Christopher and Shemekia's Engagement Session - Jacksonville FL Wedding Photographer

Love it when clients take my words to heart and pretty much give me creative control for their engagement session. We are in the age of Pinterest, and I have many other clients showing me their "pins" and asking me to recreate a similar pose. I usually try to take my own spin to it so it doesn't look like I'm copying the exact shot.  That's not the case with Christopher and Shemekia, and I had so much fun taking their photos :)

I have always loved Stockton Park, but everyone always picks Memorial Park in Riverside for photos. I was so happy to hear when Shemekia told me that they are going with Stockton Park for their location! It truly is a beautiful park :) We finish the rest of our session down the road from there at my other favorite location. Baker Point Park is currently under renovation so it's closed, but we managed to still get some fun shots :)

Shemekia was glowing with happiness, and anyone can see how in love she is with Christopher. I can also tell how much he loves her just by the way he holds her hand :) I am super excited to photograph this couple's wedding next Spring! One of my past brides, Nikita, is also her wedding planner, so I just know that this is going to be a fun wedding! :) Be sure to check out their slideshow for more photos of this lovely couple!


Enjoy!

Nayana and Dennis' Family Session - Jacksonville FL Family Photographer

Thankful when other wedding vendors in town ask me to photograph their family portraits.  Nayana is a local wedding planner in Jacksonville, and I have met her at one of the Thursday Therapy events that I co-host where local wedding professionals get together once a month just to catch up, unwind and network in the process. I am glad that I met Nayana there and gotten to know more about her website, Real Time Bride.  I got the chance to meet her family right before the holidays for their portrait session.  It was freezing and windy on the day of our session, and this family rocks for braving the cold elements! We had to move to a new location where it was not so windy for our session.  The sun finally came out towards the end of our session, and I am glad it did :) 

Can't wait to work with Nayana at a wedding in 2014. I am thankful that she had me photograph her beautiful family and adorable son!

Enjoy!
