Engagement Shoot with Frances & Radames

Frances and Thadmes are another couple that got push aside by hurricane Fran. We had scheduled the original time as Fran slowed down while leaving central Florida and thought best that we should just reschedule. We had some overcast skies this time and it even look as though it might rain at one point. We stayed dry and got some great pictures in the process...

Here are some of my favorites.

Susan G. Komen - Race for the Cure

When I grow up, there’s gonna be a cure.

Thats the t-shirt my son will wear on Sunday, October 5th at Disney's Wide World of Sports. My family will be participating in Orlando's 12th annual Race for the Cure. My wife and I have walked this event each year since we met. The only one we missed was when Zach was born. This year, we are members of a team called "Pretty in Pink". If you follow the link you can donate to the Susan Komen research for breast cancer or, better yet, you can join our team and walk with us. Its a special event for my wife and her family and something that is very moving to be a part of. I will, of course, have my camera and challenge any of my bride and grooms to participate. Free photos for all!!

As the organizer and leader of the team, Shannon Stinson of A Belle Soiree Wedding and Events planned a fund raiser to raise additional money for the cure. She partnered with Cynthia at the Pink Heart Boutique, who hosted the event. We had a DJ, masseuse, a couple of gift baskets for a raffle and many other great things. Oh... I almost forgot!! I was there too. Below are some of my favorite photos from the evening.

Dont forget... if you want to participate or, at the very least, donate 5 or 10 dollars go to the "Pretty in Pink" team page and click the "Make a Gift" link on the right hand side.

Matt and Kayla's Wedding

Matt and Kayla got married at the Winter Park Farmer's market. Outdoor ceremony on nice balmy August day. After the wedding we moved inside and I shot what is probably one of my favorite locations. The building is an old train station and currently is the home to the Farmer's Market every Saturday morning. There is so much character inside with brick walls, old barn doors and an open ceiling showing the old iron rafters and wood ceiling.

I had a great time shooting and hope that you enjoy some of my favorites.

Matt and Kayla E-Shoot

I just want to say that Kayla and Matt are actually all ready married so technically this is just a portrait session. However, the scheduling had little to do with us than it did with Hurricane Fran. We rescheduled the shoot 4 or 5 times and got rained out each time... and not just rained out either. It was more of a deluge and blustery winds. So, we shot this just a few days after their wedding. So I will be posting the wedding pictures as soon as I can.

Anyway, we a good time and I hope you enjoy them!!
