Heartland Living Magazine Wedding Shoot — Colorful Central Florida Wedding Photography Inspiration — Sebring, FL

There's no denying that I love weddings. My heart literally soars with excitement over all the details, all the emotions and the celebration of two souls becoming one. But being a fairly new bride myself (Here's to a year and a half of blissful marriage!) I am no stranger to the stress that comes along with planning such a thing. Praise the dear Lord for wedding planners (seriously, if you are a bride and not a wedding planner yourself, hire one pronto!). And praise the dear Lord to for all the access to full on I-N-S-P-I-R-A-T-I-O-N we have everywhere from Pinterest to our friends wedding photos. So each year when it comes time for Heartland Living Magazine's wedding issue to come together I jump at the chance to collaborate and point my lens at some of the most inspiring wedding ideas, tips and trends the team pulls together. After hitting the road to the Boca Grande gulf coast beach last year (you can check out that shoot by clicking here) we decided to keep things local and ventured just down the road to The Barn at Paso Fino for some hometown, bright and colorful inspiration complete with gorgeous oversized blooms, citrus themed fun and all the pops of color you could hope for. Thanks to all the folks that came together to make this photographers heart oh-so-happy when peering through my lens!

Margaret + Andrew Wedding Day Sneak Peek — Sebring, FL Wedding Photography

A week ago these two were in the midst of the wedding day "getting ready" process before saying "I do!" And even though the rain pushed them indoors come ceremony time this pair was nothing but sunshine, smiles and happy tears through and through. What a joy it was to celebrate alongside them! Congrats Margaret and Andrew! 

xoxo, Caroline

Jeffery + Kandi Sneak Peek — Bok Tower Gardens Wedding Photography — Lake Wales, FL

What happens when it rains all day long on your wedding day?? You get married in the rain to the love of your life! (And under the dry protection of your backup plan. Always have a backup plan.) Then you kiss your new mister in the rain and celebrate the night away with your nearest and dearest! That's what happens... 

And then...  

You get back in your wedding day duds the next day and stroll in the sparkle of the day-after sun and the glow of your newlywed bliss! Thanks for inviting me in on your sweet wedding day celebration where the light of your love and smiles couldn't be dimmed by any storm and for spending your first day as husband and wife with me and my camera in a garden! Congrats again Kandi and Jeff!

xoxo, Caroline

Brittany + Ryan Sneak Peek — Central Florida Wedding Photography — Sebring, FL

January in Florida is kind of magical. The air is perfectly crisp and the light is oh-so-lovely! A photographers dream! I couldn't have asked for a better way to start off my 2016 wedding season than with Brittany and Ryan's sweet celebration. Seriously, these two (and their families and friends) are the sweetest kind of folks, the type you'd want to call your own friends. So when I found out there were about 50 people from the groom's neighborhood in SEATTLE, WA (!) that made the trek across the country to be there for the celebration I was not surprised in the least. 

Here's a little peek into their day, with so much more gorgeousness to share in the coming year! Congrats Brittany and Ryan! And thank you both so much for inviting me to capture your big day!

xoxo, Caroline

Now Offering Wedding Videography — Central Florida Wedding Videography

It's been awhile since my last post and I've certainly haven't been keeping you all up to date on all the Caroline Maxcy Photography happenings over the past few months. (I am seriously behind by two entire years with sharing some of our gorgeous wedding days with you all.) I do hope to get you all back in the land of lovely image overload soon and with the addition of an intern this past fall we are well on track! (Hi, Nicole! You're the best!) 2016 is already shaping up to be some kind of an incredible year. I already have a delightfully full spring with weddings and seniors and events galore. But today we want to announce to you all a new endeavor we are taking on. As you all may know, last September I so sweetly stepped into marriage hand in hand with the most amazing of man. I have never experienced partnership in this way before. This is what the sweet Lord designed marriage to be like, and while I definitely know that we do not have the whole marriage even close to completely figured out I am excited to walk a lifetime side-by-side with this fella along the way. On the sunniest of days in December we picked up cameras and side-by-side filmed our very first wedding celebration. Devon and I are officially wedding day videographers, y'all! You can check out a little peek into that sweet December wedding day with Kayla and Joey below. While we certainly know there is so much more to learn along the way we are excited to be offering videography services to a select few brides and grooms throughout the year (with special discounts for weddings booking this spring.) Contact us for more information by {clicking here} and lets start chatting about how we can be a part of telling your sweet love story!
