Jesi’s engaged!!!! After what feels like a lifetime of waiting for Mr. Right, he is finally here! SO excited for future Mr. and Mrs. Jarosz.
“You never know what God has in store. He has been giving us both time in life to do the work needed to make each other partners forever. We are so blessed to have found each other. Never in all my life did I imagine feeling so happy, so loved, and so protected.” - Jesi
“She said YES!”
- Remi (French Bulldog)
Blooming flowers + fall leaves at one of my fav locales, multiple outfit changes (the bride to be works at White House Black Market), and a whole lot of LOVE: this, my friends, is an engagement session done oh-soooo right. This gorgeous couple is getting married in Costa Rica!!! Christina & Mihaly, we are so excited for you to tie the knot at your upcoming destination wedding later this month. Congratulations!!
... a giddy in LOVE couple, an ADORABLE toddler, and GORGEOUS light, what more could a photographer ask for? Maybe a well coordinated family? This blog post has that too!!! So many amazing images to share from Amanda, Peter, and Cullen's recent sunset photo session at the Sanibel Lighthouse Beach. Amanda was a referral from my Tanglewood Elementary friends (Thank you Kitty and Marisa) and wanted family and engagement photos to use for a Save the Date for their wedding in 2015. Wearing their wedding colors, Amanda and Peter dressed in teal and silver grey- such a stunning combo for beach photos. Congratulations to these two! Enjoy your sneak peek...
Rather than the usual blog post I write for sessions, I thought it would be fun to feature a write up from a client about their experience. This is not just any client... this blog post is written by my talented best friend, Athena Ponushis, who happens to be a writer (Florida Weekly) and will be getting married in April (so excited)! We got together last fall for her engagement photos on Lover's Key with her fiance, Scott. I asked Athena to share a few details about her actual engagement and she sent these kind words:
Congratulations to Bethany and David on their upcoming wedding in November! We were introduced through a common friend (Sarah Martin) and were thrilled to photograph them in Downtown Fort Myers during the 4th of July weekend. Matt and I spend a lot of time in the Fort Myers River District as a family with our daughter Lillian. We appreciate and revel in the architecture, art, culture, and commerce as a unique urban backdrop for sessions. Bethany knew she wanted to start at the yacht basin and work our way to the gorgeous banyan tree near the court house and we stopped at various DTFM favorites along the way including the Whitehurst Federal Building (Sidney and Berne Davis Art Center).
Here are the highlights from our session… Enjoy!
Meet Sarah & Chris and a few simple ingredients for the perfect engagement shoot...
The outdoors (Koreshan State Park to be exact), Roxy- their adorable Boxer, Chris' beloved truck, and a gorgeous evening on St. Patty's Day set the scene for these two to be the photographed celebrating their upcoming Wisconsin wedding in the Fall. Sarah was so easy to work with a very laid back. She knew she wanted to have Roxy in a Save-the-Date photo and incorporate Chris' truck in a few shots. The casual couple was a referral from another friend (Caitie & Erik) and actually participated in the Engagement Giveaway (thank you!) last month. Matt and I had a great time working with them and shooting at Koreshan (photographer favorite in SWFL) for the first time! Here are just a few of our favorite shots from the evening.
These two are adorable!
