Andrew and Alicia’s wedding day was the perfect mix of traditional elegance and crazy fun. After a formal service in an 1800s catholic church, the newlyweds cut loose and were transported by party bus to various portrait locations around Mark Twain Lake. A few beers and a giant, brightly colored parachute made for fun portraits.

Jonathan and Amey are currently galavanting around Europe on their honeymoon, making me extremely jealous with their Facebook updates!
This couple is constantly laughing together and their wedding day (of course!) was no exception. I’m certain Amey’s face hurt from smiling so much

The wedding was perfect– a 60% chance of rain, turned into a cloudless sky right before their outside ceremony at the Front Street Civic Center in Melbourne, Florida. A team of amazing wedding vendors worked tirelessly to make Amey and Jonathan’s wedding day as special as possible.

GO ESCAPE to Playalinda Beach {travel magazine photography}

amanda — Mon, 11 Jun 2012 11:50:57 +0000

As with anyone bitten by the travel bug, my husband and I have a ridiculously long list of places we ~~hope to~~ will eventually visit. Every time we check off a destination, we add at least three more. Somehow though, we often manage to overlook the beauty in places nearest to us.

I was recently commissioned by GO ESCAPE travel magazine to photograph Playalinda Beach in Titusville, Florida for the cover and feature as one of America’s “Secret Beaches.” When I received a copy of the magazine (after I gawked at the cover), I immediately started flipping through the pages and saying to my husband things like, “Oooh, what about kayaking with belugas? Add Manitoba to our list!” and “Do we know anyone in Utah?? Look at this photo!” There were so many great travel pieces with loads of information, travel tips, first-person travel stories and stunning imagery. Our ‘list’ grew even more..

Then I had this realization: Travel editors chose our county to highlight as a cover-worthy destination. The “secluded sun spot” featured is less than an hour from our house and I hadn’t been there in a year. Shame on me. Why drive 45 minutes, when I can drive 10 minutes to the beach? Brevard County residents are spoiled by so many great beaches.

But there’s something special about the Canaveral National Seashore with its pristine dunes, remarkably blue ocean and lack of condos, hotels and general commercialism. Its protected landscape is peaceful and beautiful. I’m glad travel editors decided to share our ‘secret’ beach with their readers. And I am thankful for the reminder as well.

GO ESCAPE hits newsstands June 15.
