William Otis : Jacksonville Family Session

March 27, 2015 by Jensey 3 Comments

Brooke and my parents were best friends before we were born, so I’ve known Brooke my whole life. Her mom is a true aunt to me, and everyone in this family is so special to mine! We photographed Brooke and Kyle’s wedding years ago, back when I didn’t used to blog every wedding, so sadly I can’t link to it. :( Last year, we photographed Brooke’s mom’s wedding (see Aunt Martha’s wedding here!), and this year, we’ll photograph her little sister Katy’s wedding in Arizona.

I was about to blog Katy and Nick’s engagement session when I realize I never blogged the session we did with her nephew!

So world, meet William Otis. <3

Favorite. <3 We met these guys in Jacksonville for photos when we were in town for Martha and Richard’s wedding.

Second favorite. Brooke, you make a beautiful mom!

Thanks for hanging out with us and William, we can’t wait to see how much you’ve grown this fall! :)

Adelie + Will : Tarpon Lodge Wedding in Pineland, Florida Preview

Oh, Adelie and Will. <3

These guys were married at Tarpon Lodge in Pineland, Florida, a location we photographed a few years ago and I’d been wanting to shoot again. :)

One week out from their wedding, the forecast was showing a 60% chance of rain. One day out, it was 40%. If you know Florida weather, you know that anything above 30% genuinely leads to a back up location, because it’s not a matter of “if” it will rain, but “when.” Sure enough, the rain held out all morning and afternoon, and only started coming down toward the end of our portrait time. Adelie was amazing and never stopped smiling and never freaked out about a few (rather large) rain drops- I so love the photos we got of them under her umbrella! :)

Adelie and Will, thank you for being so awesome to us! We can’t wait to share the rest of your photos soon. :)

Adelie, you were such a gorgeous bride! <3

Heather + Michael : Disney Boardwalk Inn Sea Breeze Point Wedding and Epcot Italy Reception Preview

Heather and Michael are probably the most patient bride and groom in the world!

We photographed their wedding days after moving, and I’m so embarrassed to just now be sharing their wedding preview. You guys, thank you for being so patient and letting us be a part of your fun wedding day! :)

This adorable flower girl happened to be Michael’s beautiful daughter! She was in great spirits despite the fact that until that week, she thought *she* was the bride!

FAVORITE.
