We met up with Clint and Meagan at The Florida Carriage Museum and Resort. This place is gorgeous! Their reception will be held here next year in November. It was perfect timing to go this year the same time for their engagement session, so we could “scout it out” at the same time. I just fell in love with the place and can’t WAIT to shoot their wedding portraits here!

They had this barn full of hay, which let in the perfect amount of light. Seriously, I think we could have shot the entire session in here!

They were constantly laughing with each other. I love this shot!

And here is their baby boy, Blake, the absolute love of their lives. How could you not be head over heels in love with this face? And it just happens to be his birthday today! HAPPY BIRTHDAY BLAKE!

We are anticipating verrrweee cute pictures of him all dressed up at the wedding!

Clint and Meagan, thanks for being so much fun to hang out with, looking forward to seeing you sooner than later!

Jenny contacted me after I shoot a session with her sister, Heather, and her family. These five were so amazing to work with. I think we could have had their session done in 15 minutes, just because they were that easy. But that didn’t happen because I was enjoying their company and their enthusiasm about being photographed together.

Thanks Jenny and Paul for inviting me to take pictures of your wonderful family. I had such a great time!

How cute are they!! It’s like a GAP ad : )

This was our last wedding of the year. What a way to wrap it up!

Alyssa was beaming from the moment that I saw her alllll the way through the end of the night. It was infectious. The entire room was either beaming with smiles or tearing up with happiness while she got ready. I am pretty sure I have a permanent laugh line left behind because of this day : )

Their friends and family made us feel so included! What a wonderful pleasure it was to get to know everyone. And Joe, if you read this, seriously…Seattle here we come : )…soon!

Rob and Alyssa, thank you for trusting us to capture your most important day. You made it extremely easy though. Who ordered the awesome weather? I need their number!

Oh yes, and those of you who don’t know Alyssa, she LOVES the color pink.

The reception and ceremony were held at The Shores Resort and Spa, which was a spectacular venue.

A little pre-wedding toast:

Alyssa’s G.O.R.G.E.O.U.S dress, my mouth literally fell open when I saw it:

Their pups, Xander and Jasper, coming down the aisle. Only real men can wear pink : )

Alyssa’s big sister, best friend and maid of honor, Abby:

Yes that is pink in her hair, love it!

Hello shoe hotness!

Caught in mid air during the “hop 2 times” of the cha cha slide. ha.

Stephanie (Weddings by Stephanie) and her crew, I caught them stealing carrying away the gifts. They did an amazing job coordinating the wedding!

I love love this shot:

Ok, so you know when the crowd forms a circle and wants people to go in one at a time and show off their dance moves? Well, yes, you may see us…do our thing:

Nice grab:

Ring love:

Here are some of our favorites of Bryan and Emily’s wedding! The beautiful ceremony took place at Saint Rita’s Catholic Church. Then the party got going at The Player’s Club for the reception.

Bryan and Emily, congratulations again! It was great getting to know you two this year, tromping around in West Palm Beach and getting us addicted Jon Smith’s yummy subs.  We hope that you have an AMAZING time on your cruise around Australia! How many of you are super jealous? We are!

I love love love this shot that Beau got of the guys:

Buttons  : )

The bridesmaids checking out who has arrived for the ceremony:

It’s Saint Rita’s ceiling gorgeous!

This is what happens when I am testing light for family portraits:

Love this light:

First dance, awesome job!

The dance floor stayed like this the ENTIRE night. NO BREAKS, people! This crowd knew how to do it the right way!

Another amazing shot that I love by Beau:

Oh facebook how I love thee. If it was not for you I would not be able to reconnect with so many people! I knew Kelly back in the day…high school that is. My favorite picture of that era of my life includes her. Me, Kelly and our friends, Dawn and Marcie, standing by our florescent orange lockers. Oh the memories…After high school we lost touch, but through facebook I found her again. And to come find out, she lives about five minutes from me. Go figure.

Now she is sporting the cutest little haircut, little girl and little baby belly! We had to reschedule the shoot and unfortunately her husband wasn’t able to make the second date. But we will hopefully be able to capture the entire family once the new little girl arrives.

Until then…

This is exactly how I remember Kelly…minus the baby belly : )

She is so precious : )

Definitely my fav:

I love the random fields we find.

Here is a further glance at Juan and Rosalind’s wedding. We’re keeping this one short out of respect for the private couple.

I wanted to get this post up before Kevin left Florida to go back to California to his base tomorrow. He came home just long enough to see his beautiful bride to be and to indulge us in taking their pictures for this awesome engagement session. Distance definitely makes the heart grow fonder and you can tell it with these two!

So the apple doesn’t fall far from this family tree, Bridgette is cousin’s with Dan (from the fabulous duo of Dan and Jen), man this family is rockin’ with energy and funness. Yah, I am pretty sure I just made that word up.We can’t wait to see what hotness they bring to their wedding next year. Oooo we can’t wait.

Gorgeous. Kevin is one lucky guy

They are so darn cute!

When Bridgette mentioned she wanted to create the V-J Day in Times Square, aka The War’s End Kiss, I about flipped, I was soooo excited. I have had that photo in my “ideas” folder since day one. And why I didn’t think of it first, with Kevin being a sailor and all, is beyond me.

I would say that this is my favorite, but I can’t because all of them are!!

ok…maybe this one is my fav…

It is days like these that I love living in Florida.

Kevin, we hope you have a safe trip back and can’t wait to see you next year. We hope that these next couple of months fly by for the two of you!
