Engagement- Mark and Kristin

April 2, 2010 – 1:39 am

Happy to present a selection of images from this happy couple’s engagement shoot. Actually it was two shoots, which we rarely do, because our first attempt was amidst winds that must have been gusting to about 40mph. Not good for the hair! That being said, I think we got some of our best shots that day but still had a chance under normal circumstances (and great light!).

It is awesome in that we have really gotten to know Mark and Kristin and that will really make the big day in October that much more enjoyable.

Speaking of enjoyable……..enjoy!!!!

Engagement- Dana and Devin

February 26, 2010 – 1:08 am

We had so much fun with this excitable couple that obviously has tons of personality. Spent a recent Sunday afternoon on the UF campus (and stadium) and just let them turn on the charm. We tried to play off her “girly girl” persona while he played the cool and casual guy who loves his sports.

It became quite obvious that this wedding is going to be a blast. They are getting married on the beach in Clearwater in just a few months. Can’t wait!

Enjoy!!

Engagement- Michael and Lisa

December 8, 2009 – 3:02 am

This sports loving couple was so much fun to work with the day after Thanksgiving. We had shot Lisa’s sister Kelly last year and were thrilled to be invited back for this great celebration.

Spent a couple hours at Kanapaha Park and just had a blast going from place to place. We are completely thrilled about covering this event next year!

Engagement- JG and Maria

November 21, 2009 – 3:32 pm

Meet our New Year’s Eve couple JG and Maria, they are international travelers and PHD’s to-soon-be. We had a blast last weekend shooting in the garden at Sweetwater Branch in Gainesville, which just happens to be the site of the wedding on the last day of 2009. I love good light and there was plenty of that for this shoot.

We cannot wait to ring in the New Year with this great couple.

Enjoy!!

Engagement- Emily and Aaron

October 28, 2009 – 9:01 pm

I always find it more fun to work with someone I know, especially a fellow photojournalist. Emily Harris is a current wedding photographer from South Florida who graduated from UF and worked with me at one point at the Gainesville Sun. When she contacted me about the upcoming wedding with her beau Aaron, I was more than excited for the opportunity. We hit the stadium the day after the Arkansas game and went for a round of fun shots for their 10-10-10 wedding. Such a great couple and Marian and I are excited for the big day.

Enjoy!!

Engagement- Kelly and Javier

October 28, 2009 – 11:36 am

With the cooler weather finally pushing south we are getting into engagement shoot season. Kelly and Javier, who are getting married next month in Gainesville, were one of our first for the season. This turned more into a family shoot with their two wonderful children. We had some fun at their new home which should be finished by the end of the year before heading to Kanapaha Park to get some fun posed and candid images of the family. We had a blast and cannot wait till the big day.

Blogging from the media hotel a day before the big BCS Championship. However, I could not wait till after the game to get these posted. We had a blast of a shoot with this fun couple. They have personalities that jump right out for the camera. We started sort of traditionally but quickly just let them be themselves. It worked great. They let us on about a crack in a sidewalk at UF that sort of brought them together initially……..because they both tripped on it. So we went and shot it. Told you they were fun.

Enjoy!

This was one of our best ever! We shot at the Thomas Center again but tried to focus on new angles and locations. Marian was on her “A” game with not only her shooting but really led the way with some fun poses. Dan and Ellen were up for everything we threw at them and the results show what a fun-loving personality they both share. This was truly a blast for everyone involved and they are going to have a great slide show at their reception. All I can say is good luck choosing one to enlarge!

Greetings All.

Here is a peek at my shoot with Thomas and Melissa on Sunday at the University of Florida campus. The weather was terrible leading up to Sunday so I was a bit worried but clear skies prevailed and we made some great frames at the Baughman Center and the stadium.

Luckily the gates were open at the Swamp and besides the dozen or so people playing on the field, we were able to get some cool shots. The stadium is not always the easiest place to shoot so it makes me even happier to see these.

BTW- Kudos to Thomas for letting us cover him in moss!

Engagement- Cort and Erin

This cool couple showed up at the UF Golf Course ready to roll on Sunday and we made the most out of a perfect day. Marian has been dying to do a golf-themed engagement shoot for some time now. The UF course has everything you could ask for- rolling hills, moss-filled oaks and of course, green grass.

We were hoping to do some shots in the stadium but with vice president elect Joe Biden on campus, everything was locked up…….tight. So, we used the cool new gator statue outside the recent stadium expansion. This is my favorite version on campus.

Enjoy!
