What a truly gorgeous day it was for a West Light Farm wedding with this pair and their nearest and dearest this past weekend. Leave it to Jennai to perfectly plan a wedding day that goes off without a hitch (and ahead of schedule all along the way too)! From the breathtaking light-filled bridal portraits, to the shaded forest ceremony with touching personal vows to the packed dance floor to the very last song this celebration was one to remember! Congrats you two! Your love is as sweet and a joyous as it comes!
xoxo, Caroline

This wedding...
I've know Seth since he was "yea high" as our pastor's son. We've been on missions trips to Mexico together and he always provided fun-loving entertainment in the youth group that my husband lead. Then Hannah I've known since way back when she was one of my girls I lead in that same youth group, then my high school photography intern, then a GCBI student and then GCBI RA. To say these two are near and dear to my heart is an understatement. To say watching their relationship grow has been a true blessing wouldn't quite cover it either. Their first official date was over 5 years ago in Seoul Korea on the last day of a missions trip and they've been inseparable ever since. In the words of Seth's Grandma she's "never seen a more compatible pair". When I look back on these photos from their wedding day I get goose bumps all over again. It was breathtaking, emotional, oh-so-anticipated, Christ centered and truly perfect through and through. You guys are lovely and I love you dearly! Thank you for having me capture this perfect day!

What a gorgeous weekend it was for a private island wedding celebration with Amy + Scott! These two, their evident love and their "meet cute" story on a Southwest flight is something made for movies for sure! And the sunny day celebration on Useppa Island with family and sweet friends was nothing short of magical. Congrats you two! It was such a blessing to be there to celebrate alongside you all!

The Barn at Paso Fino Wedding Photography — Jake + Paizley Preview — Lake Placid, FL
Oh April. In a time when life springs forward fresh and new again April holds some of the most difficult memories for me. Seven years ago we unexpectedly on a sunny spring time day lost my rock of a father. And each year as April rolls around the memories of his sweetness, the aching to feel his hug again and the hole that is left behind in my life and heart looms large. But every year the sweet Lord gives me so many glimpses of his goodness during this time. Like the beaming, crinkled nose smile of my baby girl who a part of him lives on in and the invitation to be a part of the loveliest of springtime wedding days with the sweetest of pairs. Paizley and Jake your wedding day celebration at The Barn at Paso Fino was the sweetest gift filled with so much beauty, joy and love. Thanks for having me!
xoxo, Caroline
Kai Kai Farm Wedding Photography — Chris + Jackie Preview — Indiantown, FL
What a fun weekend celebrating Jackie and Chris at Kai Kai Farm! These two had to cancel their March 2020 wedding just days earlier as the country shut down. Luckily these two decided to officially get married on their originally wedding day and picked a date a year to get dressed up and celebrate with family and friends. It was an honor to be there to capture it all! Congrats you two!

Miami Engagement Fine Art Film Photography — Monica + Bryant — Miami, FL
Last year this time…
I have a feeling we are going to be hearing that a lot in the coming weeks and months. Reminiscing back to a a world without Covid, before words and phrases like “pandemic” and “social distance” and “mask mandates” were foreign and strange. I keep thinking about how surreal it would be to have time traveled just one year ahead and landed yourself in a March 2021 grocery store or airport or classroom or board meeting. I imagine it would quite possibly look and feel the closest to one of those apocalyptic movies our current culture has ever seen. The entire world has been changed by it. I could go on for days lamenting the loss of a way of life our children will never know while holding to hope for a future and new normal that will hold some newfound joy somewhere for us all… but I digress…
Last year this time… I was packing for a trip to Italy while continuously refreshing the Italian news following this thing called “Coronavirus” plus squeezing in a photo shoot in Miami with this lovely pair set to marry, seaside in the summer. So much would change. Within that weekend our Italian tour was canceled. Within two months their wedding was postponed. But for that moment, the first weekend in March, we enjoyed the vibrancy of the world we once lived in. We wandered gorgeous Miami from a sunny, palm tree clad State Park beach to the eclectic Wynwood neighborhood, butting up against the beautiful city’s crowds all along the way. Oh what a day!
Vibrant and Colorful Florida Ranch Wedding Photography — Hannah + Patrick Preview — Sebring, FL
Hannah and Patrick's vibrant and colorful hometown wedding this past weekend celebrated all things Florida, family and friends! From the custom Jayebird watercolor invitations to the lush, vibrant florals to the Citrus Moscow Mule signature drink with a twist of orange everything was a delight through and through. Add in a sentimental ceremony plus a separate private vow reading beneath the towering oaks that included a tear or two and you have a wedding celebration for the books. Thank you for inviting me (and the crew) in to capture it all! Congrats you two!
xoxo, Caroline
