Baby on the Way!

I had the opportunity to photography pre-baby photos today for Jean Paul and Michele. Their wedding was three years ago and now they are expanding their family unit with their first child. In one month their life will never be the same and I'm so thrilled for them. Congratulations!

Myers Family...Elizabeth is the Star of course!

This morning was a fun day doing baby photos for Jeff and Ursula's new baby girl, Elizabeth. I photographed their wedding two years ago on 8/8/08 in Sanibel Island and it was a great time. Hard to believe two years have passed and now they are beginning a family. Elizabeth you sure are cute!

Melissa & Steve @ The Royal Crest Room - St. Cloud

Melissa and Steve were married June 26 at the Royal Crest Room in St. Cloud. Yes, it was a beautiful wedding and, yes, it was HOT!!! Peddles provided the flowers and the entertainment was done by Phil from Soundwave entertainment. We had a really nice time and Melissa and Steve enjoyed their moment in the spotlight together. Thank you for the opportunity to celebrate with you both, even if you are Miami Dolphins fans...go Packers! Here are a few photos from the day.

Orlando Wedding Professionals Cover Photo

This is the cover shot, my first one, for the Orlando Wedding Professionals new bridal directory. The shoot took place at The Mission Inn in Howey-in-the-Hills, a beautiful location for weddings. After the shoot they did a runway display for the bridal show later that day. We had a really fun time with all the models and they were great to work with. Flowers were supplied by Lee Forest Design, thank you Lee for the beautiful arrangements. Missie Lopez from Studio 4 Graphix is the magazine designer. Pick up a new copy of the magazine as they are now being delivered to locations across Central Florida. If you have any questions about the magazine contact Phil Joeckel, the publisher of the magazine. Thanks Phil for the opportunity to work with you and represent your first class publication.

3 Days, 3 Weddings, 3 Sunsets

Thursday April 1st Jason and Elyse were married at the Omni Champions Gate, Friday April 2nd Dustin and Alison were married at her home in Oviedo, and Saturday April 3rd Brett and Lauren had their wedding and reception at Timacuan Country Club. About the same time each evening we got some really nice sunset shots. This is one of my favorite things to do and the results you get with just one vivitar off camera flash are consistently amazing. The colors just pop. Thanks for the fun weekend to all three couples.
The other three shots were from the lobby at Champions Gate and Timacuan Country Club. They were some of my favorites and struck me as fun, memorable shots.

Shanna & John

Shanna and John met me at the Sanford Marina Riverwalk this evening for an engagement shoot. This is another school teacher and Shanna teaches the 5th grade. God bless our elementary school teachers. I could not do what they do and they deserve all the accolades and recognition they can get. It was a bit windy this evening to start, but once the wind died down we were able to get some really fun photos and capture the essence and playfulness of the couple.

Elie'se and Mitchell

What a difference a week makes in health and sky. Last Tuesday I had a 102 fever and had to cancel the shoot. Well, a week later I felt much better and the evening was gorgeous...beautiful sky, cool temps, and a very fun couple. Elie'se and Mitchell are getting married in June and we were able to photograph their engagement photos at Crane's Roost Park. Even with all the people out walking it felt like we were the only 3 people there. We can only hope for a sunset like this on their wedding day as well. We achieved these gorgeous sunset shots with one vivitar, pocket wizards, and a nikon D300/D700. Thank you for a memorable evening Elie'se and Mitchell and I look forward to your wedding day.
