I had a blast second shooting Gail and Andy's wedding for my for my good friend Suzie Seagraves. Their ceremony and reception was at the Tap Room at Dubsdread and the night couldn't have been more perfect!





Party time!






Mmm...cupcake cake!






Congrats you two!

Tina and Steve's Disney Wedding

Why did the wedding photographer have the bride and groom get in the photo booth?
A) She was too lazy to take pictures
B) It made for fun photo opportunities
C) It's something she would loved to have done on her wedding day

B, of course! And a little bit of C. A was just a fake answer to throw ya off! :)



Tina and Steve got married Seabreeze Point at the Boardwalk Resort, followed by dinner (and fireworks!) at the Contemporary Resort's California Grill.

Here comes the bride!


Steve was so sweet waiting for Tina to walk down the aisle!






Tina and Steve left plenty of time for portraits between their ceremony and reception so we headed over to Port Orleans French Quarter (where they're staying) to do some fun shots!

Jessica of Designing Dreams: Weddings and Special Events


I recently did some new head shots for wedding planner Jessica Giordano of Designing Dreams: Weddings and Special Events. Jessica's an absolute sweetheart - we met about a year ago and bonded over shoes! How can you not love a girl like that!?

Super quick sneak peek of Tina & Steve's Disney Wedding

More to come, but I just couldn't resist a quick peek. Hope you guys are enjoying your Disney-moon! :)

OpLove - the D family

I had entirely too much fun photographing the D family recently! Dad Jeremy is in the army and will be deploying next month, so when mom Rachel called me to schedule an OpLove session I was only too happy to oblige! If you're not familiar with OpLove, it's a great non-profit organization that provides free photo sessions to military families who have a member deploying.

Sweet light and so cute - one of my favorites!


Little Ms. M


Mr. M was a bundle of energy!




We did the session at the beautiful Blue Spring State Park. I'd never been there before and can't wait to go back in the winter and see the manatees!

Thanks so much for a fun session you guys and Jeremy, thanks so much for all that you do for our country!

Shannan and Matt are in lurve!

A happy couple who are very much in love (that's Shannan and Matt) + a beautiful setting (the Grand Floridian Resort) + (mostly) fantastic weather = a very happy photographer!

I had a blast shooting Shannan & Matt's engagement session this past weekend. We started at the Grand and wandered over to the Poly while shooting and swapping Disney stories. Here's a quick sneak peek from their session!

Matt posed an interesting question - can we somehow incorporate the cool skylights at the Grand? It took a little quick thinking on my part, but ask and ye shall receive!


Super cute!


It doesn't get much more Florida than this! Love this one!


And of course, a little Disney magic!

Thanks you two for a fun shoot!

PS - the Wave was delish! Enjoy it on Wednesday :)

Wiggle Waggle Walk Photos

Oh my goodness, how much fun was this year's Wiggle Waggle Walk? All the dogs (and one cat!) are so cute it's hard not to put the camera down and just love on them all! There were over 40 fantastic vendors there with everything from organic pet food to dog fashions to a caricature artist! I'm not sure how the judges picked the winners of the costume contest - I never would have been able to choose just one for each category!

Here's a small sampling of images from the day, to see more visit the gallery.

Jenny, the token cat of the day!


Didn't this guy realize he was in Gator country?


This little cutie was "security" at the judge's table!


Even the humans got into the act!


I think that using Jedi mind tricks on the judges gives an unfair advantage in the costume contest! Haha!


The lovely Sassy of Sassy's Pet Paradise.













Busted playing paw-parazzi!


And the actual walk which was kicked off by WFTV Channel 9 / TV 27 meteorologist Tom Terry




Too cute for words!


Yup, his name was Oscar! I love it!






I'm not sure how much money was raised in total - I know one group raised nearly $47,000! - but kudos to all who came out and raised money for such a worthwhile cause!
