Adam and Miranda Podlesh | Stephie Joy Photography

To start, this wedding is very special to me. Miranda is one of my best friends from high school. I love her! We always had the best times and what I love most of all, is making her laugh. I’m such a goofball and always cracked us up. We had the silliest inside jokes (of which I will not bore you). Miranda is one of those friends who is so re-freshing to be around, with her positive outlook on most situations. I love being around her and I’m glad we kept in touch up to today. I was so excited when she asked me to shoot her wedding. I loved being a part of her special day she married Adam. I’m so glad to see her happy, even if Adam’s job did take her all the way to Chicago!

I can’t wait for the next steps in her and Adam’s life and wish the best for their new family.

Katie and Bj were married last November at First Baptist Jacksonville downtown with their reception at the Bank of America Skyline Restaurant. With Katie being one o my all-time favorite brides, her wedding was a great close to my 2011 wedding season. Thank you Kelley’s Bloom Room for the beautiful flowers!

Leo + Eunice | Stephie Joy Photography Engagements

Leo and Eunice met me in Atlantic Beach Last week. The day before was a gorgeous 75 degree florida winter day. However, you must know the weather in Florida is never consistent. On the day of Leo and Eunice’s beach shoot…it happend to drop into the low 40s!! Super cold for me, from the South and for them, being from Puerto Rico! Needless to say, we all froze! Thankfully, the sky was amazingly clear and it wasn’t too windy.

Leo and Eunice needed little direction from me…they were so natural in front of the camera. I think I may have only told them…”pretend to like each other”. haha….jk. Here is there Atlantic Beach engagement shoot. And I hope their March wedding this year is an awesome one!!!

Leo also surprised Eunice with a beautiful necklace…..And her reaction is priceless!
