I recently got to do a lovely family session in beautiful Baldwin Park. Two love birds, two dogs, a baby on the way, a sister and her amazing children. We had a great time and despite the rain and humidity we were still able to snag some great shots.
I dont think I have had a bride and groom as laid back and easy as Shelly and David. Nothing phased them and they just seemed so content and happy. I am so glad I had the opportunity to share their special day.
Want to give a special shout out to Ginger for another successful team up. Thanks for all your help girlfriend.
What an adorable couple. Chanda and Sean are so in love and you can see it when they look at each other. I had such a blast shooting their engagement photos and cant wait for their April wedding. Here are a few of my favorites from our afternoon together. Stay tuned for wedding photos and maybe even some maternity photos too. Congrats to both of you on love, happiness, and your growing family.
When Jon and Bree asked if they could fly me to Virginia to photograph their special day, I just couldnt say no. Its been a long time coming for this happy couple and I was honored that they wanted me to be a part of it. Jon and I have been friends for a good twelve years and I hadnt seen him in at least ten. I also had never been to Virginia. They were married at a beautiful Manor, on a perfect fall day and the weather and atmosphere couldnt have been better for the bride and groom.
Jon and Bree...thank you so much for letting me share in your special day. I wish you both all the love and happiness in the world. I love you guys and I am so happy for you.
This past Saturday was the 20th Anniversary Celebration for Arnold Palmer Hospital and I was fortunate enough to not only be there, but to be part of it as the official photographer of the day for WEG and the Chris Kirkpatrick Foundation. The entire day was for a good cause and to celebrate one of the most important facilities here in Orlando and filled with amazing people, great entertainment, good food, and tons of smiles. Despite the heat, Nigels11 and Mark & James rocked the house and put on an amazing show for the crowd and joined by One Call made the day of several fans by doing a meet and greet at the Chris Kirkpatrick Foundations booth.
I am so glad I was able to be a part of it all. Here are some of my favorites from Nigels11.
A very good friend of mine finally found her one true love and I had the pleasure of both attending the wedding and shooting it. Stephanie and I have been friends since 7th grade and we have shared a lot of good times and fun memories in all these years. But....in all the years I have known her, I have never seen her smile and glow the way she did on April 26th. You can see the love between Steph and Jeff in the way they look at each other and the way they make each other laugh. Definitely a match made in Heaven.
Jeff...you take good care of her.
Thank you guys for letting me be such a huge part of the day and for being so adventurous...it definitely paid off. I love you guys!!!
Another wedding, another beautiful bride, and what a gorgeous day for it....I had the pleasure of photographing all of Jennifer and Martins special moments as they said, "I do," beach front at the beautiful Crown Plaza hotel in Melbourne beach. Everything was picture perfect, from the colors, to the bride and groom....and it just so happened that the shuttle was launching that night. That was better than fireworks. I had such a great time and it was an awesome crowd. Want to say "thanks" to Ginger for tagging along and helping out. Couldnt have done it without you girl....
Jennifer and Martin - I wish you a lifetime of happiness.........
I had the pleasure of spending almost an entire day with Jessica and Landon. With the helpful assistance of a fellow photographer and good friend Ginger we had a blast and kicked out some amazing shots of the newlyweds. They were married December 20th at the beautiful LDS Temple here in Orlando. The grounds were picture perfect and we spent almost 2 hours photographing the happy couple. Then we headed over to the Portofino Hotel for some more relaxed, fun shots. The reception was the later that evening in Winter Haven and was the perfect end to a perfect day.
Thanks Ginger for all your help and thank you Jessica and Landon for being open to all our ideas. It really was a blast.
I have another senior on board as a class of 2009 senior rep and this one comes from miles and miles away. Let me introduce Ally. She recently moved from Illinois to Florida with her family and she just so happens to be one of my mother-in-laws piano students. What a small world, now she is just around the corner here in Florida. I was thrilled when she agreed to be another one of my amazing senior reps. What a great personality and such a love for nature and music. Ally truly shines and I am glad to have her on board.
You gotta love beach weddings.....the sound of the ocean and the breeze make for a beautiful setting. I recently had the pleasure of shooting one up near New Symrna Beach. It was a very stormy drive up and didnt look like the weather was going to allow for a beach side wedding, but the skies cleared just long enough for Nick and Liz to say "I do." It was a beautiful ceremony and I was honored to be a part of it.
Congratulations Nick and Liz.....and also a very special congratulations on the birth of that adorable baby boy. May you have a life time full of happiness.
