Walk on the Ocean
May 15, 2013
Paul and Christina wanted to have their engagement session at the beach where their wedding will be held (next weekend!). Luckily, we planned to meet in the morning, so the normally busy Sandestin Beach was completely deserted and covered with a beautiful morning mist:)
Watching the Ships Roll In…
May 15, 2013
Larry and Sarah met me on St. Patricks Day (yes, that’s how behind I am on blogging…must catch up!!) for a fun engagement session in downtown Pensacola. We started at the park and made our way to the pier, where we had a lovely view of all of the sailboats and also the baseball stadium where Larry proposed during a game!

Brad and Raquel ~ Ponte Vedra Inn Wedding
May 8, 2013
I spent 3 days with Brad and Raquel to record every moment of their beautiful destination weekend culminating on Sunday for the big Wedding Day!!! Ponte Vedra Inn is truly a wonderful venue and despite an overcast day, the clouds parted just in time for the ceremony. Here are just a few favorites from the big day…:)
And a special thanks to the staff at Ponte Vedra and to Christie Meresse for second shooting!

I love the colors the couple chose! One of my personal favorite colors for just about everything. I really loved the first look photos, he just looks so overwhelmed with emotion, definitely a response every bride deserves! They are going to treasure these.
Music Sounds Better With You ~ Watercolor Engagement
April 19, 2013
One of the first thing that drew Deborah to Rusty when they met was his love of music and talent playing the guitar, so I thought it was really special that they decided to incorporate that into their engagement session. I had such a great time running around Watercolor Resort with these two and I am looking forward to their music-filled wedding in just one short month!

Gator Country!
April 1, 2013
So excited to share this super fun engagement session! Savannah and Brian met at the University of Florida when he played baseball and she was on the gymnastics team. They still call Gainesville home, so we decided to shoot their engagement session in the town that is so special to them:) We started at the baseball field, and ended at the beautiful lake on campus. Can’t wait for their wedding this fall!!!

Jared and Alison ~ Panama City Wedding
February 27, 2013
Jared and Alison said their vows and celebrated at the First Pentecostal Church in Panama City Florida just before the end of the year. It was lovely and touching, full of friends and family and well-wishers. Crafty Alison designed the bridesmaid dresses and added her personal vintage touch to everything, making the whole event a wonderful expression of her and Jared’s unique style. Best wishes to these two wonderful people as they begin their life together!

I love shooting in new places:) Brad and Raquel were only in the country for a few days so we had a small window of time for their engagement session and decided to have it in Savannah!

Can you guess which season these were taken in? I love December in Florida! Alechia and Jolan are having a destination wedding down here in April and we decided to fit in their engagement photos while they were on a planning visit to Sandestin:) We started at the beach and then zipped over to the resort. Because of the wonderful variety of scenery, we have spring flowers, summer beach pics, fall foliage, and a winter Christmas tree! It’s like a whole year of photos in one day:) Can’t wait for their wedding!
