Congratulations to Emily & Joseph! True love always wins, even when mother nature throws the crazy cold weather, relentless rain & the rumor of snow showers.

With their friends & family providing all the warmth necessary, they tied the knot indoors at Fairchild Tropical Gardens. After they exchanged vows, complete with a fantastic ensemble of musicians, they hosted a non stop party underneath the warm cover of a tent. Adding a personal touch & sharing their love of food and cooking – Emily & Joseph created a cookbook full of their favorite recipes – including their wedding cake.

Craig & I thank you both for braving the elements and never once forgetting about the importance of your day & carrying that warm love with you all night long. Enjoy some of our favorite images from your wedding day – click on the link below.

So excited to share this session – as I do not always blog engagement sessions – but it is Art Deco weekend! We always enjoy it when couples are up for anything -and after spending time with Renee & Brad we knew how much they loved living on the beach & being a part of this wonderful community. I asked if they would mind taking vintage deco photos – and they were totally up for anything! So a few weeks ago we headed out for some photos, both vintage & now – hope you enjoy them. Cannot wait for the wedding… Many thanks to the fabulous Tatiana Peralata for the wonderful makeup!

Congratulations to Jessica and Mike! This wonderfully down to earth couple recently exchanged vows at the bride’s childhood church, St. Jude’s Catholic Church in Miami. The beautiful bride could not stop smiling as she made her way down the isle in a fantastic Vera Wang gown. Nothing could dampen their spirits, even as the crazy weather changed into wind & rain – and then stopped just in time for their fantastic sparkler church exit. A gorgeous reception was held at the JW Marriott, with every detail planned to perfection by the newlyweds.

We were honored to document your wedding day and hope you enjoy some of our favorite moments!

Congratulations to Nate & Maryann! Every couple feels a bit of stress when planning their wedding day, but when your expecting an entire congregation at your wedding, the pressure can be even greater. Maryann & Nate handled it with grace and joy – as they exchanged vows during a beautiful ceremony led by the grooms father, Rev. Tobin of St Thomas Episcopal Parish. After a touching ceremony, complete with the St Thomas Episcopal choir performing during the service, the newlyweds held a fantastic party under the stars at Jungle Island.

It was a honor to document your wedding day – we think you picked the most appropriate 1st dance song ever! Enjoy some of our favorite moments from your wedding day and best wishes as you begin Act II of your journey together.

Congratulations to Sina and Ashwin! After traveling around the world to find each other, they tied the knot recently at the Acqualina resort and spa. I cannot thank you both enough for being totally relaxed, and doing everything together – including getting ready! The crazy weather brought beautiful afternoon sun, crazy gray skies, lots of wind, a potential storm and then a beautiful rainbow.

As dusk fell, they exchanged vows on the beach, which brought tears to everyone’s eyes as their love story was told. Then the party started under the stars; with a fantastic salsa as their first dance. With guests traveling from every corner of the globe, it was a intimate affair, in many languages.

I wish you all the best as you begin your lives together – may your journey together in life be as rewarding as the one you took to find each other.

Enjoy some of my favorite moments from your wedding day!
