The big day is approaching, we are just a couple of days before Marissa and Mike’s big day!

The big day is approaching! We are just a couple of days away from Marissa and Mike’s wedding day! Days before the wedding are almost always a mixture of emotions, excitement as you begin a new life together, as well wanting to have everything go as perfect as possible. All that stress will fade away once they celebrate with their loved ones, gathered together on their special day.

Today I wanted to share these beautiful photos again, as a reminder of the happiness and love and to take a time to breathe in between. A time to remember the joy that is coming ahead. Planning your wedding during this season will be full of joy, yet can be overwhelming, especially with the 2020 being the year that it is!

Marissa and Mike will be having a very intimate ceremony with their loved ones. They will exchange their vows and will say yes to forever! I can not wait to be there to meet the family and photograph their beautiful day💗

PETERSON PARK, LAKELAND PROPOSAL PHOTOS | Carography Studios | Becca + Jonah

I would love to share the beautiful photos from Rebecca and Jonah proposal from last week! Jo contacted me a few weeks ago and told me he was going to propose to his sweetheart, then the planning started! I got together with my sweet friend and calligrapher artist Josefina from Love Offering and told her I wanted to create something very special for them, my Mom created and designed Becca's bouquet!

The big day arrived and I met Jo at the park. Jo asked a mutual friend to make up a photography project.  She asked Becca if there was a park around town that Becca liked.  Becca suggested Peterson Park because it has become a very special place for her and Jo where they have celebrated their anniversaries. Jo told her earlier that day that he wanted to take her out on a date.  This was his perfect excuse to get her dressed up!
 

Becca arrived at the park, completely unaware. I was hanging around with Mom and we were hiding from Becca so she would not see me with my big camera! It would have ruined his surprise! Jo and Becca met and they started talking.

Becca was very surprised yet still completely unaware of Jo's intentions. He began talking with her about their relationship and how God has brought them closer together.  At the perfect time, he got down on one knee, and he asked her to marry him and spend the rest of her life with him!  Of course, she said YES, and I was there able to capture this incredible moment between this beautiful couple. 

“I am so in love with this woman. You have my whole heart Becca and I promise forever to you. Scott is going to look so good on you!”

“Last night, in the park that has become so important to us, Jo asked me to marry him. It was the most romantic moment and I couldn’t stop crying happy tears. Of course, I said yes to spend forever with this amazing man! He has shown me what true kindness looks like and encourages me to follow after Jesus every day. I can’t wait to share many more memories with you gorgeous!”

— Rebecca

“My now fiancé hired Carolina to photograph the proposal! She did such a wonderful job with the mini session afterwards and was the sweetest. The photos are beautiful and are even better than what I had imagined. She does fantastic work and is very professional while doing so. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone sweet, personable, and who is determined to make your day memorialized in beautiful photographs”

— Rebecca

“Carolina did a wonderful job and I am so thankful I chose her. I was so worried that a photographer wouldn’t take into consideration what I wanted to be portrayed or my ideas but she went above and beyond. Carolina made sure I was always comfortable and she knew exactly how to make my proposal perfect. It was perfect and she went above and beyond what I expected. Carolina made sure to bring a beautiful bouquet for my fiancé, a hand painted canvas, as well as other props for pictures I didn’t even expect. She truly enhanced our experience and I am so thankful I chose her. I wish I could give her more stars because 5 is certainly not enough.”

Becca and Jo, Congratulations on your engagement! You make a wonderful couple. Wishing that this be just the start of a long and wonderful journey!

1 Corinthians 13:13 - And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Chelsea and Paul engagement photos are on the blog! They came from Indiana for their engagement photos and visit vendors for their wedding next month in October! We had a great time, lots of smiles around as you can see. I am so glad they enjoyed their session, this was time not only to meet them in person before their big day but also for them to enjoy each other presence. I know wedding planning can be stressful sometimes and busy but you have to remember that at end of the day, it is just you two and the memories you create with your loved ones.

They were so into each other and just having fun, spending time together, this engagement session is more than just taking photos together, it is quality time with each other, the good times, the experience I want you to remember for years to come! 

Chelsea and Paul thank you so much for meeting with us! 

I cant wait to photograph their wedding and meet their favorite people next month at the Sunset by Gulf Drive Cafe in Bradenton Beach, FL
