Welcome To My Blogsite!

My name is Christina and I am a lover of chocolate, weddings, travel,taking pictures, reading,food and my family.

I am a Wedding/Boudoir Photographer by choice and a Wife, Mom and Grandma because of love.

At this point in life I never know what is going to come next. So I roll with the punches and keep moving. Weddings are like that to you have to be ready for almost anything and if your not well....that's ok too that's what makes the journey and the stories you'll tell all the more fun.

Ocoee House Wedding William+Lisa

Posted on May 20, 2010

My husband called me early one Friday morning .  You have to talk to this guy he said.  After playing phone tag most of the morning I finally spoke with William who explained to me that he and his lovely bride Lisa were to be married the next day and he was in need of a photographer.  I know what your thinking ,why did he wait till the day before for something this important, right?  Before I could ask he explained that his friend who does a lot of photography work for him was sick and unable to shoot his wedding.  He had found us on the internet and then he told me I was the only photographer he had called.   I know many photographers wouldn’t take a last minute job like this but I am a romantic at heart and knew I couldn’t turn William down.

William and I talked for quite awhile and I discovered that he works with this really great charity called Clean the World.  They are recycling soap and saving lives, to read more about it click here.  While giving me details of the wedding and directions, William let me know that he and Lisa were having a small wedding at his sister’s house on the lake.  His sister had not only opened her home to them, but did the flower arangements as well.  The catering was done by Denise’s Catering and the DJ was a friend of the family.

Meeting the bride for the first time as she is about to get dressed is not the way I would always want to do things but it semed to work on this day.  Lisa was cold and nervous and ready before everyone which gave us a few minutes to take these shots and get to know one another.

This was the view of the pool and the lake where the ceremony was to be held.  It was just beautiful.

After the ceremony Lisa’s sister’s came to me and told me they really wanted to do this next shot and they knew if we didn’t do it quick she would back out.

They had an awesome cupcake tower with a cake on top.  Williams Mom let me know that I had to try the cupcakes before I left and she made sure I did that.  Both families were awesome and treated Kyle and I like we were family.  We had such a great time and I’m glad that we decided to help this gracious couple out.  William and Lisa I wish you many happy years and I thank you for letting us be a part of your day.
