Your Professional Photography } 3 Reasons to walk away with more than a disk

Okay here we go, this is my passion so I hope to hear some “Amens” and hopefully not too many tomatoes flying at me… I offer information about this subject in print for my clients in the welcome packets but I’ve been meaning to get it out on the blog for all to see.  I’ll probably add a few more …

Breakers Wedding Photography Palm Beach Florida } Steve and Dina!

Well, I mentioned in a previous post recently that there were two couples married this Spring that had me shedding tears during our initial consult, mainly surrounding the question of how they first met. I don’t want to bore you by repeating myself so if you read the first paragraph of this post you’ll get the gist of it (or …

Modern Wedding Photographer } Blake and Meghan’s beach wedding at the Hilton!

Meghan and Blake are from New Jersey but decided to get married here in Florida. I believe Meghan’s brother is at FIT and her family just fell in love with the area (who wouldn’t right?)  Well they might not love August. I love Florida but I don’t really love August.  My husband is from New York and says August is …

Beach Engagement Photography } Ryan and Lauren!

Ryan and Lauren are tying the knot this November at the Brevard Zoo. The venue is fun and unique, just like Lauren and Ryan and I can’t wait to shoot their wedding! When I met Lauren in the studio for the first time I was so intrigued by hers and Ryan’s job.  They both specialize in digital mapping. This is …

Florida Wedding Photographer } Sara and Eric in Melbourne Beach

Sara and Eric came down from NYC to be married in Sara’s home town of Melbourne Beach.  There are two couples this Spring who had me all teary eyed during our initial consult and Sara and Eric are one of them. Both of the couples have amazing stories that include details too personal to share here on the blog but …

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. I love the whole process of engagement, especially the way it builds right up to that walk down the isle. Whether you …

Driftwood House Cocoa Beach FL Photographer } Lisa and Charlie!

I’m working late tonight and I don’t even mind because I get to work on these beautiful memories for my wonderful clients and I am checking lots of things off my list too! Here’s a snapshot of my day and btw, it was easier than Monday when I received -yes I counted- 36 PHONE CALLS… seriously everyone calls on Mondays! …

Tropical Backyard Wedding Merrit Island FL } Lou and April!

Just like Laura from yesterday’s post, I’ve known April a very long time. She was one of the girls in a Young Life Campaigners group that I helped lead here many years ago when she was just in middle school. I really loved that group and during my first year of college even drove back from Flagler every other weekend …

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. This was many months ago, but I still remember checking back to her email address and thinking… hey I know you!  As I wrote her back and asked, “Aren’t you Jeremy’s little sister?” I remembered the days I coached her …

St. John’s Episcopal Church and Tortoise Island Clubhouse } Mark and Erika’s Wedding!

I had the privilege of photographing the wedding of Mark and Erika back in February. Erika and I have been friends forever and Mark is a super nice guy.  Plus he graduated with us too which makes him even better.  Before I repeat a bunch of stuff here, you can read more about Mark and Erika under their engagement session. …

Beach Engagement Session Melbourne FL } Andrea and Ned!

I shot Andrea and Ned’s engagement session at the beach and was wishing  I could just press pause on this weather!?  And then today it got hot. The kind of hot that reminds me how soon the idea of opening the windows in the house will be an outrageous idea.  Soon my car will feel like a big ball of …

Wedding Portraits Ryckman Park Melbourne Beach } Dennis and Nicole

Nicole contacted me a few weeks ago because she had decided she wanted a do-over.  Back in September, she and Dennis had a beautiful wedding at the Vero Beach Hotel & Spa.  I was not their photographer and unfortunately they did not receive what they were hoping to get out of their wedding photography.  So, she had come to the …

Melbourne FL Wedding Photographer } Michelle and Charles Engagement

Michelle and Charles are a great couple. They’ve known each other since high school but never dated until recently. Each of their families thought they’d never settle down…  Three months into their relationship, they were engaged.  Charles works for Mercedes of Melbourne and Michelle is at Enterprise.  Such a cute little car romance. I happen to love cars.  I did …

Engagement Photography Melbourne FL -Ryan and Andrea

So we were getting ready for the engagement session and it looked like rain.  Dark clouds were rolling in as I drove hoping to outrun them.  I called Andrea and we discussed the possibilities.  We decided to go for it and ahhhh I’m so glad we did. Ryan and Andrea were amazing together as you can see. They were so …

Riverfront Park Cocoa Village Engagement Photography- Carly and Joe!

Carly and Joe are getting married at Riverfront Park in April and have some really cool wedding plans, including fire juggling!  Or fire dancing, something along those lines!  I met them at the same park for their engagement session.  Carly has such a great smile!  They brought their dogs around (along with a dog-sitter) and we got some really fun …

Alicia and Sam were married at Pelican Beach in Satellite Beach, FL.  They are high school sweethearts and have been together ever since. You can see their engagement session here which included their adorable little girl who of course you’ll see in all the wedding pictures as well.  I can’t get enough of her. The wedding was very pretty, the …

Hip Hip Hooray for the New Year! (plus workshop details too)

I sent out a newsletter today.  I just love those cute newsletters but I don’t usually get around to it more than once every few months.  I figure that’s all the spam you want from me anyway right?  No really, it’s totally not spam, I hope the content is something worth reading! If you didn’t get it and want to …

TRASH THE DRESS – Noel and Matthew

Whose to say your wedding dress needs to sit in your closet?  Whose to say you need to schedule sessions like Trash The Dress directly after your wedding?  I love that Noel and Matthew waited a year (and a half?) to book this shoot. Never mind that we rescheduled at least three times; we got it done and it couldn’t …
