As the sun was rising over the beautiful Gulf of Mexico, Kelly didn’t have to worry about getting any oil at all on her wedding dress. She was ready to trash her dress, but more along the lines of frolicking in the water with her sweet loving husband Brian. We started out utilizing the beautiful sunrise on the jetties. The water was calm and a gentle sea breeze allowed her dress to flow adding drama to her images. Soon the anticipation got to all of us, it was getting warm and it was time to create some wet wedding attire art! I have always seen folks shooting their trash the dress sessions either above or under the water. I wanted to be the first to shoot both views at the same time. And you know…I loved it! I hope you do as well! Enjoy!

The light breeze was wonderful!




Totally my favorite pic!

When Stevie and Keith came to see me about photographing their wedding they had some very definite ideas about their engagement session. Both of them are vintage car enthusiasts and both of them had seen a vintage filling station somewhere on Hwy. 331. That is where they wanted their engagement session. Well, that didn’t exactly make it easy. I had to research where the filling station was and then I called a local photographer to see if he knew the owner. Thank goodness he did! I called the owner who was so excited they had chosen his either father or grandfather’s station for their shoot, that he had it all cleaned up and ready to go for us when we got there! It was even more amazing than I had expected! We shot some totally awesome images there and then went on to explore the rest of downtown Florala. Of course it was hard not to notice the police car that passed by our locations I would say about every five minutes. But then again, the entire town was closed because it was Sunday, so I guess we looked pretty menacing with our photo lights and Florida tags taking over their downtown area. You can’t really blame them for being protective. Anyway, the shoot went great! Stevie and Keith did awesome…now it’s time to enjoy their images!

This is just so sweet!

Another one of my faves!

Really, tell me with a straight face you could resist photographing this image!

Sexy sky!

Checkin' out the bling!

Alison and Eric had a fun wedding packed with family and friends in a little neighborhood off of the famous 30A in Santa Rosa Beach. It is the type of quiet beach neighborhood that has attracted celebrities like Sheryl Crow to own homes there.  Eric’s mom did all of the table decorating. She was simply amazing!! Like really, she could do this as a profession! All of the decorations were based on things Alison loved in wedding magazines and Eric’s sister did the best scrapbook style ornament tree ever! It must have taken her weeks! It was beautiful! The cupcake tiers were also made  by family friends. It was truly a team wedding! Even the dog participated for a moment as the co-flower girl! All in all everything was beautiful and worked out so well. Alison wrote me a few days after the wedding telling me that into the night after we had left, the whole wedding party ended up in the pool!!

The dish was set in a bed of live lemon grass. Very cool!


Alison and Eric were so easy to work with and so much fun! Since they were a destination wedding, we did their engagement session at the most astounding Rosemary Beach only two days before their wedding. Everything worked out great! We had beautiful light, fun kids who let us use their bicycle and even a delightful resident who allowed us to use his roof top patio to  photograph. Everything was perfect! Enjoy their fun engagement session and keep an eye on the blog, their wedding will be up here this week!

I love this fountain!

I managed to get this out in time for their wedding cards!

A kiss is just a kiss....unless it's on your wedding day then it's the best in the world.
