I expressed my adoration for Lauren and Aaron on their engagement session post, seen here… Seriously, you just want to surround yourself with them. I’ve not sure I’ve seen two people smile so much just at the mere instance of looking at each other. Congrats, my friends… xoxo

Damon + Veronica :: Engaged :: Postcard Inn St. Pete Beach

Kerri — Mon, 03 Dec 2012 05:31:44 +0000

Damon and Veronica met me early the day after Thanksgiving. They traveled down from Atlanta to spend the holiday with their families, so we found time to shoot their engagement session. I was slightly worried when I got in the car that morning and my display read 46 degrees. Effectively the chilliest day we had in the area at that time. Luckily, Damon and Veronica were troopers. These two have a special place in my heart for more than one reason, but, I am so honored to be shooting their wedding next year at the Powel Crosely Estate. It should be one heck of a party… Now… On to the show!

There are not proper words on this planet to describe how much I LOVE this image…

Damon had Veronica’s birthstone set into the inside of her engagement ring. I thought that was such a sweet idea.

GO BUCS!

Smile…

Now serious face… I think they nailed it.

Love this silhouette…

Off to the beach we went…

Location: The Postcard Inn – St. Pete Beach

Mirza + Nicole :: Sunken Gardens Outdoor Wedding

Kerri — Thu, 08 Nov 2012 23:55:19 +0000

Mirza and Nicole were married a few weeks ago at beautiful Sunken Gardens in Northeast St. Pete. It was a small, intimate affair of about 30 people. Mirza and Nicole had a great jazz band to entertain their guests throughout the night. Here are some of my favorites from their special day!

Nicole wanted to do something special for Mirza for their wedding. So we shot an awesome boudoir session. Mirza was SHOCKED when he opened it. Nicole pulled off an awesome surprise for him!

Nicole and Mirza have been dating for the better part of 10 years… So it is understandable that this pretty lady was so excited to marry her best friend…

This happens to be my favorite set of photos… ever. His reaction to seeing her for the first time was awesome. Well, played, Mirza… well played…

We had SO MUCH time before the ceremony to walk around Sunken Gardens and take pictures.

ps – Nicole’s dress had pockets… I was slightly obsessed.

BOOM! Married.
