Hey everyone. Here is a few shots from such a beautiful wedding that we had the honor of shooting last month down in Anna Marie Island at the lovely Sand Bar. The Sand Bar did such a wonderful job. What a great setting and atmosphere for such an amazing couple. I would also like to make an honorable mention to The Cake Zone out of Parrish, FL for such an amazing job with the cake and cupcake tower. And just so you know, those helmets that you see in the pictures....yeah, their cakes :). Well, without further a due, I present to you Adam & Tara's wedding...enjoy!

Adam and Tara | Engagement | Gainesville, FL

2010-04-29T11:59:00.000-04:00

In today's episode, we're off to Gainesville, FL with Adam and Tara for their engagement shoot. Tara being an Alumni and a die hard Gator fan, you know we couldn't resist. With the gear packed and ready to go, we jumped in the car and headed north to the home of the Gator's - The University of Florida.

To start our day on campus, we made our way to Ben Hill Griffin Stadium or what its' best known as, "The Swamp"! From there we roamed the campus to capture these two at one of Florida's most beautiful and historic campuses. From the lush landscaping to the architecture, every where you turned was a beautiful photo waiting to be captured. And lets not forget the stars of this day. They say the soul stay's young through
laughter and love. Well, these two let that energy shine through in this session :). The perfect ingredients for an amazing day.

So for today's viewing pleasure we bring you highlights from our day in good ol' Gator Country. I couldn't be happier for these two love birds. Thanks guys for such a fun day. I can't wait for the wedding :)! Till then everyone, enjoy the show :).

Lets Take A Stroll Through Cinque Terre

2010-04-02T22:14:00.013-04:00

Hi Everyone :). Thanks for stopping by. We thought we'd change things up a little and use this opportunity to share an amazing experience we had a few years ago.

Before I graduated from USF in 2007, Michele and I decided that we would plan out a trip to Europe as a reward for my graduation as well as working hard at the store that summer. Oh just an FYI, back then Michele and I were just dating. Call me Mr. Cliche, but I knew she was the one for me and what better place then Europe to propose. That story will have to be for another post ;).

So in September of 2007, Michele and I packed the bare necessities and took off to back pack Europe for one month. Wow, the world is filled with so many amazing places...heck, one month wasn't nearly enough if you ask me. One of those amazing places was so awesome that is was like love at first site. That place was Cinque Terre, Italy.

If you are not familiar with Cinque Terre, the name translates to "Five Cities". This place was simply breath taking. We started our day early morning in one of the town's called Monterroso al Mare. From Monterroso we hiked off the beaten path toward the city of Vernazza. When you're wandering around exploring new surroundings with a camera, you tend to lose track of time or at least I do. Turned out our little hike....yeah, four and a half hours long. And to make matters worse...no water. After finally catching our breath and filling our bellies in Vernazza, we decided to keep moving. Not looking to make the same mistake that we made on the way to Vernazza, we decided take a ferry to the last city called Riomaggiore just before we made our way back to Vernazza to end the day.

I could go on and on like a chatty Kathy, but lets get on with the show. So without further a due, I invite you to take a walk with us through the wonderful Cinque Terre. Enjoy :).

Is That Sand I Feel Between My Toes??

2010-03-23T23:25:00.009-04:00

Sometimes life can keep us pretty busy that we forget to get out there and get a little sun. So we thought we would put together a little something to help those hard working parents out there. We came up with our Beach Day Weekend! What an awesome time. We captured moments as our little stars experienced sand for the first time or who were back for more. Here is the first day of this awesome weekend...enjoy :)
