Next up! Another photographer family
I feel so special to have such a great friend trust me with this job. I went out to California a few weeks ago to shoot his beautiful family and two weddings with my friend Sam Hassas. Sam and Monica invited me into their home with their boys and we spent several days shooting weddings and ended the trip with this family shoot in Capitola, California. Thanks for the love and hospitality Monica and Sam!
Oh and as promised, Sam made some of his famous pizza for me… It’s all in the Hass-auce. Delicious!
Erin and Jason were married at Palafox Wharf in Pensacola on a sunny Sunday this Spring. The second Erin put on her dress, I was in awe. I can’t say I’ve ever seen a gown fit so perfectly, like it was literally made for her. Erin and Jason decided that a little meeting between the two of them prior to the ceremony would be just what they needed. After that, we spent some time on portraits, followed by their ceremony on the deck of the venue. There were plenty of tears shed during their ceremony, which was beautifully sweet. The reception that followed inside was beautiful and filled with details, many of which were handcrafted by Erin.
Katie and Josh were married at Bentley’s on the Bay in Santa Rosa Beach. Their colorful blue and yellow destination wedding palette suited Katie’s personality perfectly. After their beautiful ceremony under the willow tree, Katie and Josh entertained their guests out under the stars on the deck at Bentley’s. Sugar Lilly Sweet Shop provided the amazing desserts on the dessert bar. The cake pops were SO good that I ordered a few dozen a couple weeks later for my little boy’s birthday party. I highly recommend everyone try the brownie pops. Amazing. Rachel Kozloff Events, from Katie and Josh’s hometown in Georgia, took care of pulling together all of the details and was a pleasure to work with. Katie and Josh honeymooned in the gorgeous Eleuthera, Bahamas!
Congratulations Katie and Josh!
Amanda and Joel’s October wedding at Anna’s Veranda in Inlet Beach was featured in the latest issue of The Knot – Florida magazine. This issue hits newsstands on June 27th all over the Southeastern US, so be sure you pick up a copy. Congrats to Amanda and Joel on their wedding and the upcoming arrival of their newest family addition which I believe to be a baby GIRL!
Angela and Matt were married in the Rosemary Beach Town Hall courtyard, followed by a reception inside the Town Hall. Their families came from all over the country for their Destination Wedding weekend. The bride’s dress was a beautiful creation from a boutique in New Orleans. Angela is a talented graphic designer and she designed all of the amazing paper details for their “big day”. Of course I loved that she made a special second line parasol for Matt… Matt works for NASA, so his parasol was a decked out, hand painted solar system! One of a kind, for sure.
Angela and Matt… Y’all really pulled together a fantastic event and I wish you an equally fantastic marriage.
