Heather and Jeremy's Wedding - Dunnellon FL

2011-06-09T17:24:00.002-04:00

Heather and Jeremy got married about a month or so ago. They had a very elegant wedding in the backyard of Heather's parent's house in Dunnellon. This was one of the nicest backyard weddings we have had the opportunity to photograph. With typical backyard weddings, decorations are scaled down and it is a more relaxed atmosphere. Not this wedding. They went all out to provide their guests with a first class affair.

Allyssa and Steven's Wedding - Homosassa Wildlife Park

2011-04-08T20:45:00.003-04:00

Wow.. what a CRAZY month or so its been since we last blogged. A lot has been going on lately, and unfortunately we have neglected to update the blog in the process. Our sincerest apologies for those who follow the blog and have missed seeing some of our recent work. Things have slowed down a bit, so we will resume our regular posting.

Up first is a recent wedding we did in March at the Homosassa Springs Wildlife Park. Wow.. what a place. If you are ever looking for an awesome place to have an outdoor wedding, take a look there. It doesnt sound like much when you hear "Wildlife Park" in the description, but as wedding photographers, we feel that the place rocked.

Allyssa and Steven had their wedding there recently and they did not disappoint. The ceremony was full of emotion and you could see how much they cared for each other and what their wedding day meant to them. The reception rocked as well and they also utilized our Photo booth for their reception.

Without further ado, here are a few images from the day. Enjoy!!

Jenna and Phil's Engagement Session - Gainesville Wedding Photographer

2011-02-23T14:03:00.003-05:00

We photographed Jenna and Phil for their engagement session back in October. We are just now getting to the post for the blog. The did the session on the UF Campus at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium. Here are a few from the session.

Yukun and Ross - Gainesville Wedding Photographer

2011-02-04T16:19:00.002-05:00

We are trying to catch up on blogging our recent weddings and portrait sessions. The holidays have thrown us a little behind on blogging. Bear with us as we get caught up.

Yukun and Ross got married a couple of months ago in Gainesville. It was a fairly small wedding ceremony that included their closest friends and family. The weather was perfect. Here are a few from their wedding. Enjoy

Mike's Portrait Session - Central Florida Portraits

2011-01-21T17:57:00.005-05:00

Not too long ago, we did a session for a local up and coming musician, Mike Evangelista. This is his 2nd session with us and we were honored that he wanted us to do some promo shots for an upcoming concert. We also put together a few posters for him that were a HUGE hit with his fans. Before long we will all see him on tv and hear him on the radio. Give him a shout on his Facebook page and take a moment to listen to some of his music.

Meredith and Jameel - Gainesville, FL

2010-11-22T17:01:00.004-05:00

Meredith and Jameel got married over the summer in Gainesville. The day started out beautiful, but it started to rain shortly before the ceremony began. The rain made us alter a few plans that we had for the pictures, but it went away in time to do a few outdoor shots at Gainesville Country Club. Here are a few from the day.

Mary and Daniel - Engagement Session - Crystal River, FL

2010-11-15T14:59:00.003-05:00

I know.. I know.. We have not updated the blog in FOREVER.. Fortunately it is because we have been extremely busy with weddings and school shoots that we have barely had time to breathe... Well now that it is fall and the wedding season is dying down a bit, we have time to post everything that we have been up to in the last couple of months.

First up is Mary and Daniel. You will see their wedding images in a couple of weeks, but for now we have their engagement pictures. We did the engagement session in Crystal River and had a pretty good day, considering the fact that there was a triathlon taking place during the session. The place was SWARMING with bikes and runners. It was crazy. But we avoided the chaos and got some awesome images.

Here are a few.

Blog Update

2010-11-04T11:19:00.003-04:00

If you frequent this blog, you will notice that we have not had any new posts in the last couple of weeks. Things have been CRAZY here this fall and we simply have not had time to do the proper posting. Now that things have settled down a bit, we will be posting a ton to get the blog caught up. The first post will be later this afternoon.

Kaycie and Jamie's Wedding - The Thomas Center - Gainesville Wedding Photographers

2010-08-07T17:13:00.003-04:00

Kaycie and Jamie got married a few weeks ago at the Thomas Center in Gainesville. It was the first time that we have seen a ceremony inside the Thomas Center. They are typically outside, near the fountain. Its a good thing that it was inside because it rained just about the whole time. We were able to get away for a bit during the reception for some pictures outside. It did end up raining again, but it allowed for some pretty cool images. Enjoy!!

