Downtown St Petersburg Engagement - Stephanie & Brad
Downtown St Petersburg has a charm that is very hard to explain. It is no surprise that it has become a great spot for strolling on a Sunday afternoon or a great place to eat.

Unicorn 30th Smash Cake - Adriana Turns 30!
Turning 30? This Unicorn 30th Smash cake would make turning 30 the best birthday yet! I’ve been watching the trend go, women taking their birthdays back, having fun with it instead of dwelling on the number. Adrians’s Unicorn 30th Smash Cake was all of that and more.

Before setting up any details for an engagement session, I always ask my couples to think of their favorite places, the things they love to do together or anything that they hold dear. I want their engagement session to reflect them, their love, a snapshot of their relationship. But this time, it was Adriana who jumped in and knew exactly what she wanted: a travel themed engagement.

Downtown Decatur Backyard Wedding - Goñi + David
Goñi and David’s Downtown Decatur Backyard Wedding was just what my heart needed. From using the backyard of a beautiful colonial house as the venue (home two very good friends, Bill & Lee), to the Mason jars filled with fresh flowers (some bought and some from the garden!), the geeky boutonnieres, the bow ties, the picnic tables… I could keep going! This wedding was full of love and a nice fall breeze.
