Kimberly and Russell are Married!

I have been waiting for Kimberly and Russell's wedding for a very long time! I traveled up to Boston back in October to meet them and to shoot their engagement session. It was so wonderful to be able to spend some time getting to know them over an extended session and dinner.

The happy couple was married at the Espiritu de Santo Catholic Church and held their reception at the Safety Harbor Spa. I had such a great time with this couple and at the end of the night Russell insisted that we all take a picture together! So even though I had been sweating all day and my hair was pratically stuck to my face it was the first time one of my clients wanted to take my picture! =) I was flattered! Best wishes to the newlyweds!

Congratulations Toni and Bill!

Toni and Bill were married Monday at the beautiful Don Cesar Beach Resort. Jennifer from A Friend of the Bride did an amazing job creating a beautiful beach-inspired reception.

I cannot emphasize enough what a HUGE difference uplighting makes in your pictures at the reception. Event Design Rentals provided this beautiful pink uplighting and also draping for the cocktail reception.

Bill is a professional jet-skiier. He and his friends were tons of fun! Toni has a sweet southern accent and this couple was just so adorable!

Sara and Ryan are Getting Married!

I met Sara and Ryan at Honeymoon Island for a super fun session. They will be getting married in July at the Sheraton Riverwalk Hotel. I am so excited because Ryan is in the Navy and all the groomsmen will be in the white uniforms with swords! How cool is that!?!!?

Congratulations and Diane and Jonah!

Diane and Jonah are both in the military so coordinating the time for an engagement session proved to be tricky. It ends up we did our session just three days before the wedding! We arrived at Honeymoon Island and rain was looming...but it held off and the cloud coverage was amazing! I am excited for their wedding Friday!
