A bride's worst nightmare is planning an outdoor wedding with no back up plan if it rains.  Florida, beach, late afternoon can be a very bad combination for a girl on her special day.  Let me tell you, its not a photographers favorite thing either...although it can turn out to be absolutely spectacular as did this beach wedding that I did last week!  Let's start with the "First Look"...yes, it was meant to be at the beach but because of the rain, we had to do it in the courtyard of the beach condos.  Not a popular choice for the photographer but...what else can you do but get creative (making lemonade with lemons right?). It was so romantic!  She came downstairs with all of her attendants and he was waiting anxiously...Out of all of the "First Look" captures, I don't think I have ever seen a groom so 'taken back'.  He was floored at her beauty and his emotion and love was very evident.This is going to be a beautiful marriage.  They are soooo in love!So now the next challenge...rain, rain, go away!  Half of the point of the first look is doing the portraits early and not having the pressure after the ceremony.  We had no where to go.  It was the courtyard in the condos.  We will do our best! So here is the lemonade.  Not bad for a rainy day with no pretty scenery.  Fortunately this adventure is about to ...

Its been a year since I flew to Cancun to photograph Larry and Amber's wedding.  It was a glorious event and while I was photographing them, I could hardly believe how fortunate I was to have such a beautiful bride and handsome groom, not to mention the setting of a tropical resort! So its been a year and Amber wanted to surprise Larry with a wedding album.  We have been working on this together for a week or so now and the project is in the printing stage.  The design is complete and I can't wait to see the album bound in tangible form.Larry and Amber....May all of your dreams come true!

What a great couple Rob and Rebekah are!  The 'First Look' was a particularly special moment. We had some fun with the wedding party!  The colors were awesome!  The ice cream bar was a big hit!And of course the dancing was filled with energy and excitement!

Time is precious and I beg you to capture your family when they are together.  Sometimes its so easy to let the time slip by and feel like there will be an opportunity to 'do it later'.  This is a family who siezed the opportunity and had me capture their time in Saint Augustine whilst on vacation.  I commend them and know they will have the memories forever and for generations to come. This session is a family lifestyle session.  We photographed five individual families and then the whole group.  It is important to capture family members interacting as well.
