White Wedding {teaser} [Destin,FL Photographer]

I was lucky enough to get a call from Mrs.Renita Martin White asking me to photograph her November 6th Wedding on the Solaris in Destin, Florida. This was my first time shooting a wedding on the Solaris, or any boat for that matter! I was a little nervous about how I would do. but it was actually really easy! Since the ceremony and reception are in one place there isn't a lot of running around! and WOW, the view is beautiful when you are on top of the boat for the ceremony. Then we headed inside the boat for the reception. The sunset was gorgeous and the food was amazing! 

Here are some of my favorites from the day:) 

Renita & John it was wonderful meeting and working with you and your family & friends. I had a great time sharing this special day with you! I wish you nothing but love & happiness as your spend the rest of your lives together.

The Hick Wedding {teaser} [Tallahassee, FL Wedding Photographer]

I've known Beth for many years. I think we met at Church, but we went to school together from middle school on as well. Beth has always been one of the sweetest people I've known. I have never seen her be mean to a single soul. Even back in the high school days! I wish I could say that about myself. She has such a caring personality. I was so happy when she called me and asked me to be her wedding photographer!

Here are some of my favorites from her big day!

[ and this last one is my favorite from the whole day ]

Beth it was an honor to photograph your wedding for you. You were such a beautiful bride. It was a lovely ceremony and reception, and it was great to share those special moments with your friends and family. I wish you and Gerry a lifetime full of love and happiness.

[Kyli Grace]

There are some things in life I'll just never understand. One of them is why God calls on the young and innocent. Why any parent should go through the pain of losing a child? But I know one day I will understand. 

I was lucky enough to work with Kyli and her Family in July. I never thought at the time that would be the last time I would see her. Kyli passed away on August 25th of this year. Just a week or so past her first birthday. 

I made this slideshow for her Mommy, Tara. I know she is going through the worst pain there is. Tara, I know there is nothing I can do to comfort you or help relieve the pain, but I hope this reminds you of happy times and warms your soul knowing what a happy child she was while she was here. 

If you are a parent, give your kiddos an extra kiss tonight for Kyli<3

Many Blessings your way! and in a few years when that first "little miracle" comes along you know who to call=) I can't wait to meet Baby Wright<3
