Meet Lisa and Chris!!! These are two totally awesome people with kind hearts and one seriously cool "fur family" !! They invited me out to their new property for the engagement session and I was blown away with how gorgeous this place is. Lisa and Chris plan on building a house and a barn this summer and will be getting married in the new barn in December! I am so excited to see everything come together :) When we started the session the first thing I noticed is that I was walking through a massive field full of free running horses {and trying really really hard to avoid stepping in any horse poo lol!} Once in position I got to play with fur babies number 1 & 2 as we attempted to get both of them to look at me for a quick pose. What adorable pups they were wearing signs stating "Mommy and Daddy are getting married!" and "12-10-16" Next it was on to Lisa and Chris where I enjoyed watching them laugh and giggle as I told them, just have fun! This is always my favorite part of a session because true personalities really come out! Finally it was time to play with fur babies 3 through 9 {big, stomp on your feet, can kill you with one swift kick, fur babies!} I really loved this experience as I got to witness this couple with their majestic looking Clydesdale - how powerful yet gentle he was! As we finished up the session Lisa invited all the horses over to "play" with us and before I knew it I had 6 other horses galloping my way and surrounding me to check me out. One sniffed my hair as the other attempted to eat my shirt-while a bit intimidating, it was a magical experience! I'll never forget how it felt to feel so in tune with nature and the animal kingdom...and of course I'll never forget running across the field flapping my arms like a chicken to demonstrate "this is my space!" haha I'm sure Lisa and Chris will never forget the visual either! Thanks for an awesome session guys; ya'll were great and I'm so looking forward to your wedding in December!

Meet Cali and Chris!!! These two fell in love nearly instantly after meeting at USF several years back. Cali said, "I knew I needed to talk to him the moment I saw him walk into my class!" After many lunch/dinner dates at Chili's they were inseparable. And what a wonderful pair they are :) This is another couple that I just absolutely loved shooting and I am so so happy with the session and the photos! There were so many things about this session that made it so perfect :) First of all-can we all just saw these two have impeccable style!? I freaked when I saw them get out of the car in their first outfit and the next was just as good! The vintage flair and hint of old fashioned style paired so well with the 100+ year old brick streets of downtown Brooksville. This time of year there are pink flowers blooming all over the city and Cali spotted them as soon as we got out of the car-perfect! These two had amazing energy, tons of laughter, and the ability to feel right at home in each other's arms...they are so in love, its beautiful! They told me the day would not be complete without getting into their Lightning jerseys really quickly for a few shots right at the end as they are massive fans. Can't argue with that! Thanks for an amazing session and I cannot wait to photograph your wedding this fall {I'm expecting you to look very dapper, Chris; and Cali, you'll be beautiful} !!! Oh, and best hash tag ever: #WhenAManfreLovesAWoman
Meet Rachel and James!! These two were just amazing and I can't say enough wonderful things about them and this session. I love everything about these photos and am so happy to have had the opportunity to be a part of these guys love story!! And what a story it is! Rachel and James met in 2012 while line dancing and Rachel noticed "the cute blode guy" across the dance floor...three years later while backpacking through Europe James got down on one knee and proposed in front of the Eiffel Tower! It doesn't get much better than that!! I love meeting couples who have amazing energy and a true, natural love for each other. It was so evident watching them play around that they are madly in love - witnessing this is one of the many many reasons I love my job! I cannot wait to photograph their wedding this fall :)
Michelle and Roy are recently engaged and came to me with a unique and fun idea!! As they both have two children each, they decided to incorporate them into the session for what we like to call: "Engagement-with a twist!" It was too funny watching the kids as I told Michelle and Roy to lean in close to each other...and maybe even kiss! The kids covered their eyes, made faces and said "ewww!" The classic response to mom and dad kissing, of course! I did sneak it some time to focus just on Michelle and Roy though and I love the mix of photos we got! This is one adorable family and I know they will all be very happy together! Congrats, guys! :)
Lauren and Mark's engagement session was held in Hernando County, FL. I loved shooting these two, and their persistence was epic- we battled swarms of biting bugs, boaters needing to use the dock, and the rocking of the water beneath us! Lauren came with a lot of props which is always tons of fun-it really helps us get creative! These photos truly show how much love these two have for each other...just look at the way she stares at him {and he stares back}! Another awesome part of this session? These birds stuck around for the entire time, watching and admiring as well :) I can't wait to photograph ya'lls wedding this October!
So excited to be sharing Chris and Mallory's engagement photos! I enjoyed photographing these two so much and cannot wait to capture all their special moments at their wedding this October! Thank you for letting us be a part of your love story :) Mallory and Chris met at the gym they both go to and apparently it was meant to be from the start! After meeting, the two ran into each other all of the time outside of the gym and soon formed a relationship that is just so apparently wonderful. He asked-she said yes. And so the love story begins! <3
Meet Jacque and Jarrod! These two are amazing :) Jarrod loves Jacque to the moon and back and its so apparent that he would do anything for her! People like this make my heart smile! I am excited to say that they have also asked us to be a part of their wedding day next March and we are so happy to be included in this special celebration! Thank you for letting us be a part of this journey! We got some adorable details about the engagement during their session and its just too cute not to share. When I asked how Jarrod proposed, Jacque told me that they went to breakfast and he had written "Will you marry me?" on a stack of pancakes. She didn't see it at first and he had to keep telling her to look! When she finally did she of course said YES! :) Congratulations you two!
