First off, let me apologize for the fact that I am like, well, over a year late in posting this.  I had a few posts (you will see them all shortly) that had apparently been saved in the drafts section.  Oops!

Anyway, Julie & Lacey had a Day After session, but Julie decided she had plenty of photos in her wedding dress and wanted photos in regular clothes.  I guess it was like an engagement session in reverse order.

Oh, and guys, I will always remember your session for one reason in particular…I was about 6 weeks pregnant at the time and this session was the first time I dealt with morning sickness.  I don’t think Julie & Lacey were aware (at least I hope they weren’t) of what was happening with me, but I was thankful that we did a few outfit changes.  To the bushes at Sugar Mill Gardens, I apologize.

Here are my favorite images from their day.  Really, they are such a sweet and wonderful couple.  I wish you guys the best!

I would like to say that I am not normally a fan of sun flare and I think it can look cheesy at times.  However, I love the way the above photo turned out.  : )

Sara & Kyle’s wedding was in November 2008.  You have probably seen their wedding & engagement photos around on my site.  Two of my favorite wedding shots are from their wedding:

We did their engagement session in July 2007 (man that seems like a long time ago!).  Let me tell you, these two are troopers!  I think we picked the hottest day in July to do their shoot.  Our last location was at UCF, and getting in that cool reflecting pool was such a treat:

Okay, so on with the reason of this post.  Sara & Kyle celebrated their one year anniversary with a Day After/Trash the Dress shoot.  This couple is pretty much up for anything & is such a joy to photograph.  I had a new location where I wanted to photograph & of course Sara & Kyle were up for the challenge.  You will see the new location below which is the one with the columns.  I love how they came out & will definitely be returning!  We had attempted to go to Sugar Mill Gardens to start off our day.  However, once we arrived there, we found out there was actually a wedding going on!  Sara had to change into her dress before we began shooting, so she had to change there.  While Sara was sitting on a bench, a garden worker came up to her & was so happy that they found the bride!  Sara replied that she was not the bride & then we got dirty looks & a couple of unkind words.  Sheesh, we were leaving!

Enough with my commentary, here are some of my favorites from the day.

In case you can’t tell from the above pictures, I absolutely love the back of Sara’s dress.  It is stunning!

I would like to add that the sky in the above photo is 100% in camera with no Photoshopping.  Florida sunsets are just amazing!

Courtney & Eric are good friends of mine who had great candid photographs from their wedding, but not many photos of just the two of them.  (Disclaimer – I was not their wedding photographer!)  We decided to take a trip to the Ocala National Forest with Courtney in her wedding dress to see what we could do.  There were a lot of images that I really love & here are just a few.
