Karina + VJ

Karina and VJ are such a sweet couple and so excited to get married October 20th!!  We can't wait to capture their wedding story!!  They wanted a romantic and elegant location for their engagement session and inside the Columbia in Ybor was the perfect place with the wine cellar amd all the archways and tile.  Here's a few of our favs!! xoxoxo

Nazario Family

This session was one of my favorites of all time.  Also one of the quickest, about 3 minutes:-)  Holly has been a good friend of mine basically since we've moved to Florida and I was so honored and excited when she asked David and I to join her family at the offical adoption hearing of their new little boy to their family.  They have been foster parents to him and recently had the opportunity to have him join their family.  Micah David is 2 and so cute!  He is the perfect fit for their family and you can tell his big sister and brother Heaven and Isaiah just love him!  It was about a 10 minute court hearing and the judge was so sweet we even got a picture with her as well.  David and I have started this journey as well and Holly has inspired us to begin the process and it's so awesome seeing how a happy outcome can be!  Love you guys!! xoxox 

{Christa + Robey @Hollywood Venue}

Christa and Robey had so many personal details that really made their wedding day so special.  Christa's bouquet was made of her grandmother's broaches, mom and dad's, and a gator broach.  Robey surprised Christa with a beautiful watch as a gift and she gave him a Bible that has been passed down in their family for generations.  They didn't quite see each other beforehand but they did pray together across the curtain from each other while Robey was blindfolded:-) At the beginning of the ceremony they played a voice clip of each of them saying how much they loved each other and they thanked their parents for raising them.  Very sweet and a surprise for their parents.  The reception was decorated with hints of deep blue and blue uplighting.  Christa and her dad had a pretty amazing first dance totally choreographed.  They danced the night away and ended with sparklers!  Congrats Christa and Robey!! xoxoxo
