A moment for chartreuse wedding details

Really big fan of this princess style getting ready robe that Lauren wore the morning of her wedding! It was so ethereal, romantic and dare I say fun? Yeah I’m gonna say fun 💅🏻

Think beyond the typical floral robe you see everyone wear and find something that fits your personality!

And fun fact: her bridesmaids surprised her with this the morning of her wedding 🥹 they knew how much she wanted to wear it! Those are some great friends

Organic & stylish ceremony inspiration at the Tampa Edition? YES PLEASE.

Honestly, this space was SUCH a treat to photograph. White carpet down the aisle, draped arches in the back, velvet benches (!!), and flowers everywhere you looked (and they weren’t all perfectly matching).I loveddd that. It felt collected, layered, interesting and really personal!

And Hope & Cody brought so much real connection - romantic one minute, cracking each other up the next! I couldn’t get enough. I was watching for every little in-between moment like when Cody picked up her massive dress to help her walk.

This is the kind of ceremony design that makes your guests want to slow down and take it all in! The layered textures, the unexpected florals, the details that feel chosen with so much intention. It’s the kind of space that actually feels welcoming, like it’s ready for your favorite people to settle in and really enjoy it.

Also, someone tell the billionaires that THIS is how you carpet a ceremony.

Spent the day at Bella Collina soaking up this whole Florida-meets-Tuscany vibe. Stone walls, warm terracotta, tables layered with veggies and florals that just feel like an invitation to slow down!

I love spaces that do the heavy lifting on their own. Even when devoid of guests, you can tell how the night would unfold: long dinners, candles burning low, conversations that don’t rush. That’s the kind of energy I want to catch in photos, warm and lived-in.

Today’s the kind of day that has me thinking about bold wedding palettes (maybe it’s because fireworks are so colorful). I just love wedding designs that skip the safe neutrals and lean into something personal and punchy!

Red soles that peek out when you walk. Cobalt blue for your crew. Bright, playful flowers (my fave, as you know). Tiny details like a red ribbon or lipstick that tie it all together.

If you’re planning your wedding design, think about the shades you really love. The ones that feel electric, elegant and a little bit daring!

While on a girls trip to Italy, a psychic in Rome told her she would meet her future husband & be engaged within the year.

Kelli, naturally, scoffed at that.

But then she went home and soon after, met a man. And within a year, they were engaged!!

So of course, she had to pay a little homage to that Italian psychic by serving some family style Italian food and good Italian wine at the wedding reception

We were hanging out at Disney with our friends Bret & Stephen (aka ), and of course, because Jay and I always have cameras in our hands, it turned into a little family photo session! How could it not when they were wearing the cuuuutest Disney fits from Old Navy?!

We’ve known them for a while, but haven’t seen each other in person since right before the world shut down. And now we live close to each other again and have annual passes!

Getting to see them with their son was so sweet. They’re just one big silly happy family 🥹

If you’ve been thinking about doing family photos in Florida but worry they’ll feel awkward or forced… they don’t have to. You can just hang out and be yourselves✌🏼
I’m down for Orlando, Tampa, Miami—wherever your people are!

You don’t need to pose like a model or show up in something stiff and uncomfortable. Just wear something that feels like you—but with a little extra bounce!

Caroline wore a floral top and flowy trousers to her engagement session, and I loved how relaxed, colorful, stylish it was without trying too hard.

If you’re planning spring engagement photos and thinking what do I even wear?, here’s your cheat sheet:

→ Wear something that moves (pants, breezy sleeves, a dress you can twirl in)
→ Pick a print with personality (florals, stripes, block print… not your couch from 2006)
→ Choose colors that vibe with nature (soft tones or warm neutrals—neon’s not invited)
→ And for the love of ankles, wear shoes you can walk in. It’s Florida. We’ve got mulch.

Also: I know I live in beach territory, but garden sessions just have my heart! A few faves if you’re still looking for a Florida engagement or wedding venue:

Okaaay so I’ve got a few real first looks I’ve been dying to share, ones that felt genuinely natural and personal. We work with each of our couples to make sure their first look goes beyond the “tap the shoulder as they’re faced away from you” standard.

Here’s the first one!

Kelli loved the staircase at their venue (honestly, same), but didn’t want their first look to feel stiff or staged. So we kept it simple!

Jeff stood at the bottom, just facing forward, no cues, no “now turn around!. You could hear her footsteps on the stairs, and they chatted with each other the whole time Kelli descended.

He looked up when she hit the last few steps. No one told him to, it just felt right! Jay shot it wide to show off the staircase and the movement, and I stayed on Jeff for the reaction.

These tiny shifts are what make a first look feel like you instead of a weird performance. No awkward shoulder tap required!

This would work beautifully at Florida venues with big staircases or wraparound porches—like the Orlo House, The Spiral Staircase, The Powel Crosley Estate or the Ringling Museum!

Save this if you’re planning a first look and want it to feel natural, not staged. More ideas coming soon!!

When the sunset looks like this on your wedding day, how do you not go out for portraits?!

Jay and Nicholas scouted this room together, the castle library at Glenapp Castle in Scotland, the day before the wedding! The light was just too good and had a cinematic quality.

Which made sense, considering Nicholas works in the film industry as a camera operator! Jay knew exactly how to frame him in it and how to work the light (they’ve worked on tons of film sets together over the years). They weren’t going for anything fussy or formal, just something stylish and calm that felt like Nick!

This was a destination wedding in Scotland, chosen partly for the views (we could see the North Channel waters) and partly because both Laura & Nicholas have a little Scottish heritage. But even with a literal castle to explore, it was this quiet moment in the library before the first look that gave us something classic and moody to work with before things got moving.

And that’s the thing about your wedding portraits: they don’t need to be big and overly posed. You just need the right light, the right room, and someone who knows how to use it (and maybe a glass of Scottish whisky to give your hands something to do haha)

These moments after Hannah-Leigh & Ryan’s ceremony in the same historic church her parents and grandparents were married in are some of my personal favorites from their wedding day!

It was a suuuuper dark small vestibule and I wanted to show off the harsh light while still making something beautiful alongside it.

I love how HL’s mom looks at her, her grandmas hug, her best friends surrounding her…and then Ryan sticking his hand in the middle to show off his ring!
