Meet the new Mr. & Mrs. ..... Joey & Shelly Corbin

This past weekend I flew (Yes, me!) I got on a plane and flew with my wonderful cousin Jade who was a bridesmaid and her husband LaWayne to Grand Forks, North Dakota for Joey and Shelly's wedding. Shelly and Jade became friends in LaBelle, Florida when Shelly and her family moved here. Through their friendship and the school system where both of Shelly's parents teach and my boys attended school, I have gotten to know and love their family. It was such an honor and thrill for me to be asked to be their photographer and share in the joy of their day. After a long long-distance courtship Joey took Shelly to the Florida Keys where he showed her some pretty rocks on the beach...and one really sparkly one and then he proposed. The two of them have been planning this beautiful wedding with their family's since that day. They joined their lives together at the United Lutheran Church in Grand Forks on Saturday August 14th with over 200 of their closest friends and family and a few wedding crashers too! It was a lovely ceremony with the brides Godfather performing solos during the ceremony. Before the fun reception at the Clarion Inn the wedding party traveled to University Park where we took some very pretty photos. They thought it was pretty funny when we Florida girls referred to what they call pine trees as Christmas Trees. We even had the chanced to do little sight seeing and visit the Cabela's store one of Joeys favorite places to go.

Tiffany & John tied the knot!

My niece Tiffany finally married the man of her dreams in a beautiful outdoor ceremony at Clermont's Historic Village on Lake Minneola on July 24, 2010. Tiffany brought John for a visit earlier this year and we did their engagement photos and she told me about her plans to be married this July. She met John when she was just a teenager and the two re-connected years later. Theirs was a family affair with everyone pitching in to make this a special day for the bride and groom. At home with mom Tiffany was pampered by her Aunt Kristy who did her hair and step-sisters and cousins who all joined in to get her ready for her big day. Downstairs Carol, Tiffany's mom and Joe along with her step-brother and cousin John Christopher put the finishing touches on the appetizers and flowers. Clermont-Minneola Eagles Aerie 4485 was the reception site and everyone had a GREAT time. A family friend made the cute wedding cake with a bride & groom duckie cake top. Here are a few teaser shots from their wedding more will follow on their sneak peek on facebook.

Justin & Shelby tie the knot!

I met Justin & Shelby earlier this year when we did their e-session at Delnor-Wiggins Pass State Park in Naples, FL. I had know Justins parents Janet & Jay since high school and was so honored that they asked me to photograph their sons wedding this July. They were married at Lehigh Baptist Church in Lehigh Acres, Fl on July 17, 2010 and held their reception right ther at the church. They had a super cool beach themed wedding complete with a video of their engagement session set to Johnny & June by Heidi Newfield. Masons Bakery did a FAB job on the cake and it was tasty too! Shelby & Justin promise they will have a Glam beach photo shoot when they return from their homeymoon and get settled! You can view their sneak peek on my Facebook page. Here are a few of my favorites from their day....
