Megan and Nathan – Davis Island Garden Club, Tampa Wedding

One week ago, Megan and Nathan were having the night of their lives with their closest friends and family at the Davis Island Garden Club in Tampa. The two had exchanged vows to spend the rest of their days together and they could finally call each other husband and wife! They had perfect weather (even with predicted thunderstorms!), a gorgeous venue, hand-crafted DIY details by the bride, and love that completely filled the room. These two met three years ago while country line dancing. Who knew, you can actually meet your future spouse in a country bar!! Megan and Nate, thank you for inviting us to document your day. We loved every minute of it!! Enjoy their love story.

Katie and Ryan – Winter Garden Wedding

April 12, 2016 Orlando, Wedding

Katie and Ryan were married under a beautiful oak tree in his grandparent’s backyard on Saturday. Their family and friends whole-heartedly cheered as they had their first kiss as husband and wife. Their wedding day held so many special details. Katie wore her mom’s wedding garter and used lace from her veil in the bridal bouquet, they buried a full bottle of bourbon near the ceremony site a month before the date to prevent rain (it worked!), and they invited Ryan’s grandparents to dance at the reception to celebrate their 61st wedding anniversary. Any wedding that has an outdoor ceremony, delicious BBQ, dancing under the stars, and a marvelous chinese lantern release is fine by me! Enjoy Katie and Ryan’s wedding day.

Travel: Blue Ridge Mountains, North Georgia

March 29, 2016 Michelle and David, Personal, Travel

Remember the good old days last year when I would post a Travel blog post once a week with a new European city? Weelll life back in the USA is wonderful but a bit less adventurous. Fortunately, David and I got to take a little getaway this past weekend to a beautiful cabin in North Georgia. Our friends Matt and Liz live in Atlanta and joined us for the weekend in Blue Ridge! We had soo much fun! This sounds silly but we were all amazed at the noticeable quietness of nature. Bird chirps and flapping wings were the only sounds we heard on the porch. It was a wonderful escape from busy life. Here’s a glimpse into our weekend. You’ll see photos from Amicalola Falls State Park, Cartecay Vineyards in Ellijay, horse rides with Adventure Trails, and apple treats from Mercier Orchards.

Happy Birthday Lily! – Donut and Lemonade Party

March 9, 2016 Family, Orlando

I became an Aunt in 2006 when my sister had her first baby girl. Fast forward six years later, David and I are backpacking in Europe, and I get a message from my sister asking “can you video chat tonight?”. I’m sitting in our hotel in Zermatt, Switzerland and my facetime is ringing. My sister says, “Guess what?” and I immediately knew…. baby #2!!! That sweet baby just turned three. Lily is the sweetest little thing. Her favorite things are tomatoes, her big sissy, salsa, the big swing, and donuts!! Lily’s birthday party was all about donuts and lemonade. My sister did a wonderful job organizing and crafting for Lily’s party. I just had to blog this so I could pin the party ideas!

Kristin and Kevin – Sirata Beach Resort, St. Pete Wedding

March 3, 2016 Tampa, Wedding

This love story starts in the summer of 2012 with two coworkers and a set of Tampa Bay Rays baseball tickets. Kristin had some tickets to sell because she was going out of town for work and Kevin thought “hmm, who’s that girl?” and talked to Kristin about the tickets. Slyly he asked her, “so are these your boyfriend’s tickets?”. Good thing that Kristin was single because a few years later, they became husband and wife! Kristin and Kevin got married in a beautiful sunset ceremony at the Sirata Resort in St. Pete Beach on February 27th. The sun was shining, the chilly wind was blowing, and everyone was smiling. It was a beautiful day. Enjoy the mint and coral details in this stunning beach wedding.

Hi friend! I’m so glad you’re here!

My goal as a photographer is to provide authentic and joyful photos of you and your most loved ones. I love my morning latte, reading books with my three little besties, getting outside in the sunshine, and exploring new places with my high school sweetheart.
