We met Michelle at The Central Florida Wedding Association Bridal Market last year. She was still early in her planning, but she had a lot of great ideas and a vision of what she wanted her wedding day to look like. While she was painting the picture of her big day, we just knew that we would love to work with her and Michael.

When Michelle reached out to us after the show to meet, needless to say, we were really excited! We had met Michelle at the show, but had yet to meet her fiancé, Michael. We got to sit down at a Panera Bread (one of our favorite places to meet with our couples) and hear all about Michelle and Michael’s relationship and more about their wedding plans.

We scheduled their photos at Lake Runnymeade. We love this location! We photograph there often, but we always find new places and none of our photos are ever the same! Michelle and Michael both arrived dressed beautifully for their session. Michelle had a beautiful floral dress on that had some fun ruffles to it. Michael wore a suit with a great shirt that would look formal and great with the suit jacket on, but also look casual and fun without the suit jacket. This really helps to make pictures more dynamic as it looks like we did an outfit change, and you get both formal and fun pictures!

Michelle was telling us about the blog that she runs during our initial meeting. She is an avid reader, and books are a passion of hers. Think Belle’s library from Beauty and the Beast. She asked if she could bring a couple books and if we could incorporate them into the photos with her and Michael. We LOVED the idea and of course said yes! We think the pictures came out great. Take a look below and tell us what you think.
