Amy & Dan Hollywood ~ Destination Wedding - Captiva / Sanibel Island

Last weekend on Saturday, April 17, 2010 I had the pleasure of photographing my good friend Amy's wedding. The fact that it was in Florida was just the cherry on top of being able to be there for her. We were like sisters growing up and have gone through important milestones together and I was so happy to play such an important role in this milestone.

Amy and Dan had a boat wedding and reception aboard the Lady Chadwick. The guest list was small and intimate. Everyone was so friendly and they were such a fun group of friends and family that helped Amy and Dan celebrate their new live together.

We started off the day by taking pictures on the grounds of the South Seas Island Resort on Captiva Island. I feel in love with the island and could see why Amy and Dan choose this location. Small shops, people biking, and a slower pace created the perfect enviroment.

These are Amy's adorable boys Chase and Collin.









Thank you for allowing me to be part of this important day! Welcome to the family Dan! I wish for the both of you a long life filled with lots of love and joy.

Love you.
Amber

Sarah & Ravi ~ Engagement Session

Last weekend I met up with an old high school friend Sarah and her fiance Ravi. The location was at Sarah's parents farm, and the plan was to use the old barn. As I was packing up my gear the rain was pouring down and it wasn't looking good for a photo session. Since Sarah and Ravi live in Chicago we decided to go ahead and hope for the best....and I am SO glad we did. By the time I got there the rain had stopped but it was perfectly overcast. And, the log pile out back never looked so good. :)

Every engagement shoot I do is wonderful for different reasons, and this one was no exception. Sarah & Ravi have been together awhile and it shows. It's in the way they are comfortable with each other, love each other, and can just be goofy with each other.



I am so happy for you both and wish you much love and happiness for many, many years to come. Thank you so much for letting me capture your love at this moment in time.







This picture is a little different...but fun!!




Take care and keep in touch! xoxo Amber

Happy Easter!!

Mira & Melea ~ newborn session

A few weeks ago I got to spend the afternoon with these precious little twins. I was amazed that I got a few of them together, because most of the time they were not too happy to be in such close proximity. After nine months of togetherness, they wanted their own space. Seija thank you for patiently waiting for this sneak peek!!
