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 :)

Thank you Theresa Marie for assisting me at this wedding. I had fun chatting and dancing in the corner. I am happy you were there to help me figure out putting up the slide show at the reception.

Nicole: Bridal

Nicole's wedding was on Friday and so much fun!!! In August Nicole had her bridal session in her backyard. Bridal+Bridesmaids+pizza+wine+hair+makeup= an awesome time!! I have been so anxious to put these up but I had to wait till after the wedding. Although I don't know why because silly Nicole got too excited and ended up showing Danny the pictures anyways.
I love the two of you and I hope you the best ever!!!
Post about their wedding coming soon.

Danny and Nicole: Wedding

Did you know that you can actually sleep with your eyes open?? Well that is how I feel right now. I have had a crazy weekend and now I am finally able to relax but I wanted to blog about one of the weddings. Here is just a preview from Nicole and Danny's wedding. More pictures and details to come.




******Also to come, pictures from a wedding I shot with Kerri.

Zack and Staci: Engagement

This is Zack and Staci and they were so fun to hang out with! They were up for anything and wanted to be different....what else could a photographer ask for. Oh yeah and they loved each other. I always tell all my clients that I can tell just by the way a couple interact with each other the strength of their love for each other. Man these two are so in love!
I am so excited about your wedding in October, next October. You guys are the best!

Here are a few of my favorite, but there are a ton more on the slideshow.
I just love this one because Zack is more in focus, lucky lady :)






This was so fun because Zack kept running out of faces.


Stay tuned for a bridal session for a wedding on Friday. Then I get to shoot with my friend Kerri again at one of her weddings on Saturday.

Zack and Staci: Engagement Sneak Peek

Ok three pictures from an engagement session today in St. Pete. I am really starting to love this place. More to come soon, including my FAVORITE!!!!

Happy Birthday ADY!!!

Last week was Christopher's friend's 1st birthday. Of course we had fun at the party because all of our friends were there too. Here are a few pictures for Ady and all our friends. Oh and a few pictures of Christopher too. It has been a while since I posted pictures of our little guy too.


By the way, Don't you love Christopher's new shoes.

Sage and Tasha: Engagement

I would like to introduce Tasha and Sage and their son. Tasha found me on the knot and our passion for our sons was our first connection. Nothing makes me happier than to see children being taken care of and full of love. Beckett is loved so much and that is so special to see. Then I see how much Tasha and Sage love each other and I know that this family will last forever.
We had to meet halfway since we both live so far from each other, so we met in St. Pete. I hadn't done any sessions down there but now I am hooked. There is so much going on, no two pictures will ever be the same. I will try to make this post short but I don't think it will happen. I have too many favorites!!!!

SIDE NOTE: The story behind this song for ME is funny. I wanted to pick a song for them and I really thought this was perfect but in some pictures Tasha's eyes are blue and in some they are green. So I went with it :)
