As I was wrapping up our 2010 flashback posts, I have to admit that I kinda patted myself on the back for catching the blog up on all of our way-old work. (I know two or three years isn't way-old, but in terms of current events - it's ANCIENT.) So, while I was basking in my accomplishment and mentally preparing to begin sharing our 2012 season - a sense of panic crept in...
Was I missing something? I'd already blogged all of 2011, right? I mean, of course I had - but man, I didn't want to miss anyone and create hurt feelings. I sat down with our 2011 calendar ready to set my mind at ease. You know what's coming, of course. Yup - I managed to post exactly ZERO images from our 2011 season. How is that even possible?! Blame it on my nine month blog hiatus - I sure do... I did manage to link to three blog features in 2011 - those shoots might ring a (tiny) bell. Other than those teasers, I've got a whole ton of never-before-seen goodness. So, there you have it. Welcome back, 2011. It's almost like we never left you.
Monday / January 17, 2011 = Christin + Thad Engagement Session -- Pensacola, Ft. Pickens |







| Fun Factoid: I went to high school with Christin and her sweet sister Leanne - whose wedding we photographed in 2009. We LOVED working with their sweet family twice! |

|




December 2010 was a busy month for the Baisdens - full of travel, personal project development, and cool seasonal shoots - like Ballet Pensacola's annual production of The Nutcracker. We've been photographing the ballet's productions for many years now - I have a lovely little portfolio of favorites built up that I want to share with y'all as soon as we get permission. As many productions utilize community talent as well as professional dancers, we want to be sensitive and get the green light on each image - so that we aren't stepping of any parental toes :)
So, today we're taking a peek at a sweet Orlando wedding that wrapped up or 2010 season. Enjoy!
Sunday / December 19, 2010 = Nathania + Jose Wedding – Orlando |



| Bubbles down the aisle = Smarty Pants! |


| A groom that serenades his bride as she walks down the aisle = SWOON! |








| I think this cake is just precious! |






One more smarty pants award to hand out. I know everyone feels different about games at showers, parties, and especially weddings - but this cuteness got my stamp of approval. First, it passed the golden rule of 'Thou Shall Not Embarrass Thy Guests" (made up, yes, but should totally be a thing) as this 'game' didn't involve the guests. And the second test of 'Must Be Genuinely Entertaining to the Vast Majority of Guests" - which it also was. And the third and final game rule "If Most Everyone Has Seen It Before, Thou Must Forgo It." SIDENOTE: I'm totally thinking I need to make a list of wedding commandments - I've got a bajiliion ;)
Okay, so the bride is escorted out of the room by her Maid of Honor while the Best Man places a few paperclips on the groom - here you see one going in his sock. *sneaky* |


| Then, after all of the paperclips have been placed, the bride (now blindfolded) is escorted back into the room. She is tasked with collecting all of the paperclips (without any instruction from the groom) as the crowd instructed 'colder' or 'warmer' Lots of laughs and a few innocent gropes ensued. |

As a continuation of our flashback series, here's a peek at what we were up to in November 2010. It was a busy month filled with travel, lovely people, and picturesque settings. November 2010 was so busy, in fact, that this recap will be broken into segments again - too many images for just one post! Look for the rest of our monthly recap throughout the week.
Monday / November 1, 2010 = Jasmine's Bridal Session -- New Orleans, LA -- Longvue House |


| You might recognize our lovely bride Jasmine from her NOLA engagement session seen here. We'll be sharing her beautiful New Orleans wedding on the blog when we start our 2011 flashback series - stay tuned! |


Friday / November 5, 2010 = Michele + Michale Wedding – Orlando, Florida -- Reunion Resort
We had the pleasure of visiting Michele & Michale in Tampa, FL for their engagement session, featured here, and had been looking forward to their wedding day ever since. This was our second time getting to work at the beautiful Reunion Resort in Central Florida and we were excited to be back at such a stunning property. Regular readers might recall the wedding of Brittany & Adam - also at Reunion - seen here. It's such a large facility, that we managed to photograph two weddings at the same resort with ceremonies and receptions in completely different spaces. One resort, two ways :) |



| These flower girls were so cute - little divas in front of the camera, too! |








| Emotional dads get me every time... I just adore father-daughter dances. |


| Check back again SOON for the stunning Rosemary Beach wedding of Megan & Tom - up next - plus lots more! |
