One of Nick & Angela’s favorite songs…..ended up being the trailer song for their lovely wedding in Jupiter/Palm Beach Gardens. Always lovely working at the marvelous Frenchmans Reserve in Palm Beach Gardens with the one and only Pat Saylor! The weather didnt exactly cooperate with us on the wedding day but none-the-less the wedding must go on! Enjoy!

Soon to be Mr. & Mrs. Keane

Posted in Engagement

So weird when our friends change their name! We cut no corners with Jason & Stephanie’s engagement session as we tackled Miami traffic to get down to the ghetto (where else can you get graffiti?) before finishing up in Key Biscayne with an amazing sunset. Andrea has the pleasure of shooting the photography for this couple and I am honored to be the Best Man in Jason’s bridal party! Wahoo—I get to party as Andrea works :) Can’t wait for their wedding in February!

 

 

 

Trash the Dress!

Here are some of our favorites from Janet and David’s Trash the Dress session. Andrea loves it when couples go “outside the box” and a Trash the Dress session involves just that–something different!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Farah & Arshad’s Wedding Celebration

Posted in Portrait, Weddings

We have been looking forward to Farah and Arshad’s fantastic two day Indian celebration for some time and September came quick! We finally got the meet the awesome couple just a few days before at their last minute engagement shoot and a few days later they were married!

We photographed Friday evening’s events at the Eden Roc Resort in Miami Beach on Friday and this was the first of its kind for us…..lets just say we’ve never photographed a groom getting showered in mustard and ketchup and whip cream..and whatever else these guests were pulling out of their pockets!  Actually one of the first guests went to throw an egg at Arshad, and he missed, and where does it go? Bam hits me on my leg and splatters all over my pants….have to say that discouraged me just a bit to get too close to the action! But you know us we did get gutsy and jump in there many times (we just planned our angles better from there on out!).

Their wedding on Saturday was at Eden Roc before heading over to the amazing Vizcaya Gardens for their evening reception celebration. Tamara Cohen  and her crew from TC Event Design did a great job turning Vizcaya into a grand reception in a matter of only hours! It looked spectacular so kudos to her and her crew for doing some serious organizing and planning to make this event go as smooth as it did! Their crew rocked it!

Congrats to Arshad and Farah! You guys are awesome! Here is a few Andrea picked for the blog. Enjoy! ~Ryan

First a few from Friday night:

And now a few from Saturday’s event:

Our team took a look at the entries, really thought about what each couple wrote us in the intial entry mail, envisioned everyones wedding,  read through most of the comments to see what others thought (gotta admit the comments did not play a huge role in us selecting the winners—too many illigitament comments–sorry guys!!) and then I had my crew here at the studio help pick out the winners!
