A few days ago, I shot engagement photos for Darren and Nicole at the location of their choice- Morikami Museum and Gardens in Boca Raton, Florida.
What a gorgeous location! The sun was ridiculously bright and lots of visitors were touring the gardens, which made for interesting conversations with many strangers!
Who's familiar with Frank Sinatra's song "When You're Smiling"? Anyone? Anyone? Please feel free to be reminded here. Nicole's infectious smile had me humming the tune the whole time we were walking around the gardens.
For those who have not visited Morikami, here are 2 shots that give you a great idea of what it's like:
Isn't it beautiful?!
Look at their eyes!!! GORGEOUS!
You really can't run out of great locations at Morikami, but you know what helps? Couples willing to let loose and have a good time:
Let's review shall we?
Recipe for success:
1) Blue-eyed people willing to dance in public
2) Location filled with cool Bonsai trees and lots of tourists
3) Florida sun hyped up on RedBull
Mix all ingredients and enjoy!

You know, it's funny how when I get home from shooting photos, and I start looking through them, how what you learned from spending time with someone matches up with what you see in the photos.
I have a tendency of, after taking photos of a wedding or an event, letting them sit untouched for a few days so that I can come back to the pictures with a fresh outlook (I realize I used to do this when writing papers in college- write it, leave it alone for a few days, then come back to it and re-read it once I've forgotten some of the details). When I started editing Alyssa & Paul's photos, I realized that she is cracking up in just about every one of them... and I realized just how petite she really is!
We stopped to take a photo and Alyssa recommended we start by doing a "Saved By the Bell"-esque, Kelly and Zack, Super BFF photo, just to loosen things up:

I'd say that's about as close as you can get, short of having Mark- Paul Gosselaar and Tiffany Amber Thiesen there!
As we walked along, I saw this super cute giant dog metal statue thing, that I guess had not sold as quickly as the shop owners had hoped:

I found this crazy crooked tree and stopped, attempting to get a very romantic photo, but got more laughs instead, which was just fine with me!
Then, walking out towards the ocean, we found this beautiful, rickety old fence
which led us to one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in Florida, and my favorite shot of the day:
PS: somewhere in this fabulous sand, my Bluetooth fell out of my ear and is now probably being eaten by a crab or a lobster or something. If anyone finds a sad, lonely, blinking its last blink Bluetooth somewhere on the beach, please contact me!
KaleyB:
Beautimous!

Noelle:

In putting up photos of Jess and Cole's wedding, I realized I had not posted any pics from their engagement session, taken about 8 months before the wedding.
These pictures were taken in Seaside, Florida- the place where the couple planned on honeymooning.
I love this photo because it shows Jessica's awesome smile... she says she doesn't love it because it looks like she's trying to bite off his eyebrow. You be the judge:

Check out Jessica's pimptastic engagement ring, designed by Cole and a jeweler: BLING!
This one is my favorite of the day- it makes me feel all happy inside

I was going through the photos of Monica & Scott's wedding and I remembered this one picture I took of them when we did their engagement photos that I just loved, and I thought I would share it:
I don't think I ever asked what it was that Scott was whispering into her ear, but whatever it was, it made for about the best 'cracking up' face ever. I love when you look at a photograph and you can almost feel what it would have been like to have been there, to have been one of the people in the photo. Looking at Monica's face, at the way the two of them interacted with each other made me feel so happy and proud that I was going to get to be a part of this awesome duo's wedding :)
