Lorena and Sean were married the first weekend in June in Pensacola, Florida. It was a nice rainy day out but you know what they say about raining on your wedding day right? This wedding was a long time coming for Lorena and Sean. He proposed two years ago! I’m so happy their big day finally got here. I knew it was going to be fun as soon as I read their contract and Lorena wrote her wedding colors to be electric aqua blue, mango tangerine orange and sandy wheat! It was surely a fun wedding to shoot, especially that reception. Lorena and Sean are crazy fun dancers! 20100605-DSC_0295

Probably one of my favorite shoe shots ever! Plus they are my favorite brand of heels so that might help.

Isn’t Lorena gorgeous? I don’t think I can take a bad photo of her?

This next photo is my favorite from the whole day. I don’t know why I like it either but I do. Maybe its the fact that nothing is in focus? Or all the pretty flowers?

While I was with the girls Leslie met up with Sean for a few photos. Oddly enough the guys weren’t ready yet.

Sean’s favorite moment of the day was saying his vows. 20100605-DSC_0662

At this point in time it was pouring outside.

Lorena’s favorite moment in the day was enjoying the last dance of the evening with their family and friends.

After the cake cutting and toast I noticed it was no long raining and I wanted to get a few of just them and I am so super glad we did.

You guys were awesome. Thanks for coming out with me for the photos. It was worth it right? Even with the rain. I thoroughly enjoyed your wedding day! Thank you so much for trusting me with your memories.

Lorena’s advice for the future bride: You must be willing to accept “last minute” changes. Things will “go wrong”.

Sean’s advice- Gather your guest’s addresses first, everything else will fall into place.

I have known Becky since I was in high school even though she went to Pace. We went to the same church together. I always loved her curls. Oddly enough I dont know of this is true or not but I believe her fiance, Ryan and she met while dancing every Friday at Pensacola Swing. I just assumed that was the case and never asked them. How odd of me. Oh well. They are so cute dancing together and her little curls bounce all around. Ryan is a Weapons System Operator flying the F-15E Strike Eagle up here at little ole Seymour Johnson AFB. Soon he they will be moving to Mountain Home AFB once he finishes up school here.

Ryan flew into Pensacola(as a surprise) a week before we took these photos and proposed. I think he could only stay one day and then he had to fly back out. How romantic!? A few days later he asked me to meet up with them to take their engagement photos(since he knew I’d be in town). I was super excited about it and about them getting engaged because they are just so darn cute together and I knew it was bound to happen eventually! We met up in downtown Pensacola because that’s where he proposed at!

Every now and then when I have a session with someone they will have a few ideas. I absolutely LOVE when you have ideas and thoughts for photos so please bring them! This was their idea and I think its the cutest thing ever!Also- what do you think about these here frames for the photos? Im thinking about integrating them into the blog because I think they are super cute and would go well with the blog?

Did forget to mention that while I was in Pensacola it was scheduled to rain EVERY DAY!?!? In a lot of these shots it was raining( even if just a little bit) but they still worked it.Soon after we moved on over to one of their favorite spots in Pensacola.

I have known Lorena’s family since I was in middle school. Her brother Brandon and I used to sit on the bus together and talk about Dragon Ball Z. I wasn’t really into it but Brandon was and he was nice and I was new so I tolerated it. ;) Fast forward to high school and Lorena is in my music class. I didn’t talk to her much as I was pretty consumed in myself and my own senior friends. For the Christmas production we ended up singing a duet together; Let It Snow, My favorite. We kept in touch and I was pleasantly surprised to have her ask me to be her wedding photographer! I flew down to Pensacola in April to shoot these and boy were they hard to keep hidden for so long. It was even harder to keep for the past week. I wanted her bridals to be my first blog on my new blogsite! Anyway, lets get to more of the goodies!
