June : Revisited

June 30, 2011 by Jensey 1 Comment

June kicked things off with our new series, “First Look on the 1st”, which featured photos from our own first look on our Christmas Eve wedding day.

Nate loved shooting Nicci and Justin’s engagement session at Vanderbilt and Percy Warner Park.

Little Miss Ellie charmed our faces off. :)

Kaitlyn and Eric’s beach session was one of my all-time favorites!

Jennifer and Kristopher’s wedding was our first-ever at the Celebration Golf Club.

The fun continued in Part II of their wedding blog. :)

Danielle and Patrick’s Disney wedding was our first time shooting in a monorail!

Kaitlyn and Eric were our first-ever sunrise engagement shoot on the beach. Crazy! I loved the pinky-purply natural light, how empty Cocoa Beach was, and Kaitlyn and Eric totally made waking up at 5:30am worth it. :)

When we work with a blank canvas location like the beach, we really depend on our clients. I mean, we can set up poses, of course, but sessions like this thrive on naturally playful couples. We struck gold with Kaitlyn and Eric’s session. I started the shoot just saying, “We’d love if you guys could play around in the water,” and Nate quickly captured my favorite photo of the day. :)

This light!!! Morning sessions may be my new favorite. :)

I love natural face-snugglers. :)

Gotta love early morning metal detectors…

They were so fun to shoot and reminded me of a modern-day Kelly Kapowski and Slater. ;)

Kaitlyn and Eric, thank you for making the session a breeze! Can’t wait til the big day. :)

My favorite kind of “Cones.” :)

Inspiration Board : Coral Wedding

June 23, 2011 by Lorie 4 Comments

One of my favorite childhood memories was when my aunt bought a bikini that was too small for her, and she kindly altered it to fit me. This was before two-pieces were popular for little girls, so of course, the minute I put mine on, I loved it. :) It made me feel like a grown up, and the amused smiles from family and strangers at the beach were even more reassuring.

I would strut my stuff (as best a five year old could) looking for sand dollars and seashells on the shore. Unfortunately, I wore that coral colored bikini so often that by August the bottom started pilling, the top began to lose its shape, and I was forced to retire my summer love.

To this day, whenever I see a coral and azure color combo, I think of my favorite bathing suit and all the fun we had at the beach. As a tribute to those fantastic summer days, here’s a wedding board inspired by my first summer love :)
