I loved meeting Joslyne and Wes in Seaside for their engagement photos! They had some serious chemistry and that special spark that is so much fun to capture! It was great getting to know them and I am so looking forward to their upcoming wedding on April 16th at a private residence in Seagrove Beach....

I like #17!
#17 is fantastic, so vivid and bright it just leaves me feeling so cheery. The white of the dress stands out great against the green grass background. And it was captured beautifully, perfect timing for the way the dress is falling and the bride’s look of total happiness. Excellent photo!!
number 16 a bride with an attitutde, what every man wants in a woman, deep down
#17 of course!!! =D

Hey friends,
Thanks for voting for your favorite! Each image has a number above it, please include that in your blog comment. Happy voting!
Number 16 is is beautiful. I bet she has a really nice family! She needs to visit Oregon!
Number 16 – lovely! You can tell it’s her day, and she’s going to have a great time!
I think your numbers are confusing, my vote goes for Margaret Ossorio, I think the number is 16.
number 16 Meg Ossorio
Meg is a beautiful, unpretentious bride.
I believe I meant #16……the number is on top. This is kind of confusing, please correct.
The dark haired bride with the flowers, indoors. #16
# 17 The look of the bride there cannot be beat! That is a great shot
I’m voting for #3, they look like they are having so much fun and there isn’t any of that stuffiness, that you can sometimes feel. They are just having a good time! They are all awesome Kay! GREAT WORK
#12
Number 16
1 vote for #10!
Of course I vote for #18. You captured a great shot of the father with his beautiful daughter on a day that is both very happy and sad for parents at the same time. Thanks!
So many wonderful choices to vote for and all the photos are absolutely beautiful. But, my vote is for photo #5…..the expression is priceless!
Number 19
It is almost impossible to pick just one! But I have to go with #4 – I love Florida’s marshes and the interplay between the couple’s finery and the basic nature of the marsh is perfect!
I like #9. Great angle!
9
4!!
An editor friend at Brides Magazine called me a few weeks ago about submitting a story about my favorites locations to shoot an engagement session. Since, every wedding I shoot has a complimentary engagement session included, I really had to think of some of my favorite places. I came up with shooting while strolling downtown...
