Ryan and Jessica

Last fall I had the honor of photographing Ryan and Jessica's wedding. Due to several circumstances, we were unable to shoot their engagement session before their wedding.. so we decided to do it afterwards. This turned out to be a really good idea, as it was actually raining on their wedding day during what would have been our time for portraits of the two of them. So, for this session they put their wedding clothes back on. It was so much fun to have an entire hour, instead of the roughly 10 minutes I usually get on the day of a wedding!

I think this is my favorite!

Congratulations again you two! I hope you love the pictures :)

Brandon and Megan are Engaged!

It feels a little funny to say that Brandon and Megan are a fun and sweet couple.. they certainly are, but is it ok to use those words to describe a couple who enjoys football and motorcycles??

We met up a few weeks ago for part one of their engagement session. For this part we decided to shoot at the beach... part two will include their bikes :)

They brought Jax along for a few pictures.

I love how happy they look in these next 2 pictures.

They are both big Purdue and Seminole fans, so I had them bring along a blanket to incorporate that. (This makes me extra excited for their wedding - I already know they have great taste!) :)

I couldn't decide which of these next two I liked best, so I posted them both.

Stay tuned for part 2, and of course for their 11.11.11 wedding!

Congratulations Bryan and Sarah!

Bryan and Sarah's wedding was a picture-perfect destination wedding. The couple lives in Connecticut, so everything was done long-distance. (Fortunately they had the help of the fabulous Laurie Hartwell!) So it was a smaller wedding, but that meant that everything was so relaxed. And instead of the typical evening dance reception, they opted for a morning brunch with plenty of time to visit with the friends and family who came to celebrate.

As a side note, it really is a small world. Partway through the morning I was talking to Bryan's mom, and it turns out that Bryan and I had gone to high school together in Jacksonville (he graduated a year after me).

Planner: Laurie Hartwell - A Wedding To Remember
Flowers: Amanda's Florist
Cake: Creative Cakes and Candies
Music: DJ Shane
Venue: Crowne Plaza

They did something I had never seen before, but loved - a "ring warming" ceremony. The couple's wedding rings were passed from guest to guest so that each could wish a special blessing over them.

These next few are my favorites!

Ok, maybe this one is my favorite :)

Congratulations you two! Thank you for the honor of being a part of your day!
