DEBBIE & JONATHAN–HUTCHINSON ISLAND FLORIDA WEDDING

In case it isn’t obvious when looking at these images below–Jonathan and Debbie are two people who love to laugh! In fact, there were very few moments throughout their entire wedding day on Hutchinson Island, Florida where I didn’t see Jonathan cracking Debbie up. This is something that I absolutely love! Not only are they incredibly kind, easy-going and very much in love, it is so clear how much fun these two have together. Needless to say, photographing them on a gorgeous sunny day in the mangroves, on boat docks and on pristine beaches was just perfection. I am so honored to have been invited to photograph their wedding and to have been able to capture two amazing people on their beautiful day!   

What can I even say other than–WOW! She is a stunning bride!This is Debbie and Jonathan’s ‘first look’–and of course he is cracking her up!

Debbie with her incredibly sweet bridesmaids!

First all of, Debbie’s mom is awesome–she decided to go up on the chair during the Horah and her expression and excitement are priceless!!

SNOW DAY IN ATLANTA

 Even though I grew up in Binghamton, New York and regularly saw snow come down from fall through spring, there is nothing quite like the beauty of seeing your city blanketed in snow–especially when that city happens to be Atlanta! So in honor of the 4 inches of snow that fell all around us last night–which is quite an anomaly–here are a few photos from my lovely Grant Park!

NEWBORN PHOTOS–BABY MILES

 There is something incredibly special about one of your oldest and dearest friends in the world having their first baby. I’ve known Sarah since the 8th grade, and so to see one of my best friend’s all these years later holding her two-month-old son Miles–well, it’s just awesome! This guy is such a cutie and I can’t wait to watch him grow up!

And just for fun–the top photo is of Sarah and I as freshman in high school in 1995 and below, together with her son Miles in December 2010!
