Carolyn & Dustin

On Saturday I had the pleasure to shoot Carolyn and Dustin’s absolutely gorgeous wedding. Every single detail was amazing. The venue, color scheme, dresses, tuxes-perfect! I loved hearing about how they met-at church, but Dustin was brave enough to send Carolyn an anonymous rose and a few years later they made the ultimate commitment. The joy and love was beautiful, with both families coming together to celebrate.

Tamara Crowe did a beautiful job on hair and makeup

I loved working with David and Kristina of Trinity Wedding video

Carolyn wore a beautiful Priscilla of Boston Gown

And the girls were decked out in amazing Lula Kate bridesmaid gowns

{married!} Cassidy & Matthew

Sometimes when I post a wedding session, I go back and check out the engagement session. I still have the same feelings as I did from their session. I will not be apologizing for any sun flair in any of these images. LOVE it. Also, Cassidy is probably one of my most enthusiastic brides when it comes to sun flare. It’s not something I knew I really did, until a few people pointed it out to me. Now, I am always on the look out for some. The weather cooperated and blessed Cassidy and Matthew with no rain, but beautiful golden light was aplenty.

One of things Cassidy had told me regarding her wedding was that it was going to be simple and sweet. I couldn’t blame her, because not only did they have a wedding to plan, but also a Bar exam to take a few months before the big day. I would have totally spazzed out, but obviously Cassidy and Matthew are way more organized and bad ass than I am. Major props are going your way-everything was absolutely amazing. I love how weddings match each of my couples. I loved the elegance of the Mansion on the Selby gardens property and the beautiful, lush greenery backdropping the day’s events. Everyone was so welcoming and excited. I love feeling that buzz that everyone gets right before the ceremony. You can’t help but absorb that anticipation.

I know you two will have a fabulous time in Maui! Take tons of pictures and enjoy your time away from wedding planning and exams (all done!!) I know you two will have a glorious marriage.

I love this session!! Yesterday, I met up with Rachel and Jared to take some engagement shots in Sarasota. I’ve never shot there, but I want to go there way more often! I always use honeymoon Island for my beach of choice, but Sarasota’s Lido beach is so beautiful! Not only did we go to the beach, but we first headed over to the Ringling Museum for some shots. Amazing experience, even though we did get kicked out. I had a feeling we might, but it was so worth it!

Words cannot express how amazing Rachel and Jared are! Gorgeous couple and amazing personalities! I don’t know if Rachel and I will ever be able to keep our conversations on point-we start off talking about photography, but it turns into use gabbing about other things. I am truly excited for your wedding day, you guys! Thank you for taking me to such a prime location for a shoot and for also breaking a rule or two with me! Also, thanks for braving the cold and windy weather and shooting on game day! Also, thanks for not thinking I was nutty when I told you to chase some birds! haha, I’m like a crazy bird lady, looking for ways to scares them!

Fave shot!!
Yeah, Rachel, you can put it away. You’re gorgeous!!
