I was so happy to finally get to work with Holly and Scott. They are getting married at Isleworth in May (you are going to want to stay tuned for those shots) but for now you will have to settle for their totally awesome engagement photos at the Portofino Bay Hotel. I am sure you will all agree that they are such a stylish looking couple. The Portofino normally does not allow engagement sessions unless you are having an event there but Holly and Scott got special permission due to the fact that they got engaged there and will be staying there for the first leg of their Honeymoon. The second part of their honeymoon will be in Italy. So, this was a very special engagement session at a very Italian themed location. I had a blast working with them and I am very excited to get to spend their wedding day with them.
See...look how good they look together!
And how much they love each other!
This is the exact spot where he proposed.
I love the bright colors they wore.
I love the next two portraits of them. They look so relaxed and soooo happy toghether!
They are both UF graduates and huge fans so they brought some clothes to change it up a bit.
Just strolling around Italy, errr I mean Orlando.

Avani and Joel's Isleworth Wedding
For all of you frequent visitors I am sure that you remember the wonderful Avani and Joel from their Indian ceremony last month. I promised that you will get to see Avani and Joel's Isleworth wedding, so here it is. First, I want to start by saying how grateful and appreciative I am for all of the positive feedback I have received from everyone on the images from that event. Such wonderful feedback is what gives my work meaning. I am so happy I was able to bring such joy to your families. And the best part is, I get to do it again. I was so excited to hang out with Avani and Joel again. They are such an amazing couple and they were such a joy to work with once again. And to top it all off, they also picked one of the coolest places to get married, Isleworth Country Club. Everything was as perfect as can be. From all the details on up everything was stunning. And with out further ado, here are some shots from the event. Don't forget to check out the slideshow at the end of the post.
Avani looked so good! I love these next few pictures of her.
Her gorgeous flowers were by DSR Designs.
Joel calm and relaxed before the wedding.
This next shot is Lisa's (my assistant). You can just barely see me in the black shirt to the left hiding with the guests. Video is on the right with the tripod, he blends in pretty good too. This shot totally ROCKS! Thaks Lisa!! I soooo very much love this image. I am sure Avani and Joel will agree.
When you are at Tigers home...you just have to pay your respect!
Another of my favorites.
They were so awesome, so relaxed and so in love.
The ballroom looked incredible!! Uplighting by Bryan Taylor linnens by BBJ
They were introduced to Beautiful Day by U2, so I thought it appropriate for their slideshow. Enjoy!

Christine and Graham's Engagement Session
Here are some shots from Christine and Graham's engagement session. We met up at Lake Lilly and took a stroll around the lake. It was quiet and peaceful and it was just us. They look so great together and did fantastic in front of the camera. We will all be at the Grand Bohemian downtown Orlando in just a couple weeks for their roof top wedding. I am very excited to see what they have planned. From what she has told me, it is going to be amazing!
It was a little cold at first, so they were quite snuggly and it made for some great photography!
Christine looks so comfortable in Graham's arms.
Too cute!

Jessica and Derek's Wedding
Jessica and Derek had their wedding on Saturday at The Mission Inn. You might remember Jessica and Derek from their engagement session at Disney's Boardwalk a few months ago. They are such a wonderful couple and I was really looking forward to sharing their day with them. They did not disappoint, the weather was absolutely perfect and their special day was flawless. We had the greatest time!
Her bouquet had these gorgeous purple flowers that smelled so good!! The flowers were by Blossom's.
I love this shot of Jessica. She was such a beautiful bride!
Everything was purple and blue.
Detail of the back of the girls' dresses.
The whole room was done up so well!! There were all these lights, candles and fabric. The ceiling swagging and sweetheart table backdrop were both done by Wedding Specialties and the linens were done by BBJ Linens.
They went to a winery and had their own custom blend of wine made then used one of their engagement photos for the bottles. They made such great favors, I LOVED this idea!!
The cake with the lights in the background.
More sparkle from the lights.
Did I mention how good the lights made the room look (and their photos).
We had the best light of the day to do some relaxed portraits.
Such a great image, I love the passion.
They even got the perfect sunset.
And a slide show. The music is "Have you ever been in love" by Kimberly Locke.
