Amanda & Brian - EPCOT Engagment Shoot

Amanda, Brian and I ignored the weather, which was full of thunderstorms, to shoot down at Disney's EPCOT. The entire drive down to the park, rain was full force, but this is Florida and storms come and go. Call it Disney magic, but as soon as we started with the first photo... bam... blue skies!! I will admit that it was really, really hot and even more humid. In fact, towards the end of the night, between humidity and sweat, I actually had equipment issues. Thank God for the back up stuff!

Anyway, here is a sample of the night:



Ok, its a bit corny and it was my idea, but it works...

Ashley & Alex's Sanibel Island Wedding

What more is there to say, Sanibel Island, summer, private golf course... beautiful wedding. Ok... Ok, there is a small tie in to this wedding that is pretty funny. Here is the "condensed" story:

I was introduced to Ashley and Alex from a mutual friend of my wife's, Josh Stephany. Ashley and Josh work in the same office at the Orange County Medical Examiners' office. From that office, Dr G Medical Examiner, on Discovery Health is filmed. Ashley is a Forensic Evidence Recovery Technician and Dr Josh Stephany is a Associate Medical Examiner. Josh and my wife met when Josh was an intern at ORMC. They have been great friends ever since. Tailing all this 7 degrees stuff is a stint my wife and I did at the hospital for both of us having Viral Meningitis. Turns out the Infectious Disease doctor in charge of the two of us was none other than Dr G's husband, Dr Mark Wallace. So, Josh refers to us around the office as his Meningitis friends. Josh wasnt able to make it to the wedding, so when I went up to Dr G and her husband and introduced myself as someone other than just the 'wedding photographer' and said that I was one of Josh's Meningitis friends, they laughed. Of course, Dr Wallace remembered me once I said something but the whole story is kind of commical.

Enough about that... on to the photos.

I love the walk from the altar after the ceremony... I mean, come on, can you be any happier than at this point??





I love this photo!!




This was a drinking crowd... I stopped to shoot at the bar quite often that night!





There was some yummy chocolates in these boxes.



The start of the conga line...



Where do DJs get all these freaking hats?





So here is a shot of Dr G (left), from Dr G Medical Examiner, on Discovery Health.

eShoot - Angel and Aleem

I got a couple of engagement shoots done in the last week, but forgot to post them.

The first of those are from Angel and Aleem. We shot in my favorite spot at Avalon Park, but also drove to a new destination just down the road. The problem was that we lost the sun setting behind some homes, so we jumped in the car again and tried to make it back to our original spot. The sun was sinking too fast and I made a last minute decision to jump out at a very large retention pond and finish shooting there. It turned out to be a great place to get that last bit of light... you will see this site again!!

Here are some of my favorites...

Angel had taken off her shoes when she got on the swing. After we were done shooting there, Aleem put them back on... it was such a simple gesture, but so sweet.