Heidi and Mike's Engagement Session - Crystal River Wedding Photographer

2010-07-24T13:15:00.003-04:00

Wow.. what a summer it has been. We have just about finished shooting the seniors for Lecanto High School, so we have a little more free time to work on the blog and updating the websites.

Every couple of days, we will be back here posting a few sessions that we have been working on lately.

Up first is Heidi and Mike's engagement session we did in Crystal River. Enjoy!!

Chelsea's Senior Portraits - Citrus County Photography

2010-06-03T15:57:00.003-04:00

Wow... Its been awhile since this Blog has been updated. We apologize for the delay in the updates. Things have been incredibly busy here the last few weeks that we have not had much down time to update the websites and blog. We will be updating a couple times a week through the summer.

Up first is a senior portrait session we did for Chelsea. As with all our senior portrait sessions, we want you to be yourself. Chelsea brought a few different outfits to change into throughout the shoot. She was really easy to work with and we enjoyed our session with her. Here are a few images from the day.

Paige and Nate - Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club - Gainesville Wedding Photographers

2010-04-26T16:01:00.005-04:00

On Saturday, we were fortunate enough to shoot Paige and Nate's wedding at Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club in Gainesville.. Man was it a treat. First of all, the coordinator (Allison) that works at the Haile Plantation is wonderful. This was one of the few weddings that stuck to the scheduled timeline. In fact, it was so well organized that I do not believe we were a minute late doing anything.

It helps to have clients such as Paige and Nate that are a blast to work with. When we saw the shoes that Paige decided to wear for the wedding, we knew it was going to be an awesome day. Nate, not to be outdone by his wife-to-be, wore some of the coolest socks ever!!.

To top it off, the car that they drove off in was a re-done Studabaker.. with no handles I might add.. It was a beautiful day and an awesome wedding.. Couldn't ask for more!!

Kristin and Tim - Tuscany on the Meadows - Central Florida Wedding Photographer

2010-04-21T16:40:00.003-04:00

We have been a little lazy lately on the blogging. In the next few days, we will be posting quite a few sessions that we have not yet blogged, so come back and check often :)

First, we have Kristin and Tim's wedding that took place at the Tuscany on the Meadows in Citrus Hills.. The wedding went well and featured some beautiful settings for the reception. We like to photograph here as we can get some pretty dramatic images at night as you can see below.

Nicole and Shawn's Engagement Session - Leu Gardens - Orlando Photographer

2010-03-29T16:39:00.002-04:00

We met Nicole and Shawn at Leu Gardens a few weeks ago for their engagement session. We needed to do the session a little earlier than we prefer since Leu Gardens closes at 5, but it worked out very well. After an hour or so walking around the gardens, we headed to Lake Eola to finish up the session. All in all, it was an awesome session and we had a blast photographing Nicole and Shawn.

Here are a few favorites from their session.

Amber and Stephen's Wedding - Sky Terrace - Miami

2010-03-11T13:53:00.003-05:00

Stephen and Amber got married Valentines weekend at the Sky Terrace in Miami. This place was amazing. They went all out when decorating for the wedding. It is a very unique opportunity to photograph a wedding amongst the skyscrapers in downtown Miami. It helps when you have an awesome couple to photograph :) The only complaint we had, was someone forgot to turn the heat on outside. Come on now, its January in south Florida... Its not supposed to be 40 degrees :)

Bride's Choice Award

2010-02-26T15:18:00.002-05:00

We just got informed that we were chosen for the Bride's Choice Award by weddingwire.com for our work in 2009. Pretty cool huh?? We think so :)

Charlene and Michael - Engagement Session - Central Florida Wedding Photographers

2010-02-26T13:35:00.003-05:00

Here are a few images from Charlene and Michael's Engagement session we did a few weeks ago. They decided they wanted to venture into Inverness and do some shots at a local park. We try to mix things up a little when we visit the same locations for several sessions. This way, no one has exactly the same poses and the images are more personal to them.

In this session, we decided to experiment a little bit with a few different things. What resulted are some pretty awesome shots.. particularly the first one. It is probably one our of all time favorite images.

Kristin and Tim - Engagement Session - Central Florida Photographer

2010-02-20T12:57:00.003-05:00

A few weeks ago we did Kristin and Tim's Engagement session in Inverness. It was a pretty nice day, a little windy, but we can't complain too much :)

The session went well. We did it at a local park that is becoming a popular location request for us. We love shooting in this park as it provides several different scenes that other places in Citrus County do not. Here is a little peak at the session. Can't wait to shoot their wedding in April!!!

