KIMBERLY & ALEX | NEW YORK, NEW YORK | ENGAGEMENT

admin — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 03:07:35 +0000

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!

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!!

JEn & James | Sarasota, Florida | Engagement

Here are some fun shots of the lovely Jen and James! Nothing better than sunset at the beach! J&J were a treat to photograph and spend time with!

Amber & Dan | Sarasota, Florida | Engagement

Amber and Dan started their photo session with the whole family. Their little Frenchies definitely weren’t camera shy and, man, were they cute! After the K-9 kids went for a rest, Amber and Dan ventured out toward the beach. These two love birds were easy and comfortable in front of the camera, and it was a complete pleasure working with them.

Jessi & Bob | St. Petersburg, Florida | Engagement

admin — Sat, 03 Apr 2010 04:23:58 +0000

Jessi and Bob are sea-loving folks, spending much of their free-time on the ocean. We thought it fitting to start their engagement session at the St. Petersburg Yacht Club amongst the boats. Keeping to the nautical theme, we moved on toward the St. Petersburg Pier going out on the docks and sea wall. Jesse and Bob are great people and we’re thrilled for them and their upcoming marriage!!

ANIK & JD | SARASOTA, FLORIDA | ENGAGEMENT

admin — Fri, 26 Mar 2010 04:45:40 +0000

Despite the set backs of being rained out twice, Anik and JD’s vintage-style photo shoot came together perfectly! Anik and JD put a lot of care into their stylized engagement session and we love all the details they brought to the shoot! Jeff met up with them at the gorgeous Marie Selby Gardens in Sarasota. They brought a picnic basket, blanket and a couple great wardrobe changes and even rented beach cruisers! JD and Anik were so easy going and wonderful to work with. Their great love for each other is very apparent and we can’t wait to be part of their upcoming wedding!

Danielle & Steve | St. Petersburg, Florida | Engagement

KANDK — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 05:44:03 +0000

Danielle and Steve’s engagement session was photographed in several locations near the St Petersburg Pier. The first was the St Petersburg Yacht Club, and the employees there were VERY nice and allowed us to capture some romantic shots of Steve & Danielle in and around the yacht yard, and even in their 19ft sailboats! It was a blast! Steve even took the opportunity to give Danielle a little lesson in his rigging and sailing skills.

We then drove over to the sea wall just across from the pier to get some shots in the grass and along the water just before sunset. While shooting there, we were SO lucky to find ourselves only feet away from two dolphins racing up and down along the wall catching fish. It was an amazing opportunity to capture pictures of Steve and Danielle with dolphins and made for a very memorable shoot for all of us.

In this final photo Danielle and Steve got a last glimpse of the pair of dolphins before they left for the evening.

Amber & Chace | Tierra Verde, Florida | Engagement

admin — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 07:39:21 +0000

Engagement sessions give us a chance to be more free to play and experiment. The pressures of time constraints aren’t there like they are at a wedding, leaving us free to have fun and really let the creative juices flow. With that said, when I look at the photographs below of Amber and Chace, I can see that it can be just as fun to be on the other side of the camera. I love knowing that our subjects are enjoying themselves as much as we are!

Amber and Chace’s engagement session was at Fort DeSoto Park. This location was amazing because of the variety of different “looks”. One moment they’re in the tall grass, next surrounded by forest, followed by open beach, then a stroll on the boardwalk and even at the waters edge with the boulders of a rock jetty behind. Add to that a gorgeous day and a great couple who absolutely delight in each others company and I’d say that ’s a home run.

Lindsay & Ferdi | Fashion Portraiture | Engagement

admin — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 07:04:26 +0000

This was definitely not your typical engagement session! After meeting Lindsay, Jeff noted her striking resemblance to Twilight actress, Kirsten Stewart. Just prior to meeting her Jeff had been studying some of the lighting and editing techniques used by the Twilight photographer, Joey L. He was interested in creating this look and feel in one of his up and coming shoots and Lindsay was just the inspiration he was looking for. He approached her and her fiancee, Ferdi, with the idea of a Twilight themed fashion shoot for their engagement session. They were absolutely thrilled with the idea. That started the wheels in motion. To pull off a shoot like that takes a bit more than a typical engagement session. Hours of research and scouting went into finding the perfect location needed to create the look and feel of Twilight. We brought in Christine Wheaton of Femme Akoi for hair, make-up and wardrobe consultation. She stayed on location for the whole shoot, keeping our models looking just right. Though having no prior modeling experience, Lindsay and Ferdi were naturals in front of the camera and we were honestly blown away by how great they did! Here are some of the images from this amazing shoot!

(This final image can be found in the current issue of Brides Florida Magazine! )

The feedback from this shoot has been overwhelming and we are thrilled with all the excitement it has generated! Honestly, who wouldn’t love a professional fashion shoot of themselves with a theme that is special to them, be it their favorite time period in history, or maybe a favorite movie, or style. With the opening of our new Studio in March we absolutely plan to offer Fashion Portraiture Engagement Sessions to all our couples!

A huge thank you goes to Christine of Femme Akoi for not only being an amazing hair and make-up artist, but for also being the ultimate Twilight expert due to her personal obsession with the series . And thank you to Lindsay and Ferdi for helping inspire a whole new realm for Engagement sessions!

Lindsey & Mitch | Cocoa Beach, Florida | Engagement

admin — Fri, 29 Jan 2010 04:56:40 +0000

We had such a fun time with Lindsey & Mitch at their Engagement Session on Cocoa Beach. It’s always fun to shoot somewhere new, somewhere that’s fresh and inspiring. In this shoot we used multiple locations near to the Cocoa Beach Pier, and even the underside of the pier itself, to create several different “looks” for the session. Lindsey and Mitch were AMAZING and SO easy to work with, and so genuinely in love. Thanks for being so fun and for being “ridiculously ridiculously good looking”.
