    Mehendi Party

    We are having an awesome time here in Orlando shooting our first Hindu wedding. Here are a few photos from last night's Mehendi party. The Bride's hands were gorgeous... and the little flower girl was beyond cute. She was very proud of her hands! :) Off to shoot the Garba!

    Jennifer & Chase are getting hitched!

    Brad and I recently went down to my hometown of New Smyrna Beach to shoot Jen & Chase's engagement session. They will be getting married at the end of June at the new Venetian Bay Town Center and I can't wait. It will be absolutely gorgeous. We had way too much fun...

    we went under the bridge and I had no idea how steep that incline was until I was climbing around like a monkey up there...

    it was worth it though

    apparently these dogs escaped their home and were playing hooky at the beach... clearly they were happy to see us

    Yes Chase's face is the sun... its a pretty cool trick he uses it to blind his opponents in the heat of battle!
