As a wedding photographer, experience is invaluably when it comes to the speed and ever-changing variables on the wedding day. A styled shoot is a wonderful opportunity to photograph unique details and portraits in a slower and more controlled environment... The rain on this particular day had different plans. While we were forced to work quickly and take cover from the downpour for several hours, in the end, the rain was an unexpected, yet complimentary element to our theme. What started as an low-key earthy and organic shoot, blossomed in to a wonderfully complete green and white editorial. I knew from the beginning that there was no better location in Florida than Bok Tower Gardens in Lake Wales, which we timed perfectly with the peak of the Azalea blooms. We also knew the perfect models - Rachel, her husband, and their absolutely adorable daughter. Since both Rachel and Jared are talented musicians, the guitars were a perfect addition. In fact, those images were inspired by one of Rachel's profile pictures. It's certainly worth mentioning that Rachel did the hair and makeup for herself and the bridesmaids, and she's also a very talented photographer. Needless to say, she has a lot going for her! Special shout out to Eileen Pandolfo with Twine Bindery, who planned and coordinated this amazing shoot, in addition to creating the amazing favors, journal, and invitation.
