Every story we capture is an honor and leaves a mark on our hearts. Here are a few recent films of the people we hold dear.

Emily & Zack’s day seriously went by too quickly. I was with them all day, and yet I feel like I blinked and then it was over. Which made me very very sad. Then I remembered I filmed it! Silly me. And ohhhhhh the things I saw that I didn’t quite notice the first time around.

Deanna and George love each other with a fierceness you don’t see too often. They really do love with their whole hearts and it shows the second you ask either to talk about the other.

Paradise Cove in Orlando. It’s basically the setting I would choose for a movie should I ever make it. The water, the trees, the cottage, the pavilion–all of it was perfect, and so perfectly Lydia & Nick.

Their wedding day was held jointly at Bellewood Plantation and First Baptist Church in downtown Vero. It was a gorgeous day, not too hot, but it was raining. And not a fun kind of rain… the drizzly, grey sky, won’t soak you but it’ll annoy you kind of rain. Todd and Emily weren’t phased in the least.

My friend Marie of Marie Nicole Weddings asked if I would like to be part of a styled shoot she was cooking up with Sarandipity Florals, ECP Events and Grant Station. The idea was a moody rendition of Beauty and The Beast and Photography by V would be taking stills. I was like, “um. YES.”

Pat & Lauren have possibly the most complex wedding story I’ve ever had the honor of telling. But maybe I should start with the fact that I didn’t shoot their actual wedding… I got to film their vow renewal at Up The Creek Farms…

I’m not sure I’ll ever see another wedding quite as unique as Hannah & Dakota’s. It was Earth Day (which was on a Sunday this year) and there wasn’t a single element of the day that didn’t have meaning behind it. Everywhere you looked, everything you heard, touched–Smelled, even, had a story.
K I A N A + D A V I D
Kiana and David were married at the stunning Knowles Memorial Chapel on the campus of Rollins College in Winter Park. I’m not sure I’ve ever seen a more beautiful church, nor one more perfectly suited for a bride and groom.
V A L O R I E + J O S H
Soulmates.
And so they are. Just watch, try not to cry, and tell me this isn’t one of the greatest gifts of life you’ve ever seen–two souls, perfectly matched, reunited.
K A T I E + K E N N Y
It is truly refreshing to walk into a wedding knowing that my bride and groom are 100% present for the moments that are awaiting them. No distractions. No nerves. No anxiety. Just love.

Tim’s was the first face Emily saw when she walked into the busy restaurant where she was meeting her sister and friends on Valentine’s Day in 2015. Like Emily, Tim felt the room fall away and nothing has shifted their gaze from each other since.

“Love is not breathlessness. It is not excitement. It is not our proclamation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being in love, which any of us can convince ourselves that we are. Love itself is what is leftover when being in love has burned away. And this is both an art and a fortunate accident. You and I have this.” ~ Michael to Jillian
MEET PEAR & THORN
We are friendly, approachable, artful, emotionally honest, edgy, deep and homegrown, grass roots kind of artists.
We conceptualized Pear & Thorn as a play on our surnames as well as the contrast and compliments we found within our relationship. The pear fruit is soft, crisp, unique and luxurious in some ways, while the thorn is unpredictable, wild, self-preserving, and often attached to things of great beauty.We think these elements represent our films and photographs. Nothing we do is formulaic and we advise our clients to trust us as we create the most perfect, artistic representation of something that should not be rushed–the telling of your unique story.
