Enjoy!

Beautiful shades of hot pink were the inspiration for Jennifer’s wedding day dreams.

This dress stopped many a woman in her tracks and that was before she even had it on!

The beading and detail was absolutely exquisite.

Jennifer was an absolute vision of loveliness.

Her moment to shine!

Mom, beautiful daughters and bridesmaids looked on overcome with emotion at the site of the about to be Mrs. Perez walking doing the aisle.

Congratulations Jennifer + Justin!!!

We pray the love of your family and friends surrounds and supports you giving your love wings to fly in the years to come!

 Much love, Kate + Kris

Sometimes the little details make all the difference.

Anthony has such a warm heart as evidenced by the welcoming hug above and the note that made his bride cry below.

A beautiful bride and her mother.  The apple does not fall far from the tree.

Love these shoes.

These bridesmaids brought their commitment to a whole new level.  And they are beautiful! More to come on that one ; )

What a handsome group of guys.

Stunning. Simply stunning.

The “first moment”.  Anthony and Stephanie did not want to see each other before the ceremony but still wanted to have a moment to connect. Oh the anticipation.

Doesn’t the flower girl look like a little princess?

Daddy and his little girl, all grown up.

As Anthony watched his bride walk down the aisle you could feel the emotion in the room.  Their connection palpable.

A tender moment.

And we have one happy bride and groom!

 Presenting Mrs. Koscielecki

Stephanie new how to rock her dress.  It perfectly reflected her personality.

After the ceremony and family pictures we stole the newlyweds away for some intimate moments in front of our camera.

It is so beautiful how true love makes a person glow from the inside! Stephanie was radiant as a bride should be.

After the reception we snuck back outside to play in the beautiful light as the sun was setting.  Here are the images from those moments.

With Stephanie being such a talented dancer she has grace and poise whenever she moves.

And now for the reception.

First dance as husband and wife.

After the first dance these ladies rapped Anthony and Stephanie’s love story to the song “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air”. EVERYONE was cracking up.  Best maid-of-honor speech…EVER!

The dance floor was hot all night long.

At the very end of the night, Anthony pulled his bride off to a corner where they danced the night away, completely lost in their love for one another.

Off to the honeymoon.  Oh what a night.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Koscielecki!!! Thank you for letting us celebrate your day with you and our camera’s.

It will only get better as your love ripens with age.

The challenge with “Sneak Peek” posts like this is not in the being sneaky but rather the peek part.  It was so hard not to share 30 of our favorite images with you! We hope you enjoy this little peek and check back soon to hear the rest of Lisette + Eric’s beautiful love story.

Doesn’t Lisette look stunning.  She glowed the entire day with the radiance of true love.

Love the colors on these flowers! They really represented Lisette’s personality with just the right flare.

As the took their vows, you would have thought no one else was in the room the way these two got lost in each other’s eyes.

Congratulations to the Newlyweds!

We love you!

Kate + Kris

Enjoy! More to come soon ; )

What a beautiful couple.  Stephanie made an absolutely stunning bride!

Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Koscielecki!

Much love–Kate + Kris

 These first few images do not showcase the classic glamour we just referenced.  Yes, that really is a tattoo needle.  We had some seriously committed groomsmen here.   This was the first time we’ve ever started a wedding day with photographing groomsmen all getting matching tattoos.  These committed guys met bright and early and one by one got their spark plug tattoo in a show of solidarity.   Not quite as dramatic or painful, the ladies opted for a more traditional approach to kick-off their big day with manicures and pedicures.  As morning turned to afternoon all the details from months of planning fell into place and Bri and Cory’s love story reached a new climax, Casa Feliz style.  We hope you enjoy these pictures of their very special day full of love, hope and endless possibility.

This is what committed groomsmen look like.

And now for that glamour we were talking about…

 A beautiful vibrant bold classic red was a theme throughout the wedding.

This was THE DRESS that completely encapsulated Bri’s amazing personality. Isn’t it beautiful? Love the lavishly textured style.

 Sometimes it’s the little things that say so much about a wedding.

Those eyes….those lips…..Can you say va-va-voom!

Cory was a groom who could not wait to just be with his bride.

Everyone was excited to see the beautiful bride as she sashayed down the stairs to her debut outside.

It was a beautiful day for a wedding to be shared with close family and friends unlike what the weatherman forecasted.

Bri was all aglow with beauty and grace as her and Cory committed to love one another in front of friends and family.

Aren’t they stunning?

Love how Bri’s playful side is showcased in this picture.

If you look closely on her bouquet you will see an absolutely exquisite pin that was Bri’s something borrowed and blue.

And now for some reception details…

Amazing cupcakes and a fun candy bar delighted all the guests.

Lots of great times were had by guests as they danced the night away.

 The night ended beautifully. And we can’t help but think it is a sign of good things to come that Kris and Bri both have the same anniversary now. Wishing you the best Bri and Cory.  So delighted that love found its way to your hearts.  Just remember, the best is yet to come!
Much love, Kate + Kris

We enjoyed working with Arthur’s Catering and Beauti by Ashley at this wedding.

To help decorate my dessert table, I ran to our local craft store – Joann Fabrics – and picked up medium sized cardboard letters (@ about $2 per letter) & decided to glam them up a bit so that they would catch the soft market lights & christmas lights we used the table.

