Five days before Christmas, Angela and Eric brought their two families together (from DC, California and beyond) to celebrate their wedding overlooking the city on The White Room rooftop. It was an unbelievably gorgeous day—the sun heating up the early afternoon and then the clouds rolled in at the perfect time for the ceremony so no one was squinting on the rooftop.
Read MoreToday marked a day in history but also a day in my life that I will not forget—seeing couples in Jacksonville, Florida who have loved each other, lived together and spent nearly a decade together finally able to say "I do!"
Read MoreI look back at 2014 with a surreal sense of growth. Only one year ago, I was walking across the stage receiving two degrees from Flagler College with two years of experience as a photographer and photojournalist. After spending two months abroad in Southeast Asia, I came home with a lot of work ahead of me. It was my first year working as a full-time photographer— no more side jobs keeping me afloat— and I have to admit I was afraid.
Read MoreTannelle contacted me in late September asking if I was available for her November wedding. At that time she didn't even have her venue chosen yet. I was surprised until she told me her and fiancé Eric (now husband) had decided to change their plans and instead of having a big wedding a year from now, they wanted a small gathering in St. Augustine to celebrate with their family and closest friends. Even better—they quit their jobs and were heading off to explore Hawaii and New Zealand, without an exact date of return. I knew we were a great fit from the moment we had that conversation.

Denny and Patty are getting married this spring and Darla (their four-year-old) is so excited for what she calls the "weging". Also: Denny won for best beard this Movember and most awesome prop ever brought to a family shoot: a snare drum.
Read MoreHere is a sneak peak of the family/engagement session I shot a couple weeks ago with Brooke, Ryan, Maddie & Hayden. It ended up being warmer than we expected and we watched an awesome sunset fall behind the trees at the Mission Grounds. I cannot wait to shoot Brooke and Ryan's White Room wedding next June!
Read MoreThis may be one of the hardest blog posts I have ever put together only because ALL of the photos from Allee & Jordan's wedding are beautiful and it was extremely difficult to pick only a few to share.
Read MoreNow that October is over and I have a chance to catch my breath (ahhhhh), it's time to reflect on some shoots I have had in the last month. Here's an awesome engagement/family session from a couple of weeks ago.

Ali and Mike planned it perfectly. To be married on October 6, peak weekend of fall foliage in Burlington, Vermont. Their ceremony was to be held on the rooftop of the Sunset Ballroom and photos at a local vineyard nearby. I was BEYOND excited for the warm orange sunset I had in mind and the leaves falling lightly around them during their couples portraits.
