Past Few Months {May to August}

  • Posted on August 30, 2010 at 9:02 pm

May 29th was cloudy here in Jacksonville, but beautiful in St. Mary’s, Georgia where John and Angel tied the knot.
The Ceremony was lovely in the quaint historical church – Our Lady Star of the Sea. The couple did everything online, but with intensive planning and a little faith they had the wedding of their dreams! Congrats John and Angel- I hope the years bring you many smiles!

June brought a fun night of music! I got the distinct pleasure of covering the concert Featuring: The John Brandon Project. They Rocked! It was such a fun experiance and my first visit to Freebird at the beaches. If you ever get the chance to see them in concert don’t miss it! Not only was it fun, but they donated the ticket proceeds to VH1 Save the Music! Nothing like a little heart with your music. Congrats Guys!

July was heartwarming! I got to wittness and capture my 2nd Naval Homecoming. Courtney hired me to get her hubby’s return – As exciting as it was there were tears from many (including myself). Nothing touches your heart more than a military homecoming, or a surprise proposal :) I was lucky that my hubby was deployed before we met, I didnt have to endure those never ending months that many military spouses do. That alone is admirable! Thanks Courtney for sharing your moment! Military wives are tough! Thanks to the men and women in the service and for those who wait for them to return.

August has been the busiest of my summer- don’t get me wrong, I love my photography, but the little break was nice. There is nothing like a beach trip just for relaxation! A little rest and I was more than ready to hop back in.
August started with Jordan and Mark. With a busy month ahead for all and new school year starting, Mark and Jordan, wanted to capture their engagement photos early. We met at Vilano and enjoyed some time taking in the scenery. Jordan and Mark are a wonderful couple who will be celebrating their marriage next May. Congrats on the Engagement guys, can’t wait for the wedding :)

Tyler is a beautiful and bright young lady who is entering her senior year at Wolfson. She also got to visit the beach with me. Such a bright sunshiney morning to complete our shoot! We were even surprised with a few playful dolphins in the background. There is a good way to enjoy your Senior Portraits for years to come :) Good luck Tyler – Senior Year goes by all to quickly!

I am still working on Kelley’s Model session from last week, those should be done in a few days :)
I have some exciting events coming up in the next few months. Stay posted to catch the first news!
Thanks again for reading. Have a wonderful week everyone!

This was one of my long distance weddings :) Becky and Brian tied the knot at Faith Chapel at Jekyll Island, Georgia and Partied the night away at the Old Brunswick City Hall in Brunswick, Georgia.
It was a beautiful wedding and reception with a lot of fun surprises – Like Becky being presented with a cardboard cut out of John Cena!
They sure Knew how to keep the vintage fell but have some luxery too- They chose a vintage Cadillac to get from A to B :) DSC00006DSC00012DSC00024DSC00056DSC00028DSC00073DSC00086DSC00089DSC00282DSC00355DSC00657DSC00685DSC00723DSC00751DSC00829DSC00913DSC00999DSC01119DSC01226DSC01271DSC01277DSC01345DSC01521DSC01523DSC01526

Hi Everyone,
This lovely couple that I would like to highlight will be getting married October 10th at Faith Chapel on Jekyll Island, Ga (Yes I travel— destination weddings too!) Speaking of Travel after the ceremony the reception will be held in Brunswick, Ga. They sure are troopers! Not only do they have all of that wedding day running, but for their engagement session they came from Georgia and met me at Big Talbot Island (State Park) to spend an hour shooting in the hot, hot, hot sun! Don’t worry though we got some beautiful shots. Introducing BRIAN AND BECKY — Soon to be MR. and MRS. Massey!

We started at the overlook. If you have never been to Big Talbot Island it is definitely worth the drive. They call it the “boneyard” because of all of the fallen trees that have become bleached by the sun after so many years. From there we walked down the beach stopping at a few of these tree to create a few fun shots.

Finally we made our way down the beach, stopping at a patch of Sea Oats. Once we were finished there we walked back to our vehicles changed shirts for a quick (and less sweaty) finish to our shoot, then hauled boogity to the nearest gas station for Icee’s. It was overall a very enjoyable shoot and I can’t wait to shoot the wedding!

Thanks again Brian and Becky- See you very soon!
