Don’t let the pictures fool you, today’s payoff cannot be measured in dollars.

First the obvious; Thanks be to the Almighty, I unleashed God’s thunder on the beach today!!! Hitting righty, then lefty, putting up walls at the net forcing opponents to shank spikes all over the place, Rhino and I didn’t win many games but we sure made a bunch of fans who wondered if we were “AVP or just real, real good players.”

See for yourself, it gets better…

While the fifties aren’t real currency, they’re Christian tracts we plant as spiritual seeds all over the beaches and theme parks we are blessed to count as our mission field. You see, among other activities, beach volleyball doubles as a ministry outreach, using scripture empowered $50 or Christian Worship CDs.

With 3 young daughters, our approach needs to be both passive enough to avoid conflict, yet aggressive to reach even the most hardened hearts.

Which area of Ministry are you involved in? Remember, ministry doesn’t have to hurt to bear fruit… and bleeding is not a requirement to go on a short term mission trip.

Get involved! God’s blessings await you in Ministry, and in Short Term Missions…

You already know I love the beach. Also beach vball ranks at the top of my list of summer sports. Actually in FL, we play year round praise God!!!

So today we planned on passing out tracts, CD’s and 50′s, but I left our goodies box at home so…. We did pray and sangs songs of worship, but no tracts this week… :(

Still we got a few nice snap shots that depict the morning pretty well, enjoy!!!

St Pete Beach ranks among my favorite spots, for its location and serene setting, both important elements of each public beach wedding. Don’t hesitate to call on yours truly for unique photo-journalistic coverage that’s glorifying to God almighty!

I received numerous requests for wedding photography coverage for that day. I planned on being a blessing to someone rather than go for the highest bidder. God answered my prayers today when I was honored to captured the beach wedding of Joyce & Jeff, shortly before sunset on Treasure Island Beach.

The venue was superb, Sunset Vistas’ large outdoor deck is ideal for family gatherings, casual weddings and parties. Located on the beach, Sunset Vistas Beachfront Suites is the perfect destination for a memorable beach wedding and it delivered once again today, praises to God for a wonderful,extraordinary beach wedding!

For starters, Dade City is picturesque enough on its own. Then as if an anointed church was not enough, both the bride and groom turned out to be spiritual examples for a whole new generation to learn from.

God’s plan for today not only included a phenomenal couple and their guests, our divine Father’s will turned out some of the most incredible church exterior shots I ever captured in photographs at a wedding.

I thank the Lord for such phenomenal photo opportunities and for the unraveling on His plan for my life as a wedding photographer. Today at the First United Methodist Church of Dade City, I came face to face with a wave of creativity made possibly by, of all things the weather and a building.

If you are contemplating having your wedding at the First United Methodist Church in Dade City, FL then don’t hesitate to book your date ASAP since this church is typically booked 2 years in advance during their busy months which are spring and fall.

Paradise Found?

Rosemary Beach is a neo-traditional town located on northwest Florida’s gulf coast, between Panama City and Destin, at the eastern end of Scenic Route 30A.  Easily accessible by air or by car, the town is a 30-minute drive from the Northwest Florida Beaches International Airport and a one-hour drive from the Fort Walton Beach Okaloosa Airport.

The Rosemary Beach Land Company and President Patrick Bienvenue had a vision they wanted to share with the world.  In 1995, that vision became a reality and Rosemary Beach was born.  Rosemary Beach Land Company’s development plan is founded in the principles of New Urbanism and Traditional Neighborhood Development.  Inspired by other classic beach towns, the 107-acre, gulf-front town of Rosemary Beach was designed to bring back the notions of community, neighborhood and convenience.

In other words, this slice of heaven on earth offers residents the opportunity to live and work in paradise.

In their search for paradise, people often travel to the far corners of the earth, only to come up empty-handed.  In reality, paradise is a lot closer than most people think.  Long stretches of pristine beaches made up of the brightest of white sands.  Refreshing breezes blowing off the waters of the Gulf of Mexico.  The peace and tranquility of gently lapping surf, singing gulls and sandpipers.  These are things that have been quietly awaiting discovery in a section of Florida’s panhandle.  These are the ingredients that make up the town Rosemary Beach–paradise found.

Residents of Rosemary Beach are lucky to not only live and work here, but also to have the opportunity to play here.  When work is finished and the rest of the errands can wait, Rosemary Beach is the perfect location for a vacation.  Mild year-round temperatures, yet still a change of season; spectacular beaches free from crowds; the natural beauty of a beach-side destination located on a designated scenic road; aesthetically-pleasing architecture and award-winning, expertly-designed layout; convenient and quaint town center, amenities such as tennis courts, pools, dune walkovers to the beach and lots of green areas in which to relax; these are the qualities of the new paradise of Rosemary Beach.

The bride, Cameron, a 2nd grace school teacher and her groom, Ben, a young man of vibrant evergy both spoke vows to love, and cherish and honer each other as they abide by the word of God and strive to advance His gospel through all means available to them.

The weather held up just long enough today to keep my Lange Farm record to 100% dry in spite of a few close calls, this one certainly being one of them.

Add delicious appetizers and an amazing Fillet Mignon entree to an already extraordinary venue and you have the perfect recipe for an amazing wedding.

I truly praise God for the opportunity to document Cameron and Ben’s wedding day at the Lange Farm, and I am grateful I was hired to shoot Cameron’s sister, Heather’s wedding as a result of the breathtaking coverage I provided at this wedding spectacular event, which took place at one of my favorite spots in the region, the Lange Farm in Dade City, FL.

If you find yourself contemplating the “farm” for your wedding, do so confidently knowing it ranks highly not only on my list, but on that of many wedding designers/coordinators throughout Central Florida.
