{Kim & Ryan: Naples Grande Wedding}

 Another wonderful Naples wedding at the Naples Grande.  I love photographing here.  It fits very well with our photographic style.  Kim and Ryan were so wonderful.  We did a quick engagement shoot the Wednesday before their wedding to get them and us warmed up for the wedding day and shoot and HOLY MOLY was the engagement shoot worth the time.  I thought the engagement shoot was great and they were super easy to get along with and photograph but 3 days later when I went to photograph the wedding it was like Kim and Ryan had been to modeling bootcamp.  On the wedding day they immediately were comfortable in front of the camera and turned it on.  This happens again and again.  I can't say enough for engagement sessions.  They allow the photographer to get to know the couple and how they need to shot and they let the couple see what the photographer is going to ask of them. 

Kim picked some great vendors:

Dress:  Mikaella

Flower Bouquets: Katie Hausmann (Kim's sister in law).  She was in the wedding, pregnant, and from out of town but as a florist herself she just had to do the bouquets and WOW did she do an amazing job!

Reception Flowers:  FLoral Encores

Video:  AMC VIdeo

Cake: Naples Grande

Shoes: Via Spiga

Bridesmaids Dresses: J Crew

The Brockinton's went to Washington CD a few weeks ago on vacation and while they were there they were lucky enough to meet up with a few of their brides who live in the area for their engagement sessions! This is Jaime and Michael. They are clearly adorable, and tons of fun. Stay tuned for more details from their shoot as told by Ashley Brockinton herself.

[Aaron and Maggie: South Seas Resort]

I just loved loved loved this wedding Captiva wedding at South Seas Resort. We were so proud to be the lucky wedding photographers. Maggie and Aaron were on time, the weather was perfect, they looked perfect, everyone had the best attitudes and all the south west Florida vendors involved were amazing.  I don't know if you can tell from the images but Maggie and Aaron are a hoot.  They are hilarious and so good natured.  A few people that helped make the day extra special:

Planner and Designer: Kelly McWilliams from Weddings by Socialites

Ceremony and Reception: South Seas Resort on Captiva Island

Cupcakes: Andrea at FLour
