Fall Wedding at Town Manor on the Lake in Auburndale, FL

Fall Wedding at Town Manor on the Lake in Auburndale, FL

There are just not enough words to describe how sweetly wonderful it was to photograph the wedding of Keila & Joey at the elegant Town Manor on the Lake in Auburndale, FL. Their kindness and respect for each other was evident in everything they did and the love of their families floated around them like a cloud all through the day. What started out as a rainy, windy day cleared up long enough to have their ceremony in front of the gorgeous white gazebo where the florals matched the bouquets held by all the beautiful bridesmaids,

After the ceremony, we were able to venture out onto the dock overlooking Lake Julianna as the sun was beginning to set. Just before we all went in for dinner, Keila and Joey shared their first dance as husband and wife, surrounded by friends and family, on the brick balcony with an epic view of the lake.

Thank you so much for choosing me to photograph your lovely Town Manor wedding. It is always such a joy to be there!

Joe and Cher could have written the book on how to have the most gorgeous, romantic elopement at Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, FL. So much WOW in all their little details and the love between the two of them was almost visible in the air every time they looked at each other. Plus, they absolutely looked like classic movie stars from the 1950's.....so stunning!

Haines City, Florida Wedding of Camil & Garrett

Haines City, Florida Wedding of Camil & Garrett

Camil & Garrett and their sweet, joyful Haines City wedding were hands down the highlight of my August! Back in April I photographed Camil's sister's wedding at the gorgeous Town Manor on the Lake. When Camil got in touch with me to photograph her wedding, I was completely on board! The family is just that AWESOME!


This was a love story that began eight years ago when the two were in high school and blossomed into a grown-up fairytale. The beautiful couple was certainly one of the most kind couples I have had the pleasure of working with. Garrett cherishes Camil to no end and shows it in every possible way he can while Camil adores Garrett and everything about him! They are so perfect together and I am so thankful they chose me to photograph their lovely wedding day!

What is a Micro Wedding? Gorgeous Winter Park, FL Micro Wedding

There is something particularly magical about paring your guest list down to only the people that are closest to you. These are your cheerleaders, your confidantes, the people that wish you only joy and that energy permeates a wedding day and allows the couple to focus on their love and the love of those surrounding them. Micro weddings, when planned correctly can be a low stress, laid back affair and a fantastic way to start off married life together! So happy these sweethearts chose such a wonderful way to tie the knot!

The Club at Eaglebrooke Wedding of Leanne & Zachary, Lakeland, FL

Such a perfect, perfect day photographing the wedding of Leanne & Zachary at the gorgeous https://www.eaglebrooke.com/. Absolutely adored being part of their sweet day. What I love about Leanne and Zachary is that their hearts radiate JOY. Every step together is steeped in deep happiness and endless contentment, and I just LOVE them for it! Their romance started way back in eighth grade when they met at a poetry competition. That poetry carried over all the way into their emotional wedding ceremony at https://www.shepherdroad.com/ where there wasn’t a dry eye in the house as the two read their personal vows to each other.

From the church, we all headed over to The Club at Eaglebrooke here in Lakeland, FL, where I continued photographing their gorgeous wedding out on the greens, When the formal photos were all done, the sweethearts headed inside for a fun and laughter filled reception hosted by Chris Grainger of https://www.graingertainment.com/

Hope you enjoy this celebration at The Club at Eaglebrooke- I am so totally in LOVE!
