Alyson & Ben : Naples, Florida Engagement photography

Oh Naples, Its funny. Where you grow up you just want to leave... I believe there is a saying that you don't know a good thing till its gone. Well one thing I now say is that this is as north {orlando} as I'll ever live. Its colder up there and I'm not a fan of how spread out Orlando seems too be. So my plan is to shoot more in Naples. I get to be by my family. Its really nice. They appreciate it too. Even in the dog population in our house multiplies 2 times. They are amazing, crazy, total reality potential family. Let's just say the kardashians have nothing on us. But we love each other. I also am loving shooting in new locations. I mean its a breath of fresh air. plus I stole my moms bike! It makes a cameo appearance. I was really excited about that!

We met in Kindergarden, We were ducklings and oh so cute {I bet}! Alyson and I went to Kindergarden, yes I said Kindergarden together!! But we also went all the way threw high school together and now I am her wedding photographer! What I remember most about Alyson was how kind and caring she was. Just very observant to everyones feelings. Alyson and Ben are getting married in the Fall! I can't explain how excited I am! We are like pen pals now, writing so many emails... I thought Ben would think I was trying to steal her away... But its not possible. These two click so well. There's a spark and an intense magnetic pull between them. I really think I captured them too! I love seeing and meeting people in love. One of my favorite parts of my job is that I get to make people kiss! Oh and I must say they were up for anything, any location, random props, even long emails about my doggies! We love our dogs so it works so well! Enjoy so Naples Romance! ....

Kate & Sam: Celebration Florida Engagement & Wedding Photographer

Kate and Sam are going to be married at ... The celebration Hotel!!! YAY Im so excited. I can literally walk there. In fact I probably will! So I got really excited before their engagements.... why you ask... well not only do I think that Kate and I were on the same page but I found Balloons... Big balloons too!! I had to order them online! Apparently I need to invest in a helium tank. That's what the lady at the grocery store said. In fact I drew up quite a stir in there. The balloons were sooo big they were heavy. But that's how I roll {or how I like to think I roll} Balloons just make you smile, as Mark says that's their purpose. Well then purpose fulfilled! So we have Balloons and the fun fantastic Couple! They just complement each other so well. I loved watching them. They seem to have a ton of inside jokes and I can tell that they just want to be in each other's company. Thank you for letting me take your engagement pictures and Im oh sooooo excited for your wedding in July!

So here's your sneak peek::




Love this!!!!

It's my beautifully and talented couple that are fantastic and fun in every way! This is their second half of the timeless 50's shoot! Talk about working it!! They are so comfortable in front of the camera and the camera just loves them as much as I do! SO beware this is going to be a long post with many images... Im sure you all aren't to upset! I edited all the pictures to amazing music! I had headphones in...Which will never deter me from singing my heart out... So I formally apologize to Mark, Lizzie and Gus Gus for the many hours of me singing A cappella... It was still great in my mind! I love pandora :)

A 50's style photoshoot....

She lights up the whole room with her smile. I love happy people. The kind of people that glow from the inside out. They are pretty cool and I swear they have this sort of gravitational pull that just makes you happy, the kind of happy where you don't have a care in the world. Emille is one of those awesome fab. people! Talk about smiling with your eyes! Emille loves Z and Z loves Emille. I knew that the moment I saw them together. Their love is undeniable. The best part about their love is that it seems new, fresh, and filled with butterflies. However when I saw them together I was like "so when are you too getting married." Her answer, "we have been married 6 years"..... No 7 year itch here. They are so cute together. Its like a high school love. Tender, fresh and new! It glows! They totally are going to be that cute old couple in the park that hold hands and pinches each others butts. I just can't really say enough about them. They even LOVE sushi! I mean come on! oh and she's the best massager ever! I experienced her! twice! :) Well now that I have you all extremely jealous... I'll let you meet them! I am so excited that they trusted me enough to shoot a 50's style shoot. We actually had to reschedule about 3 times due to Florida's thunderstorms.... {grrr} With out further udo::
















{you got to work with the rain}

{I do love how it makes the world shinny looking tho}