Brittany and Sam - Engagement Session - Crystal River

2010-02-02T16:45:00.006-05:00

Ok.. We are finally starting to catch up on blogging our recent work. We are about 2 1/2 weeks behind at the moment. More to come this week :)

Brittany and Sam did their engagement session with us back in January. They had the worst luck when it came to actually doing their session. Originally they planned it for the week before in Cedar Key, but it was freezing that weekend, so they decided to postpone it. We rescheduled the session for the following Saturday, but lo and behold... it was raining. They were a little frustrated at this point since they drove about 6 hours to get there and didn't want to leave without doing the session, so we decided to do it at 10 the following day in Crystal River.. not exactly the best time to do pictures, but you gotta do what you gotta do :)

The weather on Sunday was just about perfect (a little windy) and the session was a blast. Thanks guys for your patience in getting the session done. Can't wait for the wedding in September!!

Alison and Jared's Wedding- Thomas Center - Gainesville Wedding Photographer

2010-01-30T17:51:00.003-05:00

Alison and Jared picked the perfect day to get married at the Thomas Center in Gainesville. If they had gotten married the weekend before... the temperature would have been in the mid 30's, which is a little cold for an outdoor wedding. However, on this day, it was in the mid 60's with overcast skies, which is perfect light for photographers :)

Here are a few from their wedding day.

Shay and Chris - Engagement Session - UF - Gainesville Wedding Photographer

2010-01-23T11:44:00.003-05:00

Anyone remember all the talk about Global Warming?? I surely remember it and a few weeks ago, I was wondering if it was really a problem. It snowed at our house and studio and was hanging in the mid-30s for about a week and a half. Shay and Chris decided to brave the cold and do their engagement session anyway. They happened to pick the warmest day of the week, so it was only 45 degrees instead of the 30s we had been having. So we headed up to UF to spend a little time with them and do their engagement session. It was a little bit on the cold side, but the images are awesome!!! Besides, they are getting married in December, so they better get used to the cold :)

Alison and Jared Engagement Session - UF Campus - Gainesville Wedding Photographers

2010-01-07T16:11:00.003-05:00

Hopefully everyone had a great Christmas and a Happy New Year!!. We took a short vacation the week between the two holidays and we are just now getting back to the daily grind. We will be updating this blog throughout the week with some of our recent work.

Up first is an engagement session we did for Alison and Jared. They will be getting married at the Thomas Center in a few weeks. We did the session around the UF campus in December, so it was a little chilly and a little overcast. No worries though, as Alison and Jared were troopers. Thanks guys for an awesome session and we look forward to shooting the wedding a couple of weeks.

Amber and Stephen Engagement - Kanapaha Botanical Gardens - Gainesville Wedding Photographers

2009-12-22T16:15:00.003-05:00

We recently photographed Amber and Stephen for their engagement session. The session took place at the Kanapaha Botanical Gardens in Gainesville. We have been there before and the second time around doesn't disappoint. The place is amazing... It also helps to have amazing clients that are easy to work with. We look forward to photographing their wedding in February, but until then, here are a few from the session.

Karli and Dusty - UF - Gainesville Wedding Photographer

2009-11-30T16:04:00.004-05:00

We recently shot an engagement session for Karli and Dusty at the UF Campus. This is one of our favorite sessions of the year. Like many of our sessions that take place at Ben Hill Griffin Stadium and the UF Campus, we started at the stadium and just wandered around stopping periodically. We typically do not have a set plan on what we are going to do.. We just do it!! That means we generally walk around and as we see things we stop, shoot it and move on. That was no different with the session.

You will see that they have props with them as well. We like to tell people to be themselves. This helps ensure that the pictures are about them and not just a spot that we shoot all the time. Karli and Dusty decided they wanted to bring a few things with them for the session. It was actually quite funny watching Dusty carry around balloons and someone even stopped to ask if he just proposed. But they did make for some awesome photographs.

Take a look and let us know what you think.

Kim and Chris - Steinhatchee Landing Resort - Gainesville Wedding Photographers

2009-11-12T13:31:00.004-05:00

Kim and Chris got married over the weekend at the Steinhatchee Landing Resort. This place was awesome. It is made up for several old Victorian style houses and an old chapel, where the wedding took place. There were several other things that helped make our job easy. :) It helps to have a couple who didn't mind having their pictures taken and were up to pretty much everything that we suggested.

