Callie & Adam : Wedding

Callie & Adam are officially my cutest couple ever. You may remember from their engagement shoot, Callie is 5'2" and Adam is 6'7". Needless to say, I thought it was going to be a challenge to photograph these two together, but despite their heights, they went together perfectly. They were married at Paradise Cove in Orlando, a new favorite location of mine, and the day couldn't have been more perfect. With a 70% chance of rain for this outdoor wedding, we didn't see a drop. Callie's Mom even told me that their prayer group had been praying for it to stay dry, and it did! Callie was such a beautiful bride, and she couldn't stop smiling. She was adorable, the kind of bride every girl wants to be.

I met Callie & Adam through her sister Amy, who I met through another bride and we became instant friends. This is why you'll see so many photos of Callie & Adam with Amy and Ben *Amy's husband* They were Callie & Adam's maid of honor and best man, and no one else would have been better suited for the roll. Their families were so close, you could just see how much they all loved each other.

So congratulations to Callie & Adam, I know your marriage will be as beautiful as your wedding.




She wore 5 inch heels! This girl is amazing!








She was so excited! Just look at her face! I love it










We all decided to do a "silly pose." The ring bearer is definitely my favorite.


THIS is my favorite shot. She was winking at him as she got up to the alter. And the look on her Dad's face is priceless as well!








Hey it's me! My assitant for the day and friend Heidi took this shot of me working. I'm going to have a messed up nose in another 10 years if I don't quit squishing it up... but don't they look gorgeous?






Love this!




Ben sang their first dance song and played the guitar as well. It was absolutely beautiful, and now a new favorite song of mine, "Nothing Fancy" by David Barnes








Dollar Dance collectors - you two are awesome




Cutest exit! I love the outfits they changed into. Congratulations again you two!

Allison & Patrick : Wedding

Last month I helped my friend Carly shoot a wedding down in Ft. Lauderdale (my old hometown!)

When we arrived at the church, we had no idea how absolutely GORGEOUS it was going to be. The church was HUGE (just see below) and it was Allison's home church, she'd been going there her whole life! Allison and Patrick were adorable together, and they had a stunning wedding. Unfortunately some rain kept us from doing a lot of portraits of them (also see storm clouds below) but it was still a perfect day. And their friends really knew how and loved to dance! We wanted to get out there with them! So Thank you Allison and Patrick for allowing me to tag along :) I had a wonderful time!
