Jesse’s Bridal Portraits

Seaside, Fl

Jesse was married in June at Bentley’s on the Bay and had a beautiful Ceremony at Sunset. We had planned to do an after session with Jesse and her wonderful husband Jerry, but Jerry is currently in Basic Training for the military. I think Jerry is going to be very happy with these pictures of his beautiful wife. Jesse is not only a beautiful and striking woman, but she is very sweet and  has a kind heart. These pictures of Jesse I think show the very essence of  natural beauty. There is not much more I can say, but please take a look for yourself and comments are very welcome!!!!

Jesse and Jerry are Married!

Santa Rosa Beach, Fl

Venue: Bentley’s on the Bay

Flowers By: Jesse Madaris

Jesse and Jerry fell in love in high school and I just find it amazing that even after seven years together they are still so in love and can’t seem to get enough of each other.  It was a perfect day to get married outside on the Bay. The sky was a beautiful blue and the bride couldn’t have been more gorgeous! They were married by both of their mother’s as the sunset over the bay, which I find incredibly sweet. Jesse also did all her own flower arrangements and bouquets, which came out AMAZING!!!

Kelsey and Trey are Married!

The day had finally arrived and it could not have been more beautiful outside.  Even though the oil spill had affected the beaches it didn’t stop this young couple from having their dream wedding on the beach. Kelsey looked unbelievable and dare I say radiant and dear Trey looked debonair in his linen suit. This was on of the sweetest couples I have had the privilege to shoot and get to know. It was a bit hot, but the Ceremony turned out beautifully without any rain! Now the Reception was unlike anything I have ever seen before and might need its own blog post. Everyone in the family got on the dance floor and did the Alligator Crawl. If you don’t know what that is,  you have to look it up. It was one of the most entertaining and action packed Receptions I have attended.

Watercolor, Florida

Check out the sneak peek of these two love birds splashing around in the water. Brooke a beautiful young woman from Alabama wanted something different for her wedding photo’s, so she went all out for this amazing session. Matt was such a good sport and you could tell he was willing to do anything for Brooke. I have been wanting to get a couple on a canoe forever and the nice people at Watercolor let us do just that!

Kelsey’s Bridal Portaits

I can’t tell you how excited I am to finally post these! Kelsey is such a beautiful and sweet woman and looked fabulous for her Bridal Portaits!! She is a school teacher from the Birmingham Area and was such a trooper for this shoot. The humidity had to be about 100% and it felt like it was over 100 degree’s outside and then we would have bouts of rain every fifteen minutes. Between Kelsey’s Mom, Myself and My wonderful second photographer Juli we tried to keep Kelsey as cool and dry as possible and in the process we got some amazing images of Kelsey!! I must say her now husband Trey is very lucky man!