We have a lot of things to post in the coming days, so stay tuned and check back often

Autumn and Chuck - Citrus Hills - Central Florida Wedding Photographer

2009-11-09T15:25:00.004-05:00

Autumn and Chuck got married a few weeks ago at Citrus Hills. They had a small, intimate ceremony with close friends and family in attendance. We were a little concerned with the weather before the wedding, since it looked like it was going to rain, but it held off and we were able to do some cool shots outside. Here are a few of our favorites

Carey and Aaron - Crystal River - Central Florida Wedding Photographer

2009-10-26T15:14:00.002-04:00

We recently photographed Carey and Aaron's wedding in Crystal River. The wedding was held in the back yard of some friends of the bride's mother. It was a very simple, yet elegant ceremony. Back yard weddings are typically more relaxed and consist of some very close friends. This was no exception. We got to do some awesome shots as the sun was going down, creating some beautiful colors in the sky. It was awesome!!

Jennifer and Aaron's Wedding - Bay Laurel, Micanopy - Gainesville Wedding Photographers

2009-10-13T11:16:00.002-04:00

Yes... We are a little behind on the blogging, but that just means that we have a lot to show off in the coming days. :) Jennifer and Aaron got married on October 3rd at Bay Laurel in Micanopy. The wedding was beautiful, as was the wedding venue. Bay Laurel is a photographer's dream. There are several places to take awesome shots. It was amazing. The only slight downside was that it was a little hot, but hey its Florida... what do you expect.

The wedding ran very smoothly, thanks to Angel from Avie. It is something that is overlooked at many weddings, but having a wedding planner can make your planning so much easier. They can also make your wedding day less stressful as they resolve any problems that may arise. If you are looking for a wedding planner, she is an awesome choice. You will not be disappointed!!

Here are a few of the images from the day!! Enjoy!!

Josh Senior Pictures - Inverness FL - Central Florida Photographer

2009-09-21T16:51:00.004-04:00

We had the privilege of photographing Josh's Senior Portraits last week. We shot them at one of our favorites spots in Inverness. This location works great for senior portraits as there are a lot of places to go. There are also lots of natural posing aides (trees, fences, etc) that help make our clients look relaxed.

Josh was very easy to work with and didnt complain about the 100+ degree heat we encountered. As with all of our sessions, we just walked around and stopped here and there for some shots and then moved on. We never really have a set plan when we do portraits, we just kinda go with the flow. It helps that we usually have awesome clients that are gun-ho about some of our craziness. :)

Samantha and Robert -- The Beach House -- Anna Maria Island

2009-09-10T10:56:00.005-04:00

We shot Samantha and Robert's wedding that took place on Saturday at The Beach House in Bradenton (Anna Maria Island). It was a beautiful ceremony that ended just before sunset. We were a little worried about the weather as it was supposed to rain all weekend, but the weather was awesome. We got blessed with a cool sunset as well. Below are a few images from the wedding. Enjoy!!!

Shannon and Joel -- Crystal River -- Central Florida Wedding Photographer

2009-09-03T14:29:00.003-04:00

Shannon and Joel got married last Friday evening at the beach in Crystal River. It was a very simple ceremony with only close friends and family attending. We were able to get some awesome shots of them after the ceremony, even though we had a mob of mosquitoes following us around. Craziness!!!

Enjoy the images.

Katie and Beau's Wedding Video

2009-08-28T12:00:00.002-04:00

Here is the video we did from Katie and Beau's wedding at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina last month. Yes, we know it isnt crystal clear online, but that is due to the compression that is required for such a large file size. The DVDs look awesome!!! Enjoy.

The Sims family -- Crystal River

2009-08-26T16:49:00.003-04:00

The Sims family recently came to the studio to have some portraits done. Here are a few from the session.

If you are interested in having a family session, please contact us for details

Amy and Dustin - Asbury United Methodist Church - Altamonte Springs

2009-08-12T17:19:00.003-04:00

We photographed Amy and Dustin's wedding over the weekend. It was a blast. We have known Amy and her family for about 15 years or so, so that made it super easy to work with them. The ceremony was short but very nicely done. A lot of times when the ceremonies are short, they are rushed. This gave us plenty of time to get some awesome shots, as you can see below. This was one of the few weddings that actually started on time and followed the time schedule without any delays. It was raining for a short bit of time, which didn't allow us a chance to do some outdoor portraits by the lake, but we used what we had available to get some good stuff. Take a look!!

Thanks guys for allowing us to be part of your special day!!

I loved the stained glass, so I figured a silhouette shot would look awesome.

These next few are some of our favorite individual shots we have taken. You can just see how happy they are. Its awesome!!

