Merry Christmas!

admin — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 18:32:12 +0000

For the first time since moving to Florida five years ago, Karl, Iso, and I are celebrating Christmas in Michigan- snow and all! So far our visit includes cozy fires, a surprise visit from the cousins, candy cane cookies and pulla, games of Taboo, and catching up with friends and family. This year has been wonderful, personally and professionally, and we are so excited for what’s to come in 2012. Thank you to each of you for the love and support you have shared. We feel truly blessed. Wishing you and your loved ones a laughter-and-treats-filled holiday!

Christmas Cheer

We’re all set and ready to celebrate the holidays at home. This includes curling up by our fake fireplace on TV, drinking hot cocoa, wrapping gifts, and watching movies like Elf. Maybe we’ll even working in some caroling. As Buddy says: The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!

Megan & Matt | Plantation on Crystal River | Florida Wedding Photography

A few weeks ago we drove north to Crystal River for Megan and Matt’s wedding. The celebratory events took place at the Plantation on Crystal River, a sprawling old Florida resort. Their first sight was incredibly sweet and we had fun taking pictures under the giant mossy trees. Congratulations Megan and Matt!

Lindsay & Jeff | Ritz-Carlton Naples Golf Resort | Naples Wedding Photographer

Karl and I photographed this lovely wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Naples Golf Resort just a couple weeks ago. Lindsay and Jeff had an intimate celebration with close family and friends. The breeze that day scattered the ceremony’s rose petals across the lawn like a pink snowfall. There’s something exciting about the wind blowing through the trees, through your hair, don’t you agree? Navy and pink touches accented the pretty reception space where there was dancing, toasting, and many laughs shared. Congratulations Lindsay and Jeff, and thank you so much for having us be a part of your day!

Nicole & Stephen | Hyatt Regency Coconut Point | Naples Wedding Photography

admin — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 22:32:50 +0000

This wedding at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point is such a treat to share. We had so much fun photographing Nicole and Stephen, from their St. Pete engagement session with their big sweet dogs to their sparkly grand exit. In addition to the photography we set up our fotobooth for their reception and shot a foto video! Of course this was all achieved with the help and talents of Angelina and Justin. Working alongside us at this event was a dream list of wedding-pros. Kelly and her team at Weddings by Socialites put together the loveliest ceremony and dinner spaces. I could go on and on about the flowers, hair and makeup, fabulous wedding party, and smiles shared between the newlyweds, but I’ll let the photos speak for themselves. Nicole and Steve, thank you both so much for including us in your celebration. Congrats!

Nicole threw the bouquet as she and Stephen made their grand exit. See it in mid-air?

Brooke & Loren | Brooklyn Bridge Engagement Session

On a recent weekend trip to New York City we met Brooke and Loren for a sunset walk across the Brooklyn Bridge. Even though the bridge was packed full of people and bikes we managed to get some great engagement shots. We’ll see Brooke and Loren again soon for their December wedding here in Naples!

Take a look at this gorgeous wedding we recently photographed at the Ritz-Carlton Naples Golf Resort. Terrilyn and Scott were an absolute pleasure to work with and the day couldn’t have been prettier. The fabulous Robert Williamson Band entertained guests during the glowing reception. Congratulations Terrilyn and Scott, and thank you for having us capture your wedding!

Molly & Kyle | Marco Island Marriott Wedding Photography

What is it about people from the midwest? Really, they are so friendly and enjoyable to be around. That’s how we felt about Molly, Kyle, and every other person at their Marco Island Marriott wedding. The sun even set in a glow of grey and yellow to perfectly complement the day’s events. Congratulations to both of you!
