Vanessa + Kevin

January 26, 2010 – 10:19 pm

Talk about a miracle….this beach wedding almost never took place on the beqach due to bad weather all day! I woke up that morning and there was a tornado watch for most of South Florida and I remember thinking there was no way they were having their wedding on the beach. It was raining when we got there, and raining when we left, but somehow it cleared up for about 45 minutes for this fantastic beach wedding to take place. I have to say, I much rather shoot a December beach wedding than a May one…it was beautiful outside. This couple had a lot of fun at their wedding and between the DJ, the cigars, the buffet, the “fun/photo wall”, and everything else that was happening at this party, the guests were having a lot of fun! Christie from Pelican Grand Resort kept did a great job organizing and making sure everything went off without a hitch! Congrats to Kevin and Vanessa!

Elizabeth & Ryan

One of the last weddings of 2009 finally came, and that makes it one of the first posts of 2010! Here are a few images of Elizabeth and Ryan’s lovely wedding which took place at Monarch Country Club in Palm City. I had a great time photographing this couple….and could tell the groom would appreciate the ring shot on the football….I could tell by his house he was a big football fan—-there was football stuff all over! Congrats Elizabeth & Ryan! ~Ryan

Sara + Ben…..Beautiful Couple, Beautiful Day

Sara and Ben’s beachside wedding took place at the Hilton Bentley Miami/South Beach hotel, and what can we say….a beautiful couple and a beautiful day made this wedding nothing less than spectacular. We had never met Sara and Ben in person before the wedding day, so we didn’t know what to expect–but when you see these two interact you just feel the love! After a short beach ceremony, this couple had a lovely reception and their guests just straight up danced the night away! We had a great time putting this film together and we hope you enjoy it!

Brittany + Travis

January 20, 2010 – 8:54 pm

We had been waiting for months for Brittany and Travis’s long awaited wedding, and just as quick as Christmas approached this year, so did their December 20th wedding! They tied the knot at Crossroads Community Church in Palm City before heading up to the new Port St Lucie Civic Center for all the fun reception events that followed! Andrea knew this couple would just be so much fun photographing based on their e-session where Andrea said the couple was just so “lovey lovey — totally in love!” Brittany is such a sweet girl with so many funny expressions….the last image here says it all! Congrats Brittany and Travis!

Ruth + Claudel

On our way to our New Years Eve wedding, Andrea and I met up with Ruth and Claudel for a beautiful afternoon e-session in Miami. After our stop at their wedding location, Fairchild Tropical Gardens, where we spent almost an hour (goes by quick there!) creating some amazing portraits for the two of them, we headed to Key Biscayne for some rocking sunset shots in the water. It was a bit chilly this evening but that didn’t stop Andrea from pushing me into the water and helping with the lighting. Ruth and Claudel are such a nice couple and can’t believe their wedding is coming up already in March! Yeah!

Heather was quick to jump on this date on our schedule and secured this date many months ago, and now her wedding is only 10 months away! Andrea is slowly catching up with some blog images and next on the list was this lovely couple from Georgia. We should just buy this section of the beach for our shoots….its our couples favorite location for shoots! Once again….Andrea’s favorites!

Kadian and Vernon

Well, this session almost didnt start because Vernon and I were watching some football on the bigscreen in the HD Theater, but Kadian and Andrea somehow got him out of the studio and off to their session on the beach! What sports, because it was COLD that evening but they were troopers and although it was frigid out the weather was nice! It will be a nice change of scenery for this wedding as we head north (yes north not south!) for this wedding in Orlando at the Ritz Carlton. We look forward to it! Here are some of Andrea’s favorites from the session, enjoy!
