    Jennifer and Matt are Engaged!

    Jennifer and Matt began dating just days after she moved to Florida. They were both attending a party for her cousin who happened to be making a huge move to California that same week. Their families had know each other for quite some time, but that was the first time these two had ever laid eyes on each other. It was love from the start. Two years later, only one day before their actual anniversary, Matt popped the question. Jen said yes immediately! She had been following our work for quite some time at that point and would always send me little messages saying "as soon as we are engaged I'm calling you." Well she wasn't kidding. She booked us for their March 2009 wedding just days after Matt proposed. We were so excited to get to work with these two. They are a blast to be around and up for pretty much anything. Their wedding is going to be at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in New Smyrna Beach and I couldn't imagine a better place for these two to tie the knot. Over Memorial Day weekend, we shot their engagement session in New Smyrna. We started at the golf course because Matt is a die hard golfer and ended at the beach where these two spend much of their time together. Enjoy...

    We had so much fun riding around on the golf cart with you guys and playing at the beach. You two are such a wonderful couple and we can't wait for your wedding. Jen has some gorgeous decor planned and I can't wait to see it all come together. It will be truly unique!
