Australian-American Union CelebrationShe's from the US. He's from Australia. She's in insurance. He work on yachts. The universe brought these two love birds together from opposite sides of the world to create a perfect match! Before meeting, Erin didn't have a single stamp in her passport, but now with her remote job and his adventurous spirit, they get to travel the world together, hand in hand, sharing life and exploring new experiences together. Their wedding day was so unique and personal. They rented this beautiful modern castle on the Middle River and piled all their family from all over the world under one roof. Leading up to the wedding they truly became family cooking, cleaning, and hanging out by the pool. Their wedding day was filled with their closest friends and family, many of whom traveled all the way from Australia to celebrate Erin + Sol's big day. The ladies got ready in the green house atrium with views of the water while Drew hopped on a boat for a few hours and took a spin along the river. Their sunset ceremony on the rooftop was magical as the sun dipped behind the Fort Lauderdale skyline. I even took out my drone to capture all the guests and scenery! Erin is a singer and used to sing at weddings so she knows how to throw a party. Drew and I could't help but dance along! We felt immediately welcomed by their crew and loved every moment honoring Erin + Sol!

Long Time Friends Miami Visit & Sunset Engagement | South Pointe ParkThis session is so special to me because it's two of our dear friends from college! Sudeep and Drew were roommates in college in Raleigh, NC. They were both Park Scholars at NC State University and many of our best friends Drew met through the program. They value academics, service, relationships, and making the world a better place. (I even got to take engagement pictures of two of our other close friends from college too! Relive their 2015 engagement HERE). Sudeep & Katie came down to Miami to visit us and we had so much fun catching up and showing them our favorite places. We've known Sudeep for almost a decade! Drew and I went to school only 30 minutes away so I was a frequent visitor at their apartment and later house. We played ultimate frisbees, went out to dinner, had game nights, volunteered and supported each other as they served as heads of Service Raleigh and the Krispy Creme Challenge. I cheered them on as they played real life soccer and video game soccer (LOL), we threw lots of surprise birthday parties, and they always had an open door welcoming anyone in. My favorite memory was getting snowed in one weekend at their apartment with lots of friends all piled in the living room, singing songs and having snow ball fights, we were and still are family. While everyone is doing amazing work all over the world and country, we still get together every year! I'm excited because next year our group has two weddings to celebrate! Ok now on to how amazing Sudeep and Katie are... Sudeep and Katie (From Vanderbilt) were both premed in college and met one summer interning at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. It's the best love story! I love that their passions for healing and helping brought them together. As soon as we met Katie, we knew she was perfect!! Together they're the ideal compliments, balance, and power couple! Beyond kind, loyal, hearts of service, unconditionally loving, and full of life. Sudeep is a Doctor specializing in pediatrics and Katie is in med school and doing a year of leukemia research. He proposed in Memphis where they first met and surprised her by bringing together both their families to help celebrate. I know my words can never convey how incredible these two are as individuals and as a unit. So hopefully these photos can show you their genuine joy and pure radiance and how much I adore Sudeep and Katie!

Earth Centered Bohemian Wedding | South FloridaEmily and Ethan's intimate family ceremony at Miami Beach Botanical garden was a dream! When I first spoke with them on the phone we realized what a small world we live in . Emily is from Raleigh, NC and grew up down the street from where I lived! They live in New York, but treasure the South Beach neighborhood. Their vision was to combine their Christian and Jewish backgrounds with their current shamanic journey. They pulled it off effortlessly! While getting ready we got to hear about how Emily and Ethan met at school in New York, fell in love in Miami Beach at Art Basel, and how they've been able to support each other through job changes and life goals. They both love to travel, fine dining, yoga, and exploring. They've both embarked and committed to a life of transformation together. This started when they both left our toxic NY jobs to discover and pursue their passions. Ethan started teaching yoga this past year, Emily is following Peruvian shamanic practices, and their now working on a new online business venture selling all natural plant and mineral based tinctures and supplements. I'm a big fan of first looks because the couple gets to speand a few moments together to take it all. Their Japanese Garden location was full of emotion and love. It was especially special because he proposed to Emily in the Japanese garden at the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens during the Cherry Blossom festival. Earth elements were important and they started their wedding ceremony with cleansing sage and sacred palo santo. Their ceremony table had crystals like pink quartz for love and passion, clear quartz for power, moon stone's the milky radiance of this crystal represents tenderness, and is believed to bring lovers closer together, and green calcite will help you to create the energy of abundance so that intentions can blossom into realities. They also included several traditional Christian and Jewish sacraments like blessing wine, walking around each other seven times to signify breaking down walls, and breaking glass in remembrance of the shattering of the Jewish temples. Their intimate, micro wedding was a treasure to be a part of and I adored witnessing the blending of family, faith, and love! They made the entire day a personal love story and celebration and their new chapter together. Thank you for letting me join in the festivities!
