Well… the other day I woke up at the butt-crack of dawn to do pictures. I consider myself a morning person really, so it wasn’t a big deal. Actually I was super excited. This was my first morning shoot and even better, it was on the beach.

The advantages of doing an early morning shoot, in my opinion, definitely outway any excuses not to. Reason numero uno…. it wan’t a million bagillion degrees outside (yet). I also love the flare on the ocean, and mornings have this amazing color in the air :) I am so excited to do more shoots in the morning; so if you are planning on booking with me PLEASE consider it as an option!  Also please enjoy this diptych from the shoot I have just been raving about.

This little preview is of a gorgeous (see picture) couple, that is head over heels in love. They are the type of couple you want as friends and you could tell that’s exactly how their friends felt. I loved this wedding. It was intimate and well put together. It was really a beautiful day on the beautiful New Smyrna Beach.

Ormond Memorial Gardens is seriously one of my favorite places in the area. Its so “enchanted garden”. I just love it. Good thing my clients do to. Shane and Shannon’s ceremony was held at the gardens and it was fantastic. Florida did right with the sunshine and Shannon was stunning (of course Shane cleans up pretty good too).

I am happy to share of few more of these two on their special day. So enjoy, and as always show your love by leaving comments :)

I met up with this super cute couple at the Ponce Inlet Lighthouse. I had been wanting to do something there and finally got a chance. The teaser is a sweet one of them laying on the bricks in front of the lighthouse, you’ll have to come back to see the shots from inside :) So leave some love on this and come back soon for the full post!

This is the large post from Scott and Katelyn’s beautiful wedding at Sugar Mill Gardens. I was amazed by the light here, and as if that wasn’t great enough, check out great they look! I love the photo of Katelyn peeking from behind Scott’s shoulder. She looks smokin. I really enjoyed doing the portraits with them. Thanks for letting me be part of the day you two and congrats again!
