Engagement: Christienne & Justin

I had such a great time doing Christienne and Justin’s engagement shoot. They were awesome to work with and very open to some of my crazy ideas and different locations.

During our drive Justin told me some great cop stories (he’s a police officer), but none that I can share here!

Engagement: Mar & Mark

Mar and Mark said they are always the ones taking pictures so it was a little awkward being in front of the camera — but they warmed up quickly.

Mar has the best laugh and Mark knows how to keep those laughs coming.

They let me take them to one of my more challenging locations. The first shot below is my favorite of the day!

(Thanks you two for being willing to make the hike)

Engagement Shoot: Kristen & Matt

When I asked Kristen what type of locations she wanted to use for her engagement shoot, she said “Anywhere but the beach!” She also sent me an email about a teal (”and I mean TEAL”, Kristen said) Betsey Johnson dress that she bought and asked if dressing up would be okay.

Heck yeah, of course it is!

I think I was even more excited about the teal dress than she was and I hadn’t even seen it yet.

Engagement Shoot: Courtney & Seth

Courtney and Seth are a rare thing: they are natives of Jacksonville. Their wedding is next month and I know it’s going to be fun because Seth had me laughing the whole time as we shot around the San Marco Square.

See you two in March!

Engagement Shoot: Sarah & Will

Sarah and Will wanted to do their Engagement Shoot out in Jacksonville Beach, but not in the standard white shirt and jeans. Unfortunately the only day we had available it was 38-degrees. It was so cold my ears and fingers hurt.

I think they did a pretty good job of looking warm and cool at the same time!

Engagement Shoot: Mary Kay & Michael

Mary Kay & Michael have the coolest love story. You could make a movie out of it!

They met in an airport in Ohio when their flight was delayed. At the Cinnabon counter Mary Kay said “I’ll have what he’s having” and Michael graciously offered to pay for the cinnamon roll. Mary Kay refused. Michael insisted. I can only imagine what the poor Cinnabon employee thought as the two bickered over who was paying.

Fast forward to last weekend, the two let me take them to a place I had been wanting to shoot at for a long time. Since they met in an airport I thought it would be really cool to photograph them in an airplane graveyard. I was so excited when they said they’d be up for it. So we braved the broken glass and bugs to get these pictures.

Thanks again guys!

Engagement Shoot: Audra & Greg

After finishing Audra & Greg’s engagement shoot I’m even more excited about their wedding in March.

In addition to the fact that they are getting married at one of my favorite venues, the Ribault Club, they are a really cool couple with lots of style.

Recent engagement shoots

I’ve been out-of-this-world busy lately, so here’s a catchup post of some recent engagement sessions.

Nicole and Derrick


Hazel & Rick



Leilani & Jeff


Engagement Shoot: Megan & Travis

Megan and Travis were a great couple to shoot because of their style and willingness to go to some of my off-beat locations around Jacksonville.

I am looking forward to their wedding this weekend. Their reception is in the newly-remodeled 5 Points Theater in Riverside, which will be the first time I’ve shot there.






Unfortunately Jim’s Fried Chicken was forced to close down because of the neverending construction on Hendricks Avenue. :(

Engagement Shoot: Melissa & Sebastian
