Happy turkey day everyone... Enjoy!!!

Sneaky Peek! Stephanie & David's Wedding

Jacqueline & Doug November 7th, 2008

Yay!  Jacqueline and Doug are married!!!  I met them a little over a year before their big day during a bridal show and was super excited for their wedding.  It was a gorgeous day outside at The Tradewinds in St. Pete, FL.  Jacqueline had the most details I have seen at a wedding... So many fun things to photograph!  I had a lot of fun being a part of their big day, such a great couple...  Oh and did I mention they had lots of country music at the reception... YAY!

Hangin around

One of the many adorable details

So nice out...  Perfect beach day for a wedding
The rings
I have this love for hammocks as I grew up with one in my grandpa's backyard that I LOVED... So I was thrilled to get to photograph the happy couple in The Tradewinds hammock
Just Doug swooping Jacqueline off her feet!

Too cute!

Sexy little details

 I have a soft spot for the parent dances, this is one of my favorite shots from theirs

Awesome toss by the groom

Ok this wedding might win for the craziest dance moves I have seen this year!

This one just made me laugh :)

Yep Jacqueline's sister caught the bouquet

Thank You Notes During the Holidays!

I feel so blessed when I receive a thank you from a bride/groom/family, etc.  It just reminds me that I had the chance to preserve a moment in time for not just one person, but entire families and generations to come!  My mom taught me beginning at 4 years old with her camera to watch for emotions not poses... and if you are going to strike a pose make sure its stylin!  This year for Thanksgiving I am thankful for my mom, my family, and the honor of having this job.  Thank you for all those I share my time with.  Here are some thank you letters I received this week:

"Hi Joelle!

     Wow, we just got through looking at all the photographs.  They are so beautiful, I absolutely love them!  Thank you so much.  I can't wait to share all of these with family and friends.  You are truly a talented photographer and  I would recommend you over and over again.  Thanks so much!"

Donna

"Dear Joelle,

   My husband and I would like to extend a special thank you to you for the outstanding engagement and wedding photos you took of our daughter and her new husband.  You have a very special and unique talent and we are so pleased you were their photographer.  Due to the outstanding quality, we will always treasure these pictures.  Thank you also for your patience and professionalism throughout the wedding day.  It certainly helped to make the day run much smoother.  We were confident you were capturing all the details and special moments.  You definitely have a bright future in the world of photography and we wish you the best in the future."

Sincerely,

Kathy and Dan

April & Nathan's Engagement Shoot

Aww I love when the fluffy friends come with to the photo shoots!  April and Nathan are getting married this May, so we set out in Hyde Park to photograph some festive shots for their engagement session.  Their babies came along for the first part and then we set off for some shots with Nathan's favorite car and some adventures in the park.  Here are a few of my favorite pics!  Enjoy!

One big happy family!

Nathan's got it made ;)

I am not sure if April believed me when I told her to get in the swing, but Nathan believed me when I told him to start pushing her :).  I love her cute dress with the bright red swing set!

A classic favorite, romance and some Spanish Moss

Soon to be Mr. and Mrs.

Happy Holidays!!!

Candice & John Sneak Peek!!!

Congrats to Candice and John who were married this weekend, November 15th in St. Pete.  It may have been the windiest wedding I have photographed yet (hence Candice's dress blowing)...  More great pics to come!

Ana & Dave Sneak Peek

I had the pleasure of photographing Ana and Dave today for their engagement session.  There are tons of great photos to come, but for now just a peek :).  Dave brought his guitar, so we actually had live music on the shoot!

Susan & Jay The Vinoy St. Petersburg

I had the pleasure of capturing Susan & Jay's wedding on November 1st.  The beautiful Vinoy was the location for their ceremony and reception!  Although the ceremony received a good down pour, the wedding was still GORGEOUS!  Susan and Jay are a great couple, I had a great time capturing their love, but I already knew they would be photogenic after our fun engagement session in Ybor!

I love Susan's face in this one, she had the classiest hairdo!

Gorgeous Susan in the gardens of The Vinoy

Jay surprised Susan with this classy pearl necklace before the ceremony

The groom getting all spiffy for his big appearance

Outside right before the rain started (but that is good luck right!!!)

The happy couple reappeared outside post rain

So these shoes have become quite popular, at least every other wedding I go to they tell me they saw the famous shoe photo on my website and decided to go with the gem stones.  They are cute, but you can thank Allison & Rich from my 2007 weddings for the original!

Lounging around

Anxiously awaiting their reception

Oh there were lots of great dance moves

Stacey & Brad's Big Day! November 8th, 2008 (more then a peek)

Yesterday, November 8th, 2008 I had the pleasure of photographing Stacey & Brad's wedding at the Pass a Grille Church in St. Pete and Reception at The Mahaffey Theatre!  Stacey, Brad, along with friends and family were some of the most sincere people ever... and definitely a very exciting wedding to photograph!  Thank you so much you two for letting me be a part of your oh so special day!

Stacey getting ready, and her beautiful flowers!

Family prayer before the ceremony

Be careful where you invite the photographer... haha although we did have a good laugh.

So I cried 5 times yesterday, record for me... This one made me break first!  I set up this photo so Stacey's dad could walk in from behind and see his daughter for the first time.  Sigh!

Love this
