Thomas and Mindy’s New Orleans Inspired Wedding
Congratulations to Thomas and Mindy on their beautiful wedding! We were honored to document this special day for Mindy, who is the third of four sisters in her family to trust us with capturing her big day. The celebration took place at the stunning Cross Creek Ranch in Dover, FL—a venue that perfectly suited the romantic and heartfelt atmosphere. The open-concept white chapel, with its unique design featuring glassless windows, allowed a refreshing breeze to flow through, keeping guests comfortable as they witnessed Thomas and Mindy exchange their deeply personal, handwritten vows surrounded by close family and friends.
One of the highlights of the day was the couple’s embrace of New Orleans tradition. After the ceremony, they led their guests in a lively Second Line Dance, dancing joyfully to the reception hall and setting the perfect tone for the celebration that followed. Thank you, Thomas and Mindy, for allowing us to be a part of such an incredible day filled with love, laughter, and timeless traditions!
A Magical Day at Ever After Farms: Austin & Caitlyn’s Wedding
I recently had the pleasure of capturing Austin and Caitlyn’s beautiful wedding at Ever After Farms in Seffner, Florida. The day was blessed with soft, overcast skies, creating the perfect lighting for every special moment.
Austin and Caitlyn’s happiness was contagious, with both bride and groom beaming from ear to ear. Before the ceremony, they each shared heartfelt moments with their parents, exchanging meaningful gifts that brought everyone to tears of joy.
Ever After Farms was the perfect backdrop for this love-filled day, with its stunning fields, a tunnel of trees, and charming venue exterior. An antique truck parked out front and a flower truck on the side added even more magic to their photos. Though the rain briefly made an appearance just 30 minutes before the ceremony, it graciously stopped in time for the festivities to begin.
One of the most memorable moments was when Austin and Caitlyn shared a shot of whiskey just before their first kiss, marking the start of their new life as Mr. and Mrs. Garrett. During the reception, they wowed everyone with their flawlessly choreographed first dance, followed by emotional parent dances. DJ Jay Rigdon kept the energy high with his amazing beats, getting everyone on the dance floor.
The night ended in pure joy as the couple made their exit through a bubble-filled tunnel, running hand-in-hand toward their getaway car, surrounded by love and laughter. Congratulations, Austin and Caitlyn, on a truly magical wedding day!
Andrew and Nina’s Wedding
A few weeks ago, we had the honor of capturing and celebrating the beautiful wedding of Andrew and Nina at the Lao Art and Culture Center. The day began in a cozy Airbnb just a short drive from the venue, where the bride’s family and bridesmaids gathered to get ready. It was a calm and joyful morning, filled with laughter and anticipation— the perfect moment of peace before the festivities kicked off.
Andrew and Nina shared their heartfelt first look at the venue, and it was a truly emotional moment. Andrew was overcome with tears of joy the instant he saw Nina in her stunning wedding dress, a memory that will last a lifetime. Their ceremony was equally moving, with the love and support of their friends and family resonating through every word and gesture.
As the night unfolded, we danced the night away, with the DJ spinning classic hits from the 1980s. The energy was electric as guests sang along to Eurodisco favorites—a personal highlight for me as an 80s kid! It was a celebration full of love, music, and cherished moments, and I’m so grateful to have been a part of it.
