David and Amanda - The Wedding

We were so happy to join up with David and Amanda again to photograph their wedding after doing their engagement session several weeks ago. Just like the engagement session they were simply beautiful together...and like their engagement session it was freezing! I think either they are jinxing us or we're jinxing them. :-) Either way it was a beautiful wedding in a pretty little white church surrounded by their friends and family. We then went to the reception which was in Amanda's grandparent's background..it was simply, well, beautiful! Everyone outdid themselves to create a beautiful setting for David and Amanda's wedding day. Thank you guys for letting us spend some time with you on your very special day. Congratulations!

Her dress was so pretty! The detailing was fantastic.

A sweet little note from her husband-to-be.

This is Jolie's favorite. Amanda looked absolutely stunning, the lighting was perfect and the detailing in her dress stood out beautifully!

The groom, handsome as ever. His calm exterior hid a very nervous groom! He made it through, though!

If these ladies look cold it's because they were. I think they would actually say they were freezing!

Love this shot!

Mmmm, the kid's "appetizers!"

This is John-Paul's favorite shot. Antique cars photograph so well!

Matt Marshall Family

Okay, this was one of the fastest/shortest shoots I think we have ever done! Our best friends Matt and Sara and their two children Kate (the youngest) and Chloe came for a short visit from Mississippi. (And yes, I did just do the little sing song rhyme to spell the state correctly.) :-) We were so happy that we even were able to get a shoot in since there was so much on the agenda and so little time. We had a blast as you can see, there was a lot of silliness and laughter. Chloe is not a big fan of getting her picture taken so I, of course, had to revert to singing an oldie but a goodie, Elmo’s song to keep her entertained (aka standing still) and smiling. Thank you guys for the great visit and the fun shoot! Come see us again soon!

Lil' Kate...just so cute!

A briefly serene Chloe, always so full of life!

Putting Chloe on Matt's shoulders didn't go too well!

Daddy and his girls.

Mark and Elisa's Wedding

Saturday morning, January 30, 2010 was a beautiful day for an outdoor wedding...which is a good thing because there had been much debate between the bride and her family whether or not it was a good idea to have the wedding outside. Well, the bride won out and it turned out she was right! :-) It was a perfect Florida winter day, the kind that convinces snowbirds to move south in the winter, and the wedding responded by being perfect as well. It was held in front of Hobe Sound Bible Church on the front lawn where passing motorists got to catch a glimpse of the proceedings; some cyclistists even stopped to watch. It was such a happy ceremony too. You could tell the bride and groom were very in love. It was also a very relaxed day. I don't think we've had a more relaxed shooting time with the bridal party and the bride and groom. I could stand for every wedding to be that way! :-) Anyway, congratulations guys! You deserve each other.

The guests line up!

The bride takes a peek at the gathering guests. You can just feel her anticipation!

The bride's father was sharing the story of how she and Mark got together. It was sweet.

The reception was simple but so pretty. We loved the colors!

This is John-Paul's favorite shot..a peekaboo kiss!

I declare these kids have a career in modeling ahead of them! So cute!

This is Jolie's favorite shot. They looked so relaxed and happy...and completely unaware we were even there.

Ok, this shot made me so nervous. Her dress was very slippery on the bridge (think socks on tile) but the groom reassured us both he had her.
