I’m so glad to be posting these! Brittany and Fred had a beautiful wedding on the beach in Destin. They rented the amazing Casa Destino in Destiny by the Sea and with the help of Robyn from Mix Mingle Glow, transformed it into a stunning wedding and reception venue. The gorgeous florals were put together by Celestine’s Special Occasions and fit the color palette perfectly. After their beach ceremony their guests went inside for cocktail hour and then ventured back out on to the beach during one of the best sunsets *ever* for a relaxing dinner on the water. As the sun fell and dinner was completed everyone went back inside for dancing and cake. They partied late into the night and their guests had a blast!

amanda suanne: beautiful job! that was a fun wedding :D

Michelle King: Candice- What an awesome job!

Mix Mingle Glow: Thank you for being so amazing to work with Candice. The Brides love you and the end result continuously blows me away. I adore working with you and am always honored to have our wedding design featured on your blog!

Ashley Livingston: Beautiful Candice!! Love it. Just had to stop by and tell you so :)

Well now, here is a long overdue blog!

Debbie and Andrew will be getting married in June at the Hilton Sandestin Beach. They came out last fall, on a beautiful, bright day and we walked around Rosemary Beach before heading down to Deer Lake State Park. If you ever want to see an absolutely gorgeous beach in this area, Deer Lake State Park is definitely a sight to behold. There is a long walk down some winding boardwalks that are raised high off the ground over the dunes. It is so beautiful and the beach is usually desolate. Andrew proposed to Debbie on a sailboat, which is so thoughtful and check out that ring! Nice job Andrew.

Keep your eyes peeled for at least one more wedding blog this week and maybe a portrait session or two as well.

Hi y’all! I hope you’re having a wonderful new year… welcome 2010!

It’s absolutely freezing here in Florida. In fact, as I’m posting this the thermometer reads 20 degrees. Yes, you read that right. And the low for tonight is something like 15. We’re hearing it may SNOW the day after tomorrow. That’s something that hasn’t happened here since 1977. We’ve been let down before though, so I’ll believe it when I see it. And depending on how late at night it is, I may even post pics!

In an effort to think warm thoughts, I decided to post a beach session from last summer. I have a TON of beach sessions to post, but time is fleeting so one will have to do for now.

On a side note, this summer is already booking up quickly. Due to high demand for weddings in June, I will only be taking a very limited number of beach sessions in the month of June. Please contact me asap for available dates if you will be visiting in June and would like info on family portrait sessions. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy this little peek into a family beach session!

Um, love this one… one of my all-time favs because it’s just so REAL. This is what kids do and it’s what makes kids special and makes life interesting every day.

erica: awesome, as always!!

I’m so excited about posting these photos for Laura and Josh! The sunset on the day of their engagement session was just amazing. Complete with a full moon… absolutely stunning. We took a quick trip through Eden State Gardens before heading over to the beach.

These two have known each other since they met, while in highschool, working at Abercrombie… fast forward about 6 years and here they are about to get married! Their wedding will be in May, here in Santa Rosa Beach at Bentley’s on the Bay. Laura and Josh… I hope you love these as much as I do!

Laura: I LOVE them!! Thanks Candice!

MixMingleGlow: gorgeous Candice! so crystal clear, I feel like I'm THERE. amazing work.

Michelle: These are magnificent!

Wow!! Business has been awesome this year. God is SO good. Things have been insanely crazy and busy. Blogging is really unfortunately the last thing on my priority list. That’s going to change next year though. Plans are to get some help and hire someone to take some of the load off my shoulders. Next year is already over halfway booked up for weddings. If you are considering contacting me to be your wedding photographer, do it now! There are only a few dates left. Also, I expect prices to rise quite a bit very soon.

2010 will be here in just a little over 30 days. I’m looking forward to the upcoming season and can’t wait to get some time on my hands so that I can blog some of the amazing sessions and weddings from 2009.

Speaking of 2010… Devon and Sean will be celebrating their wedding day in March of 2010. Like a lot of destination wedding couples, they managed to come out for a quick planning trip and we squeezed in an engagement session amongst all the other appointments and fun planning adventures they had arranged. I just love these two. They have a love for theater and of course each other. Devon is full of energy and oh so stylish. Sean is the strong, silent, and incredibly sweet kind of guy. They will be hosting their event at a beach home in Miramar Beach. For their engagement session, we made a stop at a local playground for a few minutes and caught some moments while they hung out on the swings, then we made our way over to the beach, but not before stopping in front of one of the great coastal dune lakes here in Walton County. Here are a few images that Devon and Sean selected as their favorites… hope you enjoy them! If you do, leave me some comment love <3

Congratulations to Tiffany and Alan! Their wedding day was beautiful and wonderfully handled by Robyn of Mix Mingle Glow at Bayside in Sandestin. Tiffany’s gown was designed by Maggie Sottero and the super cute (totally rewearable!) bridesmaids dresses came from J Crew. Florals by the Sea put together the fresh arrangements with orchids, roses, and hydrangea. I really loved the gorgeous ceremony arrangements and rose petal aisle which the florist very cleverly made sure would not blow away in the slightly windy weather. We took a short ride over to the beach for some photos of the whole crew and Tiffany and Alan together. They shared their first dance to Only You Can Love Me This Way by Keith Urban and kept the party going with help from BBoy Productions. And now to see the TON of pics I’ve chosen to show from this day… Thanks Tiffany and Alan, I’m so happy for you both!

patsy: WHOAAAAAAAAAAA!!! Just STUNNING girl! I am totally impressed. BEAUTIFUL!

