This shoot with Anna Talley was amazing. We had so much fun, even though the mosquitos were out for gallons of blood for that day!!

Kristin and Billy were married on August 6, 2011 at The Heritage Center in Vero Beach, surrounded by their family and friends. I had the pleasure of photographing Kristin's sister, Megan's wedding a couple of years ago so it was such a pleasure to have the opportunity to capture Kristin's special day! The wedding and reception were designed by Crystal Stepanek and Nicole Dugan and florals were created by Lara's Theme. Thank you Kristin and Billy for allowing me to capture your beautiful day! Here are a few highlights from the day!

Tripson Family Portraits

2011-08-11T12:16:00.000-04:00

The Tripson Family Portraits were taken at "Waldo's Secret Garden" which is the family property of Robb's Parents. I love this place. I photographed a rehearsal dinner there a few months ago as well as engagement portraits and the property is so beautiful and unique. Will was such a fun sport to photograph. I told him I could sing and he asked if I was being sarcastic! SOOOO FUNNY! Yes, Will, I was being sarcastic. God did not bless me with a beautiful voice! Thank you Robb, Tiffany and Will for a great shoot!!!

Celebrating 5 years in business!!

2011-04-12T07:56:00.005-04:00

This past February marked the 5 year anniversary for A Misty Moment Photography. I have met so many amazing clients and vendors along the way and have had SO MUCH support from my family and friends that I had to celebrate with them! What better place to host a party then the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa! I gathered together some of my FAVORITE vendors and it turned out to be an AMAZING event! Panache Weddings and Events helped me plan it the entire way and they also set up a beautiful design in the room! They are so amazing at what they do. I am no good at decorating and told them a few ideas I had and they not only gave me exactly what I wanted, but FAR exceeded my expectations. I was in tears when I saw the room! They are simply the best!!!! Cassereccio provided an awesome topsy turvy, funky cake that was absolutely delicious! They also created the cute "M" cookies to give as favors! Ed Meade with Class Act Productions provided the music which the kids absolutely loved. (I think Cindy loved it more though! ;) haha!) Cindy Goetz did my makeup along with my daughter Emily's and Lindsay Naffziger did our hair! (Wow, did we look like Hollywood stars!! It was an awesome "Girls" afternoon! We haven't had time alone like that in a while! Thank you girls, we loved being pampered!) Jill with Pink Pelican Florist provided all of the centerpieces and florals. It was so easy working with her. I told her tall, white and black, and funky with feathers.. Man did she get me! I LOVED THEM! New Orleans Party Rentals donated the gorgeous stretch linens and overlays. (Thank you, Mom!!!) And of course a HUGE thank you to Lauren Melillo with The Vero Beach Hotel and Spa for providing us with the Shoreline room for the party! They are simply amazing there! And last but certainly not least, Thank you soooo much to my sweet assistants, Alex and Allison. They spent the entire night snapping pictures for me! I was actually able (for the first time in a long time) to actually enjoy an event and not pick up a camera! Thank you girls for capturing the night for me! Also, one more thanks... To everyone who came to celebrate with me and for the flowers and gifts (which were totally unexpected!). I owe my success to all of you, for being great clients, for being supportive friends and family and for helping spread the word about my business. I want to make sure to mention as well that if it weren't for my amazing husband and 2 incredible children and their love and support, I would not be where I am today! Thank you so much!
Here are a few photos from the night! Thank you again everyone!!!! :D

Vero Beach Engagement Session, Sarah and Kevin

2010-09-06T01:08:00.000-04:00

Sarah and Kevin are two of the coolest people I have ever met! I am so honored that they chose me to photograph their engagement session and wedding! They are so silly and SO IN LOVE! They are getting married in Vero Beach on April 30th of next year, which just so happens to be my anniversary as well!! :D We shot their engagement session at the beautiful "Waldo's Secret Garden". They will be having their rehearsal dinner there and just fell in love with the place. A special thank you to Lara with Lara's theme for setting everything up and a special thank you to Hildie Tripson for allowing us to use the property for the shoot! There were so many different spots that we could photograph at and the light really started fading fast. Even after 2 hours of shooting and 100 million mosquito bites, I could have shot for hours and hours. They were the perfect couple to shoot and we were at a perfect location! It was so much fun and I am looking forward to the wedding next year! :) Here are some of my favorites from the day. This is only a small portion of them and I had the hardest time choosing my favorites! Enjoy!

Meet Miley and her big cousin, Taylor! Miley is so sweet and has the most gorgeous eyes! Taylor is such a sweetie pie and you can really tell how much she loves her baby cousin! Miley wasn't really digging the whole photo shoot thing... or maybe it was me moving her around constantly? I am looking forward to shooting more pics of Miley in a few months when she can sit up and I can start making her giggle!! :D

Patton Family

2010-08-28T13:20:00.000-04:00

Meet the Patton Family. This family came to Sunny Vero Beach for vacation and called on me to shoot their family portraits on the beach. This is a very sweet family and the kids were so cute and fun... and FAST! I felt a connection with this family right away when Tricia told me that her brother and sister in law lost their daughter in March to SIDS. My heart broke for them. I told her I could relate because March is when my sister lost my nephew Aiden and we went through the same type of experience as them at the same time. The family wanted to incorporate McKinley into the portraits. It was a very emotional photo shoot for the family and me. It was very hard to not shed a few tears here and there for them. I could feel their pain the entire time. All I can say is that they are so lucky to have each other for strength and comfort. They are an amazing family and McKinley's beautiful spirit was there the whole time!

