The Opera House

February 20, 2010

One of my favorite restaurants is The Great Outdoors in High Springs.  The building has a long history in the community, and was recently renovated and reopened in 2007.  The Opera House is an event space operated by the same owners as The Great OutdoorsThe Opera House was originally built in 1895 and has been restored to a modern reception/event/meeting place.

Don Cesar Wedding

Over the summer, I helped Mary Beth Tyson at one of her weddings at the Don Cesar in St. Pete.  It was a gorgeous (if not more than a little hot) Florida summer day.

Katelyn & Kyle

January 24, 2010

Katelyn & Kyle were married last summer at the beach in Port St. Joe.  Their ceremony was perfectly them, personal and sweet.  Their reception was held in the School of Fish Restaurant, just steps away from their ceremony.  It was perfect, relaxed and friendly yet very fun.

If Katelyn looks familiar, that’s because she’s Abigail’s sister.  :)

Abigail & Matt

January 24, 2010

In December – when it was still chilly, normal Florida December weather, not that crazy 20 degree stuff we had for a while there – I met Abigail & Matt at his family farm in Lake City.  We had a lot of fun driving around exploring the farm while I got to know them better, and make some pretty pictures.

Abigail, do you think this image below would make a gorgeous Canvas Wrap in your new house?  I do!

Click here to see their entire gallery and order prints (or canvas wraps ;).

Canvas Wraps

January 24, 2010

One of the products I offer are these wonderful – and sometimes little known – canvas wraps.  What are canvas wraps, you ask?  They are images printed on canvas, which is then stretched over a frame so that the image wraps around the sides.  And they are glorious!  I <3 gallery wraps.  :)

Here are some that Jodi ordered from her wedding.  She ordered three 12×24 canvas wraps and hung them together over her bed.  I love how they look.

So, if you’re wondering what to order when looking at your image gallery, consider canvas wraps – either one large wrap, or a series of smaller wraps. They are a great way to make an impact in any room.

Erin & Billy

If you visited the old blog last spring, you’ve seen Erin & Billy.  But they had to make an appearance here on the new blog.  I loved the love between them.

Miranda & AJ

January 5, 2010

Now I’ll do my best to catch up on all that happened over the summer and into the fall while my blog was down.  Prior to this, please see my old blog for old posts.

One of the weddings during that time was Miranda & AJ.  They were married over the summer at an amazing plantation house here in north Florida.
