wedding: stephanie & chris - santa rosa beach, fl

Stephanie + Chris traveled to Florida's Gulf Coast for a relaxing wedding weekend. Bentley's On The Bay was the perfect location for this intimate wedding. Here are a few images from the day.

It always a pleasure to work with Renee of Two Fishes Artistry. She is a super talented lady, and our #1 recommendation for wedding day make-up services up & down the coast.

Meet Stephanie.

Meet Chris. This was one of my favorite moments of the day - dad & son have a private moment shortly before the ceremony.

The team at Nouveau always goes above & beyond with the ceremony and reception decor.

wedding: tracy & dale - pensacola beach, fl

Tracy + Dale contacted our studio about photographing their mid-week wedding this past June. Once we figured out WHERE to have the wedding, the rest was easy! This was another perfect opportunity for yours truly to shoot solo.

Everyone was there - the officiant, the couple, the kids, and me! :-) It was amazing to have the kids as part of the wedding - they got to participate and focus on the vows along with mom & dad.

Congratulations Tracy & Dale! Thanks for inviting me to be a part of your wedding experience!

wedding: liz & sam - coral gables, fl

Just this week, I shared my solo-photographer adventure with Shannon + DC here in Pensacola. Two days after Shannon + DC's wedding, I found myself flying solo to Miami to photograph the Coral Gables wedding of Liz + Sam. These two are an awesome story - Liz is from Key Largo, FL and went abroad to London to further her creative career. She met Sam at an art school they were both attending in London... and the rest, as they say, is history.

We started the morning at the historic Biltmore in Coral Gables, Florida.

Meet Liz.

Once the girls had finished primping, we traveled to the Fairchild Tropical Botanic Garden in Coral Gables.

Meet Sam.

Blue skies & palm trees... the perfect setting for a wedding!

Liz + Sam located a cozy pocket within the garden for their intimate ceremony.

The garden theme for the wedding carried through to the reception...

How great is the custom cake topper?!

And I just have to share a picture of the whole group - from the hats to the feathers in the hair - this was one seriously stylish crew.

wedding: shannon & dc - pensacola, florida

Those of you that keep up with our little corner of the world know that I get to strike out "all by myself" every so often to photograph a wedding solo. For me, it's an exciting opportunity to really "peek out" from behind Meg's dominating talent & strut my stuff, so to speak!

Shannon + DC asked me to be their one-&-only at this charming Pensacola wedding. Take a look!

Meet DC - for his guys, he ordered up a round of Jaegermeister...and custom shot glasses to match!

And below that, you'll find Shannon starting off the hair & makeup routine.

I love this shot - the entire team is applying the finishing touches!

How great do these two look?!

The Pensacola Country Club offers a majestic green lawn overlooking the bay - which was the perfect spot for bridal party formals.

After the ceremony, we took advantage of the golden light during cocktail hour.

Some "pretty-pretty".

And of course... what is a golf course wedding without a little golf?

It took several strokes, but Shannon finally made the putt!

Congratulations, Newlyweds!

wedding: margot & patrick - alys beach

Good morning, friends. AND a special 'hello' to Margot, who I know has been anxiously awaiting her blog debut! Well, the wait is finally over - check out all of Margot + Patrick's wedding day goodness...

Want a personalized wire hanger of your own? You can find them on Etsy.com

How precious is this?

Meg was totally impressed by Margot's creativity - she kept telling me on our drive home "oh, and you know what else she made herself? The gloves!" or "Did you know she actually sewed additional layers and stuff onto her dress? AMAZING!" ... I have a very passionate wife!

Check out a little of Margot's handiwork...

Meg would like me to point out that Margot also fashioned this headpiece herself.

Hello Patrick.

This boardwalk makes for a grand entrance. Check out the series...

L-O-V-E Mom + Dad right here.

We've all seen these paper lanterns at weddings by now, but I've never seen them as floor decor! Meg says they look like bubbles.

A decadent dessert table in lieu of a groom's cake. I dig it.

Now, these unique cake toppers are actually vintage salt & pepper shakers that have been used in multiple family weddings over the years. The bride and groom on the left faced the front of the cake, with the exhausted new mom and dad facing the back. A meaningful family heirloom with some humor!
