Josh is so sweet and tender with Jasmine, we noticed he always made sure his bride had what she needed and would go above and beyond to make her smile, and boy is her smile contagious. They had an intimate wedding at the Alachua Woman’s club. The venue has beautiful arches with stone features and beautiful […]
Josh & Jasmine decided on the Historic Thomas Center for their engagement session. I absolutely love this venue and what was once a private residence and hotel is now an amazing events center for the community and surrounding areas of Gainesville, Florida. The greens and flowers on the front lawn in December was perfect. The […]
These two were not messing around for their engagement session they knew the vibe they wanted for their photos and choose to do all, yes A-L-L their photos indoors, and they choose the perfect locations in downtown Jacksonville, Florida. We were able to create a film for them as well, so make sure you scroll […]
We always do our best to make a connection before our sessions and then after we usually grab a bite to eat or coffee, sometimes cocktail, immediately after! Let’s be real, we all work up an appetite during sessions, so nourishment is a must! We absolutely love hanging out with our couples because we consider […]
After months of brainstorming and technical research, you could definitely say we had been eagerly anticipating the Make My Day Wedding Expo! After all, it was only our second bridal expo since Black Tie & Co started in 2013. This year’s MMD expo was held at The Museum and Gardens in Jacksonville. This show appealed […]
Lesson number 501, never, EVER, turn your back on a golden retriever puppy! It was a split second blackout, and I found myself on my back staring at the blue sky, waiting for some sort of a pain to hit me. Laughter sent in as I realized little (not so small) pup Monster tackled me […]
If you are familiar at all with our work and have browsed photo galleries, then you know we absolutely adore black and white portraits. As soon as we met Jenni and Oscar for their engagement session they told us about the bar in the home that inspired their dapper looks. The theme was a modern […]
The weather was a little threatening…well let’s be real, the weather in Florida is bi-polar at best. That is already a challenge, add a Category 5 hurricane that’s the largest in modern history…well that is enough to make a wedding photographer cringe. Thankfully we weren’t expecting Hurricane Irma to make her debut until late Sunday […]
It’s difficult for me to not get emotional when I look back at Ashley & Micah’s wedding day. You see, their wedding is a perfect example of why I am honored to be each couple’s photographer. Capturing these photos to last generations to come. To keep it short, Ashley’s father was terminally ill, he died […]
We are honored that Luke & Katalina, and their families, chose us to be apart of their wedding. It’s not everyday that you get to document friends tying the knot or dropping down on one knee! See their wedding photos here and proposal here. Congratulations Luke & Katalina. We can’t wait […]
Happy Thursday! I’m so excited to introduce to you, officially, my dear friend Kristen! If you know us personally or follow us on Instagram then she is a familiar face. She is sweet, positive, pug mom and boy do I get organization envy when I go to her home, seriously. This one’s for all you brides […]
One thing we love so much about Luke & Katalina’s is that on their wedding day they made a point of prioritizing the elements that were most important to the two of them, and kept an easy-breezy attitude towards the rest. Katalina wore her mothers dress, that was redesigned just enough to make it the romantic, […]
I’m so excited to finally share with you all this wedding. This sweet couple is celebrating there one year anniversary. When Chase called me about documenting their wedding the first impression he gave me was “Whoa!”. Why? For one its not common for the groom to reach out to vendors like photographers, at least its not for […]
Before the Proposal A couple of weeks before the proposal, Austin and I received a text from Luke. He asked if he could borrow a guitar, followed by a ring emoji and cat heart eyes emoji. Enough said. He needed a guitar so that he could play the song he wrote for Katalina, while he was […]
