We were so excited to see that Renee and Nathan’s wedding was featured on the La Belle Bride blog today! Click on the image below to check it out!
My mom has worked at Daytona State College for MANY years now. Back when I was a student there getting my AA degree (it was called Daytona Beach Community College), my mom and I rode in together most of the time. So, I spent a majority of my time in her office working on homework, getting help with algebra from all the different math instructors, and just hanging out with some really fun people. Some saw me grow up from the age of 8 through pictures on my mom’s desk and stories she told. Others I got to know later on when I was a student. One in particular was Dr. Walter Saviuk. He is such a nice man. He’s funny, a great story-teller, and he always had food for us…the Einstein bagels were my favorite!
So, last fall when my mom was showing our photography to different people at work, Walter was one of them. He told her his daughter, Alexis had just gotten engaged, and that he was going to have her take a look at our website…and, now, it’s already spring and here we are posting their engagement session! Time really does fly! Well, since we were in Florida for a Jacksonville wedding, we decided to head home to central FL and spend some time with family.
While we were there, we got together with Alexis and her fiance, Tim in Daytona Beach to do their session. We decided to meet at the Daytona Beach Pier and start there. And, not surprising, it was already H-O-T at 8 o’clock in the morning!
And, here they are…Alexis & Tim!
Then, we headed over to Bicentennial Park in Ormond Beach.
Then, we decided to have some fun on the playground!
Tim’s a big gator fan, so we had to get a shot of the hat all by itself!
Wow, what a fun day! Thanks so much for being open to all of our ideas. And, thank you for the lunch recommendation at the Flagler Beach Pier…such a great view! We can’t wait for August 7th…see you then!!
xoxo

As promised, here’s part II! Enjoy!!
Rose of Sharon did such beautiful work with all the florals! I LOVED the centerpieces…they were so fun and whimsical.
And, the gorgeous AND delicious cake was from Signature Cakes by Paul.
Candis’s friend, Jamal Hafza, the lead singer of Calling All Stars sang “Come Rain or Come Shine” while Candis and Cameron danced their first dance as husband and wife. Calling All Stars is based out of Atlanta and you can listen to some of their music here and “like” their Facebook page here. They’re amazing, so head on over and check them out!
Candis and Cameron decided to have a photobooth during their reception…and it was SO much fun! We decided to use that wall as the backdrop because it was the oldest wall in Club Continental.
We supply the props but we can’t take credit for the beer-holding belt buckle, that was all Cris…and I loved it!
Ok, let me just say DJ Paul from D’Land Entertainment did an incredible job! Then, to top it off, they end the evening by having a last dance. But, it’s not just any last dance, EVERYONE leaves the reception area (including the DJ) and lets the bride and groom have a private moment. I thought that was such a sweet idea! And, before we left the room as well, we made sure to get some shots!
Cameron’s dad (Tom) and Jere’s dad (Jere), Tom and Jere (yeah, like the cartoon) are both members of the same Triumph car club. So, it was only fitting that their getaway car was Tom’s TR3. After C & C drove it around the block, we were able to do some fun shots with them and the car.
We had so so so much fun during all of the wedding festivities! Jere and I were honored to be able to document this special time in your lives…thank you for allowing us to do so!!
Love you guys, and CONGRATULATIONS, we wish you a lifetime of happiness!!!

Ashley and I headed to Jacksonville, Florida area for the wedding of some old friends of mine. I’ve known Candis and Cameron both since high school (11 years ago). It’s funny to think back about how they were only friends during that time and just a few years ago they became more than just friends. I couldn’t be more happy for them…they are perfect for each other! And, speaking of perfect, the weather could not have been more perfect. The dropping sun and the cool breeze made for a wonderful ceremony and reception at The Club Continental on the St. Johns River.
Candis, her daughter, Calea, and other members of the family had their makeup done by Sunshine of Makeup by Sunshine. They looked beautiful!
The little cutie-pie, Calea.
Cameron, the studly groom.
Watching the guests arrive out on the courtyard.
You may remember this beautiful couple from their Jekyll Island engagement session which can be seen here. Also, stay tuned for the second half of their gorgeous wedding!

Congratulations Candis and Cameron! You don’t know us but we knew you when you were a little girl like 4 or 5 years old! Your Dad and my husband Paul worked on the ramp together for 9 years. We got together sometimes with your Mom and Dad and you and Dave, Jr. were so little. We so enjoyed the beautiful wedding pictures. You were a gorgeous bride and your groom is so handsome. May God bless the two of you and we wish you a long and happy life together! Love, Barb and Paul Harris

I went to high school with Cameron and Candis. I was class of ’99. The pictures are stunning. I had to look up the site. Your work is incredible. I have already told my boyfriend that when we get married you will be the person I call. I can’t wait.

OMG. I don’t know Candis or Cameron (hi!) but these pics are STUNNING. Jere, I wish I had known you three years ago so you could have taken pics at my wedding!!! GORGEOUS!

WOW Jere!!! We had so much fun and you took such amazing pics…. We are so glad you captured our “moments” and were a part of our special day. We love you and Ashley. C&C
We recently did a really fun photoshoot with the FOX News Edge co-host Morgan Fogarty, her husband, Jeremy, and the rest of their adorable family! We met up at the Anne Springs Close Greenway park to find the conditions were wonderful to capture the Fogartys! Perfect temps and sunshine to fill up the images with just the right amount of light.
This session was particularly important to them because, as we discovered during the shoot, they never had the joy of an engagement session before they married. So, Morgan and Jeremy, this your official engagement shoot! They are such a sweet couple and an absolute pleasure to be around, and can’t wait till next time! Thanks you guys!
And, here are their adorable little ones: Maddox ( the Doberman Pinscher), and Winston, and Etta James (French Bulldogs)!
We had such a great time hanging out with you all…THANK YOU SO MUCH for a wonderful afternoon!! Let us know what you think, we love comments below!!!
