Amanda & Dmitry: Engaged! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

I had such a great time walking around downtown Orlando with Amanda & Dmitry. They are such a fun-loving, happy couple. Their wedding next year is going to be absolutely beautiful! We can't wait! <3

Lauren & Steve: Engaged! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

I absolutely adore Lauren & Steve! We met in downtown Winter Garden for part 1 of their engagement session. It was a little chilly and overcast, but nothing we couldn't handle. After strolling around the beautiful streets for a bit, we then headed to a field nearby for their country themed portion of the session. She threw on her cute plaid shirt, some bright red lipstick, and they both put on their boots. 

We had such a great time, and I hope they love their photos as much as I do! We can't wait for your big day in 2013! <3 

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!

Cassie & Jonathan: Married! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

Cassie & Jonathan contacted me earlier this year to book us for their September wedding.  They were so sweet, and we were really looking forward to their wedding at the Courtyard at Lake Lucerne. The day finally arrived, and the skies were definitely threatening us with some ugly clouds. Though we JUST made it with the outdoor ceremony and family portraits, the heavens opened and it started to rain...and rain...and RAIN. I couldn't believe that we didn't have our typical 20 minute Florida showers, but rather hours and hours! Regardless, we made our way inside and upstairs for some beautiful photos of this lovely couple. 

Their wedding was so full of love and happiness, and we were so excited to have been part of it. Missy was there with me as well, and we had a really great time with all of the guests. <3

Enjoy the sneak peek!

Audra | Orlando Family Photogarpher

I met Michelle & Kevin at a wedding we were photographing last year. Michelle was pregnant with their first child, and I was thrilled when I was able to do Audra's newborn photos! Almost one year later, here we are getting photos of Audra grown up and adorable as EVER! She just started walking not too long ago (I think less than 2 weeks ago!), so having her sit down in one spot was not happening. She was a happy camper...as long as she was walking around freely. :) She's just an independent little baby, and so unbelievably photogenic. I loved seeing this little family of three again, and I hope to photograph more of Audra as the years go on! <3 

I love how ready Michelle was here while Kevin and Audra were being silly. :) |

Charlie & Angela: Engaged! | Orlando Wedding Photographer

The way I ended up doing Charlie and Angela's engagement session is pretty interesting to me. They actually won our grand prize at the Perfect Wedding Guide bridal show not too long ago. The funny part is that I went to school with Charlie, and of the hundreds of brides at bridal shows, I happen to know the one who got picked! I actually hadn't seen Charlie for a very, very long time until recently. We photographed a wedding where he was the best man, and I met Angela that day too. Weeks later, Angela called me and said "guess whaaaaaat?" :) I was so excited to do their photos! I love meeting new people constantly (part of why I absolutely love doing wedding photography!), but occasionally I get to photograph people that I already know, and it feels great to be able to capture some of their memories through photographs for them. 

At the end of their engagement session, which was in downtown Winter Garden (one of my favorite locations!), they made a quick trip to go get their pooch, Autumn. She is such a sweet little pup, and a real beauty too! She gave me some really great shots with that cute little face of hers. 

Enough talk, more photos. Enjoy! :)
