This year is an exciting one for our family- we are adding two more members to the family!  Our little one that will arrive sometime in November and a new brother-in-law in October!  My sister-in-law, Nicole, is getting married October 15 and not only do I get the pleasure of attending this grand event I get to photograph the whole shebang too!  It is going to be quite the party but I am most excited for the two of them to start their lives as husband and wife.  They are perfect for each other and we couldn’t be more blessed with the addition of Jeremiah to the family.

We had to be creative about their engagement photographs- their ideal location would have been somewhere in near Asheville in the mountains however, having a toddler and being 5 months pregnant makes destination photography a little more difficult. So we opted to do the photographs when they were in town for the family beach vacation.  After thinking for a while we decided that we might be able to get some field/ non-palm tree location out near the Econolochatchee River.  The plan was to head to there shortly after getting home from vacation and grab our photos.  Unfortunately (or fortunately- depending on how you look at it) we got rained out.  I was able to grab a few photos from under the umbrella (held by Jamie) of them playing in the rain so the trip wasn’t a complete waste but we tried again early the next morning before they drove home to Asheville.  I love the way the photographs turned out in both locations (some of the rain photographs are my absolute favorites); however, it might have something to do with how much I like the subjects ;)

So here’s  a peak- enjoy!

Two of my favorites taken from under the umbrella during a traditional Florida rain… there is love with these two rain or shine!

It was COLD the morning that we took these images, I had a jacket on and would have had gloves on too if I owned a pair that you can remove the finger tips.  But not these two, they braved the cold with short sleeves, smiles on their faces and only a few breaks to warm up with a blanket from the back of my car.  Seriously, Kim and Gaby you all are such troopers!!

I love the images that we were able to capture that morning.  Kim’s laugh never stops and you can tell that Gaby really does adore her- making it so much fun to be around them.  Can’t wait until March to celebrate your big day with the two of you!!
