Dominic Giardino: Class of 2012 ~ Key West Photographer

While in Key West this past weekend I also had the opportunity to shoot a Senior Session at Ft Zachary Taylor with the clarinet prodigy - Dominic! He moved to Key West while his father was in the service a few years back, he is now planning on returning back to the Northeast to attend one of the country's finest conservatories after graduation. Good Luck and Congrats Senior!
When you are a world famous clarinetist don't forget how awesome of a photographer I am - you may need me!

Casey & Shane's Sunset Wedding ~ Key West Photographer

Casey and Shane had a great destination wedding in the Florida Keys this past weekend and I got to tag along to help capture their story. Opting to do a first look, Casey and Shane were able to drive around the island to take pictures at many of Key Wests most famous spots like the Southern Most Point and Mile Marker Zero. We drove around in an electric car before meeting up with everyone at the Francis Street Bottle Inn so we could all ride over on the Old Town Trolley to Fort Zach. They had an intimate sunset ceremony at Fort Zachary Taylor followed by a lovely dinner at Croissants de France on Duval Street.

Brent and I wish the two of them a very long happy life together!

Thomas & Jessica - Reece Orchard (Part II)

How do you reflect the personality of a girl from Washington with that of Southern Boy Charm? Well for Thomas and Jessica's 2nd engagement session - we got a little creative. We put them in an apple orchard in North Georgia and served them up some apple pie! I think it turned out well. Here are a few from our little trip to Reece Orchard in Ellijay a few weeks back!
