Carla and Shayne are married!

I had the privilege of capturing this beautiful couple. They went through a lot to get married - the day of the planned wedding day the bride was in the hospital having emergency surgery! But love prevailed, she recovered and they married soon after. Since their original wedding plans flew out the window, they didn't have a chance to capture the day in photos. So when they came to visit her sister on their adjusted honeymoon, we spent some time at Bella Collina in Montverde together. You can really tell how much they love each other!

The bride is a florist, so she designed and created her bouquet herself!




























They had a surprise wedding shower at the end of our session thrown by her sister!
