Love is in The Air

this was a first for me, a noisy and memorable first that I highly recommend to any couples looking for a unique Wedding Day experience

The Dream Bride

With that being said, there have been some very fond memories made while working with some of the brides that I have met, lots of laughs shared and so many priceless images (and videos sometimes) captured. Working with this adventurous bride was exactly that and then some. Never one to turn down an adventure and especially one with my camera, I agreed to traverse to this magical railroad spot on Heather’s Wedding Day. Through the brambles and mud, bloodied arm dripping on the dress and all, Heather never stopped smiling and laughing. Ever a trooper with a vision, Heather mentioned this spot behind her backyard wedding before she said I Do and I said Hell Yes I Do want to go there and we did, it was perfect and exactly what she had in mind which is all that matters.

It wasn’t the location that made Heather one of The Dream Brides that I have worked with, it was her authentic joy, her creative energy colliding with the adrenaline of her wedding day that made for magical memories for all of us.

Elopement at Castle Otttis

Considering that I have eloped twice, perhaps i am biased but eloping is the best way to go and i would do it again (and again).

“According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the earliest use of the word “elope” was in the 14th century, where the root of the word “aloper” meant, “leap.” But by the 17th century, the term elope held a very specific definition: “To run away from her husband in the company of a paramour.” While its history may sound scandalous, eloping nowadays is hardly shocking. If anything, it’s becoming more and more common for modern couples.” - Simply Eloped

If you’re on the fence regarding a traditional wedding vs an intimate elopement, throw this option in the Wedding Day Binder: Elope at The Castle Otttis in Vilano Beach, FL.

Backyard Weddings

If there’s a corner of nature in your backyard wedding, we will find it and use it !

Letting the light lead the way is always my route when it comes to wedding portraits and a backyard wedding is never any different. I arrive way early for your wedding day so I can take my time to scope it all out and plan ahead for your portraits which we will hopefully be shooting during the +golden hour+ but fear not if your timeline just doesn’t work out for it, we can make magic at any time of the day, all we need is authentic love !

Christine + Alex had the perfect day in their parents backyard; we shot their portraits pretty early afternoon with no problems besides a touch of sweat but that’s what Florida Weddings are all about! If you’re considering a backyard wedding, this is your sign to DO IT!
