I have been busy busy busy these past few months in the heat of full on wedding season in Florida. I was thrilled when Cynthia first contacted me about her elopement in May since it was literally walking distance from my house. I have been getting dreadfully used to driving across the state, and all over the southeast to photograph weddings and, don’t get me wrong, I love the variety traveling offers to my portfolio. But sometimes, it is fantastic to be able to capture a wedding in the cute little town we live in. Dunedin has quickly become one of our favorite cities in all of Florida since it is just so dang cute. It is 9 square miles wide. That’s it. We have…

Melissa + Patrick | Sarasota Beach Wedding | Destination Wedding Photographer Alison Epps

Fine_Art_Wedding_Photographer_Sarasota_FL_0081

I met Melissa and Patrick just before Christmas to chat wedding photography and instantly we really hit it off; since then I have been SO excited for their Sarasota Beach wedding in May. We got together for margaritas a few months before the wedding just to chat, and instantly they have been like family, rather than clients. I have been so blessed to have some of the sweetest, most sincere couples on the planet! Aside from our instant connection, the love you can see shared between one another is the kind a photographer always hopes for in their couples. The softness in their eyes and natural tender touch can’t be forced. They were truly a delight from the start. On Saturday, November 12, 2011, they…

Shawna and Patrick chose to do their engagement session in Dade City and around St. Leo University since they both went to school there and it has special meaning to them. You just can’t beat a big open field at sunset off a highway in Dade City to wrap up a session full of love and laughter. Dude city was full of hidden gems, and I just got to scratch the surface there. I am just dying waiting for their wedding in Jekyll Island, Georgia. If I wasn’t already impatient for it I am now!!

Well I’m getting to scratch my travel itch recently with help from these two. I’m excited to share this engagement session from the Dallas Arboretum last month with this sweet couple. Lindsey and Don are getting married in June in Pensacola, and I can’t WAIT!! I am pumped to not only photograph them committing their lives to one another but get to watch it first hand. I was full on excited to meet these two and photograph for them once I heard about Don proposing to Lindsey at the Arc de Triomphe in Paris! (Yeah… you did awesome Don!) So I have certainly had my fun in Texas this past month flying out twice for wedding and engagement sessions and I’m still waiting for a…

Cassie’s Senior Photos | Leu Gardens in Winter Park, Florida | Alison Epps Photography

Fine Art Senior Photographer Winter Park Florida_0157

I was so honored to get to photograph Cassie’s senior photos at Leu Gardens in Winter Park, Florida. I actually photographed her mom’s wedding at this location about 4 or 5 years ago (excuse my memory..) and had such a blast to photograph this gorgeous lady here too. She is super fun loving and energetic and played along with me as we tried to recreate some gorgeous Anthropologie style greenhouse shots I had loved from an catalogue I saved for inspiration that my husband eventually scribbled notes all over. He’s still in trouble for that!! ;) This gorgeous young lady is joining the military after graduating next month and I can’t wait to hear about her adventures. Many congratulations to you, Cassie. And all my best wherever…
