Wedding under the Oaks {Brevard County Wedding Photographer}

A couple weeks ago I had the honor of capturing Angie and Steve's wedding. It was a beautiful small ceremony surrounded by their friends and loved ones. They were married under the oaks at the Courtyard at the Oaks. If you have not been to this venue, I suggest checking it out for your wedding needs.

Angie and I used to work at the bank together. I had the privilege of capture their sweet daughter's newborn photos too. So I was thrilled when I had the opportunity to capture their wedding day. While I promote family, newborn, couple and maternity photography, I also capture weddings. These are usually smaller scaled weddings and I only take on a few a year to ensure you get the attention you need from me. I like to think of myself as YOUR photographer meeting all of your NEEDS. So while some say I should pin myself into one "style" of photography, I enjoy meeting all of your needs from I love you to I do, from bump to baby and every special moment in between. Just like for Angie and Steve.

Their wedding day was such a beautiful day too. We had great weather and everything went perfectly. Their venue hosted the ceremony and the reception which made it nice for guests a like to not have to travel around. We had a nice amount of time reserved for Angie and Steve's bridal portrait session that we were able to capture some amazing shots. If you don't know, The Courtyard at the Oaks is in the same shopping center as the movie theater. So naturally one would think there is no where to get nice pictures because it's a parking lot. Oh but that is where I come in. ;) It is a great location with lots of little gems to create beautiful images.

The reception was indoors and was nice too. The location provided a nice dancing area. I learned the groom who has some pretty good karaoke skills also has some pretty good line dancing skills. It was a fun wedding surrounded by their friends and family.

Amanda and Sean's Wedding {brevard County Wedding Photographer}

At the end of April I had the pleasure of capturing Amanda and Sean's wedding. It was such a nice wedding too. They had a small gathering of family and friends at Gleason Park and exchanged their vows. We had a nice amount of time set aside for their bridal portraits and then followed up with a low key reception. Many times today we throw these huge weddings and go all out on the things that don't really matter long term. Don't get me wrong, they are fun weddings, but if your budget doesn't allow it, don't stress about needing all that.

In fact as a photographer, I honestly feel my job is one of the most important the day of your wedding. Once the vows are exchanged, the kiss is sealed, the cake is cut and the flowers are tossed; all you have left is the pictures that are captured. 99% of women never wear their dress again. The flowers will die if you try to keep them. The cake will go stale and the decorations only last so long. The music fades and all you have left are the memories and the photos. 

So when you are planning your wedding, I work with you to provide a custom wedding day package to meet your needs and give you the memories you want. And that is just what we did for Amanda and Sean. They wanted to make sure they had nice pictures of the two of them and their family shots. They knew their reception was low key so they option to focus more on them and less on the reception. We got so many great shots of them and we still captured the highlights of the reception too.

Congrats to Amanda and Sean, I wish them the best of luck and a lifetime of happiness!
