Hand Painted Masterpiece

Posted in News

We are now offering amazing hand painted wall portraits here at the studio. We just put one framed up on the wall here in the lobby and it looks terrific. This is just perfect for an heirloom family or child portrait. Take a look at it in person next time you are in!  ~Ryan

What a reception!

Posted in News

Check out the amazing reception my couple had at this wedding. Talk about great entertainment for the guests! The entire night was full of surprises and this couple was ready to have a good time from the moment I walked into her room!

Heather and Nathan’s smokin hot beach session!

Posted in Engagement

We are looking forward to photographing and filming Heather and Nathan’s Marco Island wedding in a few weeks, but they flew down last week to shoot their engagement session and Andrea rocked it once again with some smokin imagery of the two of them! Doesn’t hurt that they are a great looking couple!! :) Here are some favorites from their session and we look forward to producing their engagement guest book as well with their favorite images! ~Ryan

Marco Island Beauty!

Posted in Weddings

I had the pleasure of photographing an Australian couple that was married in Marco Island over Labor Day weekend (event #2 of 3 of our marathon of events over that long weekend). We lucked out and had a beautiful day over in Marco…working at the lovely Marriott Marco Island under the direction of coordinators Jacey Woods and Kathleen Quinn. It was great to see Marriott’s golf courses, and featured clubhouse called the Rookery Club, where this couples reception took place. What a gorgeous location for a smaller event that is a bit different than the “beach” at Marco but just as nice! We got some killer shot on the course and at sunset as well….oh and did I mention the rainbow that came out for like the 10 minutes we happen to be shooting formals!  This bridal party was something else….I have a hilarious shot of one of the groomsman mooning the camera..however that one’s a bit to graphic for the blog….is that how they do things down under? Hope not! Oh and by the way…this couple’s living the dream….they are traveling the world for the next 6 months and then coming back the the US to travel around the US to find the best place for them to live…how awesome is that?!?! Congrats Kelly & Brian!  ~ Ryan

Quick Teaser from Downtown Palm Beach Engagement

Posted in Engagement

We are shooting Farah and Arshad’s wedding this weekend in Miami and can’t wait to photgraphy all the amazing events this weekend! Here was a few of the last of images we took at twilight from their e-session!

Delray Beach E-Session

Posted in Engagement

Trish and Mike are getting married in a few short weeks, but first comes their engagement session! Photgraphed in downtown Delray Beach, we were able to hit up Atlantic Ave before we finish up on the beach. We are so lucky here in FL to get these lovely locations–and we all take it for granted that we live in such a nice place! Too bad its usually too hot to enjoy it all the time! But then again thats what ice cold drinks are for! I assisted Andrea on this shoot, and I have to give a shout out to our two photographic assistants because our equipment is not light..we certainly give our assistants a lot of heavy stuff to drag around! But then again, I am Andrea’s best assistant :) Here are a few of Andrea’s favorites….

Angela and Nick’s Palm Beach Wedding

Posted in Weddings

We loved this awesome couple from New York City. Although Angela’s parents live here in Jupiter, the couple got married a long way away from the New York City atmosphere they live in! We photographed this couples engagment session a few weeks back in Manhattan and now they are married! The weather was not quite as exciting on their wedding day—downpour on the way to Frenchmans Reserve which sort of canceled the golf course shots we had in mind…but regardless everyone had a fantastic time at this lovely event!

Summer Breakers Wedding…a bit hot!

Posted in Weddings

Our Friday evening wedding with Parisima and Mohammad was a hot one! Luckily everything was in doors, except most of the portraits of course! It was really hot out but we managed to get a few portraits around the lovely Breakers property without the bride getting to hot. Here are a few favorites from the evening.
