Jen & Jeff: Married! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

Jen & Jeff are one of the most incredible couples we've had the pleasure of photographing. We did their engagement session back in January, and if you haven't seen it, you should! Go here to view it. :)

Their wedding was at beautiful Paradise Cove in Lake Buena Vista. The venue is perfect for couples who love the beach scene, but would rather not drive all the way out to the beach. Everything is so intimate there, and it offers the perfect scenery for a beautiful wedding. 

Jeff's son, Elijah, was the best man. He was the most well-behaved best man I've ever met (and the youngest!), and he was such a joy to photograph. Their ceremony photos are some of my favorites that we've taken. Between Jen, Jeff and Elijah shedding happy tears throughout the ceremony, I couldn't help but get overwhelmed with emotions myself! They are such an amazing little family of three, and I had a blast photographing their big day. 

Something that I LOVE is when my couples do a "first look." If you aren't familiar with it, it's when the bride and groom see each other before the ceremony begins. It is a great way to have a moment with each other where you aren't surrounded by people. You can take the time to really look at each other, talk about how amazing you both look, love on each other, etc. And of course, you get much more photo time! <3

The Browne Family | Orlando Family Photographer

I always know that my time spent with Juana and Andy is going to be a great experience. Now, add 4 rambunctious kids, and the fun kicks in even more! We had such a great time at their mini-session last week, and I truly believe that the spirit of their family was captured in these photos. There is very little "posing" when so many kids are involved. It's all about capturing the true essence of the family, and I think we were successful. :)

Enjoy!

The Guilfoyle Family | Orlando Family Photographer

The Guilfoyle family is another family that I had the pleasure of meeting the day of their mini session. I had a blast photographing this giggly family of 5. They were laughing about 90% of the session, which is one of the many reasons I LOVE being in the photography business! Everyone is generally really happy, surrounded by loved ones and capturing some great memories together. 

Enjoy!




The Monninger Family | Orlando Family Photographer

I have had quite a few sessions with the Monninger family since Owen was born, and I was looking forward to seeing them again for their mini session. Owen's only demand during his session was to hold his bag of Pirate's Booty. As long as he had that, he was a happy camper!

Enjoy the sneak peek!

The Ferguson Family | Orlando Family Photographe

The Ferguson family kicked off this year's holiday mini-sessions. This was my first time meeting them, and I absolutely adored all of them! I loved being able to capture the special bond they each have with each other, and hopefully they had as much fun as I did during their session.

Enjoy your sneak peek!

Siena & Brett: Rock the Dress | Orlando Wedding Photographer

Siena & Brett got married earlier this month, and 10 days later we met at Kraft Azalea Gardens for their Rock the Dress session. We had such a great time running around the park getting some amazing photos. If you haven't seen their wedding post yet, you'll want to take a look at it here

Enjoy their sneak peek! <3

What I love about the photo below is the effort it took to get it. She was so patient with me when I was trying to get the perfect shot! :) 
Time to change into some fun shoes!

The Buckalew's! | Orlando Family Photographer

This is now the TENTH time that I have had the pleasure of photographing this amazing family. I have seen them go from a family of 2 to a family of 4! I adore everything about them and their two beautiful children, and I am so looking forward to continuing to photograph them over the years. For this session, we met at Mennello Museum in Orlando. The tree there is so unbelievable, with it's branches extending all the way to the ground creating the most incredible backdrop. In fact, my mini sessions this year will be at this location! 
Enjoy!
