Congrats to the new Mr. and Mrs. Curtis who invited me to capture the sweet celebration in Orlando this past weekend! Thank you both so much for having me and for being so amazing, kind and beautiful through and through!

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…

Courtney and Josh and their St. Pete Beach, Don CeSar wedding celebration was the definition of modern sophistication with lots of room for fun! I loved their colorful details and easy going spirits. (And believe it or not I took more photos on the dance floor than the entire rest of the day combined.) Needless to say it was quite the sweet celebration from start to finish. Thanks for having me and congrats you two!
xoxo, Caroline

Seven years ago when I officially started my full time photography business this, this right here was the heart of it, telling the hometown stories of family and friends through captured images that become heirlooms for generations to come. I love when this time of year rolls around and the fall family session inquiries start coming in. It’s time to document a year of growth, a year of change, new additions and long lasting love. And while I love a good ole 1-2 hour long family session spent wandering and capturing beautiful images at your family home, farm or favorite park I know that doesn’t suit every family’s needs (or budget). In steps the mini session. A relax 10-15 minutes at a beautiful outdoor location with lots of lush, Florida goodness to explore. It’s for everyone from the young family, to multi-generations, to the professional looking for updated headshots, to seniors and engaged pairs.
So if you think you’d be a good fit for a Caroline Maxcy Photography Fall Mini Session head on over to snag your spot today on one of our two offered dates, October 13th and November 17th by {clicking here}.
Keep scrolling to check out some peeks into last year’s minis to get a feel of the session and plenty of ideas for everything from what to where to who to bring along.
Happy One Year Anniversary to these two! A year ago Rachel and Ryan tied the knot on one of the most joy filled wedding days I've ever seen. Much like the day we experience just today one year later, September 1st started off with all the sweet, crisp sunshine and then quickly turned into storms right at ceremony time. Filled with calm they decided to move all their guest to the front porch of the gorgeous private home they were getting married at and said their "I dos" in the sweetest of intimate ceremonies surrounded by their nearest and dearest, a gentle rain shower and lots of happy tears. Just try to look through these photos without smiling. It's nearly impossible. Congrats again Rachel and Ryan and I hope this first year of marriage has been filled with so much bliss and so much growth and so much glory to our Jesus! Love you!

You guys, my husband's twin brother got married this weekend! Which means we added another amazing lady to the family (Welcome, Emily!). I loved being there to 1/2 capture the day and 1/2 be an adoring guest (and a big thanks to my associate photographer Lisa Taylor Hall for capturing the parts of the day where I was doing the whole "guest" thing, aka. posing for family photos, sipping coffee and slow dancing with my hubby on the dance floor). Congrats you two and thanks for putting together such a perfect day complete with the all the colorful peacock details, the prettiest wooden floral bouquets and brunch for dinner! <3

I had the blessing of seeing this love story begin and walking alongside these two all along the way. What an honor it was to capture the day where they become one! Congrats Justin and Haley! I can't wait to continue to see your love grow and grow as husband and wife!

Jade and Brett's Bok Tower Garden's wedding celebration was nothing short of high style heaven. Beneath the towering oaks, with the Singing Tower in the background these two said "I do" in an intimate wedding ceremony surrounded by their nearest and dearest plus all the classiest of details and I loved being there to capture it all (on film too!).
There's nothing quite as sweet as the newness of life...
Jade and Brett's Bok Tower wedding this past weekend was full of the best kind of style, thoughtful details and all the love. What an honor it was to capture it all and celebrate alongside you two!
