I’m a bit of a geek. Okay, I’m a bit of a big geek. Lots and lots of bits of me are geeky. Geek R Me. I’ve spent time at conventions like MegaCon celebrating the geekiness that is Sci-Fi, comic books, you name it. I enjoy things like video games and fiction books, the Steampunk sub-sub-genre, and I’ve recently sewn a couple of costumes for nothing but the pure fun of having a Victorian bustle.

With that confession out of the way, let me introduce you to another geeky friend of mine, Amanda. She created a Lord of the Rings-esque elven costume, and somewhere down the road we decided we needed to do a themed shoot around her costume. When we found out Ft. Clinch up in Fernandina Beach was already closed for the night, we headed to Big Talbot Island. Here’s the results of that EPIC time spent on the beach:

Anyone who has taken a peek inside my portfolio can tell you… I LOVE the Jacksonville Zoo. When I was approached by Kori & Robert to photograph their wedding there, I was thrilled. Since the remodeling several years ago, the Zoo has been transformed into beautiful botanical gardens with thousands of plant species from around the world.

But the real story here is between Kori & Robert. They’d known each other since they were children,  had gone their separate ways through life, and had found each other again — different people but the same. Watching them interact was a treat. They know how to make each other laugh and they still have the ‘play’ instinct, my favorite part of relationships. Without much more, here are the photos, starting at the Young, Broke & Fabulous, a wonderfully unique salon on the edge of Avondale & Riverside.

Thank you, Kori & Robert, for allowing me to be a part of your day. I had so much fun!
