{Daniel & Cristina | Wedding}

I love red hair. I love it so much that I wish I had red hair. There I said it. Seriously, can anyone think of something prettier than long, flowy, red hair? Probably not. The second I saw Cristina get out of her hair the day of her wedding, I knew it was going to be beautiful because of her hair. Silly I know, but it's the simple things in life, right?
Anyways, Daniel and Cristina got married at the Fern Forest Nature Center in Ft. Lauderdale, which is another one of those spots that I've never heard about even though I grew up in that area. It was so beautiful with all the trees surrounding the venue. The weather was perfect and everyone had such a great time celebrating the marriage of these 2 lovebirds. Daniel and Cristina, thank you so much for allowing me to document your big day and watch you guys just enjoy being with each other. You guys are wonderful!

Isn't she just gorgeous??









One of my favorites...



Look at his smile! Love it!

{Ben & Abby | Ft. Lauderdale Beach, FL}

Abby and I have been friends since the 4th grade. We met at a Wednesday night Bible study class at our church. I was new and she was the social butterfly. One of her first memories of me involves us switching shoes once we got to church because I wore platforms and she wasn't allowed to own a pair. Isn't that funny?? Oh Abby! Fast forward a decade (yikes!) and Abby met the man of her dreams :) Ben and Abby are so perfect for each other, you want to just sit back and watch. Their wedding was beautiful and the ceremony took place right by the beach. It was a pleasure being there to watch their 2 lives come together not only as the photographer, but also as a friend :)
Enjoy!









I LOVE Ben's face as Abby walked down the aisle! He's groomsmen were also so fun to watch!



Love this!



This is sooo Abby!





Definitely a favorite from the day :)

When Abby and Ben received the pictures in the mall, she sent me the sweetest email! This is what she wrote, "We LOVE them!!! You are an awesome photographer! We had all the ones we wanted and they look exquisite! We can't thank you enough for capturing the best parts of our special day!!! Thank you! :)"
Thank you so much!!

For this wedding, I was able to work with my good friend Jes. Check out her blog for more photos from the wedding and other great photo shoots!

{Ben & Abigail Sneak Peak!}

After it took me ALL day to make my 101 things to do list (I ran out of ideas after goal 10), I am constantly thinking of something else I should've put in it! One of the goals that should have been added is to consistently update my blog. Even if that means putting in some sneak peaks just so that everyone knows what's coming up or what to expect next.
So I'm posting a sneak peak to a wedding of a friend of mine that I have known since the 4th grade. Yep, the 4th grade :) Enjoy the preview now and check back in the next few days to see the full post!

{Up and Coming Musicians | Ft. Lauderdale}

Wow is it already December!? Middle to end of the semester time was tough this year! Anyways, I promised a new blog post 2 months ago, and well, here it is.

My cousin asked me to take pictures of a couple of his students a few months back since they were doing so well in their music lessons. I said yes for 2 reasons. #1 I am a huge advocate for good male teachers just like my cousin, Luis. Unfortunately, there's just not enough positive male figures around, and Luis is doing some amazing things with his students. #2 These guys are sooo talented! They're young and funny guys who are amazing musicians and have an exciting future ahead of them. Who wouldn't want to be around the next James Moseley or Dizzy Gillespie?
:)















Here's one of the 3 of them


At the end of the shoot, Luis and I took a quick picture together.
Love you Luis! I'm so very proud of you :) Te amo!
