All Because Two People Fell in Love

Let me say first that I have gone overboard with images! Not only in this post, but in the number of images we took at this wedding! I was surprised at the final count!

Because I want COMMENTS! If anyone guesses (within 100 images) of the final number of images taken, I'll send the first person to do it a prize! Doesn't count if you e-mail me your guess. You have to leave me a comment! Guesses end at the end of May, 2008.

The flower girl! Isn't she beautiful! We could have spent the day photographing her!

Andrew & Nathan. Andrew has the most AMAZING eyes! They are a STARTLING BLUE! First time I saw them I literally did a double-take.

I loved the boutonnieres!

After the ceremony, Carolann told me she wanted ART and that she wasn't interested in the traditional formals. We sent everyone else off to the reception and created some moments that Carolann & Doug can remember forever. When we were walking toward the cars to leave for the reception, Carolann said, "This is the most fun I've had all weekend!" I'm so glad that we had that time to play and create and for the two of you to spend together as newly weds!

The reception was held at the Cabana Club on Pensacola Beach. Kay Lee, the wedding coordinator for the Cabana Club, did a wonderful job. Everything looked amazing, from the cake decorated with starfish and shells, to the table decor with goldfish swimming beneath irises, it was beautiful.

The Cabana Club is on the third floor overlooking a marina, so the sunset lit the sky with gorgeous colors.

I love this image! Doesn't Carolann look like a model?


The rest of the images in this post were taken the day after.

First we went to the beach.

Then we played tennis! Carolann & Doug met on the tennis courts and that is where their initial friendship began, so it was only fitting to incorporate that into our day after imagery!

Congratuations Carolann & Doug!

Where in the World?

For those who have been keeping up with my travel schedule lately, this past weekend I was back in Florida. Tune in tomorrow for images from the weekend! Here are a few images to show the part of Florida where I spent the last few days...

I LOVE these chairs! I love the colors and I love how comfortable they are and that the arms give you the perfect place to put a drink as you relax!

Moon over Portofino. These are beautiful condos that we had the opportunity to use as backdrops!

Check back tomorrow to see why we were in Pensacola! e

Barefoot on the Beach

Congratulations Christine & Don! I just got back to town from photographing Christine & Don's wedding, barefoot on the beach, in Fort Lauderdale. Beautiful weather, not too hot or too cold, just a wonderful weekend for a beach wedding.



It was hard to hear the vows because this past weekend Fort Lauderdale also hosted the cigarette boat races just off of the beach. The boats were flying by in the background and helicopters were circling overhead throughout the ceremony! Made all of us think of the papparazzi! There is probably video from the the media coverage for the boat races of the wedding as well! If anyone sees video of the wedding, let me know!

The wedding party.

After the ceremony, friends of the bride and groom spent the afternoon around the pool at the Courtyard Marriott, and continued the party at the Elbo Room across from the beach.

Bobos' on the Beach!

Krista & Matt are married! They had an absolutely beautiful destination wedding in New Smyrna Beach, FL last weekend. The day after the ceremony, Krista & Matt met me and Ron on the beach outside their condo to do some "day after" photos. Here are the first few images for everyone to see! More to come!

Boone Hall Oaks

Earlier this month, I was at the Peter Anderson Arts Festival in Ocean Springs, Mississippi. I have had an image on display that I call "Oak Alley at Boone Hall." This image is an infrared image and is the first image in this post. A lady at Peter Anderson asked me if I had the image in color. I told her I would have to look, that I took this original image as an infrared, but that I had also shot color images at the same location with a different camera the same day, I've just never had a chance to look at them. So here are the color versions that I am FINALLY getting around to processing! My mom will be so happy. So does anyone have a favorite? Comments are welcome! em
