Honestly, I don’t know where to start with this one! Should I start by sharing the details of the destination weekend and what a beautiful and fabulous time everyone had?

Small Florida Beach Wedding } Hugo and Patience!

I shot Patience and Hugo’s wedding right around the corner from my home in Satellite Beach at Pelican Beach Park.  The clubhouse there will always be Mark Realty to me; I love the A-frame and all the light that filters in through the windows on each end.  It’s a really great venue for a smaller event or wedding. I don’t …

Meghan and Blake are from New Jersey but decided to get married here in Florida.

Cocoa FL Wedding Photographer } Joe and Carly at Riverfront Park

Joe and Carly were married at Cocoa Village Riverfront Park. It was a beautiful day!  We shot their engagement session in the same place back in January, so it felt like a full circle moment capturing these images.

Tropical Backyard Wedding Merrit Island FL } Lou and April!

Just like Laura from yesterday’s post, I’ve known April a very long time.

Crowne Plaza Wedding Indialantic FL } Micah and Laura!

It was really fun to get the email from Laura that she was looking for a photographer for her wedding.

I happen to love cars.  I did …
