Debbie and Bob's Wedding!! - October 18th - Jacksonville, FL

So another amazing client that I'm blessed to work with is Debbie and Bob of Jacksonville. What a cool, hip couple. When I photographed their engagement session, we had such a blast walking all over downtown Jax finding cool walls and textures. I'm going to put their engagement and wedding slide show up this time! They're just a fun, artistic couple and it shows with their sense of fashion and also how they decorate their home. The colors were inspired by a peacock feather. So you can imagine the glorious color of purple used and it really showed. Christina with Christina Kreations did a fabulous job with the decor. Debbie's dress was classic and absolutely beautiful. It fit her like a glove. Bob was cool and handsome in his tux and they were both ready to walk down the aisle together. After the ceremony, we all headed to this HUGE oak tree that had to have been around since the stone ages. Bob Knapik and I got some great shots of them in and around it. The weather was perfect! The reception was at the River Club on the 35th floor of the Modis building downtown Jax. It was the perfect venue to watch the sunset and to enjoy a panoramic view of the city. I think the best part of the night is when Bob surprised his new wife with the destination of their honeymoon: Italy!! Bob also arranged to get their marriage blessed by the Pope in the Vatican! Can you believe that? Congratulations to Debbie and Bob!!


Here's their engagement slide show:

I love these flowers! It was a perfect contrast to the purple dresses...


Her Dad was so proud.

Dave and Christie's Wedding! October 11th - Rosen Shingle Creek, Orlando, FL

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!! It has been such a great Fall wedding season! I am so thankful to have such amazing clients. Two in particular are the fabulous Christie and Dave of Orlando. Their wedding was held at The Rosen Shingle Creek Resort and the weather was perfect! Some of you might remember their engagement session. They were the couple with all the cute doggies! I know that they so wished the hounds could be there for the wedding, but it was too much of a production. Heather Ahrens and I had so much fun photographing the two of them. A special thanks to Blush by Brandee Gaar, Flourish Productions and Rhodes Studios for creating a wonderful day and experience for them. Here are a few images from their big day. Congratulations Christie and Dave!! Thanks for a great wedding! xo -Abby




























This sums up their personality perfectly!

Allison and Jake Wed Today!!

Yay! So excited for Allison and Jake's wedding today. I'm down in Sarasota, FL about to head out to The Lido Beach Resort to begin shooting their wedding. Ally and I went to high school together and I'm so happy and honored that they chose me to document their big day! Here are a few images from their engagement session we did. Good lookin' huh? Wish me luck and I will try and post a few from today later on. Have a great weekend everyone! xo

Kari and Mark tie the knot! September 6th, 2008 - Lakeland, FL

This couple is very dear to me. I used to live in Downtown Orlando for about 2 years and Kari and Mark were my next door neighbors! And yes, I did have to borrow a cup of sugar from time to time. They were great to live next to and to hang out with. Especially with me lugging my equipment in and out the door every weekend for my weddings. We would have dinner every now and then. It consisted of looking in our freezers and seeing what we had to throw together. The meals always ended up being great! So when they came back from a trip to Michigan, Kari showed me her ring and announced that Mark proposed to her, I was thrilled! They are such a great couple. Very laid back and content. I was even more excited when they asked me to photograph their wedding. So here we are, a few months later, and I'm just now getting around to posting this. I couldn't be more happier for a couple than I am for Kari and Mark. Congratulations and let me know when you want to do dinner again! xo
p.s. A special thanks to Bob Knapik Photography and Provacative Productions.
