Ashlynn & Juan getting Married

Getting married at the Heathrow Country Club this November. Juan, is the brother of Jackie whose wedding I did last August and Ashlynn was one of the bridesmaids. This will be another wedding that I will already know several people. It makes it that much more fun and comfortable.

See you soon,

Jill & Steve at the Omni at Champions Gate

Well, I remember asking Jill what she and Steve did for work. When Jill told me that they are rocket scientists that made my giggle since we have all used that term once or twice in our lives. But in this case it was true. Both working at the Cape. These are two smart people, but can honestly tell you they are a FUNNY couple who I instantly felt a great vibe from. Steve is a naturally good hearted and a "regular" guy. Who just also happens to be easy to like.

Jill & Steve agreed to see each other prior to the ceremony to gives us more time & get more relaxed images. It is ALWAYS so special to see "1st look" reactions. Jill had one of the most AMAZING dresses I have ever seen. She looked stunning and it shows in every picture. I said this before, but Jill's eyes are the most AMAZING color green I have ever seen.

Everybody involved from Champions Gate Omni Hotel to Eventfully yours planning was fantastic and the night was just perfect.

They should be getting back from the European honeymoon today ( I am soooo jealous!)

Thank you again for making me feel so mush a part of your day.

Until next time,

Lauren & Shaun in Winter Park

I must admit I do find winter park so much fun to do engagement sessions at. And, although I have sooo many locations, many of my couples prefer the "Winter Park" look/feel. So, we met late Sunday to get some sweet images. Shaun, is one of those relaxed guys that was unaffected by the camera. Often times I hear from my grooms that they are not good in front of the camera. I always tell them this time will be different. This time I did not need to make that speech. Both Shaun & Lauren were natural and we had a blast.

Can't wait for the wedding in July of 2010.

Until next time

Kristen & Jason Esession at Uptown Altamonte

It`s been a while since I blogged but will catch up soon I hope. This will be a great place to start. 

Kristen & Jason met up with me at uptown Altamonte @6:30pm to have some fun with thier e-esession. And WOW!!! was it still HOT!!.But we still managed to get some really beautiful images. 

Jason, like most of us guys wasn't the biggest fan of being in photos, but I promised him that I would make it as painless and as fast as possible. I think he did fantastic!

Kristen, is a natural in front of the camera her eyes are just AMAZING. I can`t wait to capture the wedding day next month. Check back to see them in about a month. 

I think even though it was blazing hot & humid these came out pretty "cool"...LOL sorry couldn't help myself.

Until next time,

Fire works with Juslin & Bobby

I blogged about Juslin several months ago. We actually met in a funny way. I was originally contacted by Juslins sister Maggie who was getting married this past March. Before I met w/ Maggie about photographing her wedding I had explained that I already had a verbal commitment from another couple, who that same weekend formally reserved me. I thought that was the last time we would talk. Until just a couple of months later I got an email that said "my sister recommended you". Well, not really knowing who that was I was pleasantly surprised to find out is was Maggie. Even though she had found another photographer she remembered me and suggested Juslin meet with me. Well, that was about 6 or so months ago. And just this past July 4th I had the honor of documenting Juslin & Bobby`s wedding in Winter Garden.

Bobby, your speech at the alter was very moving and you did a fantastic job. It`s obvious that you were already "family". The love & respect you have for each other is quite obvious.

Just days after the honeymoon., Bobby & Juslin moved to Oklahoma..BURRRR! where Bobby will be a local sports caster for a news station there.

Great people, all of you. I thank you so much for allowing me to document this special day.

A very special thank you to Maggie, who made this all possible.

Best Wishes,
SC

Ke`Shea & Kelvin at the Omni

WOW! talk about a beautiful wedding surrounded by a whole bunch of fun people and you have a party that looked like a wedding. Ke'Shea & Kelvin are 2 sweet types. And Kelvin, well he came up with some really funny things to say and also to photograph. At every wedding I find myself having a connection and this one was no different. When the father daughter dance happened I saw Ke`sheas father get very emotional and EVERY person in that huge room could FEEL the love and pure emotion that was inside this man. I pictured myself dancing w/ my daughter who is only 4yrs old right now, at her wedding and I must admit I was extremely touched. It was a very powerful moment for me and I was soooo glad I was able to capture it for Ke`Shea & Kelvin.

Best Wishes to you.

The Ortiz Crew family session

This past week I had a blast photographing this FANTASTIC family. We spent about an hour on this HOT and humid day. Within minutes everyone had sweat beads running down there faces. But that didn`t stop us. Vicky, who as usual looked fabulous and as if she was going into a fashion shoot was accompanied by her husband who I wish I could say looked equally as good, but I can't. Luckily, the focus was on the kids, Alec, Emma & the Oldest Marc who currently attends USF in Tampa (go Bulls) and is quite a good catch. Good looking and smart with a very bright future ahead of him. What else needs to be said about Alec & Emmy. Take one look at them & you just want to eat them up there soooooo delicious!  Without question 2 of the cutest kids you will EVER see.

I just wish Andy, the father was half as good looking and as well behaved as the rest of the family. Vicky, You are an angel. I know he`s a work in progress, but PLEASE be patient and continue to work on him.

In all seriousness these guys are THE BEST! and for this blog post I will say MY FAVORITE (in laws) that`s right We are family and thus the reason I get to give Andy my bro in law a hard time here. He also happens to be the god father of my son.

I will soon be heading to Atlanta to photograph another sister in law who will be my next "favorite" for my blog post...LOL

Until Next time,
