Welcome to my blog!  I am an International and National wedding photojournalist and portrait photographer based in Orlando, Fl.   I have been blessed to have photographed weddings in Africa, Europe and all over the U.S.  I have the best career in the world!  I LOVE what I do :) Please browse my blog to see my latest work, inspirations, my life, and my passions. I hope you enjoy the site and please stop by my website at www.karlafountain.com I am not too fond of having my photograph taken (go figure!)  I prefer to be behind the lens but a good friend my second photographer, Lisa shot this photo of me and to my amazement (not based on her shooting skills of course :) but to my dislike of photographs of me - I like it a lot!

Hi all!

I am still catching up on weddings, engagements and portrait sessions here on the blog…..  Stay tuned!

In the meantime here is a gorgeous wedding of Katie and Matt at the amazing Maison Jardin in Lake Mary, Fl.  It was a gorgeous sunny day  - a little hot but it’s Florida

Katie was so gorgeous - her gown was regal, and implied elegance that is Katie.  She is such a sweet and genuine person - so an elegant dress was certainly fitting for her

The wedding was wonderful!  Taking place outside on the Maison Jardin lawn just outside their gorgeous garden.  All I can say about the cake and the decor is gorgeous!  It fit the wedding and the location.  A lot of forethought went into all the details of this wedding

Hope you enjoy the images and as always please visit my site: Karla Fountain Photography and my blog: Karla Fountain’s Blog

 

I will say it again - I love intimate weddings!  Such a sweet couple!  They had their beautiful intimate wedding at the Mission Inn Hotel and Club in Howey-in-the-Hills, Fl.

What a gorgeous couple!  And of course they are just as gorgeous inside :)  They live in New Smyrna Beach so it was important to them to have the engagement session there - and what  a blast it was.  We wandered all around downtown, the beach, a fire station - it was awesome!  Bridget told me about this old fashioned gas station - OMG was it awesome.  The owner was there and said it was not operational but given how great the condition of the gas pumps were I was surprised to hear they were not up to ‘working’ code or something….

There wedding is this weekend at the Rosen Shingle!  I cannot wait!!!!  Brittany of Tickled Pink Brides will be coordinating the event - LOVE working with her.  So sweet and so together with weddings.  Love it

I cannot wait to photograph their wedding this weekend.  And I will blog their images as quick as I can - I know they will be amazing and hard for me to choose which images to blog!

Hi!!

I have been so swamped I have not been able to post in a while.  But, look out soon for an INCREDIBLE engagement session taken in New Smyrna Beach.  And a wedding I photographed in Ohio.  One of my most treasured friends and 2nd shooter until she moved back home to Ohio got married!!!  So, of course I was the photographer :)  SO thrilled to have been there.

So, keep an eye out as posts are on the way!!

A WOW wedding for sure!!!  I could write a book on this incredible wedding.  I shot a wedding on this private island off of Captiva Island a few years ago.  It is only reachable by boat!  And, no cars on the island only golf carts.  Talk about escaping the hustle and bustle of the landlocked!

I am horrible at writing so bear with me :)  Sherri the gorgeous bride was marrying her equally handsome groom Russell - aka Tug!  It was hilarious during the prep time before the ceremony I kept hearing the name “Tug” and knew he had to be someone important as they mentioned the name all the time!  Finally, I was with a bridesmaid said “Tug” in front of Russell did I get it :)  He is so fun and relaxed of a person and said we could call him whatever - Tug, Russel, Russ….  So, cute.  But, I never got to find out where the name “Tug” came from!  I will have to find out

They had a gorgeous small beach wedding.  And the most hilarious (others may think differently on this) when the officiant asked for the rings everyone looked at each other.  The sister and maid of honor said they were in the golf cart!  So, her and the best man (the groom’s brother) RAN to the golf cart!  Everyone was laughing!!  I turned on my rapid shooting to get expressions and the moments of this treasure.  But, I can see how a bride might not be too happy about this happening.  But, from a photographer’s point of view is was great

The reception was beautiful - a beautiful tent, a great band, lots of emotions from the dances.  It was wonderful to see it all.  My boat was set to leave at 10:30 which was before the reception was over.  I truly wished I could have stayed longer :)  Even tried to call the boat charter company (at the request of the bride of course but I did want to stay to capture more of the fun) but never heard back.  So, on the boat we went to the marina.  The ride on the boat at night was just so cool.

Adored this wedding
