Happy Halloween!

This year I found what can only be described as 'a ridiculous costume' for Axl to wear. Luckily, we will be in Naples this weekend so I don't think he'll see anyone he knows. Good thing he's a great sport! Happy Halloween everyone!!

Kandace and Mario, Married!

Kandace and Mario married last weekend with 25 of their closet friends and family. The weather was perfect and as always The Moorings Village and Pierre's did not disappoint. Pastor Tony Hammons delivered a beautiful ceremony while the sun drifted below the horizon and two violinists played. They had a gorgeous day, Congrats!

Our enagement session and save the date

Over the summer I have been trying to get as much of my own wedding planned before wedding season kicks back in. My dear friend Georgia, who is a fashion photographer in New York City, graciously shot our engagement session for us. She did a beautiful job and helped me adjust to being on the other side of the lens (weird!). With the images I created a save the date that was sent out a few weeks ago. I packaged the folded card in glassine envelope with a wax stamp. They were truly simple and all about the images, of course!

Here are a few of our favorite images Georgia shot:

Back from the Keys

Last night we pulled back into Miami after spending the weekend in the Keys and riding Harleys down to Key West. We stopped in Islamorada (of course) and also at a few other resorts that we have weddings at this season. The riding was great, something that we had always wanted to do and I am happy to scratch it off the bucket list (that is still about 50 pages long!). We thought planning the trip for the middle of October would ensure a cool trip with clear skies. While we only got rained on once, it was welcomed as we had near record heat the entire weekend with a heat index of 106 degrees! Very hot atop a motorcycle in boots and jeans... despite the heat, we had a great trip. I absolutely love the keys and think that it is a great destination. I will never get tired of spending time and shooting weddings there. Since I had very limited space to pack (one saddle bag) I opted to take the weekend off from shooting. However, it never seems right to blog without some eye candy, so here is a few images from my keys weddings in the past... Happy Monday!

Boys will be boys...

Here is a glimpse from a family session last week in California. My favorite shots are them just doing what boys do best, being boys...

Ashlee and Kenny, Married!

This last week Chad and I headed out to Nevada to shoot my dear friend Ashlee and Kenny's wedding. I have known Ashlee for ages and couldn't be happier to be apart of her day. They had a gorgeous, sunny afternoon and wed in the pasture at Ashlee's parents property in Gardnerville, Nevada. After the they exchanged vows their guests danced to country music, sat around fire pits, and drank beer. It was a warm, heartfelt country affair with kids, dogs, horses and plenty of tears. Ashlee made a stunning bride (which none of us ever doubted) and complimented her gorgeous ivory gown with her favorite cowboy boots. She also made her own centerpieces (for 312 guests, wow!) and they made a donation in their guests honor to their favorite charity Catch-A-Dream. You are a beautiful couple, congratulations!!
