Searching through the Archives of Shake Portraits & Shakespeare Photography I found this Engagement Shoot shot at the Kapok Tree Florida, Julie & Fadi were a wonderful couple and as usual the Florida sun provided us with beautiful light.

What can I say, we are very very sloppy at blogging. We get told off by our Brides all of the time, ‘You must Blog’ they say, so here goes, we have about 100 weddings this year so far to blog about, I think I might settle down for a long night!!

Michelle & Greg were truly a wonderful couple to photograph, we must be the luckiest Wedding Photographers in the whole world, our Brides are amazing & the grooms are so cool, truth is Wedding Photography is more about helping to create moments, If the Bride & Groom are genuinely enjoying their day then the pictures will be beautiful. Michelle looks very calm & serene in this photograph, reflecting, anticipating the day to come, soft light from the window did a beautiful job of of setting the scene.

St Augustine was a beautiful place, the silence was only broken by the birds who serenaded Michelle constantly.

The rain held off the whole day leaving a stormy sky in its place, nothing could dampen the spirits of the Wedding party,

We traveled to the bay for an impromptu photo shoot, a light breeze gently lifted Michelle’s veil,

Some of these buildings are over 100 years old & formed the perfect backdrop for these photographs,

Things got very dramatic as the sun went down,

Allison seemed every bit the 1950′s starlet, Andy & the boys were happy to let her and the girls steal the show! This wedding was fun fun fun.

A trip to Europe was in order when I was asked to photograph the TV Chef Jamie Oliver.  Jamie has had a massive impact on school dinners in the UK, making more healthy options available, he is now in the US attempting to do the same. We wish him luck.

Wow, what an awesome surprise we had this morning, an email from Wedding wire informing us that we had been voted the ‘Brides Choice’ Wedding Photographer for 2011. This is a National award putting us within the top 5% of the Nations Wedding professionals. I just wanted to give a big shout out to all of our amazing Brides who voted for us, as well as all of the venues, planners, florists, caterers etc who we have the pleasure to work with every day.
