Ashley and Josh- Palma Sola Bradenton Wedding

April 16, 2014 Tampa, Wedding

Ohhh my, I could go on and on about how perfect Ashley and Josh are together. I’ve known Ashley since mid-college when we met in an elementary education class at the wonderful UCF! When she asked me to photograph her wedding day, I was so so excited! Ashley and Josh are genuine people. Kind, relaxed, and humble. They didn’t even let a torrential downpour (that started 5 minutes before the start of their ceremony) hinder their spirits. The guests were so accommodating as we all squeezed into the reception area to watch Ashley and Josh become husband and wife. Everything was perfect… yes, very wet, but perfect. Enjoy these photos of Mr. and Mrs. Plata!

Venue: Palma Sola Botanical Park

Cake: Mattie’s Delectable Desserts

Kathryn and Chris- The Sanderling Club, Siesta Key Wedding

March 6, 2014 Tampa, Wedding

One of my job perks is meeting new wonderful couples and having the privilege of documenting their most special day. Kathryn and Chris found me on google and I’m SO glad that they did! They are the perfect couple… so sweet, in love, and attentive to their loved ones. They made sure that all of their guests had a great time at the wedding in Siesta Key. It was an unusually foggy day on the west coast of Florida but despite the lack of a sunset, we still got gorgeous shots in front of the gulf! Some of my favorite photos that I’ve ever taken come from this wedding. I’m so excited to share them with you! I hope you enjoy the story of Mr. and Mrs. Loboda…

Venue: The Sanderling Club – Siesta Key, Florida

Rachel and Taylor- Lake Mary Events Center Wedding

January 30, 2014 Orlando, Wedding

This wedding was held near and dear to my heart. Rachel and Taylor grew up together, high school sweethearts, who adventured through college together and united in marriage in their early 20s (sounds familiar!!). Their wedding day was a long time coming….and it was absolutely perfect. SO much love, excitement, support, and laughter on this beautiful December day at the Lake Mary Events Center. One of my favorite moments of their wedding day was a super sweet message that their officiant shared about Taylor’s bride that built so much anticipation. Everyone was so eager to see the stunning bride walk down the aisle to meet her soon-to-be husband. As I worked on these images, I froze on so many different shots because they took my breath away. Not because of the image that I captured, but because of the power of that moment on their beautiful wedding day. So many sweet moments.

Kerem and Luke Boden- Lake Mary Events Center Wedding

January 10, 2014 Orlando, Wedding

Kerem and Luke’s wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center was purely magical. Their union as husband and wife was sincere and beautiful but the most magical event was watching the union of their families. An intimate first-touch between the bride and groom, Kerem’s dad’s beautiful “giving away” speech during the ceremony, Luke and his grandma’s first dance, family flying in from England and Puerto Rico, a gorgeous sunset on the lake behind the ceremony… it was all perfection. Added bonus – Luke is a local celebrity in Orlando!! Go Orlando City Soccer! Enjoy these photos from Mr. and Mrs. Boden’s wedding!

*This stunning wedding was coordinated by Terri at Weddings, Inc. Great to work with you!!

Married: Trezure and Seth – Anniversary

November 3, 2013 Wedding

One year ago, on November 2, 2012, Trezure and Seth became husband and wife. Trezure and Seth held their wedding at the Hobson Auditorium at the First Baptist Church in Jacksonville and the party continued at Laytn’s Land-n in nearby Yulee, Florida. One year later, we are wishing them the happiest first anniversary!! I asked Trezure and Seth to choose their favorite wedding picture and express why it so meaningful to them.
