Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Staton!

Chris and Nakir got married a couple weekends ago and we are more than thankful for allowing us to photograph such a beautiful wedding. It was quaint and intimate and you could feel the love in the air. It was a very special day for these two, a small wedding setup in Lake Worth, Florida. Chris's aunt transformed her backyard it into a beach house paradise. The weather was perfect, food was fantastic, color and decor top notch. We could go on and on.

If there are a couple lessons to be learned from this wedding it is: One, small weddings are the way to go. They are romantic and intimate. Not only will the bride and groom have more time to enjoy themselves and their special day more but so will the guests. Second, it's more cost efficient and it is just as beautiful and special.

Thank you again to the Staton family and congratulations, Nakir and Chris!

You may now kiss...

Watching the mother/son dance.

That's a great husband.

Chris's love for Nakir is evident in almost every picture. You can't fake that look.

Best man speech.

Please cry at your wedding, it makes for great photography ;)

Touch up.

The beautiful couple.

Someone special was looking down on them. Check out that flare.

Barr family + Smith Photography reunited

We love the Barr family and their girls. They are beyond cute. Pictures don't even do them justice. We had a blast, as always! To see other recent pictures of this growing family click here and here. "Tiff-tani" can't wait to work with you again!

On a side note, when shooting with small children it's more important to get them outside of a studio setting. Pictures just come alive and they look so much better! You can't get smiles like this in an artificially lit studio. Enjoy :)

Thank you again, Barr family!

Endless love

Who do you love more than your kids? No, not your husband or wife! What about your furry four-legged friends? Our pets are always there to shower us with endless amounts of love and are often forgotten when it comes to our family portraits.

Call us to arrange a session with you and your "best friend" and a portion of the proceeds will be donated to a pet-friendly charity of your choice.

Now we just want to show off our kids :)

"The look of love" Richard and Kara

Richard and Brandon have been buddies since elementary school. Kara knew exactly what she wanted with her engagement pictures and had great ideas. She made our job very easy. We went to the always awesome Key Biscayne for a little afternoon/sunset shoot. The couple had a lot of spectators, the park was full of tourists and locals. It was obvious these two were in love. They exuded a strong bond and love for each other. It's so nice to see true love in a couple and once again, it makes our job that much easier. Thank you for such a wonderful afternoon! We can't wait for the wedding! Congratulations to Mr. and future Mrs. Cooper :)

Slightly obsessed with this image. Definitely makes the top 5 favorite images.

Can't get enough of this image.
