I shot this engagement session with a friend who is really new to the industry and wanted me to come out and give him a hand with his first engagement session. Unfortunately, I don’t know much about the couple other than that they are AWESOME and TOTALLY up for anything!
I hope you enjoy the photos as much as I enjoyed working with these two!

First off, I want to let everyone know that Kristen is my first 2011 senior and wow, what a way to start off the year! Kristen is the current Miss Teen Daytona Beach and after working with her for 5 minutes, I could see why!
Congrats Kristen on all your amazing accomplishments and I wish you the best!

I shot this engagement party for another photographer who couldn’t make it so I don’t know too much about the couple and it is really ashame, they are AMAZING!! They are actually the perfect couple for me but they’ve already got a photographer so no worries.
I had a blast for the few hours that we spent together and they are so easy to photograph! Well, here are a few of my favs!

Heather and Steve were absolutely incredible! Steve is one of those grooms who doesn’t mind getting his photo taken and was all about making my job as easy as possible. Heather, well, as I said when I posted their engagement session, has one of the most beautiful smiles I’ve come across. You could see the love they had for each other when they both cried as she walked down the isle.
It rained hard for a little while before the ceremony and just like I thought, it stopped 5 mins before and allowed me to capture one of the best, hurricane’esk ceremonies I’ve ever photographed!
Well congrats Heather and Steve, I wish you both all the best the world has to offer!
Probably my favorite shoe shot of all time!
Remember the tears I wrote about?

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!
Oh how I love the lines of the dress on the right!
There was another bridal party on the grounds so of course, that calls for a fight of the bridal parties! 
Love me some sun flare!
I don’t know of anyone in the area getting ring shots like me! j/k
