Rachel & Brian South Florida Museum Wedding (Part Two)

The details! Rachel designed the majority of the decor of her wedding around her beautiful red embroidered gown. The personal touches of this wedding were plentiful and masterfully coordinated. From a beautiful DIY escort chart, to the programs and stationery Rachel designed herself, these touches did not go unnoticed by the guests. The South Florida Museum alone is a fantastic venue and we definitely took advantage of the transition from daytime ceremony to nighttime courtyard which looked absolutely magical. Here are just a few of the gorgeous details and reception photos.






One of my favorite details was the coloring book Rachel created for the younger guests, that told the story of Rachel & Brian living happily ever after

Rachel & Brian South Florida Museum Wedding (Part One)

Rachel and Brian's wedding back in April was completely designed around Rachel's stunning red lace gown. The details that she created for her decor were so unique that I have to split this up into two posts because there are just too many fabulous pictures that I must share. I will start with their First Look which we created just before the ceremony in the courtyard of their hotel. I love doing first looks because I feel like they capture the joy an emotion of the couple seeing each other for the first time so much more intimately than during the ceremony. So Here is their first look along with some of their other portraits of the day.



I love how you can see each of their reactions when seeing each other, so emotional







You'll have to stay tuned until tomorrow when I reveal all of the spectacular details of the wedding (hint: think Red!)

Happy Fourth of July!

Hope everyone had a safe and fun weekend. We celebrated with a BBQ and playing with sparklers down at a park where we had an awesome view of St Pete's fireworks display.



I think Evan looks like a superhero here :)

Nick & Lejla St Petersburg Yacht Club Wedding

Nick & Lejla tied the knot on May 1st in downtown St Pete. Their beautiful outdoor ceremony was held in South Staub Park and their reception at the St Petersburg Yacht Club. My favorite parts of this wedding were definitely the first-look-esque reveal we had with Lejla and her Dad who was the proudest papa I have ever seen. The reception was gorgeously decorated (I loved their cherry blossom theme!) Along with just an incredible group that was ready to party into the night thanks to DJ Eric Harding from Grant Hemond & Associates. Probably the most memorable thing from this wedding though was the speech- well actually rap- her girls did to the beat of Fresh Prince of Bel Air that told the story of how Nick & Lejla met, fell in love, and lived happily ever after. Too adorable. Here are the highlights of their special day!





My favorite shot of the day








...and then we snuck out during the reception for a few night shots in Straub Park...

Christy & Joe Tampa Yacht Club Wedding

When we first met Christy and Joe we had no idea just how many different ways we were connected. Joe works at a production company Evan worked for years ago, and he went to University of Tampa when I did too. He actually won an art exhibition I held on campus while I was an RA. We had so much fun getting to know these two and their wedding reception was full of other UT alum, so it was certainly a blast from the past! Christy an Joe tied the Knot at South Tampa Fellowship on Davis Island and had their reception at the Tampa Yacht Club. Several details of this wedding are some of my all-time favorites, from the paper airplane send off, to the matching green Chuck Taylors the couple sported during the reception. (I may be a little biased since I wore sneakers to prom and wear my turquoise chucks almost everyday to the studio, but I digress.) These two are just too cute for words and their love for each other is so powerful that you can't help but smile while you are around them. Just the way they can't take their eyes off one another makes you feel the love.















Congratulations again to Mr. and Mrs. Nammour!

Kit Senior Portraits

We got the chance to hang out with Kit some more at Northshore Park for her senior portrait sessions. She is such a lively and ambitious person and we wanted to reflect that during the session. She really couldn't have made it any easier on us, it was like she knew exactly how to pose for the camera and make subtle adjustments between each shot, like a true pro! Here are my favorites from the session:









I mean could this girl be a model or what? Kit will be studying aerospace science at UF next year (Go Gators) so we wish her the best of luck!
