After a quiet spell on the blog the last few weeks… how about a lovely little Christmas inspired wedding sneak peek to kick the holiday weekend off right!

Here goes…

Our last wedding of the year was just before Christmas and we love how Stefanie & Carsten embraced the elegance and festive spirit of TPC Sawgrass during the holiday season. It was the perfect end to our 2011 wedding season and we were so happy to have spent this day with such a sweet couple. Here are just a few of our favorites from their wedding day. I hope you are all enjoying a wonderful New Year’s weekend and can’t wait to share so much more with you soon! There are lots of fun things to come in 2012!

Happy New Year’s Eve!

Stephanie & Jimmy’s White Room Wedding | St. Augustine Wedding Photographers

Melanie — Thu, 08 Dec 2011 21:11:04 +0000

Stephanie and Jimmy had the most perfect wedding day you could imagine. The sun was shining, the air was warm, everything ran as smooth as butter and the bride was glowing all day long. They had a rooftop ceremony overlooking the bay in St. Augustine and followed it by dinner and dancing downstairs in the loft of the White Room. Aime and her team at Riverside Event Design did a remarkable job with the flowers. She was able to marry lovely bits of lavender and sage with beach inspired pieces to bring in Stephanie & Jimmy’s love of the ocean. I loved the little bits of driftwood and sea grasses she used in all the arrangements. Cocktails were served on the terrace as the sun set over the roofline making for a perfect start to the evening. We couldn’t have ordered a prettier sunset that day either. Everyone went inside to dance the night away before Stephanie & Jimmy left on their honeymoon. We have loved working with these guys from day one and are so happy to call them our friends. Stephanie & Jimmy, you are an amazing couple and we love you both! We have had so much fun with you two over the last year and only wish we could do it all again. Lots of love to you both!

Joanna & Brad’s New Smyrna Beach Wedding Teaser | Orlando Wedding Photographers

Melanie — Wed, 23 Nov 2011 21:31:11 +0000

A little over a week ago we had the honor of photographing Joanna & Brad’s intimate backyard wedding overlooking the Indian River in New Smyrna Beach. I can’t even express how much I love weddings that take place where the bride or groom grew up. I’m so happy Joanna talked her dad into allowing their wedding to take place at the home where she was raised. It couldn’t have been any more perfect. The weather was mild and the light breeze coming off the water made for a perfect evening under the stars. Here is a little peek into their wedding day. We can’t wait to share more with you all soon.

Joanna & Brad we hope your honeymoon was a welcomed retreat and the perfect start to your new life together.

Lots of love to you both!
Mel & Brad
