Coral Gables, Florida Orange and Grey WeddingDrew and I love being wedding photographers in Miami and it's sweet couples like A+M that will make us miss Florida when we move to North Carolina for a month before we head off to Rome, Italy! We actually have one wedding in Raleigh while we're there, and we're in the process of booking couples who want session while we're in Rome! This wedding was so super Miami, it was amazing. From the rain to the colors to the all night dancing! We were singing Despacito and Vivir Mi Vida all the way home. From the newlyweds: "It all started with a quesadilla and a pizza. Okay, that’s a little cheesy. But that meal at Sunset Tavern in South Miami was Mike and Andrea’s first together even though they grew up two miles apart and were separated by one year at the University of Miami. The distinctly South Florida couple fell in love in Miami, overcame the challenges of a long-distance relationship, and are now thriving in Connecticut; Mike teaching public relations as a college professor and Andrea helping Hartford’s youth as a social worker. Mike and Andrea may reside in Connecticut, but the couple calls Miami “home.” Returning to Miami is a special occurrence for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and now, an amazing day." The beautiful ceremony took place at St. Andrew’s Episcopal Church followed by a festive reception at Deering Bay Yacht and Country Club. Their loved radiated even in downpour. Thankfully we had a few minutes of dry and we ran out to the golf course for photos and to find some of the peacocks! Their wedding party was equally enthusiastic and supportive as we took some group photos in the drizzle. It was a first for us to have a mascot show up to the party! The crowd went nuts with the University of Miami Ibis walked through the doors. We truly loved celebrating and singing with A+M and we wish y'all all the best!

Raleigh Wedding Photographer | The Bonnet House | Fort Lauderdale, Florida | Andrea + Jeff5/16/2018 Neutral & Tropical Spring South Florida WeddingAndrea and Jeff's wedding day in For Lauderdale, Florida was one of the most relaxed and easygoing Drew and I have covered. Their engagement photos with their pup was soooo much fun so I knew wedding day would be a breeze. I dropped Drew off at Jeff's amazing apartment with views of the skyline while I headed to the beach to capture Andrea getting ready with her bridesmaids and moms. Andrea glowed in her off the shoulder, classic lace, sweet heart gown and the pops of green were the perfect compliment to the neutral and spring time pallet. Their first look was so wonderful! If you don't know by now, Drew and I are huuuuge fans of first looks. Wedding days tend to be a hectic and the couple is constantly surrounded by people. The first look is a time where they can have that special and intimate moment together. Drew and I always like taking a few snaps of the reaction then stepping away so they can have a moment with each other. The Bonnet House is the most beautiful location. You can actually go take a tour of the grounds! This historic 1920's ocean front home is full of color, textures, and plants. It's a little oasis in the middle of Fort Lauderdale! Their touching ceremony took place beneath the palm trees and was centered around their love story. It was so unique because the officiant went through how they met, funny side stories, who was important along the journey, and even recognized their parents during the ceremony. Their reception was a party! Drew and I have never seen so many guests stay until the end and dance the entire time. It was a clear testament of how much their friends and family love these two and continued celebrating long after we left. We truly adore Andrea and Jeff and it was such an honor to dance along side them and capture so many special memories! Come visit us in Rome please!!!

Raleigh Elopement Photographer | Oaks at Heavenly San Antonio, Texas Wedding | Laura + Tyler5/4/2018 Vintage Romantic Texas Hill Country Wedding
This wedding was so beyond special! If you follow me on Instagram you know I can't stop gushing about Laura and Tyler and the amazing weekend. Laura and Tyler are two friends I met in Raleigh, North Carolina before Drew and I moved to Miami, Florida. They're originally from Texas where they first met in middle school, starting dating in high school, went to college, and then were engaged! You can read all about their amazing proposal story on The Knot's How He Asked. I was sad to leave the Triangle so soon after befriending this amazing couple but we managed to stay in touch. I was blessed, humbled, and honored when they asked me to photograph their wedding. It was like my own proposal story! They picked me up from the airport when I flew back into Raleigh for a wedding, took me to my favorite tea house in Chapel Hill, and popped the question! Haha that is the kind of genuine, thoughtful, and loving humans they are.
I knew this wedding would be a dream come true and it exceeded anything I could dream up! Obviously they're a model status couple, the rustic chic details were lovely, and their locations were to die for. But the whole weekend was a gift! I was able to stay with Laura's group of friends, The Squad, go to rehearsal dinner, and be welcomed like family. I'm already ready for the next Squad gathering! I think Rome, Italy might be a contender location! (If you haven't heard, Drew and I will be moving to Rome from October 11-January 8 followed by a few months on New Zealand's South Island and Trollhattan, Sweden.) I love how everything came together from the matching PJs, to the dried flower bouquets and mixed bridesmaids dresses, to the notes and first looks, to the handmade signs and the pizza bar! I adore the school pride photos too! I think the sassy wedding party are my favorite ever because it wasn't even my idea haha! I could go on and on about how joyful this celebration was and how much I love L+T. So please enjoy these sweet moments (I just posted like all the because I couldn't choose) and thank you times a billion Laura and Tyler for letting me join the festivities!!