This is one of our favorites. We figured the stained glass was too good for just one shot, so we did this one.

Dustin is a firefighter, so his entire shift joined him in celebrating his wedding. They even brought the truck along.

We have always been looking for a time that this would work, but most times its not possible due to the lighting. But this particular setting had a large window behind them that worked perfect.

We like to take ring shots using items from their reception decorations to make it a little more personal. In this particular case, we used a Hersheys Kiss that they had at the candy bar for the guests

Michael Senior Portraits - Lecanto, FL

2009-08-04T17:15:00.005-04:00

Michael recently did his senior portrait session with us on a local farm. Its amazing how much property that is out there that hasn't been touched by commercial businesses. This farm had thousands of acres as well as several old buildings and a few old rusted cars. It was a photographers dream location. This particular place worked really well with the type of shoot he was looking for. He wanted something country and he got it.. thousands of acres of it :) Another cool thing is that he will be the opening act in an upcoming concert at Rock Crusher Canyon. You should stop by and check him out.

Here are a few of the images. The processing is a little bit edgier than we typically take an image, but it works well with the theme.

Amy and Dustin - Cranes Roost - Altamonte Springs

2009-08-04T12:18:00.004-04:00

We photographed an engagement session for Amy and Dustin a few weeks ago and are just now putting it up on the blog... A little slow I know.. :(

The session took place at Cranes Roost in Altamonte Springs. Rain delayed the start of the session by an hour or so, but we were able to get it in without getting too wet. We will be photographing their wedding this weekend, so check back next week for some images.. Until then, enjoy the engagement pictures

Kristen and Jared - Kanapaha Presbyterian Church - Gainesville, FL

2009-08-03T17:40:00.002-04:00

Saturday we had the privilege of photographing Kristen and Jared's wedding at the Kanapaha Presbyterian Church in Gainesville. You might recognize them from their engagement session that we posted a few weeks ago. Everything went just about perfect... except that we locked all 3 sets of our keys in the car *Note to self.. keep an extra key in the bag*. That meant we were not able to use the gear that we typically do (light stands, tripod, extra lenses) and had to do with what we had on us. This is one reason we both carry extra stuff in our camera bags, so if something like this happens, we can go on and do our job like nothing happened. None of the guests were aware of our problem and we were able to get some awesome shots. That is one benefit to not having your normal routine.. you get to do different things that you typically wouldn't do.. :)

They had one of the most unique weddings we have been a part of. Its not very often a parent takes a significant part in the ceremony, much less all the parents. The two fathers are both pastors, so they performed the ceremony together. They, along with the mothers, also sang the song as Kristen and Jared were doing the sand ceremony. It was the first time that we have seen all the parents involved. It was awesome!!!

Here are the images! Enjoy!

Both dads performing the ceremony

All their parents singing during the sand ceremony

Now this picture was a special request by Uncle Johnny. The families are very easy going, which allows us to fulfull such a request, without fearing an uprising.. :) I am told that Jared loved Scooby Doo as a child, so here is a tribute to that childhood. Thanks Uncle Johnny!! :)

The centerpieces were simple, yet gorgeous!

The church is old and had a rope connected to the bell in the steeple, so they decided they wanted to ring it..

This is one of my all time favorite images. It was raining throughout the reception, so we decided to incorporate that into one of the images of the day. Here is the result... Yes that is rain reflected from the flash.. Cool huh?? :)

Thanks to everyone who made this wedding a success. Special thanks to Jared's parents who allowed us to catch a ride with them back to their house as we waited on AAA to come unlock the car.

Tara - Senior Portraits - Liberty Park, Inverness

2009-07-22T16:16:00.003-04:00

We recently shot some portraits for Tara at a local park in Inverness. Tara will be graduating in 2010, so like most seniors, she wanted some fun portraits to document her life as it is now. We had a blast shooting her portraits. She was very easy going and relaxed. She was also into photography, so that helps as well =) Overall, we got some awesome images of her that she will be able to show her friends and family. Congrats on becoming a senior!!

Our senior portrait sessions are designed to be fun and relaxed. We want you to be you. Unlike most other companies, we offer unlimited outfit changes and locations, so bring whatever you would like to. We feel that it is our job to document who you are and we do not want to limit your options.

Katie and Beau - Huntington Beach State Park - South Carolina

2009-07-20T15:01:00.004-04:00

Katie and Beau got married at Huntington Beach State Park in South Carolina on Sunday. It was a beautiful morning and I do not think it could have been more perfect.. well maybe if it was about 10 degrees cooler, but who is complaining =) The good thing was that it didnt rain. That is always the worst fear when having a beach wedding, particularly when people come hundreds of miles to attend the wedding and spend some time on the beach.

