…Kate and Adam…
…married…
Kate and Adam are travelers of the world, but when it comes to matters of the heart they are no tourists. They love each other so, even Cupid would be jealous. Every word exchanged, filled with tenderness… every look, filled with joy and love…and when these two said “I do” not even the pastor could break their gaze. I think we could all learn a little bit about love just by being in the same room with Kate…and her Adam.
All week long it called for thunderstorms the day of their wedding, and when it finally came…not a drop of moisture was seen…but holy moses the winds were gail force. Needless to say, the veil didn’t last long.



now the picture to the right is so symbolic. The first thing you notice is Kate’s happy, precious spirit, and then you see the reflection of the woman responsible for it.





I just love a bride and her maids…makes me cherish my friends.



the next 2 shots are million dollar ones…love them to pieces.



i love flowers.


and I had to share the groom’s cake from Wedding Wonderland.

and just so you know…the reception was not only regal and elegant, but a rocking party as well.

okay that’s it.
Come November, I’m going to do another post with more pics I love from this fall’s weddings that I didn’t get to share…
Thank so so much to everyone from Saturday. You were all so welcoming and kind!

…I’m such a sucker…
…I can’t let a couple jet off to far away lands without seeing a pic…or two…from their wedding day. I will blog more on Wednesday, but for now I had to stop by and share just a couple from yesterday’s glorious wedding!


Have a great Sunday!!!

…honesty…
…such a small word with such a profound meaning. I have lived enough life to know how important this word is in every facet of life. Work, relationships, parenthood, the art of just being…all require honesty in order for the big dogs like love and happiness into your working vocabulary.
This next couple honestly love each other. and I honestly loved photographing the two of them. Can’t wait for July!


now seriously…Ali is so gorgeous! and while I’m being honest…Mark you should do yoga so your neck is more flexible…;)





now these sisters were so freaking adorable and so very honest. I was told I look like a candy corn…I guess I can see the connection. LOL.



oh and I have a wedding Saturday…pray for me that is doesn’t rain on us!

…Kate and Ryan…
…MARRIED…
so to say I adore this couple would be an understatement. They nursed me through an awful event…and as I have gotten to know them, I have realized that is WHO they are. Individually and separately. They take care of people…and together they take care of eachother. Ryan cooks for Kate almost every night, and when Kate hugs Ryan, you can just see the love radiating from her little heart right into his. As they stood at the altar Ryan caressed Kate’s hand and when they were pronounced husband and wife Kate let out the happiest “who-hoo” I have ever heard…lol! They love eachother, they adore eachother, they have choosen not to live without the other.
May it be happily ever after…
the day began with the girls doing girl stuff…



and boys doing boy stuff…


and then their first look…Can you see why I love this couple? Pure sweetness…


then off to the Piper Palm House where they held the ceremony and reception for portraits.

Sisters Flowers did an amazing job!!


I love a bride with her bridesmaids….

groomsmen are ok….just joshin…much love to these guys.

…now the next two moments are ones that Kate prayed for…her father to get to see her in her wedding dress, and then to be there to walk her down the isle…it was a glorious day.

…and another moment…Presenting Mr and Mrs Pias…

freaking love the joy that radiated from these lovely folks…

the reception was so elegant and beautiful…the details perfect…the jovial people…divine. Oh and the food…sigh.

and the last shot…I was so happy to have gotten…

Congratulations to both of your families! It was truly a gorgeous day filled with wonderful people!
Cake and cupcakes: Sweet Art
Make-up: Emily Miller- Delicately Bold
First look: Fleur De Lis Bed and Breakfast
