Mr. and Mrs. Woodward's Christmas Wedding

I was born an artist, a female and a Virgo...which have to be some of the most self-deprecating traits imaginable.  Being an artist can be difficult, especially when you feel like your expressing yourself and worried others just won't "get it".  I'm lucky to have the most supportive, yet honest husband in the world.  When I get down on my work and worry it's just not perfect enough he sets me straight.  We have worked very hard over the last 5 years to be where we are in our lives as husband and wife and small business owners.  Wedding photography can be tricky.  We don't have the time to "go back" and try again.  We've got to work fast, creatively and be kind.

Yesterday we had the pleasure of photographing Miss Steinbeck...ha ha, that is what our nephews call her.  She was the 4th grade teacher to one of our nephews.  She googled us and realized our connection before we did.  To us, she is Catherine, a client and now a friend.  She married the love of her life, Shaun at the I.W. Phillips House in Downtown Orlando.  The weather was chilly but the sun was bright...and yesterday's wedding was one that it each time the shutter snapped, the pictures became more and more beautiful.  Rev. Rick Lackore (Sensational Ceremonies) officiated a memorable service and married the two beneath the covered porch of the house.  Shaun made their cake topper to be as personal as possible, depicting a beautiful red-haired bride and an old-fashioned diver (Shaun is a commercial diver).  Arthur's provided an outstanding atmosphere including a gourmet smores bar to help combat the 40 degree temps.  Bobby with Platinum DJ Entertainment and Lighting provided the soundtrack to their love story (and some great wireless uplighting in the courtyard).  We wish Miss Steinbeck, oh...Mrs. WOODWARD and Shaun a lifetime of happiness, love and laughs!
