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!

Anne and Pat were great!!! They were down for anything and even climbed some trees! We had some amazing luck during this session as I drove through massive storms the entire way to the location...had an hour and a half clearing of no rain...and then I drove home through more massive storms. I'm so happy that we were able to fit everything in that they wanted without being rained out! Before the session Anne came to me with an inspiration photo that she wanted to recreate-a photo taken of her and Pat the day they first said "I love you" to each other at a tail gating event. As she leaned on his shoulder and he smiled up at me I could feel the memories flooding back of what it must have been like for those two as they realized they wanted to be together forever. Love stories get to me! And I love these two being in love :)
I loved shooting Brianne & Kyle-not just because they are awesome {which they are!!} but also because it was such an adventure. Downtown Tampa is pretty much new territory for me as I'm more of the nature/country/sunset kind of gal...but this was too much fun! We walked all around downtown Tampa shooting in the streets {while evading cars and timing the stop lights to see how much time we had in the middle of the road} and then making it over to the waterfront as the sun sunk below the horizon to get some awesome night shots! During this session I laid down on several downtown dirty roads, rolled around in the grass, and we all sweat like we've never sweat before! But it was all worth it-just look at the result. I love the diversity of the photos in this session and the great ideas Brianne came with! I cannot wait to photograph these two next February as they say "I Do"!!
My goodness, where to begin with these two!? Aren't they just the cutest couple you've ever seen? :) We met Casey and Don down at St Pete beach for an evening engagement session as the sun went down. Clint and I had been on the beach for a few hours before they got there, walking up and down and back and forth searching for the most perfect location(s) for their photos...and I am so happy with what we found! A mix of romance, elegance, playful fun and most of all beautiful love! I have to give props to Casey for stickin' it out during our session because it was freezing out! Silly Florida weather. But she did great and looked beautiful the whole time. This was C. R Newman's first engagement session on the beach and I gotta say, I'm sold!!! :)
Congrats to Anie and Peter who are freshly engaged!!! These two love birds have been engaged for just one month and were clearly flying high on love! I asked Anie how Peter proposed to her and she told me that he rented out a movie theater to play a slideshow for her and propose while watching their love story unfold-how stinkin' romantic is that!! Very impressive, Peter, very impressive!! Their session was the second of the day, and it seemed that the rain, wind and cold was not going to let up. But it certainly didn't break the spirit of Anie and Peter who ran around playing with balloons, kissing in the mist, and cuddling under an umbrella as the rain passed. You guys did great and we were so happy to be a part of this special time!
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!
Last weekend we traveled to Tampa (I know...such a journey!) to shoot Lesly and Frank. These two showed up dressed impeccably well, and I just loved their style. From classy and elegant, to trendy downtown style...they sure knew how to put on their best look!! This was our first engagement session downtown, and we got to experience some new locations that made for some unique and different backdrops for us! Thanks for a great day, and we hope you have a great honeymoon guys!! :)
