120217_lake_weir_wedding_photographer_abby_matt_14

We are so excited about Abby & Matt’s Lake Weir wedding and even more excited about their marriage that starts this May. They’ve been together a little over 2 years, yet it’s like they’ve known each other their whole lives. They were set up on a blind date and hit it off instantly. Matt texted her later that evening because he wanted her to know he liked her. Matt states “From that day it’s been the best two years of my life.That was the best chance I ever took and I feel so blessed for that day when Abby came [...]

They are the last of the “wolf pack” to get married – a core group of 4 couples that have hung out over the last few years. The three other coupes are in the wedding a bridesmaids and groomsmen. Pretty cool. We’re so excited about Kate & Brian’s Marie Selby Botanical Gardens wedding and reception. Plus, we’ll get to hang out with Jamie & Gavin & Stephanie & Jon, whose weddings we documented with Kate as a bridesmaid.

Paradise Cove Wedding Photographer :: Getting To Know Sarah & Joe

111209_lale_eola_engagement_pictures_riffe_15

Sarah & Joe’s Paradise Cove wedding is quickly approaching, and we are so honored to be a part of it. These two met on the job and in time were drawn to one another. Sarah got Joe’s jokes and that makes her a “keeper” in his eyes. He initially did not intend to date anyone he worked with. Oh well!! They no longer work together but enjoy very much being together doing pretty much anything when they can. Sarah loves Joe’s easy-going attitude, the way he always puts others first, the color of his eyes, and his sarcastic humor that’s [...]

111125_piedmont_park_engagement_session_kennedy_05

Jenna reached out to us last year after she and Patrick got engaged. She and Mike have know of each other since their teenage years in St Timonthy’s youth group in Atlanta. She wanted to know if we knew any Atlanta photographers we could recommend. “Us” we said!! We consider Atlanta a second home to us (our family is from there after all) so there isn’t a travel charge for us to document wedding stories there. We met soon thereafter and are SO excited to be a part of this amazing journey. Jenna & Patrick met through mutual friends at [...]

Jacksonville Wedding Photojournalist :: Getting to know Todd & Suzie

111002_jacksonville_engagement_photos_smith_10

It was an immediate attraction. Todd walked in the room and Suzie felt it. Even her CPR classmate noticed and gave her a hard time. Todd had stepped to the back of the room and then corrected Suzie in her compression of her infant dummy. She literally thought her ears were going to catch fire because she was so blushed! She soon found out he was unavailable and didn’t really give him another thought, until Snoopy showed up. Todd & Suzie ended up working at the same fire station in Jacksonville for a bit. Todd was bringing his dog Snoopy [...]

Jacksonville Wedding Photojournalist :: Sheri & Mike

111003_jacksonville_engagement_photos_hahn_06

Between eHarmony and Facebook, I just don’t know how people would come together these days. A large number of our couples have reconnected on Facebook and several others actually met on eHarmony, such as Sheri & Mike. They chatted online for a while before their first official date at Joe’s Crab Shack on the beach in Jacksonville. After making an immediate connection in person, they decided to grab a calzone elsewhere and then take a ride on the Harley (Sheri’s first) to Amelia Island for the evening. Sheri says it was perfect, like she’d know Mike forever. They recently just [...]

St. Augustine Wedding Photographer :: Getting To Know Lake & Jeff in Atlanta, Ga

110829_atlanta-wedding-photographer-lake-jeff_05

Jeff noticed her as she got out of the car at the gas station. “I really need to meet that girl” he thought to himself. It’s not like he had to go hit on the girl at the gas station either. They were both on a road trip with mutual friends over Labor Day weekend to the mountains. Jeff had the opportunity that whole weekend to get to know Lake. And what he got to know, he really liked. Jeff finally asked Lake out on an official date after the Ga/FL football weekend in 2009 where they enjoyed sushi and [...]

Orlando Wedding Photographer :: Getting to know Stefanie & Ryan

110819_winter_park_engagement_photos_smith_15

It started when they worked together at a CPA firm back in 2007. Ryan thought she was the hottest girl at the office and looked sexy walking in heels. He admired her sitting in her office as he would walk by . He said to himself that if he ever got a chance with Stefanie, that he would marry her. It took almost a year for that official first date to happen, and then they couldn’t tell anyone since you weren’t really allowed to date a coworker. Oh, and let me not forget the part where Stefanie tells Ryan that [...]

You just never know when you’re going to meet that special someone. For most people, it happens unexpectedly in a random sort of way. Definitely when you’re not expecting it or looking for it. That’s how it was for Jennifer and Billy. They had know each other since high school and had mutual friends, but it was on the way to a friend’s birthday celebration that they truly connected on the flight there. Unexpectedly, beach-city girl meets county boy. And there was a connection. They’ve been together ever since that weekend at Mindy’s party. There was just something about Billy [...]

110807_lake_weir_engagement_session_farner_03

He WAS the cutest guy in their ’06 college class. So, it was only natural that Anna and all her friends figured out how to sit as close to him as possible. Anna & Kyle would chit chat & share homework answers, but nothing too serious. And then on the way to Crystal River with some friends one weekend, Anna realizes that Kyle is in the truckload of guys driving close by. At the light she decides to yell her number at him. She says she doesn’t do that on a regular basis……. Much to her surprise, Kyle did call [...]
