A Manatee Wedding!






Like many couples, Rob and Christina decided on a destination wedding. Unlike many couples, manatees influenced their decision. They decided to have their wedding at
Homosassa Springs Wildlife Preserve, mainly for that cute and lumpy mammal - the manatee! I'll admit I did not see the appeal before visiting this preserve, but all the couple's guests, ourselves included, came to adore these gentle slow creatures as we watched them beg for sweet potatoes, roll over for a tummy rub, and nurse their babies underwater. From the greenery, to the quiet walks, to the run-away flower girl (hmmm she looks familiar), we had a blast capturing the day. The wedding location was a huge success, with all the guests having a great time and the couple being surrounded by a place they loved as they joined their lives together.

A Vintage Veil





This weekend we captured a couple who decided to have their wedding in the heart of Annapolis's most beautiful and historic areas. We really enjoyed shooting a wedding in St. Mary's Parish with those amazing vaulted ceilings. And we just loved the cala lilies and vintage inspired short veil.

Stephanie and Dimitri - brave couple with an all-kid bridal party!


Rebecca and I met with a newly engaged couple yesterday to discuss shooting their wedding on December 1, 2007. I’m looking forward to shooting at St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Cathedraland the Willard Intercontinental in DC, both very beautiful locations!The last wedding I shot at St. Sophia was beautiful, but Stephanie and Dimitri have an exciting difference…The bridal party is about 20 children between 4 and 8 years old! Children can be unpredictable, but Stephanie already has “training” planned out to get them ready.
