So happy to have taken beautiful Vanessa’s maternity pics at Leu Gardens! It was great to see her and Roger again (see their wedding here) They are so excited for baby girl Celynarose! And so am I. xo
Fun day at Leu Gardens for Matina’s Senior Portrait photo shoot!
Orlando Senior Portrait Photography by The Canovas Photography
I’ve known beautiful Mackenzie for a while, we are neighbors and we photographed her and twin sister Morgan’s senior portraits and senior prom. Now she is all grown up and graduating from Rollins College. I was so happy to sit and talk with her, experiencing her excitement about planning her wedding with Beau at the Cypress Grove Estate House. Courtney and I had a lot of fun spending time with them in Leu Gardens capturing their engagement shots. People in love are so easy to photograph <3

We met Angela and Evan through our friend Halle – Angela was her beloved dance coach at Oviedo High School. We had a lot of fun strolling through Leu Gardens for their engagement shoot, enjoying the view and watching how great they are together, laughing a lot. We love their photos! They are so sweet to each other and so… gorgeous. We can’t wait for their wedding! I asked Angela to write about how they met and what they love about each other:
How we met: I coached Evan’s younger sister on the Dance Team at Oviedo High School. Their mother introduced us (she gave him my number) in April of 2012.
First date: Our first date was canoeing at Wekiva Island. He says he immediately fell for me because I was so easy to talk to and I loved wings, beer, and hockey! Not to mention, his family already loved me and knew me as Coach K. I love him for being the most kind-hearted and considerate man I have ever known. He still opens the car door for me every time. Evan loves my sense of humor and my passion for teaching dance. I look up to him for the courage he has as a firefighter and paramedic.
We were engaged at sunrise on March 24, 2013 on Daytona Beach.
Courtney and I are ridiculously excited to be leaving Saturday for our Fantasy Disney Cruise Destination Wedding to Mexico – Western Caribbean! Mostly because we absolutely LOVE our amazing couple Yvonne and Eric from New York. We (and 20 of their closest friends and family) are off to an amazing week that includes a beautiful wedding on the beach of Disney’s Castaway Cay and a Trash the Dress photo shoot on Grand Cayman Island! Plus fun shopping time in Cozumel and some Mayan ruin sightseeing in Costa Maya.
Almost exactly a year ago Yvonne called me from New York while we are on our annual wedding anniversary trip to St. Augustine. When she told me she wanted us to photograph her Disney Cruise Wedding for the week of November 9th, I told her, “oh we would love that – that will be over our wedding anniversary!” she pretty much hired us on the spot – “It’s fate,” she said. “You have to be there with us then.” On November 10, Courtney and I will be celebrating our 6th wedding anniversary, dining in the exclusive (fancy!) French restaurant Remy. (Happy Anniversay honey!)
Through the year we have become good friends with Yvonne and Eric. They came here to Orlando for an engagement shoot, which we have some of our favorites below, and we went to New York for another shoot there over the summer (see it here.) They are the type of couple that are so easy to talk to, laugh with. They sent lovely notes all year, sent flowers for my birthday and for Christmas.
Leu Gardens is one of our favorite places to shoot, so pretty and peaceful there. Every spot is a beautiful backdrop. Especially when you have a couple as sweet and in love with each other as these two. Yvonne and Eric – we CAN. NOT. WAIT for our next adventure together! See you in a couple of days. xoxo
