Dominique’s Maternity Session

In just a week and a half Dominique is expecting her first baby.  Time may seem to go by slowly with how anxious Dominique and her husband are to meet their baby, but once the baby arrives time will fly by!  She came over for her maternity session to capture memories of this special time.  When she pulled up, mom was putting us in the car to leave and little brother decided to show Dominique and her husband what their lives would soon be like.  He threw a toddler tantrum about putting his shoes on, but they didn’t seem phased at all.  They are going to be wonderful parents:).  Good luck and we cannot wait to meet the new baby!

Kristen’s Maternity Session

Kristen is such a gorgeous mama to be!  She came over for her maternity session a week ago and truly had that pregnant mommy glow.  In just a few weeks she will be able to meet her little boy.  We can’t wait to meet him as well.  Good luck Kristen!  We are so happy to be part this time of excitement and anticipation!

Cindy and Bruce’s Engagement Session in Ybor City

We are blogging a little out of order while we catch up!  Weddings from the Friday and Saturday before last are soon to come.

Last Sunday dad had a fun day with four sessions.  He started his morning in Ybor City with Cindy and Bruce.  They were so much fun!  Dad really enjoyed walking around Ybor with them and said they kept him smiling.  He said they were very upbeat and happy for being there so early in the morning!

Cindy and Bruce are getting married in Boston next fall and dad is super excited to be going there to photograph their wedding!  Since the wedding is on dad’s birthday weekend, we decided that we would all go and make a family trip out of it.  We can’t wait!  Hope you had a nice trip down here, and see you in the fall Cindy and Bruce!

Melissa and Enrique at the Lake Mary Events Center

We are back to blogging and have so much to share!

Just after dad got back from Vegas, he joined Melissa and Enrique for their wedding at the Lake Mary Events Center.  We love this location!  The couple had a lakeside ceremony before their reception in the rotunda.  There was a violinist playing beautiful music during the ceremony and a harpist joined her for the reception.  In a Filipino wedding, it is tradition for the groom to present wedding coins to the bride as a symbol of prosperity for their future family.  They also included the veil ceremony where a veil is draped and pinned on the couple to show two people clothed as one.  Melissa and Enrique had a cocktail party style reception and their guests enjoyed visiting with one another and sharing their congratulations with the newlyweds.

Melissa and Enrique, thanks for having dad there to share your day!  Mabuhay!!

It was very windy during the ceremony, so Melissa and Enrique did a symbolic lighting of the unity candle:)

Chelsea and Justin’s Wedding Part Three: Day After Shoot in Las Vegas

The day after Chelsea and Justin’s wedding, they got back into their wedding clothes and headed out for more pictures.  The strip, casinos, and Elvis…it was definitely a Vegas style session!

Thanks again to Chelsea and Justin for having dad join you for your trip.  Dad said it was awesome and he came back with so many funny stories about his time with you two and your families.  Everyone was so wonderful to him and made him feel like he was just another friend there to celebrate the wedding.  We hope you two stay in touch as the years go on!
