I absolutely love when I get to shoot a session with a concept or theme. Daryl and John have the greatest idea ever for their wedding invitation design! I don’t want to spoil the surprise but I feel that I need to preface this shoot by saying that Daryl and John are book lovers and have decided to incorporate their love for books as one of the elements in their wedding. The invitation theme is boy-meets-girl, boy falls in love with girl and the rest is history. Obviously, they have a much better plan to execute this than what I’ve written and I can’t wait to see it!
I should also mention that they share an affinity for art which is why we chose to shoot part of their session in the Design District in Miami. They did a great job scouting specific locations to help tell their story.
On a side note, despite the freezing cold (35º that morning!!) I thoroughly enjoyed spending my morning with two of the most loving people I’ve ever met! Daryl and John, we can’t wait for your wedding in May!!!















I assume that these next few will be incorporated in the invitation design.


I love love love this one! It makes me giggle every time I look at it. :)


This was such a cute idea too!

- Hi I'm Daryl's mom. These pictures are really exceptionally beautiful. You captured their personality and the emotions. They look so happy and playful. I agree with Aurora, they look so natural and unpretencious (meaning weird to all teenagers). That's what makes the photographs very interesting. Love the colors too!!! Very creative!!!
