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 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
Shannon and Grant
Shannon and Grant were married at Paradise Cove, a gorgeous spot for a wedding in orlando. We had a picturesque day and they were so easy to work with. Aloha productions did all the catering and it came complete with a show of hula dancers and fire twirlers. How much fun! As you can see they had wonderful time and we had a beautiful sunset to cap the evening off. Also, a shout out to my buddy Kevin Keelan who helped me with the shoot tonight. Thanks Shannon and Grant for the pleasure of celebrating
your wedding with you.
Amie and Lee
Another former student of mine, Amie Cox, just married Lee Holtzman on March 6th in San Antonio, FL. I never knew there was another San Antonio other than Texas. The wedding day was absolutely gorgeous and the couple had a great time with the entire day. They got married at St. Anthony's and the reception was at her grandparents amazing home, which you can see in the photos. Edmund from Rhodes Studios joined me in doing all the video throughout the day. It is always special to celebrate a wedding day, and what an extra honor to do so with a former student. Thanks Amie and congratulations to you and Lee. I am also unveiling my new logo for the first time on the blog. These were done by a very talent graphic designer, Jason Simpson.
Perfect Wedding Guide Bridal Show
I just returned from the perfect wedding guide bridal show this afternoon and they once again put on a great show. Thank you to all the brides, grooms, parents, and friends who stopped by to say hi to us today. It was a pleasure speaking with all of you and congratulations on your weddings. My wife Tara helped me set up the booth with her artistic touch and I hope you all enjoyed the display. Also, a special thanks to Melissa Mercado who helped me with the booth. She and Chris, her husband, were married last February at the Royal St. Cloud Country Club. She volunteered to help me today, and as a former bride did a wonderful job explaining the process of how to approach a wedding. I look forward to meeting with some more of you as time permits. Please let me know if I can be of any other help to you along the way.
A Princess and Her Prince
Monday was a beautiful day in Florida and Melissa, Tanner, and I arranged to take some very special photos in Disney World. My eldest daughter loves all the Disney Princesses so this was a great idea. We went into the magic kingdom to meet Aurora(sleeping beauty), Belle, and Cinderella. My girls 3 and 1 were very excited, yet shy about the meeting. Aurora and her prince are to be married soon so this was a chance for them to get some photos along with my kids. We had a great time and my eldest girl, Roen, keeps asking to see the princess pictures now that we are home. You can see Aurora with her prince and Melissa and Tanner together as well. Melissa works at Disney so this was a special time with her prince in a variety of settings. Thanks Tanner and Melissa for a special day with my girls at the park and for introducing us to Aurora. I hope your wedding is a magical day and I know it will be happily ever after for the two of you. Okay I know it is cheesy, but weddings should be fun, exciting, and have some magic to them right? See you both again real soon.
