I love shooting the wedding of a groomsman or bridesmaid from a past wedding shoot. Scott was a groomsman in Jonathan & Jennifer Bajalia’s wedding. Jonathan returned the favor and was in Scott and Jennifer’s wedding party. But wait! It gets better! I got to shoot in one of the coolest wedding venues ever. The Jacksonville Zoo! We were having the reception right by the Jaguar habitat. How cool is that? Everything was amazing. Cool temperatures, clear blue sky, great food, great DJ, and great people. I have the best job in the world!

I just LOVE the bridal portrait with her veil flying up. I love zoo weddings!
Really great work Thomas! Also loved the effect of scrolling down…”Group shot, bride, flag, AHH! Snarling cheetah!”
Really great work Thomas. Nailed it
WOW, great work, im going to see photos again
hehe. Zoo weddings, you just want to cut loose to your childhood.
Wow, this looked like a very dark wedding, but you nailed it with some amazing off camera flash work.
Love it!
I would of thought Leviticus 19:28 would of made a more suitable scripture!
FUN venue and how cute was their first dance?! Great work!
Beautiful lighting. It really works perfect with the energy and emotion of the bride and groom.
Gorgeous wedding and awesome venue. Love the sparklers photo and the shots on the ferris wheel.
