Allison and Scott…Married! Orlando, Florida

Last wedding of the year and it went out with a bang! O M G! Insanely fun wedding with too much details to fit in a blog post. Fantastic vendors, venue and awesome guest ready to partay! You could’t ask for a better day too! Weather was perfect and Allison planned the day out so well that we had no scheduling issues. What? Weird…huh!? Flawless day really. Scott and Allison are perfect together. Scott was so nervous while I was setting up the “first look” and Allison was pretty calm, but I could tell she was nervous too. Scott was on the verge of tears when he saw Allison and I was too! Such a beautiful moment and even though this couple is super silly and extremely funny, they mean business when it comes to love. Enough of my babbling! On with the show!!!

These two crazy kids are awesome! You have probably already seen these two a few blog posts back, when I photographed their engagements. When I booked Elizabeth and Eric, I knew it was going to be an adventure. Their wedding day was high energy and busting at the seams with love and laughter. Thank you Elizabeth and Eric for allowing me to photograph such a special day! A big thank you goes to my favorite second shooter who does super amazing work, Tiffany of Tiffany Sims Photography. Enjoy!

Rachel and Bill… Married!

I was left speechless when their big day was over. I laughed and I cried during their ceremony. My mind was literally blown. Even right now I struggle to think of how I will talk about how wonderful these two people are and not write a dang book. They are simply that…wonderful. I have never photographed a sunrise wedding and was hesitant to even want to wake up that early. It was worth it. This wedding went off with out a hitch(no pun intended) Rachel was giddy like a little girl on christmas and Bill was anxious to make Rachel his forever. Simply amazing these two! They have such a wonderful community of people that came together to help them celebrate and make this day possible. I did my best to give a few highlights below, but you will just have to watch the dang slideshow because the whole day was a highlight. I have NEVER had so much trouble narrowing down images. Never.lol

If you can’t enough of the decor from this wedding at the you must check out the folk artist Alan Moore and you will find most of his artwork display at the Blue Giraffe in Watercolor off of 30A. It is amazing and partly why I am left speechless. I could not even imagine how he can take scrap metal and form such beautiful works of art. What we consider trash and unusable, Alan envisions how he will use it in his next piece. Gotta love that people. Go check him out. Support your local peeps because that’s the right way to roll.

It’s funny how God lines up everything for you and you don’t even realize it, till it has already happened. He surely lined this all up for me. I was able to photograph this wedding with my beautiful and talented friend Lily. I couldn’t have done it without her. The best part of all of this, is that I walked away with two new friends that I admire very much. Their love is true and beautiful. You could not put two better people together. Thanks Bill and Rachel for allowing us to photograph such a wonderful day. On another side note…if you love the slideshow music…go check out Crystal Yates!

Amy and Kyle Defuniak Springs, Florida

Oh my goodness! I have waited all year for this wedding. My friend Amy from Baby and Me Boutique shouts my praises to everyone that enters into her store.When Amy filled me in on the details of her wedding, all she had to do was mention peacock feathers and I was game! You can look a couple blog posts back and see their engagement and Amy’s bridal session. Amy was hitting up Etsy like everyday for fabulous stuff. Big thanks to my favorite second shooter Tiffany Sims. Enjoy!

I had to share this bouquet toss!

Fort Walton Beach Wedding Photographer Jennifer and Frank…

I received an email from this beautiful bride just a few months ago and she was busy planning a wedding for next year. Jennifer was filling me in on all the details and we were just about to book her date when a few weeks later I received an email that made my heart sink. Jennifer informed me that her Mother had been diagnosed with cancer and it didn’t look good. She made the decision to go ahead and have a ceremony, so that her Mother could witness such a special day. All little girls dream of a beautiful wedding and their Mother being there to help them get ready and sit on the front row during their ceremony.

This was a difficult day for everyone, but you could still feel the love and regular banter that usually occurs with tight knit families.lol They joked and laughed at one another. They cried and embraced it each other. They are the very definition of a loving family. I cannot tell you how blessed and honored I felt to be apart of such a special day.

Everything was thrown together within weeks and with no back up plan for rain…we all hovered under the porch. This did not shake Jennifer. She remained smiling and positive the entire time. I believe God gave her extra strength that day and a peace to get through it all. What a strong woman you are Jennifer and I know your Mother could not express how much she enjoyed seeing you get married, but I know that she did. Jennifer and Frank…I will see you again and looking forward to it very much! You both are outstanding people and make a beautiful couple. Congrats!
