Orlando Wedding Photographer ~ KC & Cameron……une nuit d’amour!

So how often do you get to spend a night in Paris? Well if you attended the wedding of KC and Cameron at the Country Club of Orlando, you were in for “un plaisir français” (a french treat)! Friends and family were spoiled with an authentic Parisian Flea Market, a fresh flower stand, a cheese, bread and fruit market and a candy & sweets bar that would satisfy the most extreme sweet tooth. Multiple cakes by Confectionary Creations by Heather were displayed throughout the club, beautiful lighting and ambiance provided by Kaleidoscope Event Lighting and luscious, vibrant flowers everywhere by Lana Faulkner of Fairbanks Florist. The bride and groom enjoyed a grand ceremony, a fabulous dinner and jammin’ tunes throughout the evening by Wings of Sound. A truly incomparable, exquisite event envisioned by KC and decorated by Stacy Coon. KC’s hard work and desire to have a unique and detailed wedding was recognized by Orange Appeal Magazine and is one of the Wonderful Weddings featured in the January/February 2011 issues at “these stores – click on me” today! Cameron, KC, thank you so very much for including us on your special day. We wish you both the best and for many years of “le bonheur et aime”!!!

Orlando Wedding Photographer ~ Lana….Dante…..and a little Magic!!!

If you are an Orlando Magic fan, you may recognize the groom from Magic Overtime with Dante & Galante, an entertaining show with a unique look at the NBA and the Orlando Magic, that airs on Sun Sports 0n Monday, Tuesday and Thursday nights every week. If your not an Orlando Magic fan, you should check out the show and see what they are all about. With that being said, we had a blast photographing Lana and Dante on their wedding day in Winter Park, Florida. These two are absolutely smitten with each other and when they look at each other, talk to each other, hold each other, you can tell that they were made to be together. This day included a colorful, fun filled ceremony at College Park Presbyterian Church, and a lively, high energy reception at the Tap Room at historic Dubsdread Golf Course hosted by the amazing M.J. the DJ of Junction 88 Productions. Dante and Lana even had an inflatable Orlando Magic double hoop out back to let their guests try their luck at making some free throws and jump shots. Too much fun! From start to finish Cristy and I found ourselves smiling, laughing and even dancing a little during this wedding. We wish these two the best of luck with their futures and want to say thank you so very much for including us in your fabulous day!

Orlando Wedding Photographer ~ Katie & David Trash the Dress

As photographers we often times have  ideas swirling around in our heads, and every so often, we need to shoot simply to express some of our visions. Katie and David happen to be that couple that will just let us do our thing.  They are our muse, our source of inspiration. These two love getting in front of our cameras, and in return, we love photographing them. We can count on them to spice up the shoot with their intimate stares and their obvious deep connection to each other.  It wasn’t exactly the Florida weather that helped create the hot and steamy images, but a couple totally in love and all about expressing it. Downtown Oviedo will never be the same!!!

Destination Wedding Photographer ~ Maine Wedding Part Deux

So we knew we were in for a fun wedding when the groom zoomed in and landed his float plane on the lake and taxied up to the dock where the wedding was to take place. Talk about a grand entrance! Meet Mary Kate and Charlie, the bride and groom we were fortunate enough to photograph up on Great Moose Lake in Hartland, Maine.  These two put together an intimate, classy wedding with a small group of family and and friends. Mary Kate surprised Charlie by ducking inside and changing into a formal wedding dress, which he had no clue about. So capturing his expression when he saw her come down the stairs in a different dress for the ceremony was quite memorable.  These two wanted to make sure each couple at the wedding had a beautiful portrait, so we spent a good amount of time making sure everybody looked great and felt comfortable before clicking the shutter. An elegant dinner was served afterwords and fun was had by all. We wish these two many years of love and happiness and want to say thank you for including us in their special day.

Destination Wedding Photographer ~ Jenn & Chris’s Maine Wedding

Part of the reason we went to Maine was to photograph Jenn & Chris’s wedding. These two came up from New Jersey to tie the knot at in a beautiful Maine country setting. The days leading up to their wedding date were dreary, rainy and cold. But on their wedding day the clouds parted, the warmth came and the day was absolutely gorgeous.  Both Jenn & Chris got ready, at separate camps, on Flying Pond in Vienna, Maine. They did a first look down by the lake and then we were able to knock out all the family and bridal party formals BEFORE the wedding. Gotta love that since it gave us a whole hour in between to go and do some fun stuff with just the two of them. Some of the old buildings in Mt. Vernon, Maine made for a great back drop, and we found an amazing spot with two adirondack chairs overlooking a breathtaking valley of tree tops. Once we were done, we drove the couple to their actual wedding site at Alden Camps, in Oakland Maine for the ceremony and reception. Jenn had everything planned out and every little detail was amazingly thought through. The wedding location was intimate and fit the theme of the day perfectly. After an emotional ceremony and a delicious dinner, a fun reception with dancing and games commenced in the quaint red barn. Thank you Jenn & Chris for including us in your wedding plans and may the rest of your marriage be as special as the wedding day was!!!

Destination Wedding Photographer ~ Rebecca & Marshall E*Session

While up in Maine at camp this past month, we were fortunate to be able to do an incredible engagement session with Rebecca and Marshall. These two were just smitten with each other and are so excited to get married next June in North Dartmouth, Massachusetts. We captured these images during an evening on Flying Pond, in Vienna, Maine and the next morning up on Blueberry Hill in Mt. Vernon, Maine. We can’t wait to travel up north next year to photograph their wedding!!!

New Smyrna Beach Wedding Photographer ~ Brittany & Chad…..fun, fun & more fun!

New Smyrna Beach, Florida is a beautiful place to have a wedding. Brittany and Chad were happily wed barefoot on the beach with a backdrop of blue skies and ocean water. From the minute we arrived until the sparkler send away in the boat at the end of the evening,  we  had nothing but fun! We want to wish Brittany & Chad a lifetime of happiness and love as these two compliment each other so well. A special thank you to celebrate! LLC for coordinating, New Smyrna Beach Florist for the floral displays, Pyramid Disc Jockeys for the music all night long and the Grille at Riverview for hosting the reception.
