Florida Beach Portraits

Saturday, July 24, 2010 at 10:53am

What an incredible summer we have had. The oil disaster in the Gulf has not slowed the desire to continue an age old tradition to have your family photos taken on the beach. Fortunately all our beaches have stayed free of oil. Janis and I have been overwhelmed by the number of sessions we’ve been able to book this year, and have thoroughly enjoyed meeting and playing with so many beautiful families on the beach. I created a collage that sums up this summer’s beach sessions. I hope you enjoy it.

Port St Joe Wedding Photographer: Summer & Carl’s Big Wedding Day

Monday, June 14, 2010 at 10:57pm

What did you do last week-end? We had the honor of shooting the beautiful wedding of Summer and Carl Hopper. The ceremony, with their family and many friends, was held on the tree shaded lawn of Centennial Park in the late afternoon of June 12, 2010. As the bride made her dramatic entrance, the air was filled with the soft aroma of magnolia blossoms and the lilting tones of the string musicians playing that familiar tune. After the ceremony, who could think of a better way to get to the reception but to hitch a ride in a 1908 Ford model T. Everyone smiled and honked their horns for “good luck” as the Model T round its way through Port St. Joe to The Beach Club, at Windmark Beach. There the clubhouse was expertly designed and beautifully decorated with satin and organza table cloths, framing the beautiful fresh flower arrangements, done in the Bride’s favorite colors. It was a perfect ending to a perfect beginning.

Port St Joe Wedding Photographer: Fran and Ben become Hokkanen

Wednesday, June 9, 2010 at 3:40pm

On a warn sultry afternoon on May 29th, Fran and Ben committed to become man and wife and join the Hokkanen Finnish family and end their single lives of lonely solitude. Ha! In reality they invited their best friends and family to celebrate their union at the quaint and cozy St Joseph’s Catholic Church in Port St Joe. After the ceremony we headed to Windmark Beach for some fun photos. We were very fortunate to run into Ryan Alexander, manager of the School of Fish Restaurant at Windmark Beach. He was a gracious host and invited us to use his restaurant as a backdrop for some of our shots. We then headed for the Tourist Development Council which sports a huge open air deck overlooking St Joe Bay. Under white tents decorated and lit by Rich Wynn of Panche Tent and Events and the co-operation of a cool breeze coming off St Joe Bay, the mood was set. That’s when the party started. Provisions provided the most beautiful, tastiest,colorful buffet I have ever seen! Beach Bartenders kept the crowd happy, singing and dancing. A beautiful ceremony, super fun reception with family and (very energetic) friends. This is their life and these are their pictures, enjoy!

Port St Joe Photographer: Lacey Strickland Strikes Again!

Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 9:54pm

Lacey goes On Location: Just like in the studio, she was a pro on location too. It was cold and dreary, but that did not slow Lacey one bit. We went from location to location, wing blowing, rain threatening, she was all in and game for more. I think Lacey has a great future in what ever field she chooses to pursue. She has a great attitude and really fun to work with. Go Lacey!!

Miami Beach Wedding Photographer : Beautiful Wedding at The Palms Hotel on South Beach

Thursday, March 18, 2010 at 7:59pm

Traveled down to sunny South Florida this past weekend to shoot the beautiful wedding of Viviana & George at The Palms Hotel on Miami Beach. The Palms is a beautiful hotel right on the beach with luscious tropical foliage surrounding a gorgeous pool. The weather recently in South Florida had been a bit cool, however it warmed up just in time to give us perfect weather for the wedding. The light was gorgeous as the ceremony began which made for beautiful pictures! Viviana & George were great to work with. Viviana wore a breathe taking gown complimented by an exquisite bouquet of calla lilies by Gio Vidal from Feel the Flowers. The reception was enjoyed by the guests with scrumptious food and lively music while celebrating this special day. Viviana & George had party favors to add to the fun as everyone danced the evening away. Congratulations and best wishes to the beautiful couple!
