake, Florida | Wedding

Danielle and Steve’s beautiful wedding took place at the Harbor Hills Country Club in Lady Lake, Florida. Danielle’s impeccable taste in colors, decor and style created a complete masterpiece. Every detail was thoughtfully put together, from the bridesmaids’ amazing dresses and custom designed necklaces, to the reception’s fabulous blue and green decor! Danielle and Steve had a first look prior to the ceremony, which is always a treat for us. We took the couple around the grounds getting wonderful images of the two of them! When time allows we love to let our creative juices flow and have some fun with the bride and groom portraits. It was fantastic to have so much time and excitement put into the photography by Danielle and Steve! They were both amazing to work with! Their friendship and love for each other was a beautiful thing to document!After a night of dancing, the happy couple was sent off with the glow of sparklers!

Dallas & Demetrius | Ybor City, Florida | Engagement

Dallas and Demetrius are such a cool and romantic couple! They met and fell in love while working together at an Italian restaurant (thus the engagement ring around pasta!). I love the images of them around Ybor City because they captured the sweetness and closeness of their relationship. They also did awesome on their wardrobe choices and I especially love the blue heels Dallas wore! So fun!!
