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!

Jessica and Jessie met 6 years ago while out with mutual friends but didn’t see each other again until years later when they walked down the aisle together…as best man and maid of honor for his brother’s wedding, that is. Destiny and their friends played an important role in these two lovebirds finally hitting it off and they have been inseparable ever since! Jessie adores everything about Jessica, including her 20 different laughs and how he can annoy her by interrupting when she’s in mid-sentence. On the other hand, Jessica loves teasing Jessie about being much more older and wiser then him, since she’s a whopping 2 years older, oh my! Spend a few minutes with these two and you’ll soon figure out that they are not only head over heels in love, but destined for each other.

Due to Jessie’s obligations in the Air Force, their December wedding had to be moved up to October just a few weeks ago. It warms my heart to see how Jessica and Jessie work together to stay positive and plan their special day. I know with their loving family and friends and their amazing attention to details, Jessica and Jessie’s wedding is going to be a beautiful celebration of their love. We are honored and can’t wait to be there to document every moment!

We had such a great time getting to know Jessica and Jessie a little more and capturing their engagement images at the stunning Bok Tower Gardens this month. Here are a few of our favs!

Matt and Alison can inspire songwriters to easily write love songs…seriously. Five seconds with this couple and you can see how much Matt adores Alison and he’s one lucky guy because Alison, is head over heels for him. If this engagement session could be wrapped up in a few words, it would be lots-o-love, lots-o-laughter, and snake skin, say what?! Yes, more on that a little later (ugh, I shudder at the thought)!

I must note that Alison is one of the most detailed brides I know! She is all about the small details and I absolutely.love.that.  It was wonderful to see how this gorgeous couple came up with ideas to incorporate in their shoot. Their genuine affection in front of our lens was magic and we feel humbly honored to have been able to capture those moments. I can’t begin to describe how amazing it feels when a couple trusts you to capture who they are and everything comes together perfectly in those moments to help you achieve that!

Saying that we are excited for Matt & Alison’s October wedding would be a huge understatement! I know with this couple’s attention to detail and confidence in making their special day uniquely their’s…it will be absolutely lovely!

Matt and Alison are also the winning couple from our Most Unique Proposal Contest last year! You can see their entry here and our (fun little attempt at stop-motion) announcement here.

Oh, and before I forget, about that snake skin, ugh…did you know that snakes climb up trees to shed their skin?! I definitely didn’t know that, until Matt kindly pointed that out to me as he pulled the skin off the tree next to us. Snake skin on a tree?! This city girl quickly had visions of snakes eating us alive and all I wanted to do was save my camera! It took every ounce of courage I had in my body not to run off screaming, although I probably screamed just a bit anyway.

Thanks for the adventurous day, Matt and Alison! See you soon (in the city)! ; )

We have been dying to share this out-of-this-world engagement session!  You may remember this gorgeous couple from our Most Unique Proposal Contest last year. Friends, families, and our readers chose which one of the three couples had the most unique proposal and who would win their wedding photography with us. Their proposal story was very unique and although they did not win the contest, we were thrilled when Ariel & Keith chose us as their wedding photographers!

Ariel & Keith are a very hands-on, nature-lovin’, creative duo and knew they wanted to incorporate their wedding theme throughout their engagement images! The location they chose matched their characters perfectly! Although it was a very, very cold day, we were able to have fun, capture their sweet moments, and bring their love story to a visual life!  The signs you’ll see throughout the images, were created by Keith and painted by his mom. The signs will be posted throughout their wedding! Aren’t they adorable? If you head to the website (http://arielandkeith.kismisink.com/) we created for the couple, you can see more gorgeous images from their session and the different signs, including a Save-The-Date and We are getting married sign. I thought it was very clever of them to bring the signs along and incorporate the images to announce their wedding!

The feathers, vases, and candles are also part of their wedding decor, and I am in love with their colors and style!

If I had to choose my favorite part of the session, I would have to say it is the scariest part too! Ariel & Keith decided it was a great idea to sit in a tree that branches out directly above a suspended bridge (I am not even sure how high in the air, but it was very high) in the middle of river rapids below! Khaled had to stand on the ledge of the bridge to grab the shots and as I stood on the bridge trembling, watching them, I had several horrible scenarios play out…but thankfully, it was over very quickly! The reason that it’s my favorite part of the session is because we were able to visually document Ariel and Keith’s adventurous nature and I hope that throughout the years, they will look at those images and remember the excitement of that day!

Ariel and Keith, we are so happy for you both and look forward to your special day!

She’s in Canada. He’s in California. They tie the knot this April here in Florida, where there love story began ten years ago. Matt’s in the Marine’s and due to his duties, this sweet couple has had to really manage their time and travels wisely. They could only squeeze in their engagement session one evening in late November, when they were both in Florida visiting for Thanksgiving (while multi-tasking and wedding planning)! The weather was overcast, windy and freezing-but we managed to have lots of laughs and a great time! The super-talented Holly Nazario, from Collective Creations did Yomi’s gorgeous hair and makeup. We are excited to be part of Yomi and Matt’s special day and we are sure all of their hard work will result in an unforgettable wedding day! Enjoy some of our favorites from their lovely e-session.
