Talk about a natural beauty (Samantha!) and a natural love! Samantha and Erick tied the knot at the lovely Pink Shell in Fort Myers and well, as I’ve said before: you just can’t take a bad picture of two people in love.

Loving the negative space here….

 

Ok, so those of you who follow know by now that I am a shoe-fanatic. I LOVE to shoot them in all sorts of compromising positions! :O

 

 

The beautiful bride in one of her many bridal portraits we created that day…..

 

Love playing with color, shape and line!

 

I’ve been diving into more Photoshop tricks (trying to learn something new to teach my students) and have been really playing with eyes….and Samantha has these beautiful eyes that are thoughtful…..

 

And full of fire!

 

Erick, the handsome groom….

 

Another one of our favorite backdrops to play with down here in Southwest Florida are skies and clouds. What better to frame a beautiful moment like this?

 

 

Another couple bound by love!

 

Samantha and Erick had a very funny, friendly and happy crew to share their special day with!

 

Color, color, color!!

 

A dramatic moment deserves a dramatic backdrop….loved working with texture and color here….

 

….and look at the wonderful tenderness in this kiss. See! My job = super easy when you take pictures of happy couples in love!

 

Easily one my favorite shots of the day. I have a total die-for love of anything that feels Fall-ish and comes from a cooler state i.e. NOT from Florida! And this shot to me feels and looks like it was taken up north somewhere on a cool Fall day.

 

More love….the world surely needs it!

 

Ah….more having fun with skies and sea oats!

 

And another view I love….a beautiful gown, slimy and gloriously green rocks and happy Florida revelers in the background!

 

Color, color, color!! Shoes, shoes, shoes!! Fuzzy rocks, fuzzy rocks, fuzzy rocks. Such a cool juxtaposition of textures and color, no?

 

 

Dramatic skies for this picture perfect day!

 

 

No words needed!

 

I have to say that the clouds that day were really beautiful.

 

Textures, shapes, and color again….

 

See! Samantha is an absolute stunner!

 

A little Man Ray effect going on here!

 

Love it for Halloween!

 

Uhm, no words needed!

 

The beautiful Pink Shell Beach Resort and Spa at night! KUDOS to Dony at the Pink Shell for ensuring Samantha and Erick’s day was 100% snag-free!
