Jessica + Chris : San Marco Anniversary Shoot

San Marco, Jacksonville, Florida

San Marco | Jacksonville, Florida

I have lived in Jacksonville for years and can’t believe I’ve never shoot in San Marco. I love the historic downtown and so happy when Jessica requested it as her anniversary location. Anniversary shoots are a great opportunity for a couple to celebrate their love and rekindle the fun from when they first got engaged. Jessica and Chris met while in school at Penn State. On a club retreat, this unaware couple had no idea they would meet the love of their life. Chris sat with some friends on the roof of a cabin overlooking a group of freshmen when he noticed Jessica standing nearby holding a farm kitten. He took this as an opportunity to introduce himself and the rest was history. They were married three years ago in Jessica’s hometown of  Moorpark, California. Still completely in love, Chris’s favorite thing about Jess is her sense of humor.  “No matter the circumstance, she never fails to make me laugh – whether we’re just watching TV on the couch or she’s lying in a hospital bed.”  Jessica loves that “he’s not afraid to have fun – he’ll climb a tree, go onstage for improv, or mountain biking. He’s always teaching me to be more light-hearted and not take myself so seriously.” After exploring San Marco and Treaty Oak with Jessica and Chris I am confident that they have many more anniversaries in front of them.

    Meet Oliver Klein : Newborn Portrait

    Jacksonville Beach | Florida

    It was such a pleasure meeting Emily, Matt and their newborn baby boy, Oliver. They were so relaxed for new parents and everything just flowed smoothly. It also helped that Oliver was nice and sleepy when I arrived. I was so happy for all the natural lighting coming in through the french doors of their master bedroom – it was the perfect setting. After the family pictures were done, we played with some shots like putting Oliver on his dad’s surfboard. I am so happy for the Klein family and can’t wait to see their adventure unfold.

      Tiffany + Daniel : A BallenIsles Country Club Wedding

      BallenIsles Country Club

      BallenIsles Country Club | Palm Beach Gardens, Florida

      You have love living in Florida. Especially when you can shoot a wedding in December and its a bright and breezy day. These Gators meet in school while studying medicine. Tiffany is a pediatrician and Daniel is working toward being an oncologist. They are the sweetest couple and so laid back. Because their ceremony was in the evening, it was important for us to get all the pictures in early. We did their fist look and portraits on the beautiful golf course of BallenIsles Country Club. My favorite spot was near a large banyan tree. Tiffany and Daniel’s wedding was full of tradition and remembrance. Tiffany’s mom passed away and to remember her, guest wore a small crystal ducks over their heart – that way her presence was felt throughout the day. I love the symbolism during the ceremony where the couple breaks the glass, which represents their marriage will last as long as it takes to put the glass perfectly back together (forever). Their family and friends made the reception with heartfelt toasts, silly photo booth props and the hora – the dance where the bride and groom are raised on chairs. It was a joyous day and one I will remember fondly.

        Ashley + Sean : A Jacksonville Golf and Country Club Wedding

        Jacksonville Golf and Country Club | Jacksonville, Florida

        I always start my day shooting the details, the primping and all the moments in between. My favorite part this morning had to be the shoes (her deep red bejeweled Badgley Mischka heels were awesome) and while shooting the “jumping on the bed” shot one of her bride’s maid fell off – it was hilarious and I’ll share that one Facebook. Ashley and Sean planned their outdoor wedding at the Jacksonville Golf and Country Club and despite a sudden downpour, they kept their spirits up. By the time we were ready for their first look the rain was gone and the overcast sky made the best lighting. Ashley and Sean are a carefree couple with the best sense of humor. They made the day fun to shoot and knew how to throw a party. Their reception was complete with a live band, photo booth and frosting on their faces. I hope this energy stays with them forever and know there will never be a dull moment.

          Kari and Chris : A Riverside Pavilion Wedding

          The Riverside Pavilion | Daytona Beach, Florida

          The morning we arrived at Kari’s parent’s house, everything was already in full swing. The girls were curling, laughing and couldn’t be more excited – their energy was contagious! Kari and Chris choice to do a first look at a nearby park. It was a beautiful setting on the intracoastal, but windy was an understatement. Poor Kari’s care was whipping everywhere, however this couple were total pros and didn’t let it bother them a bit. My favorite part about shooting Kari and Chris was their enthusiasm and pure love for one another. They are a perfect match. They joined family and friends at The Riverside Pavilion; a charming riverfront location tucked away on the banks of the Halifax River. It was a joyous occasion and truly a blending of two families. I look forward to keeping up with Kari and Chris and wish them years of happiness.
