My favorite weddings are the small and intimate ones. Although it’s fun to photograph extravagant weddings with all their details, colors, flowers, and eloquent ball rooms, quaint weddings simply touch my heart. Viviana’s and Nathan’s wedding was short and sweet! I wish you both the very best.
Whoops I have been so busy lately that I have not been able to read through all the comments many of you left under my “Go Ahead Ask Me” Section. My kids and I have been busy and truly enjoy spending time together so I have been blogging less. I hope you all still come back from time to time to see what great weddings and photo shoots I have done.
So many of you awesome photographers and beginner photographers have sent me comments with GREAT questions that I PROMISE I will get to as soon as I can. I just wanted to let you all know I heard your questions and haven’t forgotten about them.
Ok, I know this next photo has nothing to do with my post but I can’t help but share it. Jaden just turned 7 years old on Feb. 9th and aside from him growing up so fast, we had a blast ice skating at Skate World! I haven’t been ice skating in over 10 years and couldn’t believe how quickly I picked it up again…maybe doing yoga and becoming better at balancing kind of helped me out a little on the ice there!
Jaden had many friends at his party…we were so proud of everyone that skated with much bravery! Most of Jaden’s friends had never gone ice skating before! Way to go everyone.

Boy was this engagement session paradoxical; in one sense it was a very cold and frigid one; yet in another, warm and amorous.
Despite the constant relentless chilling winds that brushed against our vulnerable faces, the warmth that exuded from Vanessa and David’s love, was enough to repair our numb and fragile toes. ; )
If it weren’t for their joyful spirits and indignation to endure the bitter cold temperatures, these photos would not have turned out so beautifully and sweet as they did.
Before I share some more photos I’d like to introduce you to this neat couple that refused to succumb to the ruthless weather Jacksonville presented itself to us on Sunday early evening.
Vanessa and David met at a UNF lab course studying to become Physical Therapists. For a long while, Vanessa was the least bit interested in David; however, David had his eye on her and waited patiently for her to come to her senses…LOL. Although attending the same lab class, it wasn’t until Vanessa realized they shared a mutual enjoyment for surfing, that peaked her interest in David. I liked it when Vanessa professed to me, “Here all this time the perfect man for me was right under my nose and I didn’t even know it!” …I think it’s more like “above my nose!” HA HA.
After three years of dating, they became engaged. I’m sure there’s more to their relationship, but I think the three of us were rather eager to retire to our heated cars, than to finish up with their story. Yeah, it was THAT bitter cold out! But I must admit, I truly enjoyed photographing them on the island and look forward to their wedding in April.
David and Vanessa’s song is: Lucky by Jason Mraz. I thought it appropriate to use their special song for their slideshow.
