Barbara and Cody – Ocala Wedding

admin — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 01:17:16 +0000

Everything from Barbara and Cody’s wedding had this classic, vintage and western feel. They both looked amazing and elegantly fit the part, looking like they could have come straight out of a Western film in the 40’s. Their wedding effortlessly showed who they both are as a couple. What I was most excited about was their adorable and well behaved Golden Retriever named Luke. He became one of the most popular guests at this wedding. It was a great day filled with a lot of laughter and everything went perfectly.

Barbabra and Cody– Thank you for having us be a part of this very special day. We had a great time watching everything come together so perfectly. We wish you the best of luck, filled with lot’s of love, children and more beautiful dog’s as good as Luke. He was so cool. Thank you to all the special vendors that made this day happen so perfectly.

Crystal and Jay

I think what I like best about doing an engagement session is it truly gives me the opportunity to get to know my clients and just have fun with them. I really enjoyed the day I had with Crystal and Jay. They were so sweet and down to earth. We took a few images outside one of the Catholic Schools in St. Augustine. You would have thought Crystal and Jay were celebrities. The Nuns kept coming out to see what exactly we were up to. It was adorably annoying! Crystal and Jay handled the bright sun of Florida, the silly little Nun’s and my awful jokes with great laughter and smiles. Good times!

Amanda and Tim’s – Orlando Wedding

admin — Sun, 25 Mar 2012 04:25:24 +0000

Amanda and Tim got married at a church near downtown Orlando that has a special place in Amanda’s heart. She has been attending the church since she was young, and on this day she celebrated the beginning of her new life with Tim in this familiar building.

Although Tim didn’t have the history with this church that Amanda did, he seemed right at home there, and when he sang with his quartet during the ceremony, it seemed like he had performed in that building a million times. The quartet sounded great, and it added a particularly memorable detail for the many guests who attended the ceremony.

Amanda and Tim’s wedding reception was such a great party that I still felt like dancing hours after it ended. There were some truly great dancers there, and the room was decorated with vibrant tones and table markers that incorporated the history of Amanda and Tim’s relationship.

Amanda and Tim- thank you for allowing us to be part of this memorable time in your life. We had a great time, and we hope you enjoy the images for years to come. Joe and I wish you both the best of luck.

Exciting, energetic music was provided by DJ Asher Grier

Beautiful bouquets came from Rennie Schultz

The venue for this memorable reception was at Mystic Dunes

Church -Trinity Lutheran Church – Downtown Orlando

Jenna and Cole’s Engagement Shoot/ New Smyrna

admin — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 02:18:15 +0000

There are some people in your life that are unforgettable and you remember the exact moment you met them. A part of you knows that this person is going to be someone special in your life. Well, Jenna Jone’s is one of those quality people I am talking about. I remember the exact moment I met her. She was beautiful, professional, put together, fun, caring, and one of the sweetest girls I have ever met. For many years Jenna was an event planner and she was one of my biggest fans from the start. I will always appreciate her support and encouragement during the early building years of my business. Words cannot express how grateful I will always be for her. You can imagine how excited and honored I was when Jenna contacted me about shooting her wedding. She had encountered so many talented photographers through her event planning business. I was humbly delighted that she thought of me. Joe and I are looking forward to shooting her destination wedding in South Carolina.

Now, as I mentioned before, there are some people that come into your life and you don’t ever forget the moment you met them. Well, there are also those funny moments you remember when you see a friend share one of those moments first hand. I am lucky to say that I was there the night Jenna met Cole. I was shooting one of Jenna’s closest friends Lyndsay and Tim’s wedding. Jenna was a guest and was dancing with this handsome guy the whole time and I remember thinking they have such an adorable chemistry. Well, you know what they say, “the rest is history”. So, now Jenna, the girl I always thought had it all, now truly does. Cole seems like a perfect catch. I wish you both the best of luck.

Enjoy!

