TraMi & Jon - Engaged!

Jon & TraMi
Engagement
Sanford, Florida
Lake Monroe

Weather?...check. Picturesque locale?...check, on the water nonetheless. Couple in love?...definitely.

As a photographer I couldn’t ask for anything more. So I was on the road again. Destination…Central Florida. Not the part with Disney, SeaWorld and Universal but an area just as beautiful without the tourists! About 45 minutes north from all the hustle and bustle of Orlando lies Sanford along the shore of Lake Monroe.

Meet Jon and TraMi. Due to wed in November in St. Augustine, I joined them prior to their Riverboat Cruise dinner upon the “Romance”. I always love to hear the “how we met” stories of my couples. Jon is a veterinarian and TraMi a paralegal. The common thread animals, but more specifically TraMi’s fur baby, her dog. He had an ear infection that required a vets attention. Jon was considered TraMi’s “next available” vet. You know the one you settle for so you don’t have to wait any longer than you have to, especially when your dog is sick. Certainly TraMi settled for the next available vet, but certainly did not have to “settle” when she found her future husband to be. From that one visit they were hooked. If only we could have those type of positive experiences at the vet!

I feel so lucky to have met new friends and can't wait until their November wedding!!! Don't forget to check out their slideshow here!

Sarah & Jerod's Wedding!

One of the many things I love about photography is the ability to take people to other places. To capture moments and bring people to that place or evoke those emotions is special. Likewise, photography has blessed me to meet so many people and visit so many places.

One of those places was Shiloh Farms in Tallahassee. It was the site of Sarah and Jerod’s wedding and reception. Shiloh is host to a charming little chapel and an attached barn. Don’t be misled when I say barn just check out some of the pictures. What a setting for a country wedding. It was a barn burner!

I had the pleasure of capturing the beautiful wedding moments for Sarah and Jerod. To say they were high school sweethearts, well let’s say that couldn’t be any further from the truth. We all remember how it was in high school…the good and the bad. Well, let’s just say that Sarah and Jerod ran in different circles.

Luckily for them those circles became intersecting lines in college. It started as acquaintances, then friends and blossomed from there. It didn’t take long once they really started spending time together to realize they were meant for each other.

They were a glowing couple and happy but relieved to finally start the rest of their lives together. A wedding is always a great occasion to bring family and friends together to celebrate and have a great time. As the night came to a close, Sarah and Jerod made their grand exit on their way to Jamaica! I hope they enjoyed their honeymoon as much as I enjoyed being able to share their wedding moments with others.

The weather couldn't have been more beautiful. The flowers were blooming and the light was yummy. It was truly a Spring wedding. Kelly and Kimberly were married on March 13th at Dorothy B. Oven Park.

Leah & Tyler's Wedding

Last month I had the best time at my first wedding of 2010. Leah and Tyler made their first appearance on my blog for their engagement session back in December. The wedding was beautiful and the sun came out at the perfect time right before the ceremony. The ceremony and reception were held at the Retreat at Bradley's Pond.

I had so many favorite's it was hard to narrow it down but here you are...enjoy!




I love this touching moment between mother and daughter. There were quite a few tears shed that day but they were all tears of joy. I could tell how much these families loved each other.

Meet Tyler.


JUST MARRIED!

This sweet moment was just after the ceremony before the portraits...










The reception was catered by Bacon & Bakin'. It was delicious and they were a complete pleasure to work with.



Leah's grandma was awesome - I think she danced more than most that night!

You know it's a fun wedding when the bride breaks out with the robot! Big props to The Wedding DJ!
