Cecilia & Anthony: Engaged!

When I met Cecilia and Anthony, I was just memorized by their love for each other. I wanted to just take a pencil and draw an imaginary heart around them...they were so cute together! We discussed the details for their Cocoa Beach wedding, and Cecilia was just bubbling with excitement.

For the first part of their engagement session, her dad brought his remodeled 1967 Ford Mustang. I am not a car person, but you really don't have to be to admire the beauty in this car. It was stunning! Her mom and dad stayed with us for the first portion of their session, and it was really great having them there. Afterwards, her dad left and we drove to the heart of Downtown Orlando. Her mom was amazing and carried all of their props and clothing for them. We walked around in the extremely hot and humid morning weather, but Anthony & Cecilia smiled through it all! They really are such happy individuals!

Enjoy the sneak peek!

Another one of my favorites :-)

I don't know why, but I just love the bus passing behind them.

Kristin & Ryan: Engaged!

Kristin and I met about 6 or 7 years ago when we both worked at Dueling Dragons in Islands of Adventure. She and I trained together and hit it off right away. When we both stopped working there, we unfortunately lost touch...but I was so excited when she contacted me about photographing her engagement and wedding photos! Our session this morning was absolutely amazing. Kristin and Ryan were just meant for each other in every single way. They are so cute, *corny*, and loving to each other, which in my opinion is the recipe for a perfect life together! We met at Lake Apopka in Winter Garden in the morning, and even though it was hot, humid and a big foggy over the lake, they were still so cute and excited! After our lake photos we headed to downtown Winter Garden for the remainder of the session. We found an adorable coffee shop with such a great vibe. Kristin had the Nutella latte, which she said was unbelievably delicious. ;)

At the end of our session, we were all pretty hot from this lovely Florida weather. Kristin spotted an interactive fountain, and with a bit of persuasion we both convinced Ryan that it was a good idea to get in there! Those are some of my favorite photos to date! Enjoy your sneak peek guys! We can't wait for your January wedding!


She's a dancer, in case you couldn't tell :)

I am very curious to know what made them throw their hands up like this...

And here are some of my favorite photos to date!

Amanda & Johnathan: Engaged!

Amanda and Johnathan found us through one of our past couple's, Jeff & Meredith (view their Key Largo wedding here). When I met with them, they were such a sweet and happy couple, and I was really looking forward to their engagement session (and of course their wedding)! We had their session yesterday at the amazing Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando. There are so many incredible locations to photograph in there!

We are looking forward to your wedding!!! Enjoy your sneak peek.

I'm always looking for fun reflection shots :)

Even though we couldn't get a full view of this beautiful city, at least we were able to snag some shots with a few buildings!

Wine cellar shot---LOVED that room!

The left one is my favorite from their session. I love the colors and the way Johnathan and Amanda are looking at each other :)

Jessica's Bridesmaid Session

What better way to tell your bridesmaids how much you love them than to have a fun session together? Jessica and her bridesmaids made their photo shoot weekend a weekend get-together and I just know they had a blast spending so much time with each other. We met at Disney's Boardwalk on Sunday morning, and even though it was hot and they were wearing heels throughout the entire shoot, I could tell they loved it all. Jessica is such a bubbly, energetic girl who smiles 90% of the time (the other 10% is when she is making her gorgeous "you know you want me" look which you will see in some of these photos). We had such a great time having ourselves a girly morning, and I absolutely adore the photos! We can't wait for your 11-11-11 wedding Jess! The photos from your wedding are going to be amazing!

Enjoy your sneak peek!


Some of my favorites :)

I just adore this one!

Johanna & Kyle: Married!

Johanna & Kyle found me through one of the bridal shows we participated in. One of her lovely friends went to the show for her to collect information (such a good friend!). After meeting with them and discussing their wedding details, I was very excited to be their photographer. They are both so down to Earth and friendly (and very needless to say; gorgeous!), and I knew that photographing them would be amazing. When I got to the hotel to start shooting pre-ceremony photos of Johanna, she was so relaxed. She was smiling and laughing the entire time, and it was really a pleasure to be in that sort of atmosphere. Their wedding was phenomenal to say the least. The ceremony was heartfelt, the cocktail hour was great for the guests (so much great food!), and the reception was to die for! Pink flooded the ballroom and made for some stunning photos.

Enjoy the sneak peek!

I was in love with her wedding dress!

I love the endless amount of hands in the top left photo...she was definitely Cinderella!

*Gorgeous couple*

Amazing ballroom, courtesy of Soundwave Entertainment.

Great photo captured by Daniel of Kyle playing with his ring. It's so funny how long it takes guys to get used to wearing one!

One of my favorite images from their wedding. Isn't she stunning?

Meet baby Owen

I met Zack and Laura through my husband, Craig. Zack and Craig work together, and I loved meeting the two of them a few months ago. Laura is such a sweet person, and it was obvious that the two of them were going to be amazing parents. When they e-mailed me asking to take their newborn photos, I was ecstatic! First of all, if you know me you know that I absolutely LOVE babies. So when I finally got to meet little Owen yesterday, I was thrilled. He was fast asleep when I arrived, but that didn't last too long. He refused to fall asleep, but it ended up working out great! I love the sparkle in a baby's eyes, and Owen wanted to make sure that I would capture it for his parents. He is such a cutie, and I cannot wait to watch him grow and photograph them more over the course of the year.

Enjoy your sneak peak!

He gave me a little grin! How cute!!! :)

This one is my FAVORITE.

Doesn't he look so tiny in that big crib? Such a sweetheart.

Little ears, fingers and toes...love them.
