Horseshoe Bend in Page, Arizona at golden hour is nothing short of magical. Add in a gorgeous bride and groom and 60 of their closest family and friends bathed in the warm desert light and you have something like a dream. Sheri + James said their joyful, tearful “I dos” earlier this month canyon side and I had the honor of being there to capture it all.
Here we are in the heart of a frigid winter (even for us Floridians at times) and I’m dreaming of warmer days. So why not share a peek into Alexa and Jordan’s seaside Sanibel Island wedding from this past summer. Revisiting these images is like a treat! I can almost hear the lull of the waves and the rustle in the palm leaves and nearly feel the sweet summertime sun on my skin…
In reflecting on the last year I took some time to note things that had given me life or drained me in the past. (It’s an effort in aiding in decision making for this “decision fatigued” gal right here. And the idea is all thanks to Emily P. Freeman and her “The Next Right Thing” podcast!) Something that undeniable breathed life in to my work and inspiration was the process of shooting creatively with film. (You can check out my past blog post about the process and love affair by clicking here and here.) So I set out to spend more time behind my film camera pointing it at beautiful things and lovely light by marking down a few “inspired styled shoots” in my calendar. This is the very first of them…
Anna Grace’s Senior Session at Dark Hammock Legacy Ranch was nothing short of a dream…
There are no words to describe the fall wedding gorgeousness that was Amanda and Rob's lakeside wedding celebration this past weekend in Lake Placid, Florida! It was such an honor to be invited to capture their sweet story surrounded by so much love (and in the same spot I captured her sister's wedding 3 1/2 years ago)! Many congrats you two!
xoxo, Caroline
Congrats to Kaleigh and Nathan who tied the knot in the sweetest of Bok Tower Gardens fall wedding ceremonies!
What a sweet treat it was to be a part of Lindsey and Corbin's wedding celebration last weekend as they said "I do"! And an extra special treat was getting to revisit an old familiar road where two years ago I walked down the "aisle" to my hubby and started our marriage journey together!

Here's a little rainy-day joy for you all as we all begin our "hunkering down" process for Hurricane Irma here in Florida. Just a little less than a week ago we gathered on a giant southern porch, sheltered from the storm, to witness the sweetest pair say "I do!" in the most beautiful Christ-centered, joy-filled, tear-filled ceremony! Here's a little peek into the celebration. Congrats Rachel and Ryan!

Here's a little classy red, white and blue wedding glamour at The Acre Orlando for you all on this fine Independence Day! Thank to all who came together to bring us this beauty at this Rising Tide Society, Tuesdays Together Lakeland styled shoot. I loved the road trip up to The Acre Orlando with my super talented sis-in-law Jen Maxcy with Hair and Beauty by Jen to capture all the loveliness she and the rest of our talented team pulled together (credits below). Enjoy, enjoy!
Happy 4th, y'all! And thank you to all the brave men and women that serve to keep this the land of the free from sea to shining sea. <3
