JR + Jessica ~ Lakewood Ranch Wedding

When your wedding day starts off by getting ready at a close friend's house, it's started off on the right foot. JR and Jessica are two lovebirds who couldn't wait for their special day. Beginning  in a beautiful home in East Bradenton and ending at the Lakewood Rack Town Hall…start to finish….it was perfect!

Selby Gardens Wedding

Megan and Branko's wedding was just beautiful to shoot.  The girls prepared for their ceremony at a privately rented home on Bradenton Beach and the men gathered at the Tortuga Inn Beach Resort. They had a blast riding the Island Trolly down to Selby Gardens for the outdoors ceremony. After a quick stop at Lido beach for some romantic portraits of the bride and groom (We just had to go  for some sunset photos since the this is where Branko proposed to Megan!), the reception started at the Gulf Drive Cafe's New Tiki Hut. What a romantic day!

River Strand Country Club Wedding

The dark skies were threatening to let loose, however they held back their curtains. The post-wedding portraits of Sam and Scarlett, complete with lowery clouds, proved a perfect backdrop for pictures of the two on the green of the River Strand Country Club.

Engagement Session [ Sam & Scarlett ]

I never would have thought Bradenton's DeSoto Memorial Park would have been as cold or  as windy as it was for Sam and Scarlett's portrait session. But we made it through and evan extended the shoot since we were getting so many great shots.  And I don't think any of the goose bumps are visible in the images...whew!
