Christy and Edward were married at the beautiful Palm Valley Gardens October 28, 2011. I loved all Christy’s details and the cake was amazing by Metro Custom Cakes. She looked gorgeous! Not to mention her drool-worthy Louboutin shoes! Flawless make-up by Faythe Mesic!

Last weekend I was able to second shoot Jill and Brent’s wedding with my friend Szarmack photography. I showed up to the new wedding venue in Nocatee Florida, Crosswater Hall to see Jill’s style was rich with gold and deep purple. It was beautiful! Very pretty to photograph. Her awesome caterer’s, D’vine Cuisine had prepared yummy meal, and had an awesome COFFEE BAR, my FAVE!! Here are a few of my favorites!

Jill’s make-up by the lovely Tracey Upson…she does a beautiful bridal look that is flawless in the photos.

LOVED her shoes!!

Coffee bar….yeah, I’m in love with coffee.

So the next set of photos are of the beautiful couple and the killer sunset we had that night. It was awesome! We fought through the bugs and sweaty heat, but I knew the images were going to be awesome. We always love when couples are open to getting the creative shots. After all these are what you are going to have to remember your day!

Congrats Brent and Jill on your wedding.

So this is a special wedding to me. The bride happens to be my best friends sister. Basically like my little sister too. Our families are so close my mom was in Abbey’s parent’s wedding! So, enough of my history….here are a few of Abbey and her new hubby Shawn!!

Coolest bouquet ever! It’s called a Brooch Bouquet, and it has a bunch of keepsakes from Abbey and Shawn that are artistically made into an instant heirloom. It’s a bouquet the bride can actually keep forever!

Another awesome detail….this is the ring bearer’s book. A hollowed out book by William Shakespeare.

As I told you, this is like my second family. And this is Robert….the BEST second dad anyone could ask for!!

Congrats Abbey!! I Love you and I pray for your new life to be blessed!

Also, thank you again to Adam, my second shooter!

Here are a few images from a couple’s session I did over the weekend. Lindsey and Drew met at FSU where they became teachers, and have been married over a year. They met me in St. Augustine and we walked around in the brisk evening air. Some of my faves.

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

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!!

THanks Adam for having me come along to try out my new camera. Had fun, and it was nice meeting the couple of whose wedding I’ll be second shooing in May along with Adam, with Great Catch Photography. We started at the Florida Theater and walked around getting some nice shots along the way. It was briskly cold, downtown, very nice change from the sweltering heat of Florida. Here are some of my favorites.

The Bride-to-Be

Some behind the scenes…well me, and the new camera! haha

This mirror wall was too pretty!

Took some time to shoot some of our larger buildings. *see the tiny bird…?*

Love to play with shadows! Thanks, Adam for having me…=)
