Liz & Brian: Married!

In case you don't remember (or haven't seen) Liz and Brian's engagement session, you can view it by clicking on that link. I met these two love birds at the Your Wedding TV Bridal Show a few months back. There is just something about the two of them that is so amazing, you just can't help but smile around them. Their love for each other and for life itself shows so much in their personalities, it really is amazing. Craig and I joined them at the Grand Bohemian Hotel in Downtown Orlando where they each had separate rooms to get ready in. We then headed toward Rollin's College to Knowles Chapel for their ceremony (which was GORGEOUS). That was my first time photographing in there and I just loved it so much. The reception took place at Leu Gardens and everything just went *perfectly* for their wedding day. Did I mention that the weather was unbelievably gorgeous? Enjoy their sneak peak! ;)

I love the details of her dress! Absolutely stunning :)

If you can't tell, Liz is a very happy person :-D


The guys all taking a part in helping Brian get ready. Such gentlemen :)



Amazing Tiffany's rings





This is Liz's stunning mom. I didn't pose her, by the way...she just really knows how to work the camera!


Okay...this picture right here is the reason I stress having two photographers. Craig caught the perfect moment of Brian's expression when Liz walked in while I was photographing her entrance. I just LOVE it!


Absolutely beautiful chapel


I wish all venues had two floors so I could get more shots like this!


Brian loves kissing his bride...he can't get enough!



Brian, you expression is priceless here :) (and yes...the roles were reversed for the placement of the garter!)



A view from outside


The formal dances :)

The next three pictures are my absolute favorites from the entire day. You would think these two were posing for a magazine!




*Breathtaking* couple





I loved this group :)

Teneisha & David - Engaged!

Teneisha and David are a great couple who met at Duke. Their engagement session was in Downtown Orlando, and we definitely got a good exercise during their 2 hours! Let's just say that me and downtown are not exactly the best of friends...but thank goodness for smart phones to help find our way to Lake Eola! After a good walk around downtown looking for our destination, we finally got in all of the key shots for the day :) They were such great sports about it, and I really enjoyed photographing them! Keep an eye out for their wedding on 09-10-11 (what an awesome day!!!). Enjoy the sneak peak!

David is a lover of all things game, so I thought taking a picture under this was just appropriate :)


Good things come out of getting lost: we found this gorgeous wall of plants to take a picture by!








Love this one :)

The Hummel Family

Meet the Hummel family! In the contest that I had a while back (The Cutest Kid Contest), I had a very close runner up, and that was the blue-eyed beauty you see in these photos. I wanted to give them a nice discount for being so close to winning the free session, and I am so happy she took me up on the offer! Tate and Brookelyn are very energetic kids, but chasing them around was well worth it for these shots. I love the natural, "kids being kids" feel, and I definitely think that was achieved with these two. Enjoy the sneak peak! :)

No wonder Tate and Brookelyn are so stunning!




I loved when she would start staring off. That dreamy look is just gorgeous!


Their aunt (whoops...I don't think she knew I took her picture!) deserves some credit for making the kids laugh. I'm pretty sure Woody from Toy Story was doing crazy dance moves on my head at one point...but it worked!




Seriously...she is one of the funniest little girls I have ever met! So many facial expressions!

No posing with this little man! It was strictly chasing after him for photos...but I love the outcome :)


She found some gorgeous flowers and was in her own little world when putting them in the fountain. That's a true girl right there :)


Poor little guy didn't want to sit still for even a second! I love how concerned Brookelyn was for him. She's a great big sister! She would randomly run up and give him hugs just because she can :)
