Last week, I met up with Kerrie and Daniel for their engagement session in San Marco.  It was actually our first time meeting even though they booked me in January to shoot their November wedding.  I was so excited to finally meet them face to face!  Let me just say, they were definitely worth the wait.  They are so cute !  Not to mention, extremely photogenic.  It totally made my part a lot easier.  We had a great time talking and shooting in various San Marco locations and we also took a short drive into downtown Jacksonville. I’m so excited about their wedding later this fall.  No doubt it will be full of great style and lots of fun. Kerrie and Daniel, thanks for having me document this special time in your relationship! XOXO Dana Kerrie has these amazing blue eyes.  Gorgeous!The next 6 images are courtesy of Bistro Aix in San Marco.  Thanks to Chris (the manager on duty when we stopped by) for allowing us to take some shots in the restaurant and bar!  You’re awesome!

Just one of the many beautiful pics from Kerrie and Daniel’s engagement session on Wednesday night.  More to follow soon……

I have been waiting and looking forward to the opportunity to post about this wedding.  Here, I’m blogging about the wedding of Adina and Rudy that I had the pleasure to shoot a few weeks ago.  There is so much I can say about this couple.  From the first time I met the two of them at Starbucks and the St Johns Town Center, I had a good feeling that they would forever be a very special couple in my journey of photographing weddings.  You may remember their engagement session from a few months ago.

They were married in San Marco and were surrounded by a small group of family and friends.  It didn’t take long for me to realize that this special group of people were very much like the unique couple who were about to be joined in holy matrimony.  If you haven’t had the privilege of spending time with Rudy and Adina, you are missing out.  There is a joy and happiness about them that is contagious and I’m sure anyone who knows them will know exactly what I mean when I say that.  The very short time I have known them, I have witnessed a union that is truly a match made in heaven.

Adina and Rudy, thank you for allowing me to be a part of your wedding.  It was an honor to be able to capture your beautiful day and  I wish you both a long and happy marriage.

Here’s a glimpse of their day.   Enjoy !

There’s lots to say about this wedding but I’m going to save it for the official blog post.  In the mean time, here’s one of the images from the intimate ceremony I had the honor of photographing yesterday.  Adina and Rudy, enjoy your sneak peek.    :o)   This is all you get for now.  More good stuff on the way.

Let me start from the beginning  on this one.  I met with Adina and Rudy a few months ago at Starbucks for the first time.  Adina and I talked on the phone prior to the meeting and she even sent me a few pictures of her and Rudy so it gave me a pretty good idea of what I’d be dealing with.

The short meeting at Starbucks confirmed what I had already suspected- these two are going to be a lot of fun.  We met for their engagement shoot a couple of weeks ago and let me say, Adina and Rudy did not let me down.  This couple knows how to rock it for the camera and have fun while their doing it.  They totally made my job easy because they’re so comfortable with each other and in front of my camera.  I was in tears the entire time from genuine laughter.  Their joy is contagious and I’m sure anyone who spends a little time with them will feel the same way.

Here’s a very small taste from the time we spent together.  I cannot wait for their October wedding and I’ve got a gut feeling that these two will be even more fun on their wedding day.  Thanks Adina and Rudy for having me take part in your big day.  See you soon!    :o)

This next one is probably one of my favorites from the entire session.

Even a little kid-n-play in front of the church took place too.

Even when I jokingly told them to give me “spirit fingers”, I was amazed at  how quickly they pulled it off for me.

There’s an  inside joke to this next image.  Adina and Rudy will find it funny and I’m sure someone else with overgrown grass will too.    ha ha