Pin It

Active Craft Time: About 50 minutes

Supplied Needed:

6 Cardboard Letters : to spell “SWEETS”

1 can of General Purpose Spray Adhesive

1 jar of Martha Stewart Glitter (Any glitter will do – for color selection, I chose Martha Stewart)

1 jar pf Martha Stewart Tinsel Glitter (choose a complimentary color)

Drop cloth or cart sheet (I use an old canvas curtain)

optional: Plastic trash bag or wax paper (to keep the glue away from your curtain)

Instructions:

1. Find an area with lots of fresh air – outside is great for this :)

2. Lay out your first letter on the drop cloth (or throw a plastic bag over the cloth to protect from the glue & to help save glitter)

3. Spray evenly with adhesive about 8-12″ from the surface of your letter

4. Shake glitter from about the same height evenly across the surface of entire letter. Allow each letter to sit flat for a few minutes after glitter has been applied.

5. Repeat steps 3 & 4 until glitter appears even and covers the cardboard to your taste.

6. Use Tinsel glitter to thicken & add dimension. Very lightly spray adhesive over existing glitter & shake out as much tinsel glitter as needed to evenly cover the surface.

7. Allow the letters to dry overnight. Once dry, they can be carefully packed away to await your wedding day!

Here are some photos I took while creating this simple do-it-yourself project the first time:

  ^ A tiny supply list made for an inexpensive & quick DIY wedding project     ^ (left) Medium card board letters & (right) after two layers of glitter, before adding tinsel.

  I chose Bronze as my base because we stuck to neutral and blush tones throughout our wedding, then added a little glam with a complimentary jar of bright Kunzite tinsel glitter.  

   ^ Before adding any tinsel glitter…  

  ^ After a layer of  tinsel glitter was added  

  ^ An almost finished set of “SWEET” glittery letters

Happy Crafting!

Much Love,

Kate

Nestled in the breathtaking Casa Feliz Historic Home, Brianne and Cory chose one of the most intricately detailed & breathtaking locations in the Central Florida area for their February wedding.

The home has nooks & crannies to boot – including a breathtaking spiral staircase, where we photographed her stunning dress & bouquet.

You might remember these two lovebirds from their funky & fun beach engagement session back in April.

Kate’s view above ^ ….

And Kris’ view ^ ;)

Brianne is possibly the sweetest girl you will ever meet and her adorable laugh will light up any room.

Cory has certainly been charmed…

Stay tuned for more adorable details.

Much love,

Kate + Kris

And feel so happy that they found each other.

There love story is very unique in that a friendly card game had a wager on it that ended up going in Eric’s favor and resulted in a date to Universal Studios.  We’re not certain that Lisette lost or if she let Eric win but either way what was supposed to happen did and these two fell deep hard and fast in to love.  Needless to say it was both of their last first dates.

We went to the beautiful Maitland Arts Center and let the stone artistry serve as a beautiful backdrop for their love story.

Eric knows how to make his woman swoon and smile.

Since the infamous card game led to love we thought capturing the King and Queen together would be fun.

Eric definitely has stolen his love’s heart.

This probably is a good time to mention that Eric admitted Lisette generally wins in most games.

Just like the Jack Johnson song, these two are “better together.”

If you look closely Lisette and Eric have tattoos that in Hebrew read “I am his” “And he is mine”.

As part of their wedding, Lisette and Eric are doing a Wine Ceremony.  We were honored to design a label for the special occasion.

The last place that we needed to go for this special afternoon was Jeremiah’s Italian Ice.  You would never know by looking them that these two have a deep love for Jeremiah’s.

Many a special date night has happened here.

Lisette and Eric it is with great expectation that we are looking forward to April 28th.

Thank you for sharing your love story with us.  We hope it inspires others the way it has us.

Much love, Kate + Kris

To view more pictures from their day, watch our slideshow here:

Below you will see a few pictures from Lisette + Eric’s handcrafted engagement session in beautiful Maitland.  They will leave you wanting more.  And the good news there is more, lots more.  (Hence the holding out)  Lisette and Eric have a beautiful love story and we can’t wait to share it with you….in their full blog post next week.  For now this sneak peek teaser will just have to do.

Much love,

Kate + Kris

The Orlando Science Center is a great venue if you are looking for something out of the ordinary.
Stephanie + Bryce are anything but ordinary so this was fitting for them.  And in case you didn’t already know, they are high-school sweethearts who met in Chemistry class so sticking with the science theme was appropriate.

Little touches of winter surfaced throughout the evening.

Numerous well wishers signed the pages of their engagement guest book.

All night long Stephanie looked stunning, radiating with love from deep inside.

Love and a little rock-n-roll.  These girls know how to have some fun.

Sparkly.

Hello gentlemen.

Jillian the beautiful  flower girl was very helpful throughout the night and no doubt will grow up to be a beautiful bride like Stephanie one day.

As the ceremony started, Susan, Stephanie’s mother walked down the aisle with joy in her heart.  You could feel the connection between these two beautiful women all night long.

It was time, at last.  Bryce’s bride made her entrance at the perfect time.  After 7 1/2 years together it was truly the right moment.

If you hang out with Stephanie and Bryce for more than 2 minutes they will have you smiling and laughing.   The ceremony was heartfelt and had some great moments that left everyone smiling.

 Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Robinson!

This is one happy bride.  The colors in the skyline made for a beautiful backdrop.

This group cleans up pretty nice wouldn’t you say?

Even though Stephanie’s father was not able to be physically present at her wedding his presence was still felt.  Her tattoo on her left shoulder proudly displays her heart for him.

Dancing went on for hours as everyone had a great time despite the cold.

First time ever we’ve had a groom steal our camera and take our picture during the reception.   Perhaps a future assistant photographer?

These two are in l.o.v.e.

When Kate and I think of Disney from now on Stephanie and Bryce will come to mind.  Be encouraged, dreams really do come true.

Mr. and Mrs. Robinson our greatest wish for the two of you is that through the years your love for each other will so deepen and grow, that years from now you will look back on this day, your wedding day, as the day you loved each other the least.

Much love, Kate + Kris
