The Big Picture

Wedding- Matt and Tonya (Rob)

June 23, 2011 – 10:40 pm

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!!

Wedding- Matt and Tonya (Marian)

I am especially happy with Marian’s work at this event as she had some really exceptional moments. We truly loved this couple, this event and their wedding day. They are a Hall of Fame type couple and so much fun to work with.

Wedding- Lauren and Jordan (Rob)

June 12, 2011 – 12:04 am

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!!

My first quinceanara

June 5, 2011 – 9:55 pm

As the title suggests…..I have never shot a quinceanara. Not that I never wanted to, just never came up. In this case it was my pastor’s daughter, Samara. Normally my approach would have been different. You know, getting ready and the build up. In this case I was trying to do something nice for this sweet girl who is also a friend of my daughter. I really only spent a couple hours getting candid shots. Love that it was at my church and was dedicated to Jesus. I love being able to serve.

Enjoy!

Wedding- Nathan and Fe (Rob)

May 27, 2011 – 10:17 pm

Sometimes Sunday weddings are just perfect as is the case with this elegantly planned event. Had it been the day before it would have been a mud fest because it rained all day. This couple was blessed with a crisp and surprisingly cool Sunday with blue skies ans severe clear. The kind of day that is just perfect for an outdoor shindig.

Nathan and Fe were a blast to work with and so much fun. One of my favorite parts is when the groomsman threw down for a a sprint outside their cottage before the wedding and then hoisted Nathan above their shoulders. Never seen that before but it was a photojournalists dream.

As usual, Sweetwater Branch was picture perfect. Food was awesome and the staff was exceptionally kind.

All these great ingredients lead to great images.

Enjoy!!

She always beats me in the service to the bride and groom category…totally the utility wedding pro/go to player. Always nails some great moments as well.

Engagement- Ben and Caroline

April 30, 2011 – 11:12 pm

I think Micanopy might just be the coolest engagement background in town. If its good enough for Doc Hollywood than its good enough for us. Also, I think this couple might just be the coolest ever. Not sure I have ever laughed so much on an e-shoot ever. They have their relationship rooted in the Lord and they walk it out for all to see. We know them from church and Caroline is our daughter’s youth leader. So needless to say we are super fond of them. Really wanted to go the extra mile for them but it doesn’t really work that way. We go the distance on every shoot. No extra miles laying around!

Enjoy!!

Engagement- Matt and Tonya

April 19, 2011 – 12:58 am

Oh boy…I just love this couple!

There are some people that get it and are naturals. Matt and Tonya are that way. Naturals. We spent more time with this shoot than normal because we just kept getting so many great moments. That is reflected by the length of this blog post.

As always, our goal with engagement shoots is for the people that know and love them to say- “YES, you captured them” and I really feel like we achieved that on this.

Hope you agree.

Enjoy!

Wedding- Joe and Michelle (Rob)

April 15, 2011 – 11:17 pm

A beautiful day at the Thomas Center with an amazing couple like Joe and Michelle and you can get a supersized, superfun post like this. Joe is a great photographer in his own right so it was such an honor to be chosen as their photographer. Michelle is such a warm and open person to be around and that comes through in this collection of moments. We had the pleasure of working with the amazing coordinator duo of Amy and Rebecca from Adore who helped make it a perfect day.

So happy I am just going to shut up and share these images.

Enjoy!!
