Courtney & Bill's Wedding

You may remember me posting Courtney and Bill's engagement session back in April. I had the pleasure of shooting their wedding at the end of May at TPC Sawgrass. Courtney had a fabulous wedding planner, Angela Renick of A'vie Weddings and Events. She was super organized and was a pleasure to work with. I highly recommend her! TPC is a gorgeous location for a wedding. Lots of great photo opportunities and good lighting, which you know I enjoy! Courtney and Bill are so cute together, I love spending time with them. Bill is from New Jersey, as was most of the groomsmen and they were a hilarious group. You'll find some pretty funny pics below of the best man stripping down to his wrestling suit to take on the groom at the end of his toast. It was easily the funniest toast I've ever seen! We got a ton of great photos on the big day, but these are some of my faves. Enjoy! And congratulations to one of my favorite couples! Thanks for letting me be a part of your wonderful event. I thoroughly enjoyed it :)


I couldn't decide which one of these was prettier of this stunning bride, so I posted both! Courtney looks so beautiful when she laughs.


What a gorgeous lady! BEAUTIFUL!


One of the things I love about Courtney and Bill is that they laugh, A LOT! After they poured their sand (see bottom left pic above), Courthey said "I beat you!". It got a lot of laughs, she's pretty competitive by nature.


The next two picture pairs below were taken by my assistant, Kathryn. Great shots, Kat!


I asked them if they were willing to jump into the air to be silly and they totally were, I LOVE THIS SHOT! Look how high Courtney got!


The father daughter dance was touching to watch, you could tell they were soaking it in for the moment it really was.

Amy & Alan's Wedding

I shot Amy & Alan's wedding in May at the Hilton Beach Resort in Clearwater Beach, FL. What a cute couple! They met in Clearwater, and so decided to return to have their wedding there. It was a lovely, casual and fun event. The weather was pristine, not a cloud in the sky, perfect for an outdoor beach wedding! And we lucked out with a gorgeous west coast sunset after they sealed the deal. I had a wonderful time shooting this event and was amongst friends, which is always nice when you're working all day-haha! Congratulations to Amy & Alan, I hope the honeymoon in Costa Rica was fabulous! Enjoy some of my favorite images from the day.


Amy's sister and maid of honor handmade champagne glasses for the bride and all the bridesmaids, TOO CUTE!


Gorgeously dramatic, love it!


How about this light!
This is a happy couple!


Amy & Alan had a super cool first dance, which was really made up of several dances all to different songs, and they really got into it! You guys rock!

I love night shots, we grabbed this one near the end of the event, its one of my faves!

Kyle & Fernanda's Wedding

Kyle and Fernanda got married recently at The Tampa Club. It was a small, intimate event with family and friends. Fernanda is from Brazil and made a beautiful bride! She was wonderful to shoot because she was fully of energy as soon as you turned the camera on her. Brazilian women seem to have that modeling gene! We really tried to utilize the downtown landscape to bring an urban feel to some of their wedding photos. We also got lucky with great lighting! I think the bride and groom did a great job and we were able to capture some wonderful, memorable images. Congratulations to Kyle & Fernanda! Check out some of my favorite images from the day below.


Definitely one of my favorite shots of the day!

Courtney & Bill's Engagement Session

I shot Courtney and Bill's engagement session over the weekend here in Ocala. Their wedding is coming up at the end of May. Courtney is from Ocala, Bill from New Jersey. Courtney told me that Bill is a big fan of the Ocala mossy oaks, so we did part of their session surrounded by trees. Courtney and Bill are a gorgeous couple, Bill is so sweet with her. He's very tall and she's very tiny and he just swallows her up in his arms. They have great chemistry. I can't wait to shoot the wedding! Thanks for being such good sports during the shoot, you guys. Here are some of my many faves from the session.

I loved this series, Bill said something shocking to Courtney that made them both laugh out loud, I wonder what it was....................

Kenzie Eyewear Shoot

I shot an eyewear campaign recently for the Kenzie eyewear line by Parris Optics, the newest line of eyewear designed by Lange Eye Care. I had the two Lange sisters as my models, Brittany, the gorgeous brunette, and Mackenzie, the adorable blond baby girl. Modeling eyewear wasn't high on the list of priorities for three year old Mackenzie, but we managed to get a few cute shots of her! Enjoy some of my favorites from the session below.


How funny is this little goofball?!


This is the last image I shot, Mackenzie was climbing on my ladder and I snapped this shot of her, it might be my favorite from the day!

Rodger & Cate's Engagement Session

I did an engagement session with Rodger and Cate in Cedar Key, FL last Sunday. We had gorgeous weather, despite the crazy winds that were whipping around and the challenge of keeping Cate's hair from smothering her face! We had a great time hopping from spot to spot enjoying the sun and sea. We ended the session with a perfect West coast sunset over the water. Thanks for braving the winds and being so natural together in front of the camera. A few of my favorites below.