MixMingleGlow: Candice, Candice, Candice...what CAN'T you do??? Tiffany & Alan are (as you know) two of the sweetest, kindest, most gracious, wonderful people and you have outdone yourself with these GORGEOUS photos....perfectly befitting of them and their sweet day! xoxo

Cassie Olimb: WOW Candace! Those are awesome! Like, jaw dropping awesome!

Misty: Gorgeous! These pictures are awesome! Love ya, Misty

Aunt Cathy: Very unique and breathtakingly beautiful photos. You really captured the essence of the beach by bringing out those gorgeous colors, as well as the fun casualness of the setting.

Sara: Amazingly beautiful, you're awesome!!

Michelle: Holy Smokes! Really- I'm speechless. These are absolutely amazing. You captured the beauty of this sweet couple and their wonderful day perfectly!

Nick: Hey sis, your pictures look like they were straight out of a bridal magazine...love ya both..nick

Catherine sims: Wow! Absolutely the BEST most stunning wedding photos I've ever seen! Tif and Alan you both look great! Absolutely thrilled for you both!

erica: um... remind me WHY you won't raise your prices again????? these rock!

I had a blast shooting a Day After session for Allie and Chase. Day After and/or Trash the Dress sessions are something I encourage all my couples to consider. We have plenty of time to get all the fun shots we didn’t have time for on the tight wedding day schedule. Day after sessions can be done literally the day after or years after for that matter! If you’re a couple who perhaps did not get the wedding day photos you dreamed of, this is a great way to have a do-over on the photos. I think day after sessions are great for first anniversaries too.

Here are just a few from Allie and Chase’s day after session. Allie also chose to take a dip in the Gulf in her dress!

Ashley Green: Beautiful! Great Job!!!

Francesca Messore: Pictures came out gorgeous!

Ah! Finally. I’ve come back to post Brittany and Kevin’s wedding photos! Brittany and Kevin traveled from Texas for their destination wedding at the Santa Rosa Beach Club. Brittany was a beautiful bride in her gorgeous beaded, sweetheart neckline gown. Their wedding party was so sweet and lovely to work with and included Brittany’s youngest sister who was just darling in her custom matching bridesmaid’s gown. The girls got their dresses from JCrew and they were able to order extra matching fabric to have her sisters dress made! After a terrace ceremony, everyone went down to the beach to make a wish and toss their shell into the Gulf while the great staff at the Santa Rosa Beach Club quickly rearranged the terrace for their outdoor reception. Brittany and Kevin’s cornelli-lace cake and Boston Red Sox grooms cake came from Fatty Patty’s. Thank you Kevin and Brittany for letting me be a part of your day!

cindy: hey Candice! Love your work. These are beautiful, beautiful!! It would be amazing to live by the beach and capture weddings like this!

patsy: WHOAAAAAAAAA, nice, NICE, fabulous job sister. They are stunning!!!

Curtis Copeland: Nice work! Beautiful wedding photographs. Thanks for sharing!

Christine Walker: Girl! You are awesome! Thank you so much for making SRGBC look amazing!

Nola Smith: Your pic's took my breath away,amazing picture's.You had beautiful family to take pictures of,once again,amazing!!!

In case you can’t already tell… I have NO time to blog this summer! Just getting everything out on time takes up about 18 hours of every day right now. Fall is around the corner though, so expect me to start spitting out blogs of all the great sessions and weddings this summer when the air cools off and my crazy schedule cools down with it.

Today I wanted to share some photos from Brittany’s bridal shoot. We went out a few days after the wedding to grab a few more shots of Brittany in her beautiful gown and came out with some beautiful images. Tomorrow I’m going to hopefully find some time to blog the wedding as it’s long over due (along with a ton of others!).

This week was a little crazy because my proofing system really started fouling things up around here, so I have a brand new proofing gallery and cart system and I’m already hearing how wonderful it is from the few clients whose galleries have been posted to it. There are a ton more choices, tools, and options that I know everyone will love!

Don’t be afraid to leave me comments on the blog… I would love to hear what you think if you happen to be cruising by!

David F.: These are really good Candice, the last one is my favorite

Sara: I love the driftwood one and the close up, really pretty!

It’s that time of year again! It’s warm downright hot outside, the water is gorgeous, the Destin traffic is heavy, the grocery stores are packed, and there are a ton of families coming to experience it all! I have a ton of beach sessions to blog, but seeing as how I don’t have a single opening for the next two weeks, it might be a while before I get to posting them.

Which brings me to another thought… if you’re contemplating booking a family or beach photo session for July, hurry!! July is filling up quickly and if it’s anything like June, I would suggest booking asap. August too!

This cute family came and we had some fun down at Grayton Beach State Park in the beautiful evening light. Grandma even got in on the fun! I’m just in love with mom’s gorgeous skin here, such a beautiful lady.
