I love when we can make an engagement session really personal to the couple. For Shelby and Trevor, we chose not to just go to one of the pretty parks in town, but somewhere that has personal meaning for them. They met on the track team for Florida State, so what better place for their engagement portraits than on the track at FSU!
The first word I think of to describe Cybill & Trent’s wedding at Bradley’s Pond is “Fun”. While “fun” sounds like a really generic uncaring word to describe such a wonderful event, its really honestly the truth! Both Cybill and Trent are hilarious and fun to be around, but so are all of their friends and family! When you have that many awesome people in one space, add a rockin band, awesome food and drinks… well FUN does sum it up! I loved every minute of their day and I am so honored they included Olyn and I!
We are so lucky to have the best wedding clients in the world, but the thoughtfulness and love we received from Michelle & Oliver really takes them to a new level! In addition to being incredibly sweet and loving, Michelle took time out of her wedding preparations to bake cookies for all of her vendors! I swear she must be Super-Bride!
Its not often that Olyn and I meet our couples on their wedding day, but for Aaliya and Dameion, they have been traveling all over the world and didn’t get into Tallahassee until days before their wedding! Within minutes of meeting Dameion, we felt like old friends– he grew up just minutes away from me back in South Carolina! Liya was just as easy to get to know as well! Soft spoken and quick to laugh, she was such a wonderful bride! I loved getting to learn more about their traditions as we photographed their blended Muslim-American wedding at the FSU Alumni Center!
I am super excited– I won two of the categories at last night’s Tallahassee Professional Photographers Guild meeting! Each month the photographers vote to select the best photograph in nine different categories.
