Tiffany and Adam’s Pensacola Wedding

Tiffany and Adam chose their old college stomping grounds for their Pensacola wedding and needless to say we were honored to be asked if we would make the 6 hour drive to cover their February 27 th wedding! 5 Eleven, an old historic building in the heart of downtown Pensacola, was the site for both the ceremony and the reception. It’s a charming old building with brick walls and huge glass windows that let in a lot of natural light, perfect for photographs. Tiffany was a beautiful and elegant bride while Adam was quite the handsome groom! Tiffany and Adam’s color scheme was a soft spring of eggplant purples, pinks & lavenders with a touch of classy rustic. Her  Martina Liana gown came from the bridal shop Bustle , in Baton Rouge Louisiana, where the bride and groom live. It was a stunning fit-and-flare gown with 15 yards of hand cut lace meticulously arranged over rich dolce satin. The petite cap sleeves featured an organically finished edge design,the skirt fans full into a chapel train, and the zip in the back hidden discreetly underneath fabric covered buttons. The weather for the day was perfect and Tiffany’s fondest memory of the day was the “First Look” between her and Adam before the ceremony…”It was such a special moment between just Adam and I ” she said. Her advice for newly engaged couples planning their wedding…”The only things walking away from your wedding are 3 things…1-your dress,2-pictures, 3-a video. So, make sure you LOVE all 3 when booking your vendors and picking out dresses!”

Pensacola Wedding Photography

Adam and Tiffany chose their old college stomping grounds for their wedding this weekend in Pensacola and we are so honored to have been brought in to cover the event. We shoot primarily Central Florida weddings but have now covered all corners of the state, from Jacksonville down to the Keys, Sarasota over to Cocoa , and now beautiful Pensacola. Although it was quite a drive we have travelled further…Tucson AZ, North Carolina, Trinidad and even South Africa! This weekend Stan and I travelled almost 1000 miles and enjoyed every minute of it…did I mention that we left 3 kids behind…perhaps part of the reason we had such a good time, seems breaks from parenting are quite refreshing! We had a fun group to work with, a beautiful couple, lovely location and soft afternoon light. We even enjoyed a side trip on our way home to see Florida’s only caves at the Caverns State Pk in Marianna. Thanks for choosing Stan and I to be your Pensacola wedding photographers Tiffany and Adam, congratulations and many long years of happiness to you both!

Orlando wedding photographers: Rosen Shingle Creek

After dating for 2 years with a 15 month engagement, Christine Barnette and Todd Robbins chose Rosen Shingle Creek for their February 21st wedding. A beautiful location for a gorgeous couple! Todd was so handsome and Christine was just gorgeous in her Paloma Blanca dress from The Collection.

The color was cream, the fabric lace and silk, with a striking beaded sash across the waist. M3 Makeup Services did a great job with Christine’s hair and makeup, completing the image of the beautiful bride! Todd and Christine’s color scheme was cobalt blue and white with pops of silver, beautifully accomplished in her bouquet done by Lee Forest Design. Their friends and family were a fun group and the celebrations continued for hours with music provided by Junction 88 Productions.

“Our favorite memory of our wedding day was sitting down at our sweet heart table after our first dance. With everything that goes on during a wedding day this was a time when we could just sit relax and take in everything, really be in the moment and our favorite experience working with S&S would be the way you captured us smiling. We are generally smiling happy people, but for some reason as soon as that camera comes out our smiles run and hide. S & S did a wonderful job of capturing what most cameras cannot.”

Congratulations Todd and Christine and thank you for allowing S & S to be a part of such a momentous occasion in your lives!

Winter Park Farmer’s Market Wedding Photographers

Samantha and Josh definitely are one of the most unconventional couples we’ve had the pleasure of working for! After experiencing many life changing moments together like the birth of their son Jagger, buying a new home together, and being together for 9 yrs, marriage was not a priority says Sam. But, when Josh did propose, Sam says “It was on!”

They chose the Winter Park Farmers Market for both the ceremony and reception, and then the dress shopping began. Sam and her Maid of Honor Amanda headed to Bloomingdales where Sam saw, and urged by Amanda tried on, a beautiful blue dress. When she saw it she thought, “OMG that dress is beautiful!” But is was blue…so the search continued.

On another day, with Mom in tow, Sam tried on many traditional white, beige and blush dresses, but none was just right. Back at Bloomingdales they headed, where Amanda snuck in, amidst the traditional dresses, the blue one. That blue dress was the last dress Sam tried on and when her and her Mom both began to cry she knew it was THE ONE!

“It was the first I ever tried on and it became the last. I felt like myself in it!” Sam’s theme was vintage, rustic chic…very simple and relaxed. Her hair was classic vintage, and she choose a stunning diamond headband to complement and not overpower her hairstyle and dress.

Hairstylists Carrie Brown and Danielle Watkins at www.beautyagogofl.com did a beautiful job!

“What I loved most about S & S Photography is that their personalities were so amazing. Charlene and Stan were able to capture some of the most amazing moments during the wedding that I will always have! I am grateful to them for making our pictures amazing!”

Ruth & Daniel’s Princess Wedding

In 2005 Ruth Cherubin and her family left Haiti for Florida and it wasn’t too long before she met and fell in love with her Prince Charming, Daniel Uva. Ruth picked the first dress she tried on at David’s Bridal! In her words it was “the only one I could see myself walking down the aisle to Daniel.”

Her choice of a Princess/ Cinderella type dress was perfect as she always “thinks of her husband as Price Charming” and he certainly looked the part in his classic, elegant black tux. The couple’s color scheme centered around Ruth’s love for the color red which to her represents passion and romance. The champagne accents represent elegance and class, two colors that represent the love they share and the fact that they are each other’s first love.

Love runs strong and true in Ruth’s family. Her parents flew in Pastor Raymond Brinks to perform the March 6th ceremony at Mystic Dunes…the same Pastor that married her parents in 1984! We wish this smart and beautiful couple a lifetime of happiness!

Annie & Marc’s wedding at The Tides

WOW! We loved, loved, loved the colors at Annie and Marc Butlers wedding at The Tides at PAFB! Orange, charcoal and white was the couple’s color scheme with hints of starfish. Annie’s flowers were just beautiful, a combination of gerbera daisies, lilies, roses, dahlias and pincushion protea from Kelly Shannon Florist in Orlando. Their delicious main cake and center table cakes were from the Publix bakery in Cocoa Beach. Annie was just stunning in her delicate lace dress and I loved her decision to be comfortable and wear orange crocheted TOMs Shoes. Marc was very handsome in his linen suit with a checkered orange tie and boutonniere and boat shoes. All together this was a strikingly beautiful wedding with a gorgeous couple and we wish them many years of love and happiness!
