I absolutely LOVED everything about R. Jai Howard and Andrew Gillum’s beautiful wedding on May 24. To begin with, they are one of the genuinely nicest couples I’ve ever met. They are also beautiful, smart and perfect for eachother. They are going to have a great life together. Their wedding and reception was heartfelt, gorgeous and so much fun. Kenya Washington of Imagine Wedding and Event Planning. made sure the event ran smoothly. The fabulous Missy Gunnels created the awesome bouquets and arrangements (loved the hot pink!) The exquisite cakes were by Tiki’s Tasties. MegaAce provided the music that kept everyone on the dance floor.

Here are some highlights from the wedding:

The Jenkins Family

May 27, 2009

Four generations of the Jenkins family got together for a family portrait at Maclay Gardens. I photographed grandaughter Tiffany’s wedding to Josh Sturms several years ago. Now they have two kids and a minivan! It was great to see them again.

Hailey, Andy and Dawson

May 27, 2009

I photographed Hailey, Andy and Dawson while they were enjoying a long weekend at Alligator Point. It was cool and cloudy- not the best beach weather, but great for photos! Dawson is an absolute angel. He was so cute and well behaved.

Heather and Danny

May 27, 2009

Heather Ciaccio and Danny Shampaner’s love for eachother is really inspiring. I actually left their wedding pledging to put a little more effort into my own marriage. These two absolutely adore eachother. Danny’s happiness is Heather’s top priority and Heather’s happiness is Danny’s. Heather and Danny were married at Killearn Country Club on May 16. They are starting their careers as science teachers in fall. Best of luck Mr. and Mrs. Shampaner!

Sophie’s Recital 2009

May 27, 2009

My 8 year old, Sophie, had her ballet and tap recital May 8. She did a great job! I am so proud of her. She has taken ballet and tap at Sharon Davis School of Dance since she was three. I highly recommend Sharon Davis to anyone who is looking for a dance school. Sophie’s teacher, Ms. Jackie is fantastic with the kids. Sophie really enjoys it.

It’s Cooper!

May 27, 2009

Welcome to the world, Cooper! I visited Cooper for his second Baby Plan session. He was only about two weeks old here. His proud parents, Kathryn and Robin, are enjoying these precious first weeks with him. They have created such a calm, soothing environment for him at home. He is a serene, sweet little guy.
