2011- a new start for us!

2010-12-31T11:13:00.000-05:00

As a designer, I am never satisfied with the look of something. I love change and expect new things to come down my path at any moment. One of my favorite feelings is the feeling of a fresh start. This website will be a little less "professional" and a little more "me" as I journey through life with my camera. I have learned that life is too short and too beautiful to be clean-cut and sterile. I want you guys to see how much I love taking pictures...that's it. So if you are interested, please keep updated and follow this blog!

I have cleared out a bunch of old blogs, but a lot of the pictures are still available on my portfolio website: sereengualtieriphotography.com. Please check that out as well!

So here we go for 2011...cheers!

New blog coming soon!

Please excuse the mess as we work to beautify this site! Keep an eye out!

The Shores!

2010-09-01T02:19:00.002-04:00

I love the Shore family! It was fun running after Miles and trying to capture him with a high shutter-speed and fast legs! I love how these photos turned out because everyone was themselves and all of these photos are so genuine! They live in the outskirts of Gainesville in a rural area so the sun setting on their green fields was the perfect atmosphere for this fun family.

Weinert Wedding!

2010-09-01T02:12:00.003-04:00

Congratulations David and Kathleen! You might remember them from the engagement shoot we did about 4 months ago :). Their ceremony took place on the weekend before Dan and I's anniversary and was in the same place that we had gotten married 2 years ago! It was definitely fun being on the other side :). Their reception was spectacular! It took place at the Haile Plantation Golf and Country club and had a wine theme. Needless to say the sun setting while guests ate dinner and drank sangria among the golf hills was breath-taking!

Baby Kolb!

2010-08-25T23:37:00.004-04:00

My good friends Danielle and Joseph just had their first baby, and it is a beautiful, out-of-this-world-cute girl! Here are a few sneak peeks!

Duncan Wedding!

2010-08-12T11:16:00.004-04:00

I knew Rachel in college when we labored in Design school together at UF. She met her fiance David at Harry's restaurant in Gainesville where they were both working. 2 years after graduating, Rachel lets me know the exciting news that she is engaged and that she wants me to photograph her wedding! Anyways, I loved how these pictures turned out! At first I was bummed that it was such a cloudy day but the gray sky made for some epic backdrops for this gorgeous couple!

Antoine and Aimee-Engagement Session

2010-06-21T22:58:00.003-04:00

Antoine and Aimee are both french! However, that's not the reason they fell in love. In the past two years, they have both been working diligently at planting a church on Florida State University campus! They knew each other in college, but it wasn't until they were on a missionary team together that they realized that they wanted to be together for the rest of their lives!

Antoine and Aimee drove down to Gainesville from Tallahassee for the engagement shoot and we enjoyed a meal together with friends and family before going on our photoshoot. It was pouring! We took a bunch of shots indoors, but just before sunset the rain stopped just long enough for us to visit a community garden and take some awesome pictures by some beautiful sunflowers. Love them!

David and Kathleen-Engagement Session!

2010-06-21T22:53:00.001-04:00

David and Kathleen started dating after serving the homeless together here in Gainesville. It was great getting to know them through the session and seeing how fun-loving and genuinely happy they were to be together. Can't wait for their wedding in August!

These photos were taken on the side of SR 441! We saw this field with white wild flowers blooming all over the place! Needless to say, we had to take this side-trip and capture David and Kathleen playing in the beautiful array of flowers!

Engagement-Ray and Julie

2010-06-21T22:45:00.003-04:00

Two friends from high school fall in love five years after they've graduated! I knew both of these lovely people in two separate circles of friends, so when I found out they had recently gotten engaged, I was surprised and elated for them! So glad they called me about photographing their special day!

These shots were taken at Rollins College campus in Winter Park. Lovely old spanish style buildings with clean landscaping and an awesome dock for occasions such as this! This was where Ray proposed to Julie, and luckily for me, the place was charming! Looking forward to returning there for their wedding ceremony in November :).

Dunne Wedding!

2010-06-21T22:35:00.004-04:00

Sorry that I haven't been updating the site very much! It has been a crazy few weeks with photo-shoots, weddings and many of you know that I am a painter as well. I have been traveling and doing many art shows in Gainesville throughout the month of June and I have just barely had time to breath! Anyways, cheers to updated blogs!

I played volleyball with Andrea in high school and had a blast at her wedding seeing old friends! She is now happily married to Mr. Dunne (Sean) who skillfully and masterfully put together the reception decorations. So here's another toast to fiances who get things done!

