Teneka and Ahmad had a glitz and glam wedding, but it wasn’t the sparkles that I was in awe of– it was the love and emotion from Ahmad and Teneka. The moment Ahmad saw his daughter walking down the aisle towards him, the tears started. When he saw his bride just a few moments later, he was barely able to keep it together. His love for his bride and his family was on his face the entire day and it was such a privilege to be a part of this day with them!
Lori and Miguel had the most intimate sweet wedding here in Tallahassee at Good Shepherd Catholic Church and Dorothy B. Oven Park. I love intimate weddings, its such a compliment when I am among the couple’s closest friends and family for their wedding day. Lori and Miguel kept things really simple and let me concentrate their photography time mostly on the two of them together, which made the day super fun, but also gave them some really special time together. I have to say that Miguel’s excitement was totally contagious– he was so excited to be marrying Lori that it really made me even more excited to photograph his joy!
Olyn and I had another great month of print competition with the Tallahassee Professional Photographers Guild. This month, we each won two categories! I won for Open/Illustrative and for Social Function while Olyn won for Commercial and Portrait of a Woman. Here are the winning photographs:

Photographing a wedding with an awesome couple, beautiful details and fun guests– pretty much a photographer’s dream. Add in that the couple totally trusts you and gives you creative freedom?? Then add in that its the second wedding for this family, so you already know and love lots of people there?? Yes, I was in photography heaven on Saturday with Meredith and Brad’s wedding!
From the sweet ceremony at St. Thomas More to the amazingly gorgeous reception at the Double Tree in downtown Tallahassee, Meredith and Brad had an absolutely perfect wedding day! With all the purple and gold details and the special vintage touches, it was a completely unique and personalized event– right on down to the tennis shoe ice sculpture (since the couple met running a marathon). I am so glad that Meredith and Brad chose us to photograph their awesome wedding!
