Beautiful St Cloud Wedding at Lake Runnymede Park

When Melissa asked me to capture her wedding, I was so incredibly honored! I met Melissa about four years ago, when she was photographing my best friend’s wedding. She had such a great presence about her – always smiling and laughing, making everyone around her feel super comfortable. At the time, I was engaged, so of course, I was paying close attention to the wedding photographers, lol. When my

friend Elizabeth received her finalized wedding pictures, they where absolutely stunning. Shortly after that, we contracted their company, Stay Forever Photography, to capture our wedding as well!! When our wedding day arrived, once again, Melissa and her partner Jess, arrived in great spirits, and did a beautiful job capturing our wedding!

After I decided to open my wedding photography business, I contacted Melissa to pick her brain. I had so many questions, and instead of her turning my overly eager self away, she very lovingly helped me out. Very quickly after that, we became great friends, and now we share a very special bond.

I was soo happy to find out that her then boyfriend, Tyler, popped the big question! They decided to have a very intimate wedding in Saint Cloud, Florida in December. It was absolutely perfect. I was so excited to be their St Cloud Wedding Photographer ! The whole wedding had a rustic feeling to it, with some added southern charm.  The ceremony was held at Lake Runnymede Park, under a gorgeously lit moss tree, with their closest friend’s and family standing nearby. Both Melissa and Tyler’s vows where so` moving. It nearly brought me to tears, but I had to maintain my composure, since I had a camera in my hand! Lol!

After the ceremony, we did their bridal portraits right in the middle of the beautiful moss trees! It was a photographer’s dream to shoot in such a perfect area. Of course, Melissa picked the spot, so it was to be expected! We then headed to Diane’s Tea Room, in downtown Saint Cloud, for some super delicious brunch, tea, and most importantly, MIMOSAS! The Tea Room is absolutely lovely. It has so much color and punch when you walk in, that it just made the perfect setting for their brunch time reception.

I’m so happy that I was able to be there, along with my family and baby girl, Penelope Anne, to witness such a genuine expression of love between two people. Thanks for letting me be a part of such a special day.  From me and my family, we sincerely wish you and Tyler and eternity of happiness. These are favorite shots from Melissa and Tyler’s big day!!

Special thanks to all the vendors involved!

Beautiful Casa Feliz Wedding

I recently assisted Lori, from Lori Barbely Photography, to capture Kendall & Matt’s gorgeous Casa Feliz Wedding in Orlando Florida! I had such an amazing time, and was so excited to see all the perfect details. Kendall & Matt were super sweet and down to earth,  and their excitement to walk down the aisle was so awesome to watch! Kendall & Matt opted in having a first look, which I recommend to ANYONE getting married. It’s just such a perfect and private moment between a bride and groom. Do It! You wont regret it.

The weather wasn’t cooperating – the day was so cold and rainy, but they didn’t let that put a damper on their day. Watching them look at each other as they recited their vows, just brought a smile to my face. Witnessing that pure happiness is what validates my love for being a wedding photographer.

Kendall & Matt – Thanks for letting me be a part of your big! I sincerely wish many years of happiness! Here are my favorite shots for Orlando Wedding at Casa Feliz!

Stylish Rollins College Wedding!

I had the pleasure of joining Tara, from Tara Libby Photography, to capture Cassie and David’s drop dead gorgeous Rollins College Wedding. This wedding was about all things bling. The whole wedding party was so stunning! The bridesmaid dresses where TO DIE FOR, and Cassie’s dress was something straight out of Say Yes to the Dress!!!

Besides this being such a good looking wedding party, Cassie and David just the sweetest and most loving couple ever! I had only met them a little while before their wedding, but during the ceremony they had me choking up. You could see the love they felt for each other as they recited their vows to one another. Everyone in the ceremony started getting teary eyed – myself included. After such a beautiful ceremony, we headed down the street to the reception hall. We where greeted by a lovely outdoor cocktail hour for some yummy hors d’oeuvres (did i spell that right, lol) and drinks! Here we found so many sparkly details – I was in heaven!

The atmosphere at the wedding was great! Everyone was having such an amazing time eating, dancing, and drinking! They decided to serve a family style dinner, which was so perfect, since it made everyone engage in some awesome conversation.

Everything was absolutely perfect. Thanks for letting me be apart of your big day. Here are my favorite moments for Cassie and David’s Wedding!