It was a blast to photograph their wedding. We also had the opportunity to shoot video for them as well (check back later for a trailer). We had met some of the family from a wedding we shot back in March, so we were somewhat familiar with them, so it made things much easier. It also helps that the family is some of the nicest people we have met. It is such a pleasure to work with people who are so nice. Thanks for everything.

Enjoy the images!!

Sarah Senior Portraits - Lecanto

2009-07-15T14:45:00.004-04:00

We recently met up with Sarah for her senior Portraits in Lecanto. She wanted to do a shoot with her horse and then a few of just her by herself. We do not get the opportunity too often to do a shoot involving a horse, so it was something that we were looking forward to doing the session.

For this blog post, we decided to edit the images so that they have an "Wild West" feel to them, which is why many are sepia toned. However, we will present both versions to Sarah for her choice on prints... the joys of digital!! =)

Check out out new Senior Portrait Site
We are still working on it, but you can see what we have so far

Danielle and Brandon - Liberty Park - Inverness

2009-07-13T14:10:00.003-04:00

On Saturday, we had the privelage of shooting Danielle and Brandon's Engagement Session at Liberty Park in Inverness. Like most of our clients, they were very easy to work with and did everything that was asked.. which is a good thing because we ask our clients to do some crazy things sometimes... like sit in trees.. =) We look forward to shooting your wedding.

The most important thing for us as we do our engagement sessions is being able to show the relationship and closeness that our clients share in our posing techniques. We feel that that along with our lighting and editing skills helps sets us apart from others.

Danielle and Brandon are getting married next year.. We will be designing their save the date cards as well as a custom guest book. Check back later for those.. but until then.. enjoy images from this session =)

Marasco Family

2009-07-07T15:38:00.003-04:00

We recently had the privilege to photograph the Marasco family. We shot they wedding a few years ago and this is the 2nd family session we were able to shoot for them. My how kids grow in a year. The biggest challenge with photographing families, particularly those with young children, is to keep their attention. Kids have a mind of their own, and in most cases, it is not on taking pictures. I do think that we managed to get a few great shots that the family can cherish for years to come.

This first one is our absolute favorite

The blocks had her name on them, but we took it off for the posting online as we do not like to post names of the children. So they were not just blank :)

Jen and Mike -- Engagement Session -- Boston Area

2009-07-07T11:42:00.004-04:00

You may recognize Jen from Jennifer and Scott's wedding below. She was a bridesmaid in their wedding. We were recently in the Boston area for Jennifer and Scott's 2nd reception (images later this week), so we met up with Jen and Mike to shoot their engagement session while we were up there. The session was done at a local pond, which offered a nice outdoor location. Enjoy!!

Kristen and Jared -- Engagement Session -- UF and downtown Gainesville

2009-06-25T15:08:00.002-04:00

We shot Kristen and Jared's engagement pictures yesterday. Like the last 2 that we posted, we did them on the UF Campus in Gainesville. We also made a short stop after dark for some shots around the downtown area of Gainesville. Having never been there before, I wasn't sure what to expect. It was an awesome place to shoot and we got some awesome shots from it. It always help to have photogenic people who you are taking pictures of. See you guys in a month !!!

Enjoy!

Jennifer and Aaron -- Engagement Session -- UF Campus -- Gainesville

2009-06-25T13:49:00.002-04:00

Here is the 2nd of the recent engagement sessions we shot on the UF Campus in Gainesville. Jennifer and Aaron met us there on Monday. It was a little cooler than it has been the last few weeks, so it made the session a little easier on everyone. Jennifer and Aaron were extremely easy to work with and willing to do pretty much everything we asked them to. It always makes our job easy when our clients trust us and our vision. Thanks guys and we look forward to shooting your wedding in October :)

Valerie and Oren's Engagement Session -- UF Campus Gainesville

2009-06-24T13:31:00.006-04:00

Last Saturday, we had the privilege to photograph Valerie and Oren's engagement session on the UF Campus in Gainesville. They are both recent graduates from UF and wanted to have the session there before they moved away for the wedding. We get to shoot a lot in Gainesville, so we try to make each session a little different from the others. The session was fun, but it was HOT!!! *Note to self.. do not shoot engagement sessions at 3pm over the summer*.

We managed to get through it and got some great shots as well. Did I mention that it was hot? They were troopers and stuck it out in the heat. Thanks guys for a great session :)

We are working on updating our Gainesville Wedding Photography site, so check it out!!

