Tiffany & Michael - Anniversary Shoot

Last year I had the honor shooting this totally awesome wedding for Tiffany & Michael. It had to be one of the most special, beautiful, creative wedding I've been to. It was a New Year's wedding held at Phillipe Park under this amaaazing tree. I was SO happy to hear from Tiffany a year later, wanting to do an anniversary shoot at their wedding location!! Knowing her creative eye, I knew it was going to be just perfect.

Under the tree where they got married.

This is a mashup of both of their vows, which hangs proudly in their home.

And what would an anniversary be without sharing some cake. Cute cake topper included!!

I couldn't wait to put these side by side. Wedding day & present day.

Congratulations on your anniversary!!! Yall are the cuuuutest! I had a blast working with yall again!

Raquel & Daniel

My very first wedding I ever worked was third shooting for Timothy Capp Photography. I was so nervous, really having no idea what I was doing. At that wedding, I met a girl, Raquel from Raquel Sergio Photography. She was Tim's second shooter. We very, very quickly formed a bond over our favorite wedding photographer, Jasmine Star. After that wedding, Raquel and I kept in touch and formed an even tighter friendship. Now, I can't imagine my life without her & my day is incomplete when I don't get to talk to my bff, Raquel.
Over the past two & a half years, I can't tell you how much I've learned from this girl. She's given me confidence to keep learning and practice what I learn. She's been all ears when I need to let off steam. She's been my company when I needed someone by my side. She is such a strong christian woman. God is her #1, and it shows in every aspect of her life. I completely admire her for the person she is.
She asked me recently if I could take pictures of her & her husband for both their personal use and business use. I couldn't be more happy & honored. Raquel's husband, Daniel just accepted a new position as the lead worship leader at Cornerstone Community Church in St. Petersburg. I'm so excited about this new start for the both of them. They absolutely deserve this!!

I think this may be in my top 5 pictures ever. Super sweet.

Work it, work it, work it...

Best of 2011

2011 has been a whirlwind. I can't believe I get to do this as a career. How lucky am I? I've met some pretty fabulous people, and had the best times on these shoots & weddings. I was both excited and dreading going through all of my 2011 pictures to pick out my favorites. Excited, well because I love these pictures & I'm so excited to reminisce. I was dreading because.. THERE'S TOO MANY!!! It was so hard to pick!!
