When Kevin first contacted me saying he was Navy being deployed in less than a week and he needed some good photos of him and his girlfriend before he left, he got me hook, line and sinker. I cleared my schedule for Sunday evening, because there’s nothing more heartbreakingly beautiful to me than military families & the sacrifices they make for our country. They stole my heart again when we met, because the love they have for each other is so apparent in the way they interact. All I had to do as a photographer is sit back and watch them be themselves; clients who are willing to just be themselves without reservation are such a treat. And so, I present to you, Kevin and Taylor.

As wedding season has started in Northeast Florida, these last few weeks have been a blur. Last weekend I spent some time at Trail’s End Ranch in Medina, TX… one of the most beautiful, relaxing places I’ve ever been. I was there to celebrate and photograph the wedding of Raphaelle and Porter, but I’ll get to that in a couple of days….

This weekend, I’ve been catching up on the backlog of photos sitting on my hard drive that are itching to get done — but I took a break to shoot the engagement of Hannah and Drew at Friendship Park in downtown Jacksonville. In just a few minutes’ time, I knew this was going to be special… Hannah’s smile lights up everyone around her, and Drew knows just how to make her smile. Here’s a sneak peek :)

Let me introduce to you Kori and Robert. These two approached me after being referred by a mutual friend, and I’m so glad they did. They have a sweet and affectionate love for each other that radiates from their faces whenever they’re together.

They met each other in grade school, went their separate ways, and now years later have found each other again. They’ll be married in June at the Jacksonville Zoo and Gardens (can’t wait!), but last weekend we did their engagement session.
