{Michele+Caleb Wedding at Casa Marina | KiKi Creates |…

The wedding with beautiful people and beautiful details. This was such a gorgeous wedding to photograph not only because every little detail was perfectly executed; but everyone was so sweet and beautiful inside and out. It’s nice when you don’t have to “pose” people. Especially when they are already having a great time, smiling, and looking gorgeous. 🙂

Thank you Michele & Caleb for inviting me to photograph such a loving wedding. There were so many beautiful and emotional moments from this day. So happy to be there to capture them.

Enjoy!

{Hannah + CJ Wedding at Waterford Castle | KiKi…

Try to imagine a lot of eyeshadow, safety pins, several torn pieces of fabric and one eager 15 year old. No, I am not describing this wedding, I am describing my first photo shoot. Which happened to be of this lovely Bride, Hannah. We were great friends in high school and along with a few other girls who participated, we successfully designed, shot, and edited our own photos from my very first photo shoot.

Fast forward 13 years and we are in Ireland photographing her wedding. Wow. From the beginning of my career in the backyard of my parents house with a single lens camera, to photographing a grand wedding in another country. What a difference. I knew when the phone rang that spring evening over a year ago. That night Hannah called, I knew she was asking me to Ireland to photograph her wedding. I was elated and so overwhelmingly thankful that she thought of me.

Beyond the fact that they were a great couple to work with, they were so incredibly happy it was impossible to make a bad photo of them. They are absolutely perfect for each other. She calls him “Angel” and he may smirk a bit but he loves it. They were even more delightful to photograph. We must have walked a mile up to a tree I was adamant about photographing in front of. With the help of Jameson, Chardonnay, and their 10 year old cousin photographing beside me we made it in one piece and my first Irish Wedding was one of the most perfect weddings I have been to.

I can’t thank Hannah & Cj, as well as their welcoming family and friends for the best time and the best company that March Day in Waterford. Let me know when we can do it again sometime…I’ll bring the Camper Van and the droid! Enjoy!

The Merkal Family | Jacksonville Beach Lifestyle Photographer |…


Such A cute Family. Christina & I have been trying to put together a shoot for her family for about 6 months. Our schedules just could not seem to meet….but finally…we went to the zoo! What a perfect location for this family of three (with one expected on the way!)

It took a minute for little Anna Belle to warm up to the camera…and the giraffe. But this adorable little girl had me reminiscing on the photo shoot I did with my family 20 years ago as a child. As she began to trust me more, she would give these intense stares at the camera, that pierced through my lens with her Big Blue Eyes. She became a bundle of Joy! Hugging moms leg, kissing Dad on the nose, jumping around with a huge smile on her face.

She really lit up on the last few minutes, when we put on her fairy outfit. I told her that I have “wear whatever you want days” and I wish I could dress like a fairy one day. She says, “You can! Here is a flower!” We gathered flowers in the daisy field with her little gold shoes on and I couldn’t help but smile and laugh with her. Almost forgetting our hour long shoot turned into and hour and a half. Either way, I had a blast with this great family, glad we finally got to work out a time to meet! Check out all the goodies below!