Danielle and Chris’ E-Shoot

admin — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 04:32:22 +0000

Every time I looked through my lens at Danielle and Chris’ engagement shoot, I wanted to jump up and down with excitement. What more could a photographer ask for than shooting at the beach on a gorgeous day, with a beautiful looking couple, and an amazing horse named Prince? Danielle told me that she named him when she was a little girl. I thought it was so neat that she interacted so naturally with Prince. I loved that she wanted to incorporate him into their shoot. It was really exciting, this is one that I will never forget. The whole thing came together very well, and I’m happy with how it turned out.

Enjoy!

It is always fun to watch a couple that is as relaxed and care free as Kate and Sam. The sun was out in St. Augustine and it was such a beautiful day. The Christmas lights are all over St. Augustine this time of year, and that let us get some fun night shots after the sun went down. I can’t wait for their wedding in August.

Joel and Leanza’s Wedding – Daytona Beach

The spirit of the season added a magical element to Leanza and Joel’s wedding. Everything about it was romantic, rich, warm, and classical, and the room was bathed in red tones. I enjoyed all of their personal touches, such as Christmas ornaments in the centerpieces and an elaborate Christmas trees at the church and the entrance of the ball room. The ceremony was at Calvary Christian Center in Ormond Beach, Fl, and they celebrated at the Hilton in Daytona Beach, Fl. Rachael Kasie did an amazing job and made everything look wonderful. Every detail was perfect. The cake from the Pastry Studio once again provided a beautiful cake that sat on a pedestal in the front of the room, drawing the attention of all the guests. It was a little winter wonderland wedding in Florida.

Leah and Charlie Wedding

admin — Wed, 21 Dec 2011 03:42:03 +0000

What I will remember most about Leah and Charlie’s wedding is that they dared to be a little different. They had a contemporary, modern-themed wedding mixed with vintage accents. Leah’s sense of style was all over the room. The decor matched their personalities: fun, bright, and classic.

Sunset Harbor in Daytona Beach made the perfect location for this beautiful wedding. The staff once again went the extra mile to make sure everything was exactly how it should be. The Pastry Studio did a wonderful job on their cake. The DJ Man got the party started with a bang and everyone danced until their feet couldn’t take anymore. Great times, great people, great party.

Leah and Charlie, we wish you the best and hope your marriage is filled with lots of blessings. Thank you for having us be a part of this great event.

Enjoy!

Nicole and Jan-Phillip – Orlando Wedding

admin — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 23:25:07 +0000

When Nicole and Jan-Phillip said that there wedding would be at the Orlando Science Center, I thought to myself how refreshing! Nicole was excited that the dinosaur and guitar room exhibit would be open for us to take pictures in. They really wanted to capture what made them unique as a couple. Nicole wanted to get ready at her Grandfather’s home, a very sentimental place for her. The angel statue there was her grandmother’s and it meant a lot to her. There were so many special details that reflected their personalities. As you can imagine Nicole and Jan-Phillip were a fun couple to photograph. They were very sweet, and you could tell they have a very special love for each other.

Best of Luck Nicole and Jan-Phillip! We want to thank you for having us be part of this special time in your life. We hope you have many more exciting date nights at the science center, and a great future together!

Enjoy!

Colie and Seth’s Wedding

When I drove away from Colie and Seth’s wedding, I was almost saddened that night was over. It truly was a wonderful celebration and everyone had an amazing time, including me. Colie and Seth were laughing the whole day and enjoying everyone’s company. Everyone was so chill and relaxed and just down for a good time.

Although the wedding was located here in Orlando, it had an island feel to it. The venue was Paradise Cove, it made the perfect location for this outdoor wedding.

Colie and Seth,

Thank you for having us be a part of such a wonderful time in your life. You both rock! We hope that you enjoy your new life together, and that it is filled with lots of love, good times, and family and friends.

A special thanks to my brother Jason Flynn for assisting and second shooting.
