Mysti + John : Winter Park Engagement Session

June 19, 2013 by Jensey 3 Comments

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! :)

Winter Park, Florida Engagement Session

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

Maria + Mike : In Love

October 10, 2011 by Jensey 1 Comment

We first met Maria “on the job” when she was DJing Courtney and Craig’s wedding back in 2009. She was wonderful, fun, professional, and is still one of the few DJs on our reccomended vendor list. (*cough*ContactHerHereToDJYourWedding!*cough*)

Though we’ve only hung out a couple of times, she always leaves me feeling like I’m hanging out with the coolest kid in class… You know, the kind that has a reference joke for everything, and even though 50% fly over my head, I laugh at all her jokes and still leave thinking, Gah, I hope she likes me!!

When Maria asked us to do a shoot with her and her love, Mike, we jumped at the chance! We met them, played around Park Avenue, and had fun getting to know her other half, Mike, who is just as quick witted and fun to be around as Maria. :)

Maria, you make this whole photography thing easy!

Hello, gorgeous!!

Favorite!

They told us this is much more true to “real” life. :) Maria and Mike, thank you so so so much! Dinner soon, promise! :)

Gloria + Joel : Engagement

March 30, 2011 by Jensey 8 Comments

Few things make us sadder in this business than having to tell a couple we’re already booked on their wedding date, and the sadness is tenfold when the bride or groom is the sibling of a past Root bride or groom! We’ve photographed both of Gloria’s brothers’ weddings, and I was heartbroken that we were unavailable for her wedding. Luckily, we were still able to meet up and shoot some photos around Winter Park!
