From the first few seconds of meeting Morgan and John, I knew they were a fun couple. What I didn’t know, was that their family was just as fun. A couple of weeks ago, we met for Morgan and John’s engagement session and had a wonderful time getting to know them. Thoughtfully, Morgan’s parents and sister came along to help take care of Gus (you’ll soon see in the images below, how the little guy tried to steal Morgan and John’s spotlight).

We are honored to be documenting Morgan and John’s upcoming December wedding. With Morgan’s attention to detail, the couple’s sweet personalities, and the overflowing love they share, I’m sure it will be an unforgettable event!

Thank you Morgan and John, for sharing your afternoon and lovely family with us.

Enjoy a few of our favorites from their session:

In a few short weeks, Avani and Ripul will be celebrating one of the most important days of their lives. To say that we’re excited for their upcoming wedding this April is definitely an understatement. Avani has painstakingly selected an amazing team of vendors and together they’ll be bringing this couple’s unique vision to fruition. We’re anxious to document every last detail and unforgettable emotion!

Recently, we had the opportunity to spend some time and get to know a little more about this sweet couple for their engagement session. Being that Avani is an interior designer and Ripul is a neurosurgeon we knew that MOSI (with it’s amazing architecture and areas dedicated to the brain/science) would be a perfect place to start their session.

A huge thank you to Jeannette and staff at MOSI for allowing us exclusive access to the breathtaking dome area and creating a wonderful experience for Avani and Ripul-they had a wonderful time!

We had lots of fun and many laughs with Avani and Ripul, even when Avani’s car keys ‘somehow’ got locked in their trunk. ;) It was an adventurous time to say the least and we hope you enjoy some of our favorite images from that day.

We’re all a little weird. And life is weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness—and call it love—true love.

Besides a unique spelling to his name, Keily (pronounced Kelly) has a way to make anyone laugh so hard that they may doubt their bladder control-especially his gorgeous fiancée, Nicole. She’s almost certain that 50 years from now she’ll need diapers, but that’s a risk she’s more than willing to take. We knew their engagement session would have plenty of laughs when we received this fun couple’s answers to our questionnaire. We were cracking up while reading over their responses! Nicole may hurt me for sharing this, but one of my favorite answers was Keily’s when asked about things that make him laugh about her. Keily described, ”How when she drinks soda from a can, one eye closes.”

You see, right then and there, I fell in love with this couple. They seemed all the more ‘real’ to me. Their answers made Khaled and I realize how many small details we love and laugh about each other. At that moment, we were not the only ‘weird’ ones in the world and we couldn’t wait to document Nicole and Keily’s unique love story.

When I asked Nicole what she envisioned for her e-session, I loved that she let me know what she wanted to stay away from: Nature. Although a picturesque garden might be lovely, that was not Nicole or Keily’s style. They are a modern couple that love the Miami scene, music, and you can usually find them enjoying their favorite yummy sushi at Origami Sushi.

The Grand Bohemian Hotel in Orlando was perfect with it’s artistic and musical touches. We found great spots throughout downtown Orlando and finished the evening with a scrumptious dinner at Ceviche.

We are so excited to share a few of our favorite images from Nicole and Keily’s engagement session with you and looking forward to their wedding in June!

Even before meeting Jessica and Jessie for their engagement session we had a feeling this couple’s relationship was very special. The way they tease each other; the loving way Jessie looks at Jessica; the infectious happiness that they share. I couldn’t stop smiling as I was gathering the images for their blog feature! I’ll never forget how Jessica glowed on her wedding day. Purely elegant and classic with a love of Pride & Prejudice and everything vintage.

When I walked in and saw her absolutely breathtaking gown and gorgeous bouquet, I couldn’t wait to see Jessie’s face when he saw his bride! As I mentioned in their e-session blog feature, Jessica and Jessie had to move up their wedding date due to Jessie’s obligations in the Air Force (coincidentally we discovered Jessie will be deployed to Saudi Arabia, which is where Khaled is from.) We were amazed with how well everything worked out and how this sweet couple handled the changes.  Their wedding was set for a Friday and I must say, I loved it. It was our first Friday wedding and it just felt so different. Their intimate church wedding was simply classic and lovely. Aside from me almost falling in front of everyone during the ceremony (we’ll leave those boring details for another time) this was definitely a wedding we’ll never forget!

We are so thankful for Jessica and Jessie’s family and bridal party. They were such a pleasure to spend time with and so helpful. Jessica and Jessie, thank you for allowing us to be part of your day. We hope our images bring the happiness and beautiful memories from your wedding day to life everyday.

One of the many satisfactions of being a wedding photographer is the opportunity to experience and document love in so many ways. We are each unique individuals and one-of-a-kind…and so are relationships. It’s a true blessing to see how different couples plan their special day. Some celebrations are intimate while others are extravagant…but what they all have in common is two individuals vowing their love to each other.

When Frances contacted us for her Miami Beach intimate nuptials, she expressed how important it was for her special day to be captured in an intimate, very personal way where the images felt natural and candid. As a graphic designer, composition of the images was also really important to Frances. We were beyond thrilled to oblige!

More than 80 years old, Miami Beach’s historic Old City Hall, with its beautiful Mediterranean architecture, was the perfect location for Frances and Felipe to say their I-Do’s. Frances’s parents flew in from Puerto Rico and along with France’s lovely sister, they witnessed Felipe and Frances become husband and wife.

We were privileged to spend some time before the ceremony at Frances and Felipe’s gorgeous high rise apt (with a stellar view of Miami, as you can see in the first image below) and get to know a little more about them. We also met Chewie, their cute lil pug and sweet baby Valentina, Frances’s niece.

Thanks to Frances, I am now addicted to CB2, West Elm, and I plan on moving to a high rise apartment with an amazing view…very soon.

Frances and Felipe, thank you for having us as part of your special day. We hope you have an amazing adventure on your New Zealand and Fiji honeymoon!
