When I first met Johanna for our consultation, all the details and plans for this wedding was so overwhelming. I got so excited since then, that I literally lived and relived her wedding three times (or more). First, it was the dreams I had at the night of this event. Second, it was the actual event. Third, it was through the photographs I captured. Paul and Johanna are such an amazing couple. They are deeply in love and one of the kindest couples out there. If you know the two of them, you know that it is true. One of her guests said during the speeches, "if I would define beauty, I would say it is what Johanna is". That is so true. Anyone who meets her is easily captivated to her.  It's always a plus to have such an amazing couple. Thank you for allowing me and for trusting me to capture your day! Below are a few of my favorites. Enjoy!!

2.5 years ago my husband and I got married and had our reception here. It's one of my favorite spots, and I am so stoked to be behind the camera with this one. Epping Forest is probably one of the most picturesque locations to have a wedding. Trust this photographer, since she chose this as part of her big day, too!

I'd say Florida has been very good to me. Ponte Vedra's Crosswater Hall is such a gorgeous place, and Andre and Abby tied the knot with some excellent details.

First let me start off with their wedding planners Megan Long and Marian Eichholz of Paragon Planning ( http://www.paragon-planning.com)-- already weeks before the event they were checking in with me and asked if I had any unanswered questions. They were friendly, detailed, and very professional. If you are looking for a wedding planner-- make sure to check them out.

The flowers were already there way before the ceremony. Thank you Susan Kass and Amy ( http://www.afantasyinflowers.com). I must also applaud the make-up artists and hair stylist of Fifth Avenue Mobile ( http://www.fifthavenuehair.com) and Teresa Nguyen who owns To The Nines (make-up for girls and mother). They were ahead of schedule, and if you're a wedding photographer, you'll know how important being on time is. They did an excellent job--just see the photos for yourself. Along our sides, we worked with Kimberly and Kyle. They're very friendly, communicative, and easy to work with. Thank you Kyle for lifting up that flash when I was too short to put it in place! Among these vendors, the food was excellent, cake gorgeous, and dresses to die for! And I must not forget, thank you Miguel for second shooting with me-- you did great catching the groom's expression during the first look, and then again when the bride walked down the aisle. Moments like that are priceless, and you captured it well!

Job well done, and congratulations Abby and Andre! We loved being there on your big day.

Robert and Jennifer got married in Fayetteville NC at the Main Post Chapel with their reception at the Anderson Creek Club in Spring Lake. They are probably one of the kindest couples I’ve met— they are down to earth, up for anything, and really easy going. The reception was definitely a blast. Every was having so much fun despite the southern summer heat. I bet everyone could’ve danced the night away. I hope you all enjoy the photos. For your wedding or event, please contact me at angelitaphoto@gmail.com or 904-401-7605

John and Kristine both met in school. Kristine came in as a new teacher and John was the school coach. When Kristine taught at the school, she already knew that she'd marry that hot soccer coach that all young female teachers were drooling over.

Congratulations to you two lovebirds!

Ethan proposed to Brittany while they were running, which is something they always do together. I knew I would have fun, because this couple was so kind and open to suggestions-- even running down the street.

Enjoy their photos!

Rex and Jennifer both have families that I really admire. They were so kind, and helped the bride and groom get ready for this big day. Jennifer's dad is a blacksmith who created the metal flowers as part of her bouquet and reception centerpieces, and her mom created the little bird clay figures.

Jessica and Dixon really spiced this session up with lots of props. I love it when my clients come excited, and with a big smile on their faces. Love was definitely floating in the air with this session. Enjoy!
