The ceremony took place at the Hollis Garden in Lakeland, follow by an awesome reception party at the Peggy Brown Building. One of my most favorite parts of the whole wedding is an image I captured while Jessica walked her way down to the front and the tears of joy and happiness Craig let out as he watched her. This was breathless. Another one I love is when they were listening to their pastor speak about the meaning of marriage and the roles they will take on as a husband and wife. Continue reading
The order of this wedding was very very unique. They started with the ceremony, followed by a toast and cutting of the cake with some of their guest. Shortly after that, they ended the night meeting their guest for dinner at Arabellas Italian Ristorante. Continue reading
Florida summers can never be counted on for beautiful days 100% of the time. Seems like every shooting day, I wake up to clouds covering about 90% of the sky. Particularly this morning, we attended church and hung out with our awesome friends after service, as we usually do. Every now and then, I’d peek outside just to see if the clouds cleared up a few but my hope slowly grew to a fade because it just keep getting worst or staying the same. 2 hours before the session time, it began to rain. Really? Eduardo would call back and forth asking if we should reschedule or just go for it. I requested for us to wait just about an extra hour. Sure ’nuff (yea, i know i said it), thankfully the rain stopped and the skies cleared a bit more. In Florida, you just never know these days. We proceeded to meet at our appointed time. The sky looked nicer as I kept driving 30 minutes west.
I have to admit I was nervous on my way. Just pondering whether it was a good idea to not reschedule this shoot. On top of that, it was my first time meeting Eduardo and Ruth in person and the first time shooting in this location ever. Talk about feeling pressure.
So I arrive and finally see them from afar. Boy oh boy!!! Let me just say how wonderful these two lovebirds are. I absolutely fell in love with them. Our phone conversations about their upcoming wedding were absolutely out of this world, so meeting in person we instantly connected. Ruth was filled with such great energy and happiness. I was so proud of them for having the courage to be themselves in front of my lens and I was very impressed with their homework because let me tell you something, these guys came prepared with all types of poses they practiced on their own.st made me giggle so much. I thought I won a bid here. They made my job so easy. They are completely in love with each other and I’m completely confident their love was reflected in this session. Ruth and Eduardo, I am so honored to document your special day in this November and anxiously waiting that grand moment. Thank you so much for choosing me!!
