"I do's" on the Beach

Welcome to Churchill's Photography's first beach wedding!! We've been wanting to do one for awhile so when we were contacted concerning this one we were very excited. It went extremely well and we got so many great shots...we decided to do a larger than normal post. Enjoy!

Kalieta was such a fun-loving, relaxed bride the entire day. She laughed almost the entire time!

They got a room at the Jupiter Beach Resort for the bride and bridesmaids to get ready.

New feature! Jolie and I (John-Paul) are now going to vote on our favorite pic.

This is our winner!

I don't know who smiled more, the bride or Nick, the groom.

Dad and daughter wait to go down the aisle (so to speak.)

The ceremony was so beautiful and simple and Nick and Kalieta were so in love. We loved it!

Nick gets a bear hug from his mom. The entire family on both sides were so loving.

2nd Place in the "Admired by Beckstead" Veil Competition

We just got 2nd place in the "Admired by Beckstead" Veil Competition!! What an honor and a great surprise for us! Here is the link and below is the comment from Beckstead and photo that we won with.

From Beckstead: “The veil feels like an extension of the background clouds! I just love this abstract composition! The dark b&w sky really highlight the clouds and the veil seems to mock the look and style of the clouds perfectly! I am glad the bride is facing away so her look does not interrupt the flow. Just great!”

Shea & Kristy - Wedding

The fireman and the accountant are now married!  It was great to be able to get back together with Shea and Kristy for another special day after doing their engagement shoot several months ago.  We showed up the wedding day morning at Kristy's house with donuts and lattes to find everyone happy, relaxed and a little sleepy.  The rest of the day was just like that, except for the sleepy part. :-)  It was so enjoyable to be at a relaxed wedding because they can often be a little stressful.  The couple is obviously in love and surrounded by a loving family.  Pictures were a breeze too; the locations we were able to use were perfect and Shea even planned a surprise for Kristy and arranged for us to be able to use the fire station again!  It's always great when the couple gets involved in the photos and helps scout out locations.  Thanks Shea and Kristy for allowing us to be a part of your very special day!!

Shea and Kristy's house ended up being perfect for Kristy's pictures!

I couldn't believe she was willing to climb up on top of the fire truck!  We had a brave bride!

The Craig Cantrell Family

Wow! What a fun family to take pictures of. After trying for about a year to schedule a photo shoot we were finally able to get together and have a fun, relaxing time taking a bunch of pictures. Little Drake was soooo cute and was just a cut up! Lauren, his mom, was beautiful and looked absolutely stunning in all of the pictures. Craig, the very proud father and husband, just couldn't hide his love for his little family. The time flew by and we soon realized it was time to quit (I think poor little Drake was especially ready:-) and were so pleased to look through the photos and see such great results. Thanks Cantrell Family!

He just started squealing and wouldn't stop. I could barely take any pictures I was laughing so much!

This picture gives a little glimpse of how fun the shoot was. Everyone was laughing and smiling so much!

Peek-a-boo!

Just so beautiful!
