Engagement sessions like this one may just turn me into a morning person. A couple in love, a gorgeous misty morning, and a cool autumn breeze… there was magic in the air.

I love you today,
I'll love you tomorrow.
When we're in love,
Only good things can follow.

Happy Valentine's Day!

We've been pretty quiet on social media this year as we figure out how best to serve our couples through the COVID-19 pandemic... But we *have* been up to lots of exciting things.

Not only have we moved back to Gainesville ( ) and are settling into our forever home. I have been taking the extra time at home, in my office, to sharpen my post-production skills so I can offer even more creative options for our engagement and wedding clients.

No photographers or people in love were harmed during the making of this image... I Photoshopped the lightning into the image 😁

I've always loved how limitless my options are in , but takes things to a whole other level.

I feel deeply that no person is *just* one thing. We cannot be defined by a single word, a title, or idea... least of all, by the color of our skin. The beauty of our humanity is our complexity.

I cannot pretend to know the pain, fear, or frustration of those marginalized, abused, and killed because of the color of their skin. But I can still be a light in this darkness; we all have that power.

My prayer is that we each find the strength of mind, character, and heart to be a part of the movement that stomps out hate. To love one another as ourselves, without conditions or limitations. May we see each other as a reflection of our own humanity and a unique, ever-present opportunity to bring joy rather than sorrow.

"Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me bring love. Where there is offence, let me bring pardon. Where there is discord, let me bring union." ~St. Francis of Assisi

Black Lives Matter. You Matter. There is strength in kindness.

All love is beautiful, but my favorite type is the kind that makes you laugh and love with your entire soul.⠀

Moving back to Gainesville is an adventure that I have been dreaming about since we left after graduation ( ).

I am so incredibly grateful to have the chance to call home again. As we regroup and start building our business here, I wanted to reflect on another great adventure.

This is one of my favorite shots from our trip to ( ). It reminds me how small we all are in the grand scheme of things... And yet how large an impact we can have on the world around us if we so choose.

We choose where to stand, how to harness light, and how we want to share our vision with those around us... Here's to making choices that bring more beauty and love into the world.

I can hardly believe it: engagement season is right around the corner! Are you (our someone you know) thinking about proposing between November and February? Need help planning how to pop the question? Just want someone to catch those exciting moments?

Give me, your local, friendly, photo ninja, a call 📷😁😎

One of the things I love about being in the wedding world is that we get to meet and work work some of the most wonderful creative people, in absolutely gorgeous places.

This evening, I had the pleasure of shooting Tiger Lily Flowers's floral designs in one of the The Ritz-Carlton, Sarasota's ballrooms. DJ Imminent (one of my absolute favorites in the biz) was setting up, and you could just feel the energy in the room.

Cheers to all the love in weddings and all the people behind the scenes that make dreams come true.
