I had a great time yesterday at the Your Wedding TV Ultimate Bridal Show at the Rosen Plaza in Orlando!

It was my first time participating in a bridal show, and I wasn’t sure what to expect. With the doors slated to open at 1pm, I couldn’t believe how many excited brides and grooms were lined up as early as 11am. I’m waiting to hear how many brides came to the show, but I would guess over 700!

Our booth got a lot of attention, with many couples looking for 2013 and even 2014 availability. It was so nice talking to all of the brides and grooms about their upcoming weddings. Everyone seemed to have a great time at the show, with the cake tastings and chocolate fountains, being as always, a big hit.

It was also nice to see some vendors who I’ve worked with before. In addition, it was nice to meet some new vendors. Our booth was between Sprinkles Custom Cakes of Winter Park and DJ Live Productions. I have to say, it was hard sticking to New Year’s resolutions with cupcakes staring at me the entire day!

Thanks again to everyone that came out, and please contact us if you have any follow-up questions!

Come visit us at the Ultimate Bridal Show next Sunday – January 15, 2012 at the Rosen Plaza Hotel on International Drive in Orlando!

It’s my first bridal show and I’m so excited to participate in such a great event!

An annual tradition of mine is going with friends and family to the Festival of Trees, held at the Orlando Museum of Art (OMA). It’s a great start to the holiday season, and there are so many gorgeous trees, wreaths, and gingerbread houses.

The Orlando Museum of Art generally picks a theme to go with other exhibits that they are hosting. This year’s theme was Hip Holiday! which was gave it a early 1960′s feel.

Even though there were hundreds of decorated trees to choose from, I focused more on the amazing tiny ornaments hung from the trees. I hope that you enjoy these collages and check out the Festival of Trees next year at the Orlando Museum of Art!

The past few weeks have been hectic, but fun! I’ve been doing many different photo sessions around Orlando. Everyone is doing family photos as gifts or Christmas cards. It may sound silly, but I always get excited when I see one of my photos in a client’s holiday card.

I’ve been all around town to do these photos. I did a family photo session this past weekend at Cypress Grove Park. Before that, I had a couples portrait session in Winter Garden along the West Orange Trail.

I also did several portrait sessions this year at Walt Disney World. I had two different family portrait sessions at Disney’s Boardwalk resort. I also did a portrait session at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. The Osborne Spectacle of Lights made for an amazing backdrop for some great images!

I also had a home portrait session with my two dogs. Every year, our Christmas cards feature them, and it’s an annual challenge to top the previous year’s card. (I’ll be posting those pictures later).

I’ve attached a collage of some of my recent photos. I hope you enjoy them!

I recently photographed the engagement session of Lisa and John in Cooca, Florida. Near the historic Cocoa Village is a collection of small parks — Riverside Park and Lee Wenner Park.

John and Lisa had a fun picnic themed engagement photo complete with homemade cupcakes, sandwiches, and wine. They’ll be getting married next fall in Jacksonville, Florida.

Please enjoy the images from the photo session!
