Wow, so this blog has been a LONG time coming. First off, I apologize to everyone (especially Kimberly & Jason) for not posting more lately! This crazy little thing called work (and life) have a nasty habit of getting in the way & blogging always seems to fall to the back burner. I have a vague recollection of making a New Years resolution to NOT let that happen. Well… I’ll keep working on it 
haha!
Anyways, enough with my rambling (another nasty little habit & New Years resolution there lol), and on with this story!
Another thing a long time coming has been Kimberly & Jason’s WEDDING! I met Kimberly when she booked her wedding… what?… a year and a half ago!? At least? By the time the wedding had rolled around I was really excited for it, more than I am usually! She is absolutely, hands down, probably one of THE sweetest people I have EVER met, and let’s just say Jason is an extremely lucky guy. She loves him completely & entirely, and one look at the smile on his face during those vows and you could tell the feeling was absolutely mutual Let’s face it – we see a lot of weddings, and I still cry from time to time. But folks… I was wishing I had tissues at this ceremony. Mother/son dances are usually my weakness (blame the mamma in me), but occasionally a ceremony does me in, and this is definitely one that had me in tears.
Kimberly has this amazing personality, though – and she kept me laughing all through the day, right on into the ceremony. Gosh, how I wish I were a videographer for their “First Dance”! They played a mix of songs, and took turns doing everything from the robot, to “Vogue”… the list goes on. It was hysterical! These two are definitely meant to be together, and I found myself really “missing” them after their wedding! So Kim – I know you’re reading this – let’s do lunch or coffee or something! But… after May! LOL (Busy wedding month & all).
They are from the area, and had an absolutely beautiful little ceremony at Florida Park in Niceville (well, actually Valparaiso), which is my newest favorite place ever. The weather was perfect, the leaves were still autumn-ey looking, but the flowers were also blooming already, and it was just perfect!
Ok, so I know she’s wiggling in her seat right now, on with the pictures huh?!
The day started off with absolutely perfect weather at Kim’s mothers house.
After getting ready at her mom’s house in Niceville – we headed over to one of my favorite places – Turkey Creek in Niceville!
Kim looked absolutely amazing that day, and of course, Turkey Creek always has the most beautiful light. Fabulous combination
My favorite shot at any wedding… the groom looking at his bride, taking it all in… it says a million words
And here you can see why this is one my most favorite places to photograph now. It was a little wet from some recent rain, but amazing light, beautiful background, perfect trees & leaves, insert an amazing couple and you have a happy wedding photographer
After the wedding, we took a fun little trip around town and had a blast! I was so excited that I finally got to photograph in this little corner of Niceville before heading out to Destin for the wedding reception.
I love this little place… and turns out Kim is an avid reader, so it worked out really well. By the way… check out those pink converse And… also featured – her “man of honor” and the best man!
So… I could have put in a few of the hilarious wedding dances… but as soon as I saw this one, I changed my mind. Who knew there was anyone else in the room…
By the way, I have to tell you guys. The wedding reception was at Fudpuckers out in Destin, FL. Having had my OWN wedding & reception at a bar, I was totally stoked (cause that almost always = party!).
I had a tough time narrowing them down, so of course my other favorites are here in the video
