Imagine waking up to the sound of the waves, being surrounded by your loved ones and the buzz of excitement as you get ready, the feeling of butterflies and warm sand between your toes as you walk up the aisle, and sealing your forever promises with a sea salt kiss. Then at the end of the night once all the champagne has been popped and the light of the day is gone, everyone will trade their fancy attire for comfy clothes. You’ll all gather around a beach fire to reminisce about the day. THAT is an iconic Florida beach house wedding. And it could be yours.

Sometimes, in life, you just meet people you click with. H and M are two of those people. They are phenomenal, kind, and so sweet to be around. I cherish all the time I had with them this afternoon and it could not have been better!

Running around the city after the sun has gone down and most people are in the comforts of their home is truly unparalleled. And getting to do it with L + H added to the magic of the night! I know these two from Florida and it was such a sweet time getting to catch up with them in New York City where they moved after getting married this past year. During our time together I got to experiment more with film which was exciting, can you guess which photos are film vs digital?!

The two days that I spent with V + D up in the Isle of Skye in Scotland exceeded all of my wildest dreams! Getting to know these two and capture their love was truly such an honor. V is originally from Russia and D from Italy! V lived in the states for sometime, which is where she started her professional wedding photography career! Throughout the years she started doing more destination work which lead to her meeting her now husband while she was photographing a wedding in the UK in 2019! How incredible is that?! Their love story is the kind that novels are written about and they knew from the first moments that they were for each other. V + D faced with my trails during the start of their relationship with being long distant (UK to the US!) and then the pandemic hitting, but they showed everyone that they could (and did!) make it work. When you know you know.

Running around the streets of Dublin for the first time with I + I was incredible!

Getting to see somewhere for the first time with my couples is a dream come true and even more so when it is their first time too! Something that only we get to share. Although the streets were busy with on lookers and shop goers we found bits of quite that we could carve out for ourselves on this overcast day.

Once again getting to celebrate friends milestones is always a joy! M and I went to high school and college together. It is neat having friends from where I grew up here in Florida (even if for just a short time!). When I found out that C + M were moving down to the Florida panhandle I was ecstatic! As I have gotten to know C, it is obvious how well these two fit together and the love they have for the other.

Wow what a wedding and an incredible way to start 2022 (I know I know it is the end of 2022 and I am just getting around to sharing 😅)!!! Kicking off my year with C + J was the BEST way to do it! The thing about the first weddings/events of the year is they set the tone for the rest of it. And believe me, I wouldn’t have wanted to start it any other way!

My last session of the year and it was the perfect way to close out 2022!! I met V through a another couple who I worked with earlier this year when I photographed her and her husband (and their pup!!).

As usual for Florida, we had to keep an eye on the weather throughout the day due to expected rain showers and thunderstorms, but as the % dropped we decided to push through and boy oh boy am I glad we did! We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful evening with a stunning sunset. It may have been a little windy, but I love the movement it brought to the photos!

Imagine the city in the morning: people are taking their pets for walks before work or getting their daily exercise in. There is the quite bustle of activity while the city is waking up.

But you and your partner are doing something a little different: getting ready for your urban adventure elopement.
