autumn & mike | fort myers beach wedding | pittsburgh and destination wedding photographer

Where do I begin?! Autumn & Mike had such a beautiful ceremony, I’ve still got red eyes from all the tears shed behind my camera. My good friend Chrissy of Weddings by Sal and Bella traveled with me to photograph this sweet couple and the joining of their families – we had such a great time! Autumn’s 5-year-old son, Grant, walked her down the aisle, and I don’t think there was a dry eye in all of Florida when these two not only said their self-written vows to one another, but to each other’s children, also. What a beautiful thing to witness – I’m seriously still so emotional when I look at these images. <3 We took a few quick family portraits at this tree where they take a yearly vacation photo, and some on the beach before heading to the reception for dinner and dancing!We couldn’t resist snagging a few photos of the couple, too, but mostly this just made me ultra excited for our next-day session on the beach the following evening!I was so excited to get these two out for some extended portrait time! We had so much fun, and I’m absolutely in love with some of these photos of them in the ocean!!
Every time I showed Autumn the back of my camera, she would shout “I WANT TO KISS YOUR FACE!” I love this photo she requested we take – I seriously adore this lady. Here are a few more “behind the scenes” photos of us with these two – so fun!Why not jump in the hotel pool to rinse off some of that sand and salt?! Perfect way to end this incredible weekend!

Congratulations to the newlyweds, and your sweet kiddos. We wish you a lifetime of happiness and a home filled so much with love that it’s bursting at the seams – you deserve it! <3
