Shannon & Shawn

Shannon & Shawn were the winners of our We Belong Together contest a little while back. We met at Portofino Bay Hotel for their fun couples session. The two of them have been dating for about one year now, and they really are a fun loving couple! They worked the camera and made my job very easy by doing so. I'm pretty sure Shannon laughed the entire time :)

Enjoy your sneak peak guys!

My favorite green door :)

Selah & Jessica

I met Jessica and her incredibly beautiful daughter, Selah, through one of my very first brides, Lauren. When I was preparing for my own wedding, I decided that I wanted a fun hair clip and some other unique wedding items (ring bearer pillow and flower girl baskets). Lauren pointed me in Jessica's direction and told me how talented she is with creating unique items. After seeing some of her work on her Facebook page (check her out by searching for Not Sew Shabby), I knew I had to use her! She put together the most amazing flower girl baskets, ring bearer pillow and hair clip that I had ever seen. After the wedding, Jessica decided to book a session for her and Selah. Look at these two...such a beautiful mother and daughter!

Enjoy your sneak peak! :) And thanks for your help in making our wedding unique!

Jessica is a huge Twilight fan. It's great incorporating some of your hobbies into photos.


Isn't she angelic? She has an amazing personality to go with her beauty :)



Selah had some fun ideas of her own for photos. She would be the perfect little Sivan Photography sidekick! I'd love to take credit for this photo on the right, but it was all Selah. Can you believe that??




I love this set :)

Anne & Steven's Anniversary

Anne & Steve are an absolutely amazing couple. Last weekend they celebrated their first anniversary with quite the party. We started with family photos by the lake, and thankfully the rain did not make it's way to us. In fact, it was a gorgeous day.

Anne and Steve are such a fun-spirited couple, and their positive attitudes are very contagious! They laughed throughout the entire day, making the celebration a great time for all of their vendors and guests. Thank you for letting me be part of this amazing anniversary!

Enjoy your sneak peak!

I absolutely *adored* their center pieces.



I love the one on the right here. She is checking out her gorgeous new wedding band from Steven.





What party is complete without crazy straws?! :)



My favorite :)

Mary & Chris: Pregnant!

Mary & Chris have been good friends of ours for years now, and when Craig and I found out that they were having a baby we were just elated! They were actually the very first couple that I photographed at the beginning of my photography career, and I was honored to be able to photograph such a special time in their lives yesterday. Their little baby girl is due in just about one month, and I cannot wait to meet her! Mary & Chris, I truly love you both and I am so excited for you in this new stage of your lives. You two will make the most incredible parents...I can't wait until she is here! :)

Mylee is such a sweet pup! She was also a GREAT model! She looked straight at the camera for their family portraits :)


This one is my absolute favorite photo. Mary, you are stunning beyond words.


Mylee got so confused when she felt the baby kick! But until then, she was very content on her momma's belly.







Man's best friend, always :)

Jenn & Shawn: Married!

I met Jenn during my freshmen year of college at UCF. Her twin sister, Erin, was my resident assistant my first summer there, and then Jenn became my new RA the following semester. She has always been such a sweetheart and someone who really cares for those around her. Her fun spirit is contagious, so it is no wonder why Shawn found his soulmate in her. Shawn and Jenn's wedding was so full of love, and it was really great to be part of it. I wish you two the best life together and I hope to see you more often! Enjoy your sneak peak :)

The photo on the right is a mirror shot of the twins getting ready (Jenn in the front, Erin in the back)




These guys were so much fun to work with!



Very fun group :)
