Our first wedding weekend back in action was a double hitter! On Saturday we got to celebrate with Annette + Ethan…and what a celebration it was!

Every. Single. Detail. at their wedding was literally a labor of their love! From the doors at the ceremony site to the cocktail hour lawn games. From their initial swing to the whiskey barrel guest book. They handmade it all!

Their adorable dog, Sig, made the cutest ring bearer and a group toast from their kids filled the room with both laughter and tears!

Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Graham! 🧡🩷
Thank you so much for having us out with our friends from Party Starters Tampa to be a part of your special day!

There could not have been anything more fitting than for Dana + Matt’s wedding to be my very first wedding back after healing from my broken neck!

You probably recognize them because only 5 weeks before their wedding we shot their engagement session, which was my very first shoot of any kind since my accident!

For our first wedding back we got to hang out with Dana + Matt and all of our wonderful friends from Spartan Manor! On Friday the 13th at that!! 💀

It was such a fun night filled with tons of dancing, laughs and, yes, some surprise planned spookiness!

Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. McCoy! 💜

Sand Key Beach 10.04.23

It looked like Mother Nature might get the best of us at this shoot when it started raining completely out of nowhere right as we were all getting out of our cars in the parking lot!

We decided to give it a go for as long as we could and it ended up being the absolute right call! It sprinkled for just a few minutes and then cleared right up! A gorgeous Clearwater sunset sky even made an appearance for us! 🌅

Anjali + Ksh*tij have been together for almost 7 years and got engaged in April of this year while they were vacationing in Puerto Rico 😍

We can’t wait for their wedding this spring at the beautiful The Lemon Orchard Venue on the Lake!

We outlasted an incoming storm this night just long enough to sneak in Alysia and Will’s engagement session!

The story of how they met is a Bourbon + Lace first…they met in jail! Just kidding! 😅 But, they did meet AT a jail where they were both working 😁

They really made this shoot fun and unique by incorporating a few different props that they brought with them!

We can’t wait for their wedding this spring at The Lemon Orchard Venue on the Lake!

Fort DeSoto Beach

This Sunday evening sunset shoot with Rhea and Seth was my 2nd session back behind the camera!

The ocean breeze was the perfect compliment to the Florida sunshine and we had the best time during their shoot! Their personalities are THE BEST and their laughter is infectious!

They were also complete troopers when I decided to slice my foot open on a barnacle 🤦‍♀️😂 But we finished the shoot and it was so worth it! Haha!

We can’t wait for their wedding at the beautiful The Lemon Orchard Venue on the Lake next fall!

Guys! This was my VERY FIRST time picking up my camera since May 3rd! It felt SO good to be back behind the lens! 📸 There could not have been a better couple than Dana + Matt for my first session back!

We laughed through their entire shoot! They are the perfect balance of laid-back and serious and they have the best sense of humor!

They met at Biketoberfest in Daytona in 2018 and 4 years later, in 2022, Matt proposed at Bike Week on stage in front of everyone!
(The video is on Main Street Station’s page and is definitely worth the watch! 😍)

We can’t wait to capture their wedding at Spartan Manor in just a couple of weeks!

It has been WAY too long since I’ve posted on this page. Four long months to be exact. I don’t typically use this space as an avenue for sharing personal information, but today’s update is too big to not be shared!

*Many of you on this page are past, current or future clients and may be aware of some (or all) of this already.*

On May 3rd, on my way home from an engagement shoot, I was involved in a very serious car accident. My car flipped front to back 5 times and I was lucky enough to walk away from that crash only sustaining a broken neck. It’s so crazy how now, 4 months later, I am able to say that I was LUCKY to have only broken my neck!

A second life update that ties into this story: At the time of the accident Anthony and I had recently found out that we are expecting our first child. I was 11 weeks pregnant at the time of the crash and we are blessed and grateful to say that the baby and I both made it through the accident!

After 90 days of living in an immobilizing brace from chin to belly button, I received clearance to remove the brace without needing surgical intervention!

This week, (per Dr.’s orders) 4 weeks after the brace came off, I was FINALLY able to go back to shooting and shot my first 2 engagement sessions in 4 months! 📸 I can’t wait to share these pictures with you and catch up on posting events from earlier this year!

We are now 29 weeks into our pregnancy and are so excited that we will be welcoming a little boy to our family in November!

I absolutely cannot express in words how grateful I am for all of my wonderful clients! You guys have been the BEST through this season of my life and business! The amount of prayers, well wishes, cards, text messages and love that Anthony and I received from you all has meant the entire world to us!!

We are SO DARN EXCITED to get back to doing what we both love! We have a very limited wedding and event schedule over the next couple of months as we prepare for little man’s arrival, but we will be back in full force beginning February ‘24! 🩵🤍

The One Where They Get M•A•R•R•I•E•D 💍

It’s wedding day for Jamie and Eric and we couldn’t be more excited! What started out as an amazing friendship is coming full circle today as they start the next chapter of their lives together!

We met up about 3 weeks ago for this super stinkin’ cute engagement session! We started the evening at Sims Park and ended the night at the cutest little ice cream shop in downtown New Port Richey!🍦

We can’t wait to see you guys this evening at the beautiful Spartan Manor 🤍

It’s been almost a month since Elmarys + Chris finally got to celebrate their marriage with all of the people who are most important to them!

They are the sweetest couple ever! And their love and adoration for each other really lights up a room! They never lost sight of that despite the stresses leading up to wedding day!

No detail went unplanned from a gorgeous ceremony circular arch to gorgeous unique centerpieces to a breathtaking dancing on a cloud effect for their choreographed first dance. And a heartfelt first touch with a private vow exchange 🥹

Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Admire! 💍

Last month we had the pleasure of celebrating love, authenticity and forever happiness with these amazing girls!

So much time, effort and planning went into this perfect day and they totally pulled it off!

Three completely different, yet entirely complimenting, bridal outfits, the sweetest private vow exchange complimented by the perfect sunset & a surprise choreographed bridal party dance that blew everyone away!

The love and support from their friends and families was plentiful and unwavering 🤍

Congratulations Girls! 💍

One month. 🤍

On this day last month we celebrated with Meredith, Rhyan & all of their friends and family as they said I Do on their 5-year anniversary!

They could not have asked for a more perfect day! The weather was beautiful all day and we were graced with the most perfect golden sunset.

Everyone had such a great time at their reception, they literally partied all night long! And our bride and groom dashed their way through the glow of a million sparklers as they ended their night off to start their new lives as husband and wife!
(Also, they had the cutest, sweetest little flower girl that you ever did see!)

Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Nelson! 🍾
Thank you for having us as part of your special say!

Spartan Manor

It’s been fourteen days since Ana + Kuma officially became husband and wife! ❤️

They did an excellent job bringing their vision to life, leaving no detail untouched! Including a First Look twist that left our groom silenced by his laughter!
(Though he did eventually stop laughing long enough to mutter “Get Out” and point his Best Man towards the door! 🤣)

Their friends, families & kiddos had the best time and kept the dance floor going all night!

Congratulations Mr. + Mrs. Hardesty! 💍

Thank you so much for having us out to be part of your special day with our friends from Spartan Manor and Party Starters Tampa!
