Brielle & Paul are engaged! /// Amelia Island Wedding Photographer

Brielle & Paul are an example of when working together works out. Five years ago, it was Brielle's first day on the job as a pastry intern where Paul was working as a baker. He first spotted her checking into orientation and arranged it so that he was her personal trainer in the pastry shop. He asked her out the next week and they have been together ever since!

It also works out great that Brielle is a master baker because I'm excited to share that she is making all my cupcakes for my own bridal shower and wedding! Yum yum! While she is the head baker at Amelia Island Plantation, she also takes on other brides. To view her gallery and contact her for your wedding cake or cupcakes, check out her gallery here:

Here's some of my favorites from their engagement session!

Awesome new watermarker called PICTUL!

As a photographer, I'm always looking for efficient ways to go about things to maximize my time. I was recently told about this amazing new watermarker tool that if you are a blogging photographer, you have to check out!

It's called Pictul and it's a great solution to automate watermarking on your images so seamlessly and easily! It's so fast and easy! You can download it and try it for FREE here before buying, but I promise you'll get hooked!

In the meantime, here's a sneak peek from a recent engagement session that I created using PICTUL!

Europe, in three photos.

My dad, a history buff, was one of those people who said "When I retire, I'll go see the world." When he finally retired in early 2008, he and my mom started planning a trip to Europe for the three of us to take. However, within a few months, we found out my dad had stage 4 lung cancer, and obviously the trip got postponed.

Though my dad never got to see Europe before he passed (2 years ago today in fact), my mom and I finally decided to take the trip in his honor, and as a special mother/daughter trip before I get married in April. We booked a guided tour through www.getours.com and were off to an exciting two week whirlwind tour starting in London and ending in Rome.

The whole time we were transported on a coach tourbus with 40 other people from all America, South Africa, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia. Our group drove through the countries of England, France, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Litchenstein, and finally Italy.

We went back in September, but for Christmas, much to my mom's begging to see the photos, I finally sorted through about 3,000 photos to narrow it down to about 900 keepers for my mom and I. As a professional photographer, it was fun to take a break from shooting for work to simply shoot for fun along our adventures. MOST of the landscape photos were actually taken out the window of the tour bus. When I said it was a whirlwind trip, I wasn't kidding.

I think what I found the most fascinating about Europe was the architecture. I grew up thinking I was going to be an architect and studied architecture history for a few years in high school and college. It was so fascinating to be able to see all these old buildings that I had only seen in history books before, but was now seeing in person! I only wish my dad could have been there to soak it all in too!

The other thing I loved about Europe was that I arrived to find out my iPhone didn't pick up international roaming. I guess I had never activated it, so I was forced for 2 weeks to get off the internet and email and disconnect from all the crazy technology I realize we Americans are addicted too. I was lucky to get a few hotels that had wifi long enough that I could skype on my iPhone with my fiance a few times, but other than that, it was SUCH a refreshing change to remember there is a world out there that exists without all technology we think we need to survive.

I enjoyed actually writing about my adventures in a real journal instead of typing it out on a blog. I enjoyed spending one on one time with my favorite woman in the world. I enjoyed escaping away from all the things I worried about that I thought mattered to realize they just don't. I enjoyed meeting new people not only from the countries we visited but from the countries that my fellow tourists came from. I enjoyed being reminded how young of a country America is compared to the centuries and centuries of countries that existed long before. I enjoyed seeing the beauty of God's creations from top of the the highest of mountains of Switzerland. I enjoyed simply going to Europe, before I retire, and see the sights my dad never could.

I wish I could blog them all, but between wedding planning and running a business, I'm just now getting around to printing out these 3 photos to frame in the house. So I thought I would share at least these 3 with you.


A pic I took of my computer screen with my iPhone of the 3 photos I'm cropping right now in Photoshop. From left to right, the Leaning Tower in Piza, Italy; a typical work day in Venice; and of course the Eiffel Tower in Paris. In fact, that photo is the exact view I had from my hotel window. Didn't get much better than that!

Barrett & Jud are married! /// Vizcaya Miami Wedding Photographer

Whenever I describe Barrett to someone, I describe her as a modern Jackie O. Not only does she have the stunning beauty, but she has the grace and composure of elegance that Jackie O represented. As we walked around the Viceroy Hotel in Miami photographing her bridals, I couldn't help but think she deserved to be on the cover of a bridal magazine!

Barrett & Jud enjoyed a destination wedding in Miami, FL with friends and family at one of my favorite spots to shoot, the famous Vizcaya mansion!

Here's my favorites from the beauty of their day that Stephen & I documented!

Alison & Jeremy are married! /// Savannah Wedding Photographer

Alison and Jeremy were originally supposed to get married later on, but when they heard Jeremy was being sent off to Germany next month for the Army, they had to expedite wedding plans. Having already served a year in Afghanistan, and Alison having to live a year away from her fiance, Alison was so bubbly with joy on her wedding day that now she finally gets to be with Jeremy all the time as they start their new chapter in Europe!

I am thankful to people like Jeremy, and their loved ones who sacrifice being a part, for serving our country and keeping us safe!

Here's my favorites from the day that Stephen and I documented from their lovely Savannah, Ga wedding!
