Michael & Carlin // Winter Park Mead Garden Wedding

During our consultation, we sat on the back patio of a favorite local bar sharing happy hour IPA's. During the engagement shoot, we took a break for tequila shots & finished the night laughing over burgers. At every step of the way, our hangs lasted longer than the photos & pretty soon Michael & Carlin felt more like friends than clients. 

I really couldn't ask for more amazing people to be around - they are intentional, kind, lovers of people & all around super quality humans. 

Love ya'll forever. <3

Daniel & Kaylee // A Rainy Rooftop Wedding

A wedding that all my dreams are made of- moody getting ready light, parking garages, rooftops, wedding parties that dance to Chance the Rapper during portraits, freaking cute as heck humans, oh and RAINNNN. 

Words fall sort on this one, as they so often do. But all I can say is I will never forget the moment the sky unleashed as Kaylee began her walk down the aisle. Without hesitation, she made her way to Daniel, both of them beaming from ear to ear. Rain soaked & without a care in the world, they promised each other forever. I felt honored to bear witness to the covenant of people who truly get it- that a wedding day isn't really about a wedding at all.

I'm so happy I get to live life with you, Cam & Kels. <3

Winston & Adrienne // Atlantic Center for the Arts Intimate Wedding

I sure love me some intimate weddings - Winston & Adrienne's was no exception. It was such a relaxed day & it truly felt like Adrienne & Winston were slowly soaking in each drop. They leisurely got ready with the help of their parents, then braved the rain for some portraits. The literal moment we stepped outside for the first look, the skies unleashed. With a little bit a sweet talking, we were able to convince an art gallery manager to open after hours so we could duck inside while it monsooned. This "Plan B" turned out to be the best thing we could have asked for- portraits in an art gallery are pretty much a giant YES for me. 

My favorite moment of the day (& probably top five for weddings this year) was the holy space that came immediately after Adrienne & Winston were pronounced husband & wife. They both exited the chapel, tears streaming down their face & spent the next few minutes in this sacred atmosphere of emotion. I felt so honored to bear witness & I've choked up every single time I scroll through that portion of the images. 

It truly was a special day with two incredibly tender, kind, warm & intentional people.

Winston & Adrienne, you are lovely.

Jamie & Suz // Winter Park Racquet Club / Rollins Chapel Wedding

Jamie & Suz, man what is there even to say? Sometimes you just get lucky & I mean REALLY lucky.  From the moment I met them in their Brooklyn walkup, we clicked. Throughout the whole process, Suz texted me photos of her dress, her accessories and highlights from her Bachelorette weekend. She even sent me a care package when I moved into my new house- this girl is beyond thoughtful. By the time the wedding came, I felt like I was there to watch my friend get married rather than be a random vendor. 

This is what I hope for with all my couples & I'm so blessed that it's usually the case, but Jamie & Suz just went above & beyond making me feel at home. 

Their wedding was amazing & one HECK of a party. Anytime the night ends in half the wedding guests jumping into a pool is a MAJOR win in my book. It couldn't get better than this. 

Jamie & Suz- ya'll are warm, welcoming, alive & have the most contagious excitement for life. Knowing ya'll has been a blast & I can't wait for many more hang times to come! 

Ps. Shout out to Rachel Burkhart, second shooter extraordinaire!

Adam & Olivia // Bramble Tree Estate Winter Wedding

Adam & Olivia could truly not be any sweeter. They approach each other with such a gentle tenderness that I so admire. The whole day they both seemed so peaceful & just genuinely grateful to be entering into life together. 

We took their portraits as the dusk rolled in. The serenity of the field perfectly matched the way they were with one another. It was such a beautiful day all around. 

Hope you enjoy their sweetness....

Daniel & Kaylee // New York City Rooftop Proposal

When Daniel first came to me with the idea of proposing to Kaylee in New York & bringing me along to document, I was ecstatic! I LOVE proposals & I love love love NYC, so I mean what could be better?!

After some serious brainstorming & research, Daniel found the most perfect location & we devised a plan to make this surprise epic. Last Monday, before the sun came up, we both hopped on a plane & secretly made our way to Brooklyn where Kaylee was visiting for a work trip.

The proposal went down on the patio of Westlight Bar in the William Vale Hotel. To say the views were unreal is an understatement- I mean, it's just insane. It was all perfect. Daniel laid out a special blanket that Kaylee had given him as a gift years before & one they frequently use for picnics. The weather was biting cold, but the sun was shining bright. The entire Manhattan skyline was sprawled out behind us. I crouched on the ground behind a wall & Daniel swayed excitedly/nervously back & forth as we waited for Kaylee to arrive for "drinks with friends".

Her face of shock when she first saw him was priceless. She stood frozen with her hands on her face & Daniel had to come lead her to the blanket where he would propose. And just like that, these two high school sweethearts get to be together forever! EEEEK!
