Paige and I first met at a mutual friend's going away party and had a good ole' chat over some salsa and guacamole dip. So when I received an email from her looking to book an engagement session I couldn't have been happier. I love it when people I've met before book with me! Mostly because they've met me and know how quirky I can be, and yet STILL decide to let me photograph a special moment. It's the best.
Two weeks ago, to this very day, two of my very good friends said "I do" for forever at this amazing venue, Loft on the Lake. And I had the great pleasure of being there to see it all happen.

So a long, long time ago, Chanae's parents and my family ran in the same circles and knew each other. Fast forward a few years later and I find myself working in a department at the Florida Institute of Technology with Brandon.

The Porcher House was built in 1914 and was not only a home, but a hotel at one time way back when. Now, it is currently on the National Register of Historic Places and open to the public to visit...
To say I was excited when Katharyne of Katharyne Dunn Photography contacted me saying she loved my work and wanted to book me, would be a huge understatement. I'm pretty sure I danced around the room while looking at my tuxedo cat and repeatedly asking him "can you believe another photographer likes my work?!" It's a huge honor when that happens....