Cassese Wedding!

2010-05-05T21:22:00.005-04:00

Wow! What a beautifully orchestrated event in which every detail tied into a rustic garden theme, fully involved with an old barn! I loved taking these pics although I do feel bad that the weather was so warm, I made the bride sweat trying to take these pics! However, she still looks stunning. Enjoy!

Sha Murphy-Graduation

2010-04-23T11:14:00.003-04:00

The beautiful Ms. SaRanda Murphy is graduating with her Bachelor's degree in Anthropology this May. Congrats Sha! I really loved this photo-shoot. It took place mostly on random fields on the side of SR 441. The coppery forest was a recently burned forest and I loved the contrast between the shiny bronze colored leaves and the darkened tree trunks. It just so happened that Sha picked out an outfit that went perfectly with the scheme of the forest. Amazing!

Julianna Hasebroock-Newborn Session!

2010-04-12T09:33:00.003-04:00

Julianna was only a week old when I got to take some lovely pictures of her! She was so perfect through the entire session (she was sleeping) which allowed us to play with her and pose her to our hearts content...this is what came out of it:

Kimberly Whitaker-Senior Casuals

2010-04-03T20:11:00.002-04:00

Kimberly is eagerly awaiting her graduation day! These pictures reflect some of her excitement. What I loved about shooting these is Kim's creativity in coming up with poses, wearing accessories (like the awesome hat), and her spontaneity (love!). Her elegant facial structure also gave us so much to work with as we shot a lot of close ups. Congrats Kim!

Graduation Casuals-Chelsea and Steve

2010-03-22T16:16:00.004-04:00

Chelsea is graduating with a degree in Elementary Education major and Steve is graduating with a degree from Law School. Wow! They met in Gainesville at UF about a year and a half ago and are now looking forward to the next phase of their life together :). These two were a fun, spontaneous and cute couple to photograph! I especially love their matching Lilly attire in some of the urban shots :). Congrats you two!

Walker Wedding

2010-03-15T10:47:00.003-04:00

The bride was beaming, the groom was in awe, and the crowd left knowing that they have witnessed something beautiful beyond words...that's why we have pictures! Rachael was actually one of my classmates in College. She played the role of a bridesmaid in my wedding and I played the role of photographer in hers! Dan and I enjoyed working together at this event and can't wait to photograph more weddings!

Singer/Songwriter Corey Matthews

2010-02-09T09:34:00.004-05:00

Talk about an amazing honor! To photograph such a beautiful and talented lady! I am so ecstatic at how great these pictures turned out! If you haven't already, book Corey for a show or your next event. Her voice is unimaginably gorgeous and her talent is unbelievable!

These are just a few of my faves but to see more, check us out on facebook: sereen gualtieri PHOTOGRAPHY & design

Jessica and Jeff-Engagment Pictures

2009-11-16T14:17:00.005-05:00

'Tis the season for Engagement shoots! I can't get enough! Jessica and Jeff are close friends of ours and Dan and I naturally felt comfortable around them and them us...so these pics are totally genuine! I was soo happy with how the lighting turned out that day and Dan, being my handy lighting manager did an amazing job making everything work beautifully! Enjoy! These are some of my faves :).

Corissa and Brennan Engagement Photos!

2009-11-04T12:06:00.004-05:00

Corissa and Brennan have got it: true love! I enjoyed taking their photos so much. They had such a genuine excitement for one another that it was easy to capture some great moments! We went down some backstreets of Gainesville and saw some neat houses with red doors (i have a slight obsession with red doors) and then headed to campus near sunset. So grateful for cool weather!

2009-10-24T19:59:00.005-04:00

Rachael and I went through the Interior Design program at UF together and she ended up being one of my best friends and bridesmaids at my wedding! Dan and I drove up to Atlanta and hit up some historic/fun areas to take these photos. Excited to take their wedding photos in February!

Family Portraits-The Cohens

2009-10-24T19:52:00.003-04:00

This photo-shoot was great! There were three generations: grandfather, dad and...Dane! I loved seeing the resemblance between the generations and the interaction between grandpa and Dane! This little guy is definitely much loved!

Family Portraits-The Darmafalls!

2009-10-24T19:45:00.002-04:00

Kevin, Jen and Max Darmafall were such a wonderful family to photograph! Max is surely a runner! I definitely got a workout following him around :). Kevin and Jen wanted some cute romantic ones too :). Here are some fun ones:
