Katy and Andrew, Navarre, Florida 4/29/07





Below is a freak hair accident between Mom and Bride. I can safely say I've never seen this happen before!



I am usually a bit nervous when the first time I meet a couple is at their wedding, but as soon as I did I was immediately at ease. This Texan couple was very laid back and their wedding ceremony and reception matched their style. The wedding was at a beach house with just their close family and friends invited. Great food and drinks. An mp3 player the supplied music. The wedding was small enough that they could be pretty flexible with the itinerary. They had been partying with their friends a few nights before at the beach house so by the time the wedding day arrived everyone was pretty relaxed. Katy had a freak accident with her mom that I can safely say I have never seen happen before. She wore a beautiful beach dress that suited her perfectly. This intimate and fun wedding was a great way to wrap up a busy week!

Dayna & Joshua, Gulf Shores Beach Club, AL 4/28/07



When I first met Dayna at our first meeting I knew I could get some phenominal bridal shots out of her. She had these amazing blue eyes. She normally doesn't wear make up but I knew that in the hands of the right makeup artist we could do something very glamous for her shoot. Unfortunately we had to shoot on a weekend during spring break and the beaches were mobbed. Diapers in the parking lot, grills out on the beach, and boomin' cars didn't help the fact that Dayna was a bit shy and would be the only one walking around the beach in a wedding dress. But she really came out of her shell and we got some amazing photos. When they were on display at her wedding reception people couldn't stop talking about them! Josh loved them and I was right about which ones would be his favorite. That is one advantage of being a male photographer. If she wants to impress her man, I can help her pick at the photos that he will like best! They had a beautiful ceremony on the beach and an elegant reception on deck at the Gulf Shores Beach Club. Joshua is a great guy and it doesn't take a genius to realize that he ADOREs her.

Michelle & X , Rutherfords 465, San Destin, Florida 4/21/07






What an awesome couple! Michelle is an interior decorator so she definitely had the connections and the taste to make her wedding day beautiful. Her dress was very gorgeous and unique. When I asked her where she got it she said Niceville! WOW! Niceville has changed! Her future husband looked like he just walked off the set of the O.C. A beautiful couple that will have beautiful babies some day. The wedding ceremony was outdoors and the weather was perfect. If the weather was like this all year long no one could afford to live here!

Brian & Tabitha Wedding, Pensacola FL 4/14/07



What a great couple! They both first met at age 13 when Brian's dog peed on her leg! You could obviously tell this couple was meant to be! Tabitha's bridal portraits were a huge hit at the wedding reception. Everyone had a great time and the DJ spun an eclectic mix to keep the crowd going. As many weddings as I shoot I actually heard songs played by a wedding DJ that I had never heard of before! There was plenty of great food and Brian was practiacally begging everyone to take food home with them!

Will and Courney Wedding 4/7/07

Will woke up on his wedding day with a mysterious scratch on his forehead that he had no idea how he got the night before. It must have been some party! Courtney looked amazing in her dress and was scratch-free. The ceremony was at Unity Church and had tons of natural light inside so it really gave me a lot of freedom to be creative shooting their wedding. I wasn't really sure what the reception was going to be like because it was at Will's parents house. Then when I drove up my jaw dropped. This house has always been my dream house! It was built in the early 1900s and has gorgeous architecture. What a fantastic location for a wedding reception! Oysters Rockerfeller, 2 fully bars, and a live band kept the party going. The after-party was at the Crown. I could tell Will would be hurting tomorrow morning!
