As a photographer, it makes my heart so happy to scroll through my photos after a session and feel my smile get bigger and bigger. Kerem and Luke’s engagement session did just that. Their love is contagious! They were laughing the whole time. Kerem is a nursing student at UCF and Luke is a professional soccer player (from Britain!) on the Orlando City Soccer Club. They first met after one of Luke’s soccer games because Kerem thought Luke was so cute and she just had to meet him! And now here they are, engaged to be married!! Such a sweet love story. Enjoy these photos taken at the beautiful Kraft Azaela Garden in Winter Park.
Stoker Family: Orlando
I have to admit that I married into such a loving, kind, and accepting family. My in-laws are the best! Tim and Jan are parents to Katie, David, Emily, and Hannah. Katie and her husband, Nic, got married in June 2009 and now live in Wisconsin. We miss them so much! Fortunately, they flew to Orlando in mid-January for a late Christmas celebration. While they were in town, we had the whole family together and took the opportunity to take some family pictures at Blanchard Park.
Megan and Doug – Orlando Engagement
Despite the gloomy weather, this engagement session was perfect. Megan and Doug are young, gorgeous, and so in love! They had so much fun together and were constantly laughing with each other. Megan is a elementary-school teacher and Doug is an engineer in Orlando. In August, you can find these two tying the knot with their closest friends…. in Vegas!! They are going to have FUN! Enjoy their engagement pictures taken in Avalon Park.

This beautiful lady is my older sister, Carissa. The adorable little one is my niece, Faith. Carissa is expecting baby #2 in early March.

A sweet new baby girl to join our family and a new baby sister for Faith. We are all so excited to meet her in just a few weeks!! I can’t wait to take some newborn pictures of her!

Kara and John- Jack Daniels Fort Myers Wedding
If you could rewind time back to 2003, you’d find two best friends taking on the journey of high school together, staying up late at sleepovers, and exchanging notes between class. Kara and I met and instantly became close friends over ten years ago. We have so many great memories together, it is so fun to think back on! Sweet Kara moved away from Orlando to Fort Myers after high school to attend FGCU. She loved it so much that she became a permanent resident after graduation. Fortunately, Kara met her soul mate in her new home. Kara and John met in one of their classes at FGCU and instantly clicked. Their love story continued and eventually led to a proposal, months of planning, and a gorgeous wedding on January 5th. I was able to attend this wedding as a guest but Kara asked if I could bring my camera along to snap a couple detail shots of their reception. I happily agreed and am excited to show you some of Kara and John’s wedding details! Their theme was Jack Daniels and the dress was casual… the groom + groomsmen wore jeans and boots! Love it!!
