Portraits - Safety Harbor, FL: Kara and Chris

Life has a tendency to get very busy. Kara is one of my best friends, and for her birthday back in March I gave her the gift of photos... family photos... of her, her husband, and their dog Kodi. The last time they had official portraits done was for their wedding over 4 years ago, and since then, their family photos have consisted of setting the timer on her camera and running over and hoping Kodi would cooperate in time for the timer to go off. It wasn't until this past weekend that our schedules FINALLY lined up and we were able to meet up and take them. Of course, it wasn't a bad thing that we waited until the scorching heat of summer had subsided down here in Florida. I'm so happy we finally made time to do this!

We found this cool old car in front of an auto shop and stopped in for a few fun photos.

These two are huge Gator fans so as much as it pained us to photograph, we had to capture a few in gameday attire.

Wedding - Homestead, FL: Erica and Matt

Erica and Matt are one of the nicest couples we have met, and the love and happiness between them is contagious. Their wedding was held at Matt's grandparent's property down in Homestead, FL and everyone welcomed us in as one of the family. The weather was gorgeous except for the cold front that had just come through and the guests from Florida (including us) were a little chilly. Here are some of our favorite shots from around the property which had everything from beautiful gardens to old machinery.

The setting for the reception was beautiful with lights strung across the dancefloor and candles hanging from the trees.

Thanks for including us in your beautiful day, we wish you both many years of happiness!
