Lauren and David are getting married this coming May in Lake Mary, Florida.  For their engagement session, we went to downtown Gainesville which is where they first met. Then we headed to Lake Alice and “The Swamp”, both special spots for these UF grads. Unfortunately, I met Lauren and David after we had already booked a wedding for their date.  BUT at least we were lucky enough to get to do their engagement session!  We are honored that we got to share in part of your wedding experience Lauren and David!  We wish you all the best!  Maybe since we don’t get to shoot the wedding… just come back to us when the babies come?!!

We shot Emily and Trey’s engagement session at different pieces of family property in Alachua, Florida.  The most special spot was “Lane’s Pond,” which is where Trey proposed. It’s also where he asked Emily’s dad for his blessing to marry her. Trey joked that he was slightly worried he’d end up at the bottom of the lake if Mr. Emerson didn’t like the idea.

Gorgeous day!  Don’t worry guys… we’ve ordered in an equally beautiful day for the wedding! Can’t wait!

Planning the engagement session with our couples is a fun and revealing process. We hear about special places and experiences they’ve shared, and we also get an idea of the styles of our bride and groom and their vision for the wedding.  High school sweethearts, Cheltse and Travis wanted to shoot at a few places special to them.  The family’s property was not only a personal, but beautiful choice.  During her childhood, many family pictures had been taken under the majestic oak, so Cheltse wanted to take pictures of her new family there.  Next, we headed to a spot where Cheltse had envisioned being the perfect place to show off a little more of her personality.  We LOVED the train track idea.  Luckily the rain held and the sun set slowly.  It was one of those sessions where we were giggling while shooting…

Megan asked me for a romantic, but urban location idea.  Hmmm… took me a minute, but then thought of the perfect location.  Downtown Alachua is a lovely location with adorable storefronts and several nooks with lots of fun photo ops.  Megan and John were married this weekend at the Baughman Center with their reception at Sweetwater Branch Inn. Those images coming soon!

The four of us had such fun together, we ended up having dinner afterward at Conastogas! We learned all about how they met, their families, their future plans.  It was such a nice time.  Megan is also our Footstone Ink Model!  Check out how stunning she was!  And just wait to you see her on her wedding day!
