I had the most wonderful a few months back shooting one of my amazing GROOMS today, David Sharpe! Yep. He and Erin just said I DO in this very backyard only a few weeks ago! Before I share their special day though I have to show off what we did instead of a traditional engagement session.

Gahhhhhhh!!! COLOR! And AWESOMENESS! That was my morning with the incredibly talented owner and artist of Nail Pop LLC, Erin. She is a magical creature and her home studio is a perfect reflection of her true self. It was such an honor to photograph her! And all of the shiny things….drool. 

That was my face 99% of the time while actually rubbing shoulders with masters of the craft from all over the world! For 8 days I was overwhelmingly inspired. Read on to hear more about my first time experience at Wedding & Portrait Photographers International Conference and Expo.

I had the most fantastic evening shooting the gorgeous soaps and products from Olfaction at West Elm Tampa! Paige makes beautiful hand made soaps, candles, and more with locally sourced natural ingredients. And they are delicious! Her pop up shop  at West Elm was a total success and the PERFECT spot to shoot her inventory for her new web site and Etsy Shop. I was a kid in a candy store, using all kinds of pretty little things alongside her goodies.

Woooo!! Congratulations to Kelsey and AJ!! What a gorgeous day!! Wind and all 🙂 Every detail was perfect and I LOVED the enthusiasm and smiles! A huge thank you to the Mr. & Mrs. and their wedding party for braving the gale forces for the sunset, they came out amazing!

After being long time friends (and even co-workers) with Lindsey, I am SO happy to see her tie the knot this spring!! We got together with her hubby-to-be Brad to take some charming engagement photos in the picturesque neighborhood of Celebration! Their wedding is coming up in March at the Winter Park Farmer’s Market… I can’t wait!!
