never again...

Never again will I take for granted my good health on a wedding day! Long story short, I arrive to Fort Myers, Florida and 24 hours before I was to shoot the wedding, I end up in the ER trying to recover from what had to have been food poisoning. It was rough. I thought I might die (and I'm not even being dramatic...well maybe a little:).

I literally think I experienced a miracle in that my ER doctor's wife is a photographer also and knowing just how important it was for me to get back to 100%, he hooked me up with some extra IV fluids and meds:) I'd like to give a little shout out to Dr. Keith Lafferty...thank you for your good care (Tami and Corey thank you as well)! And another heartfelt thank you to my talented second shooter (and good friend) Amy Guerreri, who not only took care of me during some rough moments, but also pulled through and shot some fantastic moments. Amy G- you earned some serious treasures in heaven:)

All that to say, the wedding day was absolutely beautiful in every sense. Tami and Corey's excitement for the day was intoxicating, as was the scenery we were shooting in. The images aren't completely done, but here's a sneak peak of their day...

deep breath...






i love this shot of Tami with our good friend (and my second shooter) amy...so fun to be photographing a friend with a friend:)

corey's expression was priceless upon seeing his "muse" as he called her...
