Ryan & Lori- Fort Myers Country Club

It was obvious from the first time I met Ryan & Lori how in love they are with each other.  They had the most perfect day for their wedding in Fort Myers, FL.  It was a fun-filled evening with a lot of laughs and love.  Congratulations to a beautiful couple.

FLORIDA 36th State to Legalize Gay Marraige

Last year I had the honor of photographing two gay marriages, Jenna & Betsy and Manny & Mo.  I absolutely loved photographing both of these weddings!  Of course, the fact that all four of these ladies are beautiful, fun, and down to earth is what made the whole experience a pleasure. 

It is crazy to think that just over 10 years ago neither of these two couples could have exercised this civil right, a right that is so deeply rooted in our hearts and identity.  Thankfully, progressive states have taken the lead and others are following (FL legalized gay marriage yesterday - Jan 6th, 2015, becoming the 36th state).

I hope to have the honor of photographing several more gay marriages in 2015, maybe even one in FLA during its inaugural legal year.
