Carolyn & Stephen... St. Augustine Engagement Session

Loved their session..Though it was quite chilly, they didn't once complain about it- they just jumped right into the session with both feet and had fun until the last frame was shot!

It was my first visit to the St. Augustine Lighthouse~ and worth the drive for anyone wanting something different to do. The staff was wonderful and knowledgeable and I will definitely be back soon.

You are both so wonderful and I am so proud to call you friends! Many thanks (and I can never say it enough) to my amazing friend Wes Lester for all of his incredible insight, ideas and help. Enjoy! ~S.

Engagement Session ~ Jacksonville, FL Kristen & Lewis

And the slide show... The more I edit and get into these images, the more I absolutely love them! They are just so much fun! Gorgeous you guys are together! Enjoy!~ S.

Jacksonville Engagement Session ~ Carolyn & Steven

Just a sneak peek~ I promise more is to come later.... but how adorable are they! Wes and I headed down to St. Augustine with Carolyn and Steven last weekend and normally it takes a while to warm up and get a flow going- so when my first few images of the day became my favorites I have to question my theories of photography over the past few years... They very easily were able to let the world (and cameras) drift from around them and really were the only two people in the world... That is a very beautiful definition of love my friends ~one that is full of God and one that puts the other first. I always say that if you put God first in your marriage, everything else will just fall into place.... yours is so simple but it speaks so loudly. I love you guys and am so proud to be part of your very special day. Enjoy! ~S.

Kristen & Lewis

Meet Kristen and Lewis... Fun, playful and simply adorable are they. Anytime you plan a shoot you think and talk about how you "want" it to go.... the reality of how it turns out is always quite different. This was just so- different but definetly better! The Russell House was built in 1875 and is full of old world charm. They could not have chosen a better location- every thing about it was just perfect. A huge thank you to Ty and her family for taking time out of their day to come and let us shoot and to Bailes for assisting me. I hope you enjoy the images... I can't wait to dig into the rest of them- we have so many fun ones to go through. ~S.

Kelly & Jacob~ A Fun Engagement Session

I am having so much fun with this slide show! A group of us friends/photog buddies came together to play with some lighting techiniques and came up with some really great images of Kelly and Jacob. Thanks so much Ron and Meghan for sharing your images with me!. You guys had some awesome shots! I love how we can all be shooting the same exact subject and have a completely different view and perspective. It is exactly why I don't shoot weddings alone... that and I love having a friend to work with for the day... Hope you enjoy it guys~ I certainly am! ~S.

Michael & Cyndy... St. Augustine, FL

I had the pleasure of working with Michael and Cyndy for their wedding in St. Augustine~ Theirs was simply sweet. Their friends and family all gathered in love as they said "I do!" with laughter and bright Florida sunshine! To celebrate their vows we headed over to one of my favorite little spots~ The Columbia House... you can never go wrong with good food and wonderful service! My love and well wishes to you both. Thank you so much for trusting me to such a beautiful day in your new life together! And many thanks to my dear friend Wes for helping me to capture so many great moments! Enjoy! ~S.

------ A Little Light on Kelly and Jacob.... An Engaging Workshop

Workshops are fun and productive... but even more so when you are surrounded by your closest friends where you can laugh and cut up along the way! Kelly and Jacob are getting married next October and you can tell with how they are with each other that they are so comfortable and at ease in each other's arms... love that look of love in couples. Thanks Ron for hosting this hands on session with us. We can all use a little practice and learning experience (me more than everyone else I assure you!) but it was fun hanging out with Stacy, Megan, Wes, Ron, Renzo, Joyce & Christy. We are all very talented and it means so much to me to come together to share what we know and pick each other's brains a little bit... It isn't very often that we get to do that! Big huggs to each of you- especially our fearless couple for being photographed by so many of us at once! It was a blast-Enjoy! ~S.

Jimmy, Genora & Eli Family Portraits

Life- is the one word I would use to describe Jimmy, Genora and Eli... They are all just so full of energy and have such a nice spirit about them. They all carry a great smile and possess such a zest for life! I love being around people who are very upbeat- makes my job so not like a job at all! It was a pleasure spending time with you guys and love Dan Zanes btw... He is great. Enjoy and hope to see you guys at the St. John's Riverkeeper soon! ~S.
