A Backyard Wedding in Citrus Country

High school sweethearts who grew into some of the best adults ever! ...And I can say that with some extra authority, because the handsome groom is my cousin! I can't officially speak for Sarah's family, but I know the Polito side of this love story had been eagerly awaiting this union for a LONG time. Tom & Sarah bring out the best in each other, and I was so excited and honored to get to be the lucky photographer who documented their wedding day. Not only did I get to see tons of my family members at their wedding, I got to spend several days with my awesome grandmother, and I got to photograph my awesome cousin and his beautiful bride at our family's Ranch, which is one of the most special places. Tom and Sarah - THANK YOU for entrusting me with your wedding day photography. You two are amazing and I look forward to many new chapters in your love story in the coming years!

Vanderbeck Valley Farm Wedding

I had the opportunity to assist the fabulous Beth Stafford for a few hours at super-awesome Vanderbeck Valley Farm. I'd never photographed a wedding there before, but I hope to be back soon - it's GORGEOUS! The Vanderbecks are super-sweet and you can tell that they really enjoy hosting weddings. The bride's getting ready room is gorgeous, and full of awesome details, like a cute dressing table and vintage hand mirror. The vintage details don't stop there though. "Henry" the truck is adorable, the "Bar" shack is awesome for drinks and for pictures, and the swing in the garden is pretty great too! 

Country Farm Backyard Wedding: Kevin & Carly

Carly & Kevin got married on June 24th. Their relaxed, family-centered, country backyard wedding, complete with yard games reflected their thoughtful and adventurous spirits perfectly. I didn't do engagement portraits with Kevin & Carly, so I didn't get a chance to know them as well as I'd like - I didn't even get to meet Kevin until wedding day - but seeing how much Kevin cared about all of the wedding day details and how chivalrous he was with Carly was enough for me to get really excited about their wedding. Congratulations, Kevin & Carly - you two balance each other out perfectly - I can't wait to see what's next in store for you!
