Small and intimate, Natalie and Chad had the perfect wedding shortly before COVID hit. It was such a lovely, lovely day and I know these two look back on this day with such fondness. One of my favorite places for getting ready photos are at private houses in Key West.  Renting a vacation home is […]

From the beginning, I knew that Meagan and Thomas were not only madly in love, but that they were going to throw an epic party for their guests.  And it was, without doubt, a weekend to remember. One of my favorite collections that I offer for wedding clients is the weekend package. I am there […]

Christen and Jeff had a lovely Key West destination wedding at the historic Casa Marina.  Conceived by the railroad tycoon Henry Flagler, Casa Marina opened its doors in 1920 as a resort for the wealthy patrons of Flagler’s Overseas Railroad.  The luxury and extravagance still remains today as this historic property continues to amaze and […]

Stacy and Andrew had a Key West wedding that centered around one thing. Cats. As a cat-loving, wedding-photographer, when they told me all they really wanted were tons and tons of photos with the Hemingway cats, I knew we would get along just fine. Once again, getting ready photos at The Lighthouse Court – on […]

The past 10 years I haven’t shot as many engagement sessions as I use to. Living near Key West, almost 100% of my clients were destination couples – which was amazing but didn’t lend itself to the opportunity for engagement shoots that often. Engagement shoots are nice because you get to know each other before […]

If I could describe Emmi and Sergiy’s Key West wedding with one phrase it would – the absolute perfect destination wedding.  Not only did they have celebrations at my two favorite Key West venues – Casa Marina Resort and The Hemingway Home, but their wedding was the epitome of classic beauty and elegance. With friends […]

A Wedding of Rain and Fog and Absolutely Stunning Images. In case you have missed it,  I now officially shoot in two locations – Key West and Knoxville.  Knoxville is our more permanent location but, when our Florida Keys house is not rented out, we will go down there some too. I adore photographing but […]

Whether you are planning a Key West wedding,  a Knoxville wedding, or a wedding in a romantic castle (yes, please!) anywhere in the world, there is nothing more informative and helpful than advice directly from other recently married couples. Wedding planning is hard.  It can be overwhelming and frustrating and that is where hiring seasoned […]

Cocktail Hour and Reception This is another time of day when you really don’t have a lot of worry with photos.  I will be there, most likely until the end of the night photographing away. There is really very little you need to be concerned with from my perspective.   Depending on the schedule and […]

The ceremony is pretty easy.  You just do your thing and follow what the officiant says.  Easy. Kind of. Most couples honestly think this is the most stressful part of the day; it is, after-all the main event of the day, the reason you are there. From a photography standpoint, there is really very little […]
