Crown Events Barn Wedding | Katelyn + Jake

Katelyn and Jake are one of those couples that have an infectious love for one another. I loved being able to capture their wedding day surrounded by their friends and family at the gorgeous Crown Events Barn in New Smyrna Beach. One of my favorite moments from their day was the tears the both shed reading their sweet letters that each wrote to each other before the ceremony, there was not a dry eye. The bride and groom both love Alice and Wonderland and Harry Potter, respectively, and used many whimsical details to portray these books throughout the day. I adored Katelyn's wedding gown with the most gorgeous touch of lace sleeves. To see more of their wedding day take a peek for yourself!

The Shores Resort & Spa Wedding | Hilary + Dustin

Hilary and Dustin had a destination wedding in Hilary's home state of Florida. Their sweet love story began and continues all the way in Wisconsin! A tropical storm was all set and ready to blow through Florida on their wedding day but God had better plans and gave them a slightly windy day instead. I could not dream of a better suited couple to embrace the wind and continue their wedding beachside at The Shores Resort and Spa. One of my favorite parts of the day was learning all about Dustin's two loves, Hilary and fishing. The day was full of coastal vibes, garden roses and sweet Southern Grace. Take a peek for yourself!

Lowe and Behold Wedding Showcase

The people at Lowe and Behold are brimming with talent and good vibes! I adored every single moment of this event and was more than honored to photograph and attend. The ideas that swept the showroom included black tie, Pantone color of the year - green, citrus fresh, tuscan wine country, apple green and even steam punk! I am still dreaming about the dripping orchids and poppy peonies, it was a floral dream!

Sneak Peek of Bridle Oaks Wedding | Rob & Sue

The wedding day of Sue and Rob can best be summed by the first sentence of the Apache Wedding Blessing that was read during their ceremony. "Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter for the other." Their day was full of showers but their love persevered and the sun shone through the freshly rained on trees and ground - it was perfect. There is something special about right after it rains, the smells are sweeter and the saturations brighter and I know that Sue and Rob will never take for granted those little showered on moments.

Bridle Oaks Wedding in DeLand | Kelsey + Eric

Kelsey and Eric had the most perfect wedding day! God surely blessed them with some amazing weather and a gorgeous daughter, Peyton. I had such a wonderful time getting to know this couple during their engagement session over a year before their wedding - true planners. Joe Hearn Events put together a lovely & chic barn wedding for the couple. One of my absolute favorite moments was after their i-dos and first kiss they looked over and hugged onto Payton to walk down the aisle!

How to describe Cady and Camaron's wedding day? It was certainly nothing short of magical and perfect!
