Katrina & Seth . Orlando Wedding Photographer . St. Augustine, FL

Getting Ready Hotel: Casa Monica
Ceremony Location: Lightner Museum
Reception Location: The White Room Loft

I LOVE destination weddings and this wedding was a destination wedding for everyone that attended.  Unfortunately, Katrina and Seth had some rough times with other photographers double booking on them so when they contacted me they were a bit scared to say the least.  I was available, they booked and that was the end of their booking troubles.  We traveled to St. Augustine a day early to scope out the venue but quickly realized that I had shot at the Lightner Museum back in 2008.

The Lightner Museum is probably one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever had the pleasure of working at.  The architecture is absolutely stunning and when you fuse that with a couple like Katrina and Seth, it makes for one of my favorite weddings of all times!

Katrina and Seth were a blast!  It’s always interesting when a client books you over the phone without ever meeting.  But once we finally met, we meshed like we had met 50 times before.

Probably one of my favorite hair and make-up shots of all time!

Megan & Justin . Orlando Engagement Photographer . Gainesville, FL

So let me start this post by saying that Mike Richards nor does any of his staff advise of such low standards! j/k

Seriously though, Megan and Justin are truly a match made in heaven.  On my way to photograph their engagement session up in Gainesville at the University of Florida, I received a speeding ticket that brought my mood down, briefly.  But once we met up at the UF field, my attitude completely changed it it was game time and there is no chance of being down around these two.  We had a blast!  We got to shoot on the field, in the stadium and throughout the historical district of the University of Florida.  I am so excited for their wedding later this year!

Orlando Wedding Photographer . Black & White Photography

A few weeks back I got invited to shoot second with friend and fellow photographer, Lindsey Tropf of http://purebylindsey.com.  This wedding took place in Gainesville and since most of my wedding images showcase bold and bright colors, I thought this would be a great opportunity to create an entire blog post in black and white.  I really hope my readers enjoy this series as much as you do my color images!
