Casually connecting in an all too familiar and common place, the household kitchen, much more was simmering then a well prepared dish for guests as these two began to sense a growing attraction for each other over a series of friendly get togethers. His love of cooking set the stage as Sandra found herself offering a helping hand in preparing dinner with more than friendship in mind.

We all have a driving factor inside of us that helps determine how we live and what we live for. Sure we are moved from time to time by elements outside of our control, yet our internal driving force keeps us centered on the desires of our heart leading to our greatest longing... this was the case for Sandra and Jeff.

With time, patience, and quiet observation Jeff and Sandra found themselves connecting at every turn however they did not want to rush their relationship. "Considering we haven't always made the right choices in life, we wanted to know this was right, that we made for each other", Jeff shared as we spent the day shooting. "That is genuine love I replied."

Genuine love indeed. Sandra and Jeff understand that value of patience, the power of virtue, and and the relentless fire of romance that comes from an unwavering commitment to honor true love.  Congratulations you guys and thank you for spending a spectacular day with me.

Radiant. Simple. Elegant. Effortless beauty. You can see that she loves him…her eyes tell the story. This gorgeous bride would break into expressive laughter by his simplest gesture while each embrace seemed to naturally fall into place.   Alex is tender, pragmatic, and full of passion.  His musical serenade at the reception only echoed what is evident to all- a steady romance lives within him and her name is Toni.

Like that of a fine wine, time has a remarkably patient way of molding two distinct individuals into one while preserving the finest qualities of both for all to enjoy. With seven years serving as their relational springboard, Toni and Alex invited their cherished loved ones to join them at the Coral Cables Cocoplum to celebrate a public expression of the timeless commitment that bonds them together internally.

With a genuine excitement and simple outlook on life, these two have found a secret... Love each other and those around you the best you can because at the end of the day, love is all that is left.

I loved connecting with this home grown couple as they share a sense of adventure that screams, "let's go for it and make the best of what is in front of us!" Refreshing, young, and free to take on the world in pursuit of big dreams and big plans...my kind of style :) Alice and Allan: Life is waiting for you at every turn and I'm grateful to be part of that. I always look forward to what is next for you two and how you will be used in others lives. Blessings to you both ~ M

There are never enough hours in a day when shooting an in-love, fun and energetic couple like Kelly and David. Orlando was our meeting spot and after a little scope action with my buddy Phil from Jacksonville, we landed on a perfect location to capture their vibrant lifestyle engagement session. Don't ask me how, but the details always just seem to fall into place for an absolutely flawless day of laughter, creativity, and simply a good time with new friends making for a great day! Of course Kelly and David's carefree attitude, relaxed personalities, and life filled interaction added just the right touch as we toured downtown Orlando. Kelly + David: btw, thanks for now following me the wrong way which turned out to be a one way!! We had a fantastic time with you guys :)
