Gorgeous Vizcaya Wedding

Posted in Weddings
January 28, 2009 – 1:31 am

Not too often do Andrea and I both get to shoot photography together at a wedding both as lead shooters—but our bride this weekend had both of us there to shoot her portraits, and we were so glad it was this wedding! This was a destination wedding from a couple from LA, so we never got to meet with this bride prior to the wedding day. From the moment we stepped in the room, it was one amazing shot after another.

Bonnie was a little flustered when her hair stylist was a no-show (luckily her make-up artist doubled as the hair stylist to save the day), but once she stepped in her dress, the rest of the day went great!

What an amazing ceremony setup…the flowers were so impressive. Did I mention the bride was gorgeous…and we were shooting at Vizcaya? Oh yeah…the groom was cool too…he was so chill the whole day, no nerves…did he know he was getting married?

So this is what happens when Andrea and I both shoot at the same wedding…..a blogful of images….like 60….so enjoy scrolling down for the next 10 minutes :)

Nicole & Keith…the dancing couple

Posted in Cinematic Films, Weddings

We were all over the place documenting Nicole & Keith’s wedding..starting at the Marriott Harbor Beach in Ft Lauderdale to get Nicole and the fam getting ready. Then to the church not too far away…and then back to Delray Beach Marriott for the reception before stopping at the beach to get some great footage of them enjoying an amazing evening. The reception was non-stop dancing….this crew had it together…its was like a 3 hour music video, with all of Nicole’s “dancing” friends that knew all the moves to every song! I guess they are all in some sort of dancing club they said….either way it made for a hopping dance floor. Here is their Essentials Recap Film.

Jennifer and Ryan’s Wedding

Jennifer and Ryan were married at the Jupiter Beach Resort on Saturday, and it was the most beautiful day! A little cold for the bridesmaids and the bride I think since they had strapless dresses on, but absolutely wonderful weather! I really love both Jennifer and Ryan, they are so adorable together, and Im so glad their day was perfect for them. I am SO SO excited about this year’s weddings, we have so many great couples this year tying the knot, and I can’t wait to be a part of all their days!

Chantilly & Jose - First Couple of 2009

Posted in Weddings
January 20, 2009 – 12:36 am

 

What a great day to have a rehearsal party..on New Years Eve! This couple married January 1st at the Westin Colonnade hotel in Miami was our first wedding of the year (obviously). We were looking forward to this wedding since we had a few weeks off for the holidays and my sister-in-laws wedding. After tying the knot we got some great portrait journalistic images outside on Miracle Mile and such. We love this hotel and this couple was so sweet…it was a great day! Ryan will post their video in a few weeks, but until then enjoy some fabulous images!

Jeffrey and Patricia were a bunch of fun on their wedding day in November.  Between the all the crazy comments the groom was making about his tardy groomsmen to the boogie down dancing by the bride and groom on stage at the end of the night…it was one great day!

Here is the trailer from their wedding…..full recap coming soon!

This little porcelain doll baby was a dream to photograph! I photographed her when she was just a newborn and she is still sticking her tongue out at me, lol. She has really grown into a gorgeous little girl and I really hope to see her again soon! -Andrea

What’s not to love about this family? I had such a blast shooting this session with these guys and I was so happy to be able to capture these great moments. Anita, I think you did amazing, you would never know from these images that you were uncomfortable in front of the camera, you are a natural! You are certainly blessed with an amazing family, call me when you have grandchildren! -Andrea
