Brook and Cole’s Wedding at Carillon Beach was absolutely perfect! Their wedding took place on The Green with their reception on Market Street. We were able to get away for a few minutes and grab some sunset photos of just the two of them on our beautiful beaches. Check out a few highlight images!
Destin Wedding Photographer
Cutie Pie Braylin
I keep thinking more and more that I would like to offer sessions of children just being children… nothing posed… me just going back to my photo journalistic roots and watching and capturing. How ADORABLE is little Braylin?!! I snapped just a few frames of him while I met with Heather and Nick to photograph a portion of their maternity session recently in Seagrove Beach, Florida and caught this little cutie looking at me like… “WHO is This lady?”
Lindsey and Sean’s HUGE blog post!!!
Lindsey and Sean were married recently at the Emerald Grande in Destin, Florida. The festivities started off with a Mexican themed rehearsal dinner filled with gifts and margaritas! Lindsey planned her wedding far in advance of most of my clients and hoped as everyone does, for sunny weather… unfortunately there was light rain during her ceremony which made it all that much more important for me to help her get AWESOME pictures from her Trash the Dress session a few days later. Which I think we did! Friends and family came from all over the country to help these two lovebirds celebrate their nuptials… and they didn’t let a few rain drops spoil the party. RSVP Weddings and Events helped to coordinate the flawless event (beside the weather) flowers were provided by Sheer Elegance and helped make the already swanky reception area even more beautiful. B-boy productions kept the music jamming and guests danced the night away!
2011 FAVORITES
This little cutie had her eye on the wedding cake, and I had my eye on her. |
Reflecting back on 2011 and the many wonderful people I have met and the 30 weddings I have photographed, I felt like sharing some of my personal favorite images from each wedding.
Often times a photographer’s favorite will differ from a clients, so I’ll offer a little insight as to why each of these images are special for me… I’ve also decided to show wedding and trash the dress or day after sessions, and not bridals, engagements, and boudoir and commercial sessions simply because there are soooo many images overall. ๐
For over a year I have wanted to get a shot with a bride and groom on a jet ski. Chris and Lori Gordon decided to spend their honeymoon here in Panama City Beach and were interested in some fun photos on the beach in their wedding attire… towards the end of their “dry” more formal photography session, Chris and his bride jumped on a jet ski and had a blast riding around St. Andrews State Park
Melanie is not quite the high heel wearing type of gal, so on her wedding day she sported a pair of her favorite converse high tops and danced the night away comfortably at The Boatyard, in Panama City Beach.
Alyssa and Chris’s wedding at the Brokaw-McDougall House in Tallahassee, Florida was a beautiful setting for a vintage inspired and fun wedding. As Alyssa and her bridesmaids laughed it up Alyssa’s father enjoyed a few minutes alone after most of the festivities had finished.
Michelle and Christopher were married in Camilla, Georgia. With the majority of my weddings taking place at the beach, I was determined to capture an image with the two of them on a country dirt road… shortly after their ceremony, I got it. ๐
What I like about this image is that it is not your average wedding cake photo. Heather and Chad’s cake was kept in the wine cellar at The Owl Cafe, in Apalachicola Florida, which was a good idea since they umm… didn’t cut the cake until almost midnight. ๐
I love this beautiful bridal portrait that was taken moments
before Melanie and Jonathan were to wed
at The First Presbyterian Church, in Panama City, Florida.
Aaron and Amanda were married at the Vue on 30a, in Santa Rosa Beach, Florida. I couldn’t help but be emotionally moved by the love this officer has for his lovely lady, which is apparent as they exchanged vows.
Brittany and Jonathan were married at Carillon Beach, in Panama City Beach, Florida. With a variety of so many wonderful settings at this unique location, I was able to capture this romantic moment “before” Brittany and Jonathan walked down the aisle, or rather… walked down the beach to profess their love for each other and commit the rest of their lives to one another.
These two little ballerina flower girls from Amanda
and Kurt’s wedding were quite interested in their flower
pails before leaving to Eglin Beach Park Okaloosa Island.
MORE PHOTOS TO COME!
Mr. and Mrs. Lewis Wed!!
Jerry and JoAnna were married on a chilly November day in Panama City.
Even though the weather was cool outside, I believe everyone’s hearts were warmed
by the obvious love and respect these two displayed for each other.
They were married at the Historical Church of Saint Andrews. A lovely, quaint
and timeless church located in the heart of Panama City. The reception was held
nearby at the Oaks by the Bay Park. This truly was a lovely ceremony and day, for a
lovely couple. Congratulations Jerry and JoAnna!!
