Just the most adorable of weddings including a little pup in a tie, beautiful red accents, a 20’s themed party with jazz playing everywhere, A life sized moon shaped prop for the night and all the love you could ever need. Check out this beautiful Fall wedding at Sweet water Branch in…
Enjoy!

This incredibly windy but incredibly loving day was one of my favorite sunsets at Casa Marina Hotel. Kelsey & Blake picked a beautiful November day to get married beach side in Jacksonville Beach, Florida. With soft pastel pinks, navy’s and creamy whites they accented Casa Marina’s Historic Beauty and created an adorable wedding by the ocean. Check out their perfect sunset wedding below….Enjoy!

A little fog is sometime fun. Especially when you have a beautiful subject to photograph! Nice is due in just a few short days and is expecting her first little baby girl. We will be photographing her later this month at the same park…so more to come. For now…Enjoy!

Just the most perfect of Saturday Mornings. Felt just like a fairy tale as I walked up to the cute St.Augustine Bungalow she and her bridesmaids were sipping champagne and getting ready at. Blue skies, birds chirping, and a lovely group of people to spend the day with.
Besides the beautiful day, there were so many smiles and laughs that it was hard to narrow down my favorites. Check out some of their best below. Enjoy!

2015. It may be in month 2 of 2016, but you still haunt me. If you own your own business you know the year doesn’t really end on December 31st. There are mountains of things to do in order to close out the year and it always seeps into the months following the champagne filled New Years Eve party you went to. In comes my blog post…my end of 2015 is officially here with the closing of my books and editing my last session which happened to be on the last day of the year. I put together a collage last year and photo timeline and people seemed to have a good laugh so I decided to give it another go around.
2015 was filled with 36 weddings, 55 photo booths and 50 portraits sessions all taking place in Florida, Colorado, Washington, Virginia, Ireland, and Scotland. We hit our 5th year in business and 160th wedding. And to be honest we had one of the best years since we started in 2010. Although…2016 is already proven to be a heavy contestant for “Best Year”, but I will leave that to next years post. For now, check out my photo captioned year below.
Enjoy and Thanks to all my clients from 2015 that made this such a magical and wonderful year!

We began the year in cold Colorado bundled up with this guy…
Then we decided to rent a camper van…
And head to Ireland…
To photograph these two…
We Danced a lot…
And had some of this…
And this…
And then did this…
Then we came back to the states and photographed these guys at a candy factory…
Was it a boy?
A Girl?
It was a boy. Here he is…
We also danced in the woods…
And went on a boat ride…
And hung out cliffside…
And at the beach…
And by the river…
We also had a bunch of smiles….
A lot of lovely couples got married…
But some people were over it…
And the Rain…
And the sunshine…
As well as the cake eaters…
The “Glowing Bride Award” was created …
And also the “Best Bridesmaid Award”…
Hands became a new photographic obsession…
And now it’s on to 2016…
The Goldenest of Golden Hour Engagements was my first time at Castaway Island Preserve in Jacksonville, Florida. With cowboy boots on we explored the beautiful woods of Castaway Island on one of the most beautiful days here in Florida. Enjoy my last engagement session of 2015!
I cannot put a solid number together for how many shoots I have done of these two. Between their wedding, Braden on his Dirtbike, Courtney surfing in her wedding dress, Family Sessions with their dogs, Christmas Day…we have just had a lot of fun memories and photos to prove it. So naturally, when I needed a couple to pose for a styled session, I asked the Burton’s. And although it began as a styled shoot with a few Colorado Vendors, it turned into a bit of a vow renewal. Even if that Vow Renewal included Courtney promising not to eat Braden’s French Fries and Braden vowing to order more so she can. Happy I met you two years ago because life is always a little more fun when you guys are around.
Enjoy!

Photographed in the Beautiful Town of Crested Butte
My first time photographing at Great Falls was with my wonderful sister and brother in law. I got the chance to photograph them and their goofy pups while visiting during fall of last year. Over the course of three hours, and with the help of lots of goofy faces and joking around, we created some of my favorite photos alongside this wonderful cliff we found while hiking. We even got to make a few awkward family photos with my sister and I and the dogs earlier in the day. Thanks for inching closer and closer to the edge of the cliff for this portrait….Always fun working with the Petersen’s!

I’ve always thought the best way to throw a wedding is to rent a house and party all night! Kaylie & Jason had the same idea and you can see the beauty of their St.Augustine Fall Wedding in the lovely photo below. Enjoy!
I think every group of friends has that one couple. The one that may have been the one that got married first, but their the ones that are so happy and wonderful together all the time. The ones that you are a little envious of, but mostly you are like, “they are so damn cute!” Well, for my group of friends, Caitlin & Geoff are that couple. They are just too perfect for each other and when we found out the news she was pregnant we were all so excited for them both.
After the past few years of Friendship, an engagement session, a few photo booth and other impromptu photo sessions we came to Palm Valley to photograph her first maternity session. And a few days later we went to the beach to photograph her little man, Patrick. I am just so happy and honored to be able to photograph someones important moments in their life. Especially someone as beautiful and kind as Caitlin. Congrats you two!
Enjoy!
