Some Faves

Some couples spend their wedding day stressing about the schedule. Genesis and Norm, on the other hand, enjoyed every minute.


From the emotional moments before the ceremony to celebrating with a room full of family and friends, these two brought so much joy and personality to their wedding at Lavender on the Lake in St. Cloud, FL. They weren't just going through the motions of a wedding day. They were genuinely enjoying it, and as their photographer, that made the experience even better.


One of the most touching moments was Genesis's first look with her dad. There's something special about seeing a father's reaction when he gets to see his daughter dressed for her wedding. It's one of those moments that happens so quickly, but the emotion behind it makes it worth preserving forever.


Another detail I loved was how Genesis and Norm chose to share their vows privately. Instead of exchanging those personal words in front of everyone, they created a moment just for the two of them. I thought that was such a beautiful way to make the day their own. With so much happening around a wedding, having a little time to slow down and focus on each other can mean everything.


And then there was the celebration itself!


These two were so much fun to photograph. They laughed, enjoyed their guests, and made room for the unexpected moments that often become some of the best memories. Their family and friends brought plenty of energy, and it was clear how many people were genuinely happy to be there celebrating with them.


As a wedding photographer, I love working with couples who allow themselves to be present. Of course, we make time for beautiful portraits and all the important traditional photographs, but I'm also looking beyond the obvious moments: the reactions from family, the hugs between old friends, and the little interactions happening while everyone else is focused on the main event.



Genesis and Norm, thank you for trusting me with your wedding photography. I had such an awesome time documenting your day, and I'm grateful I got to capture the meaningful moments, the laughter, and the memories you made with everyone you love.


You made this day your own, and that is exactly what made it so special. Congratulations to you both! 🤍
