It's Here: Gerel and Kishon's Wedding (Florida)!

I've been looking forward to post this wedding that was one of the 3 weddings in 6 days. Talk about the power of networking, Craig (from Alecia and Craig's wedding) told Sherill from (www.okmon.com) about me. She then told Sherry, an event planner from (www.chainofeventsbahamas.com). Sherry then introduced me to the lovely couple. I was impressed with them even before I met them as I read on the couple's wedding website that Gerel captured the attention of an entire aeroplane in mid-flight to ask Gerel, "Will you marry me?" I think that's soooo romantic!!! As you'll see in the wedding pictures of the bride getting ready, Gerel continued the trend of being a true romantic. Later on in the wedding, I saw where he learned that from. The love between him and his mother and between his parents is unmistakably clear! During my initial meeting with them, I suggested that they incorperate something from Gerel's Trinidadian roots and Kishon's Bahamian roots. They had already decided on steel pan players which represents Gerel's background and after some thought, they suggested Carnival players to represent Kishon. Well, thanks to Sherry, it all came together great! Everyone had a blast! Sherry and Maya did a FABULOUS job as event planners! I observed them busily scurring around the entire time yet maintaining a professional aura that kept everyone at ease. The flowers are true works of art, the dj was awesome, the food delicious, the makeup artist from Mac did her thing, and the steel pan players really added a touch of class! Congrats to everyone on a job well done! MAKE SURE you check out www.chainofeventsbahamas.com as I am totally floored each time I see it! They are based in Florida and Bahamas for all your event planning needs. Gerel and Kishon, it was a pleasure working with you and may the love that you obviously shared on that day just continue to overflow as the years go by!

WOW! Shelly, ur skills are getting greater and greater. There are so many shots here that straight skill and art. Love that pic of the couple thru the display of the guest's digital cam. Love the creativity. U go girl.

Lovely wedding. Awesomely planned - decorations and flowers are off the chain. And the dancing must have been a lot for that guy's shirt to be super wet.

Loving it.

Thanks GMike :-) I'm happy you liked the 2 in one as it took more time and creativity to compile it :-) I'm happy you liked the black and white images as I am getting into them more as they do a great job of capturing/focusing on the emotion of the picture.

Hey Teka :-) I thank God for giving me the knowledge and perceptiveness in capturing the moment :-) I definately agree that the entire wedding was well planned and the flowers are awesome! I see why you are a Ph.D. student as you are very perceptive! The party was CRAZY. The song I used for the slideshow was one of the songs the carnival players played and the crowd was going wild the entire evening; no wonder that guys shirt was soaking wet! I heading off to New York again this evening so I will have 2 more weddings to blog about soon. Until then, keep sweet! :-)
