Horseshoe Bend Fine Art Film Destination ...

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.

Alexa + Jordan — Sundial Resort Military ...

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…

Sugarcane Inspired Styled Shoot — Florida Film ...

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…

Welcome to the World Norah Catherine

Welcome to the World Norah Catherine

Exactly one month ago just over a week past our due date at 12:02am on January 8, 2021 our world’s changed forever. Norah Catherine Fox enter our lives (via C-section after my water breaking in the wee hours of the morning followed by 43 hours of labor… but that’s a whole story in itself for another time). I was so excited to see her for the first time, this little “stranger” as I thought she would seem, to study her features and get to know her over time. And then I laid eyes on her, just past midnight when they placed her in her daddy’s arms and he tilted her down to meet me for that first look.

I knew her.

These two are getting married tomorrow! And its my first wedding back since the arrival of our baby girl last month. So here we go! A new rhythm of life and work with a little one. Good thing I have an incredible group of folks to support and help along the way (shout out to the super hands-on hubby, grandma and my trusty, talented photo assistant Emme!). I’m so thankful for the incredible couples who continue to ask me to be a part of telling their story.

Romantic, Rainy-Day, Backyard Wedding Photography — Cheryl + Mike's Wedding Preview — Sebring, FL

What a day! Last weekend my mother-in-law tied the knot to the sweetest man in a romantic, rainy-day celebration that was a true tribute to family. The rain may have pushed the festivities back a little later into the evening but just look at the glowy, evening magic we were able to capture in the "change of plans" plan. Cheryl and Mike I love you dearly and am honored to be a part of the fam! Caroline

Central Florida Backyard Wedding Photography — Lyndsey + Matt's Wedding Day Preview — Sebring, FL

What a day! I met Lyndsey 10 years ago as her youth group leader and in no time at all realized what a true gem she was. Matt, you've chosen one of the very, very best. She's genuine, beautiful, quirky, true to herself and fully in love with the Lord. She's followed His leading to Bible college, to Portugal and now into the great adventure of lifelong partnership in marriage. And this weekend she tied the knot beneath a firmly planted oak in the lawn of the very same church where we meet and she grew up as an incredible young woman of God. It was sunny at all the right times. It was magical through and through. It was tear inducing, naturally, and was just as He planned it all along. Thanks for having me there to capture this sweet milestone in life and here's to a lifetime of adventure together Lyndsey + Matt!

xoxo, Caroline

The Farm at Harvest Hills Wedding Photography — Liz and Kevin's Wedding Preview — Powell, Ohio

This pair and their wedding celebration was so near and dear to our hearts. What an honor it was to be there to capture another GCBI couple's wedding day (officiated by my husband)! And what a sweet blessing it is to know their deep love for the Lord and each other. (Bonus was getting to see and catch up with so many amazing GCBI alumni. Plus the absolutely gorgeous Ohio weather sans humidity for a few days too!) Congrats Liz and Kevin!

xoxo, Caroline
