A lovely day in the home of the sweetest little family. Amanda & I talked Taylor Swift. Dustin kept offering me Cheez-its & other snacks.
Basically we are all soul mates.
I will also NEVER get over how dang cute Ezra is & HIS HAIR, oh man, his hair. <3
Elliot & Melissa's wedding day was one for the books. The location was to die for- an actual dream come true for my minimalistic, warehousey loft loving heart. And the people, oh my, the people. From the moment Melissa & I first spoke on the phone during our consult, we instantly connected. Meeting her on the wedding day was no different- she ran up to me, giant smile on her face & gave me the sweetest hug. It was as if we'd been friends for years.
Melissa's energy & kindness was infectious. Her friends were amazing & it hardly felt like work getting to spend the day with them. Elliot & Melissa wed a few days before they would celebrate their 12th anniversary together. High school sweethearts, through & through- Melissa asked Elliot to homecoming & the love never stopped.
It was a honor to stand alongside such joyful & kind couple as they entered into a new level of life together. Thank you so much for having me Elliot & Melissa. I love these images & I hope they live long in your hearts as well.
I'm gonna keep this one short & sweet & let the images speak for themselves. Jordan & Lindsey married on a hot summers day in Winter Park, Florida. They chose the Alfond Inn, one of my favorite hotels in town, as their backdrop & it certainly didn't disappoint. The wedding party was goofy, fun, & kept us laughing all day. Jordan & Lindsey celebrated into the night with family & friends & it was just a beautiful day all around!
Lindsey has some of the prettiest hair I've ever seen, holy cow. Oh & a groom in a tux is always an A+ in my book! Congrats you two, it was a blast being a part of your day!
ps. Shout out to second shooter extraordinaire, Jeannie Albers.
My oh my, this family is the ultimate. Becca & I both grew up in Orlando & "knew of" each other through overlapping friend circles, but it wasn't until a few years ago when we ran into each other at a concert that we became actual friends. She is a super talented photographer so we quickly bonded over our jobs, our shared loved for getting as many Starbucks points as possible, & just our overall enjoyment of being ridiculous.
Becca & her husband, Bo, bought their first home together just in time for the arrival of their baby girl, Willa. The house is amazing & beautiful- filled with minimalistic decor & the yummiest light. It only made sense that we would shoot at home, in the incredible space where they are becoming a family.
Bo & Becca are so dang attractive & fun it almost hurts. Willa is a little treasure. And this day spent shooting with them was a downright blast for me. I love this family.
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.