The White Family Portraits

2010-08-25T15:38:00.000-04:00

Meet the White Family! I have had the pleasure of knowing them for a few years now! My most favorite thing about my job is when I meet clients right after they are engaged and document their most important milestones year after year! That's the story here! I photographed Ashleigh and Wes's engagement photos and wedding photos. Now it was time to document their most exciting adventure yet, their new baby girl, Anna! I kept up with Wes and Ashleigh throughout her whole pregnancy on facebook. I cried many tears reading about all the scares she was going through. Because Anna was so small, they were very worried that there could be something wrong. After many prayers, Anna was born perfect! Some of the photos I saw of them together in the hospital made me ball!! I wish they lived closer so that I could have been there!! They are so special and dear to my heart and I am so glad to have them as friends forever! I am so glad I met you Anna can't wait to document your life as you get bigger! :D

The Allen Family

2010-08-21T00:21:00.000-04:00

I just love when I have the priviledge to follow a client through all of their important milestones in life and document it! This is the case with the Allen Family! I photographed their wedding, maternity portraits and now I had the pleasure to photograph their newest addition, Landon! He is soooooooo cute! I just love his big blue eyes! He was such a happy baby throughout the whole shoot! It was such a pleasure to work with the Allen Family again and I look forward to many more shoots to come! :D

The New Orleans Wedding of Debbie and Matt Murray

2010-08-10T13:59:00.001-04:00

Debbie and Matt are an incredible couple from Chicago. Debbie went to school in New Orleans and fell in love with the culture and beauty of the city. When her and Matt became engaged, she knew right away that she wanted a wedding in New Orleans and she wanted good music and good food! That they got!!! Debbie and Matt hired the services of my mom, Jayne, with Events by Jayne in New Orleans, to coordinate and design their wedding. She recommended me as a photographer and boy was I excited to fly to NOLA to photograph a wedding! It's my hometown and I love everything about the city! Jayne did an amazing job with making the traditional Mardi Gras colors of Purple, Green, and Gold, come together in such an eleagant way. She used vendors such as Dani Babineaux with Tapestry Linens for reception decor and floral designer, Lee Worrells for the amazing flowers! The wedding ceremony was held at the famous St Louis Cathedral in the center of Jackson Square. A brass band let them in a second line across the street to Pat O's on the River, located in Jax Brewery. The live band, Fleur de Lis, rocked the place out! The food was amazing, the people were amazing and I couldn't have asked for a better 1st wedding to shoot in New Orleans! A very special thank you to my friend, Tanya Sockol Harrington, for flying to New Orleans and photographing this amazing wedding with me!

Bridal Bootcamp Premiere

2010-07-11T20:51:00.001-04:00

Last month, I had the priviledge of being a part of a very exciting event! Steve Pfiester, from Longevity Fitness Club and Spa and Longevity Max Fitness, appears on VH1's Bridal Bootcamp as the Blue Team Trainer. Steve's wife, Bonnie Pfiester, approached me about doing something fun to cover the premiere event.We thought, how much fun would it be to have a gang of "paparazzi" there for the Red Carpet Premiere! I gathered a group of 12 local photographers, ranging from hobbiest to professionals, to cover this exciting event! The paparazzi all participated in a contest to get the "Best Shot". Although I spent a lot of time running around and making sure everyone was ok, I still managed to get a few shots in (and get in a few shots too :D) I had a blast and feel so lucky to have such amazing and fun opportunities!

Congratulations to Steve on the show!

A special thank you to so many other sponsors out there:

The Majestic

Costa d' Este

Ed Meade with Class Act Productions

Lara's Theme

Aurora Bridal Boutique

JJ's Hot Rayz Limousine

My gosh, I hope I didn't forget anyone!! :)

Here are some of my shots from the night!

Below are photos taken by the paparazi! They each provided so many that it was hard to pick them for my blog! I randomly went through each photographers photos and picked a few from each that stood out to me! Enjoy!

Ben and Leslie Guettler were married on May 7th 2010 at St. Helen's Church with Very Rev. Michael W. Edwards, V. F.officiating, and their reception was held at Bent Pine Golf Club. Leslie and Ben are such a sweet couple and it was such a pleasure to see so many familiar faces at the wedding. 2 months ago, I photographed Ben's brother Frank and Angel's wedding!

Ben and Leslie are such a perfect couple. They are so sweet together and you can really feel the love between them! I love the way they look at each other!

Leslie and her girls got ready at The Vero Beach Hotel and Spa with the amazing Cindy Goetz doing her make-up and the also amazing Shelly (also my hairdresser from Salon Vie) doing her hair along with Jodi.

The beautiful flowers were provided by Johnson's Flower world.

The band, Groove Merchants, were fantastic and really kept the party going!

The food, provided by Bent Pine Golf Club, was amazing! They had somewhat of a cajun theme, and being from New Orleans, I LOVED IT!

The cake was beautiful and was made by Amanda Claytor. She had beautiful decor and cool uplights from Hylite.

Leslie put so much time and thought into this wedding and did an amazing job putting it all together!

The entire day was perfect and it was truly a pleasure and an honor to be a part of Leslie and Ben's special day!

My new Logo!!!

2010-05-20T20:53:00.000-04:00

For a while now, I have been wanting to design a logo that I will keep for the rest of my life! I have been working on it for at least 2 years and finally designed one I love! I wanted to incorporate the Fleur De Lis into since it is a symbol that represents the City of New Orleans. The symbol is very special to me and reminds me of home every day! I hope you like it as much as I do!
