The Big Picture

So happy to display these images! This couple means a great deal to us, not only because they go to our church but because we’ve gotten to know them so well. Caroline has been our daughter’s group leader and has done a great job mentoring and inspiring her to higher living. Personally, I knew Ben was a winner when we met for the initial consultation at Starbucks and he brought some of his leftover birthday cheesecake. Can you say Awesome!

We loved their wedding at Windmill Galleries in McIntosh and working with so many great people, including coordinator Ashley Baker. As deep followers of our faith, we have been so blessed to work with several couple’s this year who are deeply committed to there union in God. We love working with all sorts of couple’s but these definitely have special meaning.

Congrats Ben and Caroline…..

Enjoy!!

I resist starting with a blog post stating that this is a “special” event because they all are. Our clients ALL mean the world to us.

So, I humbly say this event was special.

Jon is a pastor at the church Marian and I are so involved with and Nancy is much more than just a beautiful bride. Looking at these images, when you get past the fun, playfulness, emotion and excitement that is certainly playing out in each frame, you find something deeper. In fact, our senior pastor, who obviously performed the ceremony, did a sermon about spiritual joy. It was pretty obvious to me that being only a week removed from this event he was speaking to what we in attendance all felt. Something different, something special.

If I could offer a visual representation of spiritual joy it would be what you see below. God meant for us to be happy and this is what that looks like, when we put him first in our hearts.

So happy that Jon and Nancy chose us for this big day and we thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Such a blessing.

Enjoy!!

Cannot wait to share this one! We had this one circled on the calender ever since their engagement session where we could not leave without “one more pose.” Well, this time it was about the moments and emotion and all the other elements that make up our coverage. It was amazing!

Before I go any further, a huge congrats are in order for both of them because……they both became doctors the same week they were married. Seriously, how cool is that. We love doctors and their friends. Not because of the obvious reasons but because you never know when you will end up on their table with scalpel in hand……but I digress.

It was actually our first chance to work at the new Villa East. Had done many at its former self, Savannah Grande but this was really impressive. It was gone from extremely dated to wayyyy cool. Definitely a thumbs up to those considering getting married there.

Less talk more photos…

Enjoy!!

We had such a great time in Cedar Key covering the wedding for this amazing couple. Such a genuine and visible love.

Last year we made a huge push to stick closer to Gainesville for events so we could be closer to our kids but getting away to Cedar Key, even for a day, felt like one of the destination weddings we have grown accustomed to covering. Love the ocean, vibe, people and culture. My only regret was that the day did last even longer.

The added treat was getting to work with our beloved friend Angela Renick. It was not too long ago that she was the top wedding planner in the region before deciding to spend more time with her family and a new job in ministry. She is truly our hero. It was awesome to work with her again.

On to the pictures.

Emjoy!!
