Ashlynd and Morgan- New Smyrna Beach, FL Wedding

UPDATED:  FULL SLIDESHOW

A few weeks ago I first met Ashlynd and Morgan when I photographed them for an engagement photography session.  After seeing how the images turned out from that session they booked me to capture the memories of their wedding day.  On Saturday, they were wed in a ceremony on the beach at Smyrna Dunes Park in New Smyrna Beach, FL on the South side of the Ponce Inlet.  They are a real fun couple and their love for each other can brighten any room they walk into.  It was a real pleasure to be able to capture these images.

One of the coolest things for this wedding ceremony was the planned formation fly-over by these planes.  If anyone in New Smyrna Beach saw the fly-over it was for this wedding.  The Groom is a graduate of Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and arranged the fly-over.

The reception following the ceremony was held at the Nuns & Roses Bed and Breakfast in New Smyrna Beach, FL.  It is a quaint little B&B with a great area the call the 'wedding gardens' which is perfect for intimate outdoor receptions.  I had a chance to create some fun images of the reception and use some off camera flash to make the images below.

This image below is the Man of Honor (The Bride's Brother).  He was making a toast which was as serious as it was funny.  This shot came together with some luck and a lot of exposures to get a few shots that worked.  It was a little bit of a challenge to shoot the reception outside at night, but I made it work and I like the results. 

The catering and wedding coordinators were from Encore Catering of Central Florida in DeLand, FL.  Including the custom made cupcake tree below.

Congratulations Ashlynd and Morgan!  

Thank-you for letting me capture your wedding and your love for each other.

Cheers, 

-Pete

Thank-you, your podcast is an absolute piece of gold in the wedding photography industry.  

It's the little things, like 'Thank you' that make it worth it

Yesterday was a great day for Emanon Photography.  My business day started with a meeting with one of my brides and her mom for a wedding I will be shooting in two weeks.  We went over some of the details of the wedding and I had a chance to get to know them a little better as well.  They ended up buying me lunch and will probably be booking me soon for a Morning after the wedding family portrait session.

Later I met with another one of my brides whose wedding I will be photographing in mid November to go over some details with her.  I shot a family portrait session with her a few weeks ago and she surprised me with a thank you card and a gift certificate to a local restaurant to thank me for the photos.

Working as a photographer is quickly becoming the coolest job I could have ever imagined.  I can make my clients and their family members cry tears of joy with just a few clicks of my shutter.  It blows my mind, and I am grateful for all my clients and their support of this adventure I call Emanon Photography.

Thank you, to all my Past, Present, and Future Clients!!!
