I first met Carly at JoBeth’s (my talented hairstylist friend) bridal shower luncheon. I remember JoBeth telling me that we would get along perfectly. Yep, she was right. I sat next to her and we talked like two little school girls the whole time. She is such a true person and super funny.

Enter Ty.

When she started to tell me about him, I knew he was it. It was like hearing myself talk about Beau. This is why I do this for a living. I want to be that person that captures that feeling and puts it down on paper (or disc-whichever, you get the point).

I had so many pictures to choose from to put up here it was hard to narrow it down to just these. Carly was gorgeous, Ty was very handsome. Their families are some of the sweetest people I have ever met and truly made this wedding. We can’t wait to see how they grow as a couple. Both Beau and I are blessed to have such real people as friends.

I hope that they are getting nice and tanned on their two week cruise. Maybe they will spend $3.00/min to check the internet on the ship to check out the pictures:

Love it, this is soooo Carly:

She had to hold onto the girls, while momsie was lacing up her dress:

I mean, seriously!!! Stunning!

I pretty much did a backhand spring when I saw the bridesmaids’ shoes:

Time for her dad to see her, I was crying, so I can’t believe I got these, it was truly so touching:

Carly’s only wish, well besides Ty showing up, was for the audience to rise once she got to their aisle. We can’t believe everyone listened, it was pretty neat to watch:

Rev Glynn: Ty do you take Carly to be your wife.

Ty: Heck ya I do!

Love times 1 million this picture:

Best group portrait ever!

Yummy details. Thanks to the Yayas for making the reception so gorgeous!

We were introduced to Mike and Marla, through the fabulous event coordinators, Ami and Jessica, with Revitalize Weddings + Events. We knew, just from working with Ami and Jessica in the past that Mike and Marla were going to be a blast to work with. Wow, were we blown away with them. We had to reschedule them from a yucky raining day back in December to a cold “this can’t be Florida” day here in January. Although, it was the warmest day of the week.

During the session, we would give them some direction and off they would run, being super cute with each other. They were laughing in about 95% of the session. It was great! I really really love laughing pictures.

Really.

Love it!:

Marla took one for the team and changed into this cute little number:

FAV! Snagged by Beau.

The wonderful duo of Revitalize Weddings + Events. Ami and Jessica were so wonderful to come out and play during the photoshoot, they always bring a dynamic energy with them.

The following was captured by Ami with her phone. This is what Beau and I have termed the “B-squared Stack”. Whenever we need some height, up I go. He is such a trooper

Now Mike and Marla have their own…lets name it the M&M Mound.

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!

Fav:

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:

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

Here is a small sneak peek from the wedding that we photographed last weekend at the beautiful Renaissance Tampa International Plaza.

Long veils make me swoon!

Don’t forget to follow us on facebook for special announcements that are exclusive to facebook!

And since posts are better with pictures…here is one from our trip to the beach. Our sea turtle. We finished him just in time…before he decided to go back  into the ocean. Stupid waves.

Welcome to another installation of Addiction Wednesday.

Have you heard of Rita’s Italian Ice ? If you haven’t I suggest you click on the link and find the nearest location and CHECK them out!! YUMMY. Seriously, with the temperature reaching near 180 degrees here in Florida, who wouldn’t want to have some nice ice? This past weekend when we visited they had –wait for it–Swedish Fish as a flavor. I about jumped for joy, actually I kind of did. I didn’t think they could get any better. Sadly, come to find out, this was the last weekend that they were serving it. Beau and I contemplated buying a couple of gallons–hey this isn’t called Addiction Wednesday for nothing!–but realistically we couldn’t fit that much into our freezer. But we took pictures of the fanastic memory of the Swedish Fish flavored Italian ice with custard.

I seriously couldn’t make it through editing this wedding without tearing up. 364 days prior to Dan and Jen getting married at Leu Gardens, Beau and I sealed the deal there. So I think that I was a little more emotional than normal, typically you will find me crying behind the lens. We have become fast friends with this wonderful couple. I am so happy that our wedding photographers, Dayna and Clete recommended us to them.

We are happy that we are now able to call them our friends. Dan and Jen, we had the best time at your wedding. You two are so wonderful together and we were super happy to be the chosen ones to shoot your union!

…so when are we going camping!?!

Michael at Mosiac Hair Studio did a beautiful job on Jen’s hair. Small world, we found out that we went to the same high school, I have to dig up my yearbook.

Fav!

I did NOT pose this. Too cute!

Definitely my favorite!

I heard they were good…

The speech that Dan’s dad gave had me all choked up.

Noticed the guys in the background, obviously up to no good.

They were ambushed while trying to feed each other the cake, but they were prepared. And attacked back.

I love the cake on top of his head.

Oh yes, we dance!

Wowzers..finally I am done with this post. I had so many pictures to choose from, so hopefully you will enjoy these select. Jessica and Darren, we had such an amazing time at your wedding. It was more like we were just attending it and just happened to have an arsenal of camera equipment with us. Thank you for making us feel so welcome, that goes for your family as well. You are two lucky people to have found one another! And Beau and I are so happy that we were able to document this day for you. Congratulations! Now on with the on with the show:

Jessica’s gorgeous dress that fit her like a glove:

Meet JoBeth, aka JB (dubbed this by my sis), you want her to do your wedding hair! She is amazing. She did Caroline’s beach wedding hair and now worked her magic on Jessica’s “I refuse to hold curl” hair. Check out these curls and they held ALL night, through all the dancing and craziness. Email me and I will introduce you to JB!

The lovely ladies:

Beauty!

The guys, love Sam’s pose to the left

Now it could just be me or is that a tear in Darren’s eye??!?

One of my favs:

Sarah at Your Fantasy Affair, did a wonderful job coordinating the wedding!

There was A LOT of dancing fun, this is just a taste:
