It was Paris, Summer of 2006. Their eyes discover one another at the bar. She thinks he is the most incredibly sexy man she has ever seen. For her, it’s love at first sight. He meanders his way through the crowd and buys her a drink. He is struck by her sophisticated elegance and remarkable beauty. She is attracted to his relaxed confidence, sense of humor and dreamy blue eyes. And they talk into the evening. They soon picnic in the park while lovingly gazing into one another’s eyes………
Ripped right out of a romance novel, right??? Well, sort of. This is the story of Jamie & Gavin, with maybe a little added embellishment by the author. Gavin didn’t actually buy Jamie a drink. You see, Gavin ordered the the drinks then realized he was out of money, thus having Jamie actually buy the drinks!! Hence the picnic that Gavin took Jamie on to make up for it. And, thus, a love of picnics and for each other began.
There are so many other things that Jamie & Gavin love, one being New York. It was only fitting that we did their Getting-to-Know-You Session there, in this great and fabulous city that they live in and love. Mike traveled up there during one of the many super-cold snaps we’ve had this winter. It was especially chilly!! They were such great sports, but I’m sure they were glad to get back to their apartment and warm up snuggling on the couch. Here’s some of our favorites from their Super Bowl Sunday session.
Thanks, Jamie & Gavin, for a wonderful afternoon hanging out in New York. We are so excited about your Palm Harbor White Chapel wedding and Bon Appetit reception this spring!

Welcome! And thanks for stopping by. This is our newly re-born blog and we are so very excited about it. It has only taken us about 3 years to get here, but hey, who’s counting??
I thought we should start off by introducing who is most important to us- our boys Brooks & Bryce- just in case you didn’t know by now! They are the reason we wake in the morning (literally, because they wake us up!!!) and they keep us really focused on what’s important. They also keep us exhausted, frustrated, confused, happy, thankful, amazed, amused and too many others [...]

Lora & Lewis met a few years back through church in a round-a-bout way . The complete story is MUCH better when told by them! It seems that they sort of went on a first date without one of them not actually realizing it was a first date. Hmmmm, bet that was interesting! And well, after a couple months of dating, a breakup, some drama, and a wee bit of begging from one party to another, Lora & Lewis reunited and have been blissfully happy ever since. We are so thrilled that we have been invited to [...]

Little Miss Jade came into the world just a little over a month ago to proud parents Keri & Patric. She’s already a world traveler as she started out in Switzerland and came all the way here to Orlando to be born. Keri’s parents live here, and she and Patric thought it might be a little easier having some family around to help with this new chapter in their lives. Smart move We’re glad you’re here! Mike was able to get some great maternity shots of these expecting parents about a month prior to Jade’s arrival. Keri looks [...]

We had the absolute joy of being in St Augustine a few weeks ago for Lindsey & Richard as they became husband and wife at Ancient City Baptist Church. Family and friends celebrated this “mixed” marriage at the White Room afterwards. What an incredibly fun and genuine group of people.
So, what do I mean by “mixed” marriage? Well, SHE is a Seminole and HE is a Gator. I suppose there are worse things and I suppose their marriage will survive these vast differences. Of course it will!!!! This wedding was so great. Richard serenaded his groomsmen and the girls danced [...]
