 The day hot cocoa beat coffee

     Wake up - Turn computer on - Pandora on - Make a cup of coffee ? This is usually how my mind works in the morning,I am a coffe lover 100% but today I tried things a bit different. Actually make that a cup of hot cocoa. How about a little bossa nova in the air too?

    
    I really missed my parents.Which explains the feeling I had to drink some hot cocoa and listen to bossa nova .They always had hot cocoa early in the morning and late at night.

   
    So I looked up in the cabinet and there it was way in the back. A small cocoa mug my mom used to drink in. I knew it was time to use it.so I took it out, and poured some milk and hot cocoa in and warmed it up.just one sip made my day a whole lot better. Moms mug did hold some kind of memory to it and somehow I think that is how The hot cocoa beat the Coffee on my book :)

Myresha and Keith Engagement

    I asked Daniel what he thought best described Myresha and Keith as a couple. Everytime we write a blog we like to sit down and remember the moments we shared with the people we photographed. We both agreed that what reminded us most of Myresha and Keith is the genuine happiness they share with each other.I think out of almost all photoshoots I have done in this year of journey, I can say that  Myresha and Keith are just two very happy people.

    I loved the way Myresha smiled.She made me want to smile because she lightened the entire atmosphere with her smile and keith , he was a bit camera shy, but sure was GQ style :) .

    Thank you Myresha and Keith for choosing Daniel and Me to walk with you through such a special time in your  life.

Congratulations on your engagement !!!

With Love,

Laura and Galileo Wedding

    We met Laura and Galileo earlier this year and we were extremely excited to photograph their engagement and wedding. Laura and Galo are one of the biggest gators fans I have ever seen. 

   

    The days passed on as we waited for their big day to arrive, and IT DID.

Daniel and I arrived at the golf course a little earlier as part of our routine to hunt for some good spots to photograph and to meet the other vendors as well.Lighting was really great so we had a great canvas to work with.

    Laura and Galileo Opted to go for the ''first look''. the first look is when a bride and groom see each other before the ceremony giving us enough time to do all formals photos of the bridal party and the couple before the wedding ceremony. It is also great for the lighting and time to run smoother :) I absolutely love when brides choose to go for the first look. It is a very nice going, non stressing, experience for them as well as for me too :)

Even though I was behind my lens and camera body, i could feel how special seeing each other was to them. It was almost as if it was their first time meeting each other, holding hands, saying ''i love you''.All these emotions and much more. Kind of hard to explain with words ?

    The ceremony started and everything was beautiful. I loved how they had these lemonade coolers for their guests. I dont know about you but I love lemonade on a hot summer day so I went ahead and had lots of it :)

    The reception started in no time.Their first dance was a song written and composed by one of their brides maids. ABSOLUTELLY BEAUTIFUL :) 

    Congratulations Laura and Galileo on  your wedding !!! may God bless you each day more and more!

With love,

Raquel Sergio
