Pat's Family Pictures (Palm Beach, Florida)

Last weekend, I headed over to Palm Beach island to capture Pat's family pictures. He found me online and chose to use Shelly Edwards Photography! :-) They are a wonderful family and I thoroughly enjoyed working with them as they were more than willing to trust me with giving suggestions for the session. The session incorporated various celebrations, a mother's day gift to his mother, vacation pictures for his immediate family, graduation pictures for his nephew, newborn pictures of his daughter, and just enjoying that they are a family! :-) Thanks again Patrick for entrusting me with capturing your family pictures and looking forward to the possibility of capturing you and your family again at some other special occasion! :-)

Tara and Rudy's Wedding (Florida)

Two weeks ago, I enjoyed capturing the wedding of Tara and Rudy. I met Tara through her mother, Janet who was one of the 3 member team of decorators for Annika and Sheldon's wedding last month. When I heard it was a house wedding I was looking forward to it because I never did one before but knew it would be gorgeous because of the amazing job Janet (305-546-2255), Cynthia (954-294-0314), and Pat did of decorating the wedding. Sure enough, it was better than I dreamed of! There were several elements of the wedding that I was excited about because they were on my to do/wish list of things I wanted to capture but had no idea I would see them all at one wedding! :-) One, it was an all white theme which I think is so classy and shows that the guests must really love you to do that. Second, I loved her dress because it had a couture, European flare to it. Third, they had a dove release, and not only one dove but maybe about a dozen of them! Fourth was the grand finale, fireworks!!! :-) It is amazing that she literally selected everything and put it together after being engaged for only 3 weeks!!!! WOW! :-) Personally, I think they didn't miss anything by having it at their home versus having it at a catering hall/hotel. I had a great time as well capturing their adorable little daughter and handsome son. I'm looking forward to the video that will be produced by my preferred videographer, Marvin Joseph of www.ifilmworks.com and he can be contacted at 954-260-0146. Herbert and Janet Paisley from Reflection Catering did a wonderful job of providing delicious food with white gloved service! They can be contacted at 954-986-2275. Thanks again Tara and Rudy for entrusting me with capturing this wonderful day of your lives.

Brooke and Ted's Wedding (Vero Beach, Florida)

This month I had the pleasure of photographing Brooke and Ted's Wedding in Vero Beach, Florida. The ceremony and reception were held at the lovely Sea Oaks Beach Club. I was first contacted by Brooke in November last year when she found me online and she was so excited that she was able to book me because I was at the top of her list of preferred photographers. I was very touched by her enthusiasm and looked forward to her big day. I journeyed out to Vero Beach January this year to meet them and to check out the venue. Brooke, Ted, and Brooke's parents could not have been any more welcoming and hospitable as I visited their home and venue. The big day came this month and it was beautiful and creative in so many ways. The little bare-footed flower girls were precious in their little beach dresses, floral headpieces, and umbrellas. The ring bearer was adorable. We enjoyed upbeat singing and music from Kricket and Linda from the group "Rosemary" as they played their fiddle and guitar to such songs as Morrison's Jig. Their booking agent is Len Turner who can be contacted at LTEmusic@aol.com. The M&M chocolate souvenirs with their pictures, wedding date, and text were unique and delicious! :-) One of the highlights of the day was when the couple started off with a traditional dancing routine to Audrey Hepburn's wistful rendition of Moon River and then they surprised the audience by switching to their break out choreographed dance to the song playing for this slideshow, Let's Stick Together by Brian Ferry. It was FABULOUS! Go Brooke and Ted! :-)
