Welcome to my world!

Hello everyone!

Claire here, and pictured with me to my right is my wonderful husband, my business partner, my best friend, my walking swiss army knife; who I simply call Matt. We have been together so long our name has become one word among our friends: "MattnClaire" - no really! We started dating when we were 14 years old and never looked back. We were finally married on our TEN YEAR anniversary; 6/13/09!!!

I have always had a creative mind, been a free spirit, a right brainer. My husband is logical, technical, a left brainer; together we make the perfect team for a business maybe not the best team when deciding how to organize our closet... but I digress.

Being a bride is fresh in my mind, I remember how I spent months agonizing over every single detail. I also remember how relieved I felt when the "super storm" stopped just long enough for Matt and I to exchange our vows outside, I remember how happy Matt and I were when we successfully completed our first dance (after weeks of us tripping over our four left feet).

Most importantly, I remember how good I felt knowing those memories were caught on camera for me to re-live. Now I get to do that for other brides and families, and let me tell you, I have never felt more blessed.

Christina and Scott’s Leu Garden Engagement Session in Winter Park

Posted in Engagement

Christina and I go way back, and when I say way back I mean WAAAAY back. We were close friends and bus buddies all during middle school. Now I get the pleasure of sharing another milestone in her life, her falling in love and marrying Scott. Scott and Christina love relaxing, listening to music, cooking and drinking wine. So it was very fitting that we had a relaxed and sweet engagement session at Leu Gardens, and around Winter Park and finished off at their favorite Wine shop in Winter Park. I hope you enjoy their session as much as I did, they are just the sweetest and I CANNOT wait till their wedding tomorrow at the Lake Mary Events Center!!!

Leave Some Love!

Amber and Daniels Stunning Beach and Railroad Engagement at Vero Beach

Nothing thrills me more when I find a couple that loves to have fun! Amber and Daniel are so amazing together, I remember taking to Amber about her engagement session, and when I asked her “are there any props you would like to bring to your session?”, she immediately replied “YES! I want to bring Daniel’s Harley!” That’s when I knew this couple was going to be a blast, and boy, was I right! DREAM BIG brides, dream big!

Steph and John are the cutest couple, and when Steph and I talked about their engagement shoot and having it at Leu Gardens I was thrilled! I had yet to shoot there and all the flowers were in full bloom, and so were Steph and John! I was so happy to see them in coordinating color shirts and fully in love ready to have a great time!