Krystle's Bridal Portraits -- Crystal River

2009-06-22T15:01:00.002-04:00

Krystle got married over the weekend in Cedar Key, so we are now able to share her bridal session. She came into our studio a few weeks ago for the bridal session. As with most of our bridal session clients, we spent about 45 mins with her doing several different poses. These are our favorites. Check back later this week for the wedding images.

Jennifer and Scott Wedding Highlight Video

2009-06-20T10:45:00.002-04:00

Here is a little slideshow that we have been working on. It is a highlight of Jennifer and Scott's wedding. We are thinking about posting videos as opposed to actual images because it gives us a chance to highlight more pictures than what we typically post on the blog. There are a few minor issues we still have to work out, but overall it looks pretty good. Let us know what you think..

Enjoy!!

Shana and Chad -- Gaston Edwards Park -- Orlando

2009-06-15T18:01:00.004-04:00

Shana and Chad got married over the weekend at Gaston Edwards Park in Orlando. It was a small, but beautiful ceremony with close friends and family attending. We have known Chad for several years, so it was an honor that they asked us to shoot their wedding. The reception was at a nearby American Legion.. This place was huge and had a long section of glass blocks in place of windows. It provided awesome light for the entire reception.

We got some awesome images to show below, so take a moment and enjoy!!

Jennifer and Scott -- The Day After Complete Set

2009-06-12T17:45:00.003-04:00

Here is the official post for the day after session we did with Jennifer and Scott. It was a blast and to top it off, we got some pretty cool shots :) Not bad in a day's work. This is probably some of our best work to date!! Enjoy

Jennifer and Scott -- The Day After!!

2009-06-08T17:18:00.002-04:00

On Saturday we shot Jennifer and Scott's wedding. On Sunday, they met us in Inverness for a day after shoot. I will only show one image as a teaser. The rest will be posted later this week :)

Jennifer and Scott -- Tuscany on the Meadows

2009-06-08T16:38:00.002-04:00

Jennifer and Scott got married on Saturday at Fort Island Gulf Beach in Crystal River. We were a little concerned with the weather as it rained all day, but fortunately it stopped around 3:45 for their 4pm wedding. They came down from Massachusetts to get married on the beach, so they were going to do it regardless... rain or shine.. The reception took place at the Tuscany on the Meadows and not a drop of rain fell from the sky the rest of the night

Jennifer and Scott gave us full creative freedom when it came to the pictures, which is nice because it gives us plenty of time to do what we want :) It totally paid off and we got some awesome images. As wedding photographers, we love the fact that most of our clients are willing to do pretty much anything we ask them to. Its awesome that they have that much trust in us to provide images that they will cherish for years to come.

Here are a few from the wedding

This is one of our favorites

Lauren -- Senior Portraits

2009-06-05T15:12:00.003-04:00

Lauren recently came in to get her senior portraits taken. She opted to go with 2 sessions, the first of which was in the studio. The next session will be done outside at a local park sometime in the coming weeks once we get a break from the rain.

The advantage with coming to us for your senior portraits is that we are able to do a combination of indoor and outdoor portraits. We do not have limits to the number of outfit changes or the amount of time the session lasts. Most of our session are about 2 hrs long and have 3-4 outfit changes. Try getting that from your school photographer :) Speaking of that... you are only required to go to the school photographer for the yearbook photo only! That sitting is supposed to be free and is offered once school starts. You can go anywhere you would like for the rest of your pictures.

Here are a few from her Studio Session.

Ashley and Kyle-- Dade City

2009-05-31T20:06:00.002-04:00

Ashley and Kyle got married yesterday at a family friend's house in Dade City. Usually, when people tell us they are getting married in a backyard, we are kinda skeptical. We go there thinking "Where are we going to find a place to do pictures without seeing the house.." Well, we couldn't have been more wrong in this case as well as many of the cases in the past.

This place was GORGEOUS!!! The property was huge and offered plenty of space for photographs. The ceremony too place overlooking a large but semi-private lake. They had a cool dock that we used in several of the pictures. We couldn't have been more impressed with this "simple" back yard wedding.

It also helps to have clients that are awesome to work with and let us have free range to do pretty much what we want. Its always nice to have someone tell us that the pictures are one of the most important things and that they will change the schedule to accommodate. Its an awesome feeling knowing that our work is truly appreciated.

