This session was so much fun!  We started at a golf course– got some images of them “golfing” of course but I loved the romantic ones in their awesome golf outfits.

One thing I LOVE about engagement sessions is the opportunity for couples to do locations/concepts unique to them as a couple.  Of course above they chose the golf course that they played at, and then they wanted to show their collegiate side as well.  Seminole vs. Gator at a local park below (although they couldn’t pull off looking angry like I wanted, haha):

Then we rounded off the session with a sexy dress and some shooting downtown.  :)

Hope everyone is enjoying these e-sessions as they come rolling into the blog!

This is another one that started with the entire family with their gorgeous (& stubborn) golden retriever.

Michelle and Mundi are having a destination wedding this summer and although they aren’t allowed to bring me, we set up an engagement session… in two parts.  I was too busy to do the full session before (a lot like now, haha).  See Part I here!

Part II they had a great idea to start at a library, and then we went on to the downtown area.

We now return to our regularly scheduled e-session palooza images.  I actually put these on Facebook like two weeks ago but forgot to here!

We started off at their home so we could get some images with their pups.  I LOVE when people choose to include their full family and to shoot with their dogs.  :)

Not that the pups are often cooperative…

Next we headed to the stadium, as many of my diehard gator couples do.  :)

Now the real treat and highlight of the day… another Springs session!  This time we chose to go to Ginnie Springs for a more natural look with the awesome trees and environment.

I have to share a couple silly ones in between.  First, we were cracking up at the divers as they came up spitting and snorting up water.  And they reminded us of terrifying sharks.

Palooza-17

And this shows how brave they are ;)

Back to the images!  This is one of my FAVORITES from the day:

www.gainesvilleweddingvendors.com has launched!

The site is a brainchild of Enrique of Amantez Designs and his wife Leigh of Amantez Photography in order to have a resource that brides can use to see all of the local Gainesville vendors together in one place in a very simple to use format.  To celebrate the launch and get the information out to all the wedding vendors, they hosted an awesome party at Haile Plantation Golf and Country Club.

GIVEAWAY ALERT: READ THIS!!!

I feel like these images are a sort of “spot the wedding vendor celebrity!” so for fun I’m offering a $10 iTunes Gift Certificate to the first NON-INDUSTRY person who can name 8 of the vendors (5 seemed too easy, 10 too hard)!  Just leave a comment with the number of the photo and the name of the wedding vendor(s) you recognize in it.  These need to be 8 different people, not the same ones repeated.  ;)  That easy!

Hint: a lot of vendors have portraits on their websites so skimming sites to see what people look like could be very helpful, hehe.

VENDORS:  Feel free to use any of these images for your own blog and promotion of the new site!

Edit: Opps, forgot this image but couldn’t sneak it in since someone had already tried for the GiveAway.  ”Someone” speaking (really, the speaking ones are so easy it’s almost silly!):
