Kevin and Kortnee: Wedding

There is just so much to say about this wonderful event. Kevin and Kortnee both use to work with me and since then everyone has gone their separate way making this opportunity to shoot their wedding very special to me. I remember when the big news at work was that Kevin had proposed but it was so sad that they weren't getting married for almost two years. I can not believe how fast time went by.
Kevin and Kortnee were surrounded by all the people they loved on their special day and everyone was always having fun. The party was none stop. From 7am hair appointments all the way till they got in the truck at 9:30pm. I have to say that I am very jealous of Kortnee because she is blessed with having all of her family live around her which makes their relationships a little closer.

Kevin and Kortnee,
You two make me smile and I am so honored that I got to spend the whole day with you. The party was amazing and I know everyone had fun. You both have such wonderful families and amazing parents to guide your life by. Congratulations and God Bless, I hope to have you two over for dinner again some time soon.
Love you both,
Dawn

Pro-Life

I swore to myself that I would not get political ever on my blog but I think this issue is beyond politics. This video was on Oprah yesterday and now I want to share it with you. It is only 6 mins and it is a special 6 mins to remind you how valuable life is. Do me a favor and after you watch this give your kids or someone you love a big hug.

ughhhhh I am so MAD!!!

Have you ever been on phone with someone and just wanted to SCREAM at them!!!!!!!! Well I ordered my son's Yoda outfit for halloween two and a half weeks ago on Costumekingdom.com. Well it still is not here and I called and they said that everyone who ordered through google checkout's order did not go through. So my son has NO costume!!!! I wanted to say very mean things to this girl but I know it was not her fault. I wanted her to get on her knees and beg for my mercy.....wow I am mad..... but I said nice things and that I would never use their website again and I will advise my friends not to.
Anyways WHERE CAN I FIND A COSTUME THIS LATE?????? Anyone in the Tampa area know where there are some good things and don't say Wal-mart because I already went there.

HELP!!!!!

Jessica and Jorge: Wedding

On October 11,2009 I helped Kerri McConnell shoot a wedding in downtown Tampa and Ybor. For all the details about the wedding visit her blog. Ok, well first of all this was a beautiful day and the weather was perfect and to top it off the ceremony was at one of the most beautiful churches ever. I was so amazed by the architecture and stained glass. After the mass we headed over to the reception where Jessica and Jorge where the life of the party. Women were literally throwing money at Jorge to dance with them. It was so great!!

Thank you Kerri for letting me shoot with you again. I love getting to spend that time with you.

Danny and Nicole: Wedding

Danny and Nicole have known each other for over 10 years and it is still amazing how Danny still looks at her. Since they have known each other for so long, they decided to see each other before the ceremony "first look". I have to be honest and say that Nicole was a little tense while she was getting ready and then when she saw Danny she instantly calmed down. While I am more of a traditionalist, I really am starting to like "first look" because it calms everyone down and gives us more time to take pictures.

Danny and Nicole
Thank you for allowing me to spend this special time with you. I have enjoyed getting to know you during this year and I hope our relationship doesn't end here.
Love you both,
Dawn :)
