More from the beautiful day at Jax. Beach where Jazmin and Robert tied the knot. The sky was a brilliant blue, and totally clear! Jazmin and Robert have a little girl, Lily. She was a part of the ceremony, too. After her mommy walked down the isle, Lily runs over to her daddy and gives him a big kiss! Oh, so sweet! That plus the gorgeous couple, made this wedding was a hit. Enjoy some from The Johnson’s big day!

And Many thanks to Elle Photography for having me second shoot with her on this wedding.

The new little family.

My favorite image of Jazmin…

Jazmin and Robert’s reception was at the Columbia Restaurant in Downtown St. Augustine. They happen to have a carousel at a park there. We just had to stop off and get some shots of the beautiful couple here!

This next image was thought of by our couple. I love couples that are creative and funny! His book is a “Marriage for Dummies”, and hers…well, “Wild Sex” is the title of it. We’ll just leave it to that.

Thank you so much for having me shoot your wedding! You two are beautiful!!

All I can say about this wedding is BEAUTIFUL!!! All the bright cherry colors made this wedding wonderful to look at. The little details are what drew me in. I love the limes, and splashes of hot pink. Here are a few images from this awesome wedding at the Palm Valley Gardens in Ponte Vedra Beach, Florida. And Many thanks to Alex Walker with Elle Photography, for having me second shoot with her.

Clark and Melanie were such a sweet couple. Radiating with lovey, doveyness (okay, so I made that word up). Enjoy their big day!

Let’s start with this amazing dress!!!!

Clark….the groom.

Favorite ring shot to date!

Melanie was up for some fun tub shots….in her dress. =)

I love how Clark is looking at Melanie here…he is so excited!!

Thank you for having me spend your day with you!

Jenna’s Baby Bump! : {Jacksonville Maternity Photographer}

Last week I had the pleasure of meeting Jenna and Phil. Jenna is having a baby and she wanted to get some pictures of her before the little miracle arrived! We met downtown for some pictures so they can remember where they met and lived for a time. We had a blast, Phil is so funny, and they made it very easy to get some great shots. Thanks guys for letting me make some memories for you, and I can’t wait to meet your little baby very soon!!

Here are some of my faves from the session. =)

I don’t think this baby can’t help but be cute! Look at their parents! And those eyes!!

Just some of many laughing moments from today.

PINK!?

I was a very overcast chilly day, here in Florida. But those overcast days make for awesome lighting and backdrops. =)

I just love this mural…it seems to be very popular downtown and makes for a neat picture! =)

Every mom should remember how her feet looked when nearing the end of the pregnancy…because they ARE hard to see! haha

Leslie + Cory Engaged! : {Jacksonville Wedding Photographer}

Ok. More from the super early and chilly engagement session I did with Leslie and Cory on Saturday. I was so glad this couple called me, their story is so sweet. Leslie and Cory are a young couple, in love. The kicker, Cory will be leaving in April for the military. So, needless to say, they are having a short engagement. But these two are so sweet, and I could really see the love! I do have a soft spot in my heart for military and their families, because I have some family in the military. I am so thankful for all that our soldiers do for our country, even though it is sad for those they have to leave behind.

I can’t wait for their wedding in March! We had fun shooting their engagement session, so I know the wedding will be great!

Got some of the overcast sunrise! =) Love it when the sun breaks the horizon. =)

I love the front garden at the Club Continental! The patina green is my fave!

Can you believe the eyes on these two?! Gorgeous!!

We moved over to a spot that is special to Leslie and Cory. A small stretch on River Road where Cory proposed to Leslie. It was nice to be able to capture those feelings on camera.

Thank you Leslie and Cory for having me be a part of the engagement step of your relationship. I can’t wait for the wedding! See you soon!

It was cold this afternoon when I met Jenna and Phil in downtown Jacksonville. We took the first of many sessions of Jenna’s growing family today. I had a great time, and was super happy I met these two…soon to be three! Here’s a sneak peek from their session. Can’t wait to meet their baby next month!!
