kraft azalea gardens

Nate met John when he was in college at UCF. The first time I met John, I’m pretty sure it was Nate and my first Halloween together (I was dressed as a Medieval maiden, Nate a tourist.) The first time I met Mysti was years ago when we photographed her sister’s wedding. It was a true Small World moment when Nate and I realized these two friends of friends from completely different chapters of our lives were getting married! :)

We took their photos around Kraft Azalea Gardens in Winter Park.

Aaaaaand now I want a Westie!!

Mysti asked us to work these cute balloons in for a couple shots at the end. :)

John and Mysti, we’ll see y’all this fall!!! :)

Even more Winter Park, Florida sessions!

Jessy and Bligh’s engagement session was one of those rare times that Nate and I were laughing so hard and having so much fun hanging out with our couple that I kept having to remind myself that we were “on the job.” :) Jessy found us through our mutual very best friends, the amazing Jeffrey and Lisa Stoner. Jessy was Lisa’s right hand at weddings for years, and we met her at a wedding, clicked, and a few months later she was booking us for her wedding. I’ve always been a strong believer that you can judge a person by the company they keep, so any friend of the Stoners’ is an immediate friend of ours! Jessy is no exception. Bligh is hilarious and a pilot, and since I come from a family of hilarious pilots, we got along just fine. :)

While Bligh has many attributes to love, my favorite may be his strong passion for mondo grass. :)
