My second wedding in March was in South Florida. I was hoping that after going through a wicked winter in Virginia, that the weather in Florida would be nice and sure enough, Mother Nature was kind to me. As I drove to South Florida from OIA, I couldn’t help but be excited for Lauren & Noah‘s wedding! Not only was I going to photograph a couple who are beautiful inside and out but I was also going to meet my internet photographer friends, Jamie & Charlie, who drove all the way from Arkansas to shoot with me!
Lauren and Noah’s wedding was absolutely gorgeous and the day was surrounded in such overwhelming love and happiness. I feel so incredibly blessed to have been a part of this union! This wedding sneak peek will be in two parts, so here is part one! Lauren and Noah, you are both gorgeous people and amazing spirits. Your story is one that will stay with me for a long time. I wish you both all the happiness in the world and may your marriage and life together be amazing! Enjoy your sneak peeks!
Charlie & Jamie, I adore you both! Thank you for the guys’ shots seen below!!

March began a shooting/travel spree for me. I traveled from Texas to Florida and Baltimore over three weekends…right after driving from Virginia for the move. It’s been a tiring but reward month to say the least. My first wedding this month was Beth & Eric from last year. They are just the sweetest, most down to earth couple. They got married at the rustic and charming Lakeside Inn in Mount Dora, FL. The day was gorgeous and love was in the air. What more can a couple ask for? I am so happy that I was present for the union of this amazing couple. Beth & Eric, may you have a beautiful, blessed and amazing life together. Enjoy your sneak peeks!!
Special thank you to my talented and beautiful friend, Brittany Miller, for second shooting with me and running the photo booth! Love ya!

Jamie Ray (an amazing photographer friend from NC) and I have been trying to get together for months to do a trash the dress session with a dress she found at the Goodwill but for one reason or another, things just never worked out. Well, Jamie recently got engaged to the love of her life, Richie, and asked me to shoot her bridals with her REAL wedding dress as well as some trash the dress photos with the Goodwill dress afterwards. Who am I to turn down an opportunity to meet a beautiful internet friend and then photograph her in her wedding dress??
My photog friend, Ingrid Kaslik joined me and we headed over to Alexandria to pick Jamie up and then to drove Georgetown for the shoot. It was a cold day but Jamie was the ideal model as she stood out in the cold while we posed and photographed her. We started with her stylish veil (that SHE made!), kickin’ shoes and drop dead beautiful dress. After wards, we invited her fiance, Richie, to join us for the trash the dress segment of the shoot. We had so much fun and again, Jamie was such a trooper being out in the cold. She didn’t complain a single time and was a blast to work with. I’m bummed I can’t shoot her wedding because I was already booked but we are planning on a couple’s trash the dress/tux session after the wedding in March.
Below are just a couple of sneak peeks from the trash the dress section. We lost daylight quickly so we played with some OCF for a few minutes. If you want to see some sneak peeks of Jamie’s REAL wedding dress, email me and I will send you the password. I just don’t want her fiance sneaking peeks of her dress before the day!
Ingrid, as always, I love shooting with you and can’t wait to shoot again in the near future!
Jamie & Richie, it was a pleasure meeting the both of you face to face finally. I know you will have a lifetime of happiness with all of your beautiful children. We’ll see you again in a few months. For now, enjoy….
(if you aren’t Richie and want to see her real wedding dress images, email me!)

Sarah and Rob were married at the Washington DC LDS temple last week. Their special day was the first time I met them face to face and when I did, I was absolutely delighted. Before me were two beautiful people who are obviously head over heels in love with one another and they were surrounded by a small group of family and friends to share their joy. Upon meeting them, I learned that Sarah’s parents were married 33 years ago that day and at that very temple! AND Sarah wore her mother’s wedding dress as her own. I thought these three aspects of the day were just beautiful and I couldn’t help but tear up at what an amazing memory all of it would be later in life.
Did I mention Sarah was kickin’ it in red boots and purple tights? 
It was quite a chilly day. With the wind, it was about 24 degrees and the wind was blowing between 15 and 25MPH! You’ll see in the photos below that it got crazy at some spots but Sarah, Rob and their family/friends were just troopers and braved it all for these shots!
Sarah & Rob, it was a pleasure meeting you both. I know that Heavenly Father is pleased and that as you live your life, you will be blessed. Your day was a very special day and I can only say that I wished we lived closer so I could get to know you both better. In the both of you, I saw sweet, special spirits. May you have a beautiful eternity together. Enjoy your sneak peeks.
- Congrats to them. Favorite temple ever. Married there almost 10 years ago. Wish we'd have hired such an awesome photographer!
- oh my these are amazing!! you can't tell its that cold! the one with the sunflare and the veil... WOW! fabulous job with a happy happy couple! :)
- Gorgeous couple! She looks like she came out of a 60's movie. So lovely. =)
- WOW! These are amazing!
- i love these so much! i love the feel of the day caught in the photos. how great she carried on her parents amazing day.
- thank you so much for your work! I LOVE these pictures and will forever treasure the day my sister got married. I'm so glad we have amazing pictures to help us remember!
- oh wow Liz! What a beautiful wedding! So love her style! I bet they are in love with these images :)
- Hey Liz, Was just thinking of you and your amazing work. Thought I'd stop by to see how you were doing! This couple is amazing and I love their sense of style. Of course your work is always amazing and forever inspires me. Erica
- Seriously wonderful work - hard to pick which one is my favourite - Congratulations to you and the happy couple !
- These are awesome Liz.. great stuff they will no doubt love these
- I love the shot with the windy veil! And I love this bride's style.
- Such a beautiful couple! So lovely. And so young : ) Their shoes are SO cool!
- oh my goodness gracious me. this is UH-MAY-ZING! i mean.. she looks utterly brilliant in the gown and with the added bonus of shoes/tights. but the way you shot them is just breathstealing. not taking. STEALING! :)
