Sophia and Brian's Wedding (Orlando, Florida)

This wedding really stood out for me, not only because of the lovely couple, fabulous attire, beautiful vibrant flowers, and the golf course setting, but because the groom went the extra mile to surprise the bride with getting her wish photographer, me! :-) Sophia had contacted me last year to inquire about my services but that was that, we still communicated with her talking about weddings she had liked that I did, but no booking. Brian on the other hand, knew how much Sophia wanted my services so he contacted me privately and hired me :-) I started to feel like a couple on the wedding day about to see each other walking down the isle because I kept wanting to see the look on Sophia's face the first time she would see me at their wedding. I hid the camera in front of my face and walked slowly into the room and kept snapping and pulled the camera from my face to see her surprise :-) You will see it in the slideshow below. Due to the rain, the ceremony had to be switched from outdoors to indoors. Everyone was kept warm with the love that emanated from the couple :-) It was great seeing Sophia move from the university freshman I knew when we lived on the same dorm to the woman giving her hand in marriage to the fun, kind-hearted man that loves her immensely! After the ceremony the clouds parted and we went outside for some fun shots. Sophia and Brian, thanks a lot for allowing me to share in your big day! I wish for you all the love and happiness that a lifetime of marriage brings! :-)

Summer at the Movies: 1800's to the Present

Hi everyone! :-)

I know it's been some time since you've last heard from me. July was unusually slow so I made the most of the opportunity to balance things out and go swimming, playing the piano, relaxing in the sauna, fulfill some business goals, and just had a great time while preparing for the fast pace of August. Just this past week, I shot Saturday night, Sunday, Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday! It was all absolutely wonderful though as it covered some amazing couples with some amazing themes capturing the essence of the 1800's and 1950's in Jamaica and Palm Beach, Florida. I've chosen to post 2 pictures from each couple's wedding, post wedding, and engagement shoot to give you a sneak preview as I have to create slideshows from a selection of thousands of images captured. Until then, do enjoy and have a wonderful weekend! :-)