As a result, we are having one of biggest blog posts to date. It was hard going through and picking out these images to show you, so hopefully you will all enjoy looking at them!! :)

This first image is what the lake looked like shortly after the ceremony ended

They had very bright and vibrant colors as you can see here. AWESOME!!!

This is what we put our clients through to get some awesome shots. If you are afraid to get wet, dirty, etc.. then we are not the photographers for you :) Don't worry.. we do crazy stuff as well as you will see below. Thanks guys!

To get this shot, I had to climb up a tree about 20 feet to what looked like a base of a tree stand. Not sure what its used for normally, but it allowed us to get this shot :)

One of our favorite candid moments ever!! Ashley and her dad as they watch Kyle dance with his mom.

Thanks guys for being so easy to work with. We had a blast!!

We have several more weddings and a few portrait sessions coming soon.. so keep checking back to see what we have been up to.

Stephanie and Brandon - Creekside Community Church and the Thomas Center

2009-05-25T09:30:00.002-04:00

Stephanie and Brandon got married at the Creekside Community Center in Gainesville on Saturday. The church had an awesome dome shaped sanctuary that we do not get to see too often. The reception was at the Historic Thomas Center. If you are considering having your reception there, we would highly recommend it. It is a very unique place and offers plenty of places for pictures. Unfortunately, it rained just about all day, but we were able to get some great shots regardless. On a side note, we did have 1 camera and 1 flash stop working on us, probably due to getting wet from the rain. That is why it is important to hire a professional to do your pictures. No one knew we had any problems and we were able to finish the wedding with our back-up gear.

Now... onto the pictures!!!

One reason we like to shoot weddings is because you never know what will happen. In this case, the flower girl got a little too excited about her job and started walking down the aisle before she was supposed to. The groomsmen were still pulling the aisle runner to the back and when they reached he, she just stepped through and kept on going.

We love rings shots and do several for each wedding. We usually only post 1, but we couldn't figure out which we liked better, so we posted 2.

Stephanie and Brandon were kind enough to step into the rain for a few seconds so that we could get this picture. Thanks guys, you were awesome!!!

Cinderella's Closet - Citrus High School

2009-05-10T16:17:00.002-04:00

This is the second half of our Cinderella's Closet shoot. The first set had Crystal River and Lecanto girls. Now its time for the Citrus girls as they had their Prom last night. Once again, the girls were awesome and enjoyed having their photographs taken. We are happy that we were able to do this for them this year and hopefully we can do it next year as well. Special "Thank You's" go out to all those who donated their time and/or dresses to make this possible. You guys are really the reason all the girls look so good :)

Kathleen and JT's Engagement

2009-05-08T11:14:00.002-04:00

We recently photographed Kathleen and JT engagement session at a local beach in Crystal River... Well I wouldnt really call it a beach, but it is sand and water, so I guess it qualifies.. :) We wanted to try something a little bit different, so we processed some of the images in a retro-feel... almost like something from the 60's and 70's.. It turned out pretty cool. It also helps to have a couple willing to do pretty much anything from walking over rocks to walking through mud.. Thanks guys for an awesome session... :)

Sherrie and Matt- Sand Key Beach- Complete Post

2009-05-06T13:45:00.003-04:00

Here is the complete post from Sherrie and Matt's wedding in Sand Key Beach. As you can see, they had a sunset wedding. Most sunsets in Florida are gorgeous.. and this one was no exception. We got some awesome colors and were able to implement a couple of ideas that we have had, but haven't had the chance to do them. Thanks guys for being so easy going and fun to work with.. Enjoy!!!

This one was processed much more than we typically take an image. However, it does have an artistic feel to it and is one of our favorites from the wedding.

This is our absolute favorite from the wedding.

We typically do not post too many cake images, but we thought that this cake looked awesome and it went with the beach wedding very well.

Miss Olivia

2009-05-04T13:26:00.002-04:00

And here is little Miss Olivia. We shot some promotional material for her modeling agency so she can submit some images to publications. These were shot at a local park that we like to keep a secret :) As you would expect from someone her age... she was FULL of energy... As the session went on, she started to pose herself like you see on America's Next Top Model... She did an awesome job!!

New Product

2009-04-29T14:55:00.001-04:00

Alexa's Senior Session

2009-04-29T11:01:00.003-04:00

Alexa came in for a senior session over the weekend. We went to a park in Ocala for the outdoor shots and finished up in the studio. She was a trooper. The total shoot lasted about 3 hours, but we got some awesome images.

If you haven't gotten your senior pictures done, now is your chance. Its never too late.. We are also booking 2010 seniors now as well.
