Wedding Anniversary: Paige and Tim – St. Augustine

January 11, 2013 Wedding

The Contemporary Resort at Disney holds some very special memories for David and I. We went there on a quadruple date back in high school to watch the fireworks, we had our first kiss on the balcony of the hotel overlooking the Disney castle, and we said our first “I love you”s right before getting engaged at this unique hotel. Neither of us are huge Disney fans but this specific location holds a special place in our heart. For my dear friends, Paige and Tim, their special place is St. Augustine, Florida.

If you’ve ever been to St. Augustine, you know it’s a unique and special little city. It has lots of history but still feels intimate. Paige and Tim have many special memories in this nearby city, but most importantly, this is the place where Tim slipped a shiny ring on Paige’s finger and they excitedly agreed to become husband and wife. Paige and Tim got married on 11-11-11 and had an awesome wedding. Almost one year later, Paige called me and asked if I’d be interested in taking anniversary pictures at their special, favorite place. I loved the idea and on 11-11-12, David and I spent the day capturing the love between this special couple. Paige rocked her wedding dress again and Tim was beaming with joy, just as he was on their wedding day. We ended the session with some casual shots at Flagler College. I loved this session and I love this couple even more!!

A Look Back at Our 2012

December 31, 2012 Michelle and David, Personal

Can you believe that today is the last day of 2012? This year went by so quickly! As I laid in bed this morning, I reflected on the many goals that I accomplished and wonderful experiences that I had during this year. I’ve put together a list of some of my favorite memories of 2012. This is a personal post, so here’s a chance for you to get to know me a little better!

1. My 2012 New Year’s Resolution was to train and complete a 5K race. My husband and I were both determined to complete this goal together. We ran, encouraged, and pushed each other along the way. I never considered myself a runner, so the thought of continuously running 3.1 miles was daunting. The picture on the left was before our first run in January and the picture on the right was the final stretch of the 5K race that we completed in March. I watched my body get stronger and healthier over those 3 months. It was the best feeling to complete this goal!

Eaton Family – Gainesville Family Photography

December 28, 2012 Family

Meet the Eaton family: Fletcher, Susan, Mary Grace, Brock, and Bethany! I have the privilege of spending lots of time with the beautiful Mom of this family because we are both Kindergarten teachers together! This family is so fun, so loving, and kind to each other. It was such a joy to capture these images in Mcintosh, Florida….despite the crazy mosquitoes! I think I counted at least 30 bites on my arms and legs after this session, but it was worth it!

Almost Married: Rachel and Nick Wedding Rehearsal – Cocoa Beach Photography

December 17, 2012 Wedding

Back in August, I had the privilege of documenting Rachel and Nick’s wedding rehearsal in Cocoa Beach. All of their family and closest friends gathered the evening before their wedding to rehearse, eat, and spend quality time together. Rachel asked me to come early to take photos of her family since they were all finally gathered in one place. Everyone was so sweet and loving! It was such a joyful night celebrating Rachel and Nick… now, they are Mr. and Mrs. Mangan! Enjoy these photos!

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.
