Tara + Anthony, Walter Jones Park, Mandarin Fl.
If you're at all familiar with our blog you know that we only write a very minimal amount. We're artists, not authors. We like to think that our work speaks for it's self and words aren't a necessity for anything other than SEO. But.... a few months ago we had our initial consultation with Tara and Anthony. We had no idea of the story we were about to be told and the assignment we would be given.
A while ago Tara was in a car accident. She was fine but as a precaution she was taken to the hospital and given a CAT scan. The doctors found a brain tumor about the size of a golf ball. Tara had no symptoms and the news was a complete shock to say the least. Shortly afterward she had a major brain surgery and the parts of the tumor that could be found were successfully removed! The saying God works in mysterious ways must ring in everyones mind when hearing this.
Recently, just days before their engagement session, Tara had a seizure. So back to the hospital she went and after an MRI and tons of tests, Timmy the Tumor (as Tara likes to call it) has reared his ugly face again. She now has another brain surgery scheduled very soon.
Throughout all of this Tara has been unbelievably upbeat, positive, loving, and most of all, thankful for every day she has been given. She and Anthony are an absolute pleasure to be around.
Tara and Anthony are also super creative people! Something that might not seem like a big deal to most people but to us it can be quite intimidating! Are we going to live up to their expectations, are they going think everything we do is lame?
So at their engagement session we decided to try our best to shoot past what they were doing at the moment and try to capture who they are as people, as a couple, and how much they love each other and life!
It is our deepest hopes that after you view these images you feel like you know Tara and Anthony just a little bit and your day is just a little bit brighter than it was before!
PS. Tara will be unable to work for some time after her surgery and is in need of funds for living expenses and the portion of the surgery not covered by insurance. If you have a moment, please donate what you can to help! (Click HERE for more info.)
Nakeena + Dwaine, Riverside Jacksonville
We are so happy these two were able to fly in from San Francisco for their engagement session. If just shooting their engagement photos for a few hours was this fun, I can't imagine how much fun their wedding is going to be!
Engagement Session at The Jacksonville Fair
Heather and Eric are having a carnival themed wedding, so it was only natural that they would have their engagement session at The Greater Jacksonville Agricultural Fair. It is definitely a place that creativity comes easily along with a few laughs and some great food!
Thanks so much you guys!!!
MaryAnne + Jerry's Springfield Engagement
MaryAnne and Jerry told us they wanted something different for their engagement photos, which is pretty much the best thing someone could say to us! We love getting creative while at the same time keeping it conservative -(if that makes any sense). In any case, MaryAnne and Jerry took us to some of their favorite places downtown and into their beautiful home in Springfield. The result was creative photographs that are also personal to them... and not cheesy!
Thanks and Congratulations you guys! We had a blast!!
Krissy and Chad
Jerry and his brother Jason are the owners of Strata Clothing. Check it out!!
We love these photos taken at MaryAnne and Jerry's house!
We stopped by 11 East downtown, where Jerry chose door #2 and met the girl of his dreams!
We also stopped by a swanky little bar MaryAnne and Jerry like to frequent, Dos Gatos.
Nikki + Steve's Wedding
Nikki and Steve's Wedding was nothing short of perfect! All of their hard work planning paid off on one of the most beautiful days of the year. The rooftop of OC White Room and Downtown St.Augustine were the perfect setting for these two! Not to mention great places for us to photograph!! Thanks for having us you guys and we'll talk to you soon!!!! Krissy and Chad
