Alley ways, parking garages, motorcycles, tequila shots, inappropriate jokes-- yes to all of it & YES to an amazing Saturday afternoon with these two. Can't wait for the wedding this spring!

Last month I drove to the gulf coast of Florida to meet John & Rainee. Gosh, they are both incredible. We ran around the beach playing in the cloudy sunset light, braved the chilly water as the moon rose, & didn't stop shooting till there was not a drop of light left in the sky. I shed a few quiet tears as I watched their tenderness with one another come alive in front of my camera.
So happy for this special afternoon spent with them. <3
I don't even know where to start with this one today. I'm so in love with these photos that I barely have words. I hope it's no secret that my favorite thing about a photograph is the emotion it portrays. Time and time again it's the sole thing that keeps me motivated in this career.
I'm so thankful that Alan & Shannon offered me a window into their love, giving us the opportunity to make these images together. I definitely cried a tiny bit during the session & multiple times while editing it. Partly because I'm a big baby, but mostly because I am just so moved by intimacy & connection. I believe it's among the most sacred & beautiful elements of human experience.
I hope these images encapsulate a specific time & place of love, discovery & growth in Alan & Shan's relationship -visual reminders of the life they are building together.
These are some of my favorite photos I've taken for so many reasons. Enjoy.
Birmingham is one of my all time favorite cities & every time I have an opportunity to visit, I most certainly jump at the chance. So when Lauren asked me to come shoot her & Zach's engagement session in the city where they met, I could barely contain my excitement!
It was such a fun day shooting in various spots around the city that hold meaning to Lauren & Zach. Below are a few images from the last portion of our day spent in Lauren's amazing loft & running around downtown at dusk.
Zach & Lauren- thanks for bringing me to your city & letting me run around with you all day. Ya'll are amazing, I'm so glad we are now friends & I am so excited for your wedding this October!!!
Today I have for you some images from Lindsey & Jordan's engagement session. These two are so lovely & sweet with one another & I can't wait for their Winter Park wedding this summer!
You know it's gonna be a good one when you meet prospective clients for a consult & you end up talking for over 2 hours about life & ya'lls mutual affinity for the Orlando Magic & Taylor Swift! That's exactly how it went with Jason & Nat. We clicked instantly & I knew we were in for some fun!
Jason & Nat really wanted to do an ADVENTURE SESSION for their engagements which was so so exciting to me. We started the day walking around their neighborhood with their sweet dog, Charlie. Then we found ourselves in an alleyway doing the "Nae Nae" & having a dance party for the camera. Afterwards we headed out to Wekiva Springs to do some hiking & adventuring. We had planned to end the day with a peaceful canoe trip, but to our dismay, the canoe rental closed early that day. So there we were standing on the edge of the river where we had planned to launch our canoes, the sun was quickly setting, & Nat looks over at me & said "you know we brought a change of clothes in case you wanted us to get in the water?"
I didn't even try to hide my excitement. They ran towards the water & we played until the sun went down. The images from this portion are definitely my favorite from the day. Oftentimes the best moments can't be planned. So much good comes from going with the flow & embracing whatever adventure is in front of you at the time. I'm so happy Jason & Nat were down for the moment that day!
Can't wait for their wedding in April!
Alex & Colleen are sweet, kind, & super in love. It was fun to spend a Sunday afternoon with them! When I asked what they loved to do together, her answer was simple, "we love walking around Park Ave with our pup, Lola & just soaking in the loveliness of the day." So that is exactly what we did. Alex, Colleen, Lola, & me- we walked around Winter Park & just soaked in the loveliness of the day. We were also soaked in sweat because it happened to be 100 degrees outside, but that's neither here nor there. ;)
I'm so excited to celebrate & shoot these awesome people's wedding beginning of next year!
