Melissa and Georges Wedding Sneak Peak

This wedding was very special to me because having photographed Melissa 3 separate days before the wedding (for their 2 part engagement session and cough, cough steamy boudoir/lingerie session as a surprise album for Georges), Melissa and Georges became one of those clients turned friends. So, I was preparing myself that I would get a little choked up when I would finally see them getting married. I did get a bit choked up and smiled on like an approving parent when I finally saw them tie the knot! :-) Here are just a few pictures to wet your appetite. The picture of the bridal party represent how I felt too :-) Stay tuned for their full Catholic wedding and MUY CALIENTE reception. Hats off as always to the diva of beach themed weddings, Sherry Carey and the amazing team from www.chainofeventsbahamas.com for the amazing decorations they coordinated with the couple!!! I highly recommend them for your event without any hesitation! Looking forward to sharing their slideshow! :-)

"Happily Ever After" Bridal Event (Palm Beach Gardens, Florida)

This past Sunday, I was honored to be the featured vendor for photography at the Happily Ever After bridal event at The Gardens Mall! The event was held in association with Weddings Illustrated luxury magazine and The Gardens Mall. We started off with a fashion show featuring gowns from Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon (www.baciobacio.com). After which, guests were invited to visit wedding vendors in 18 participating stores. I was placed in the classy Al Stephens Salon (www.alstephens.com). His staff did a fabulous job doing the hair and make-up for the models at the show! Al and his staff were very friendly and helpful to me! Special thanks to my former client, Tanya (Paris and Venice Bridal Sessions) for traveling 1.5 hours to assist me! Special thanks also to videographer, Marvin Joseph (www.infinityvideosolutions.com) and his adorable son for this assistance! Thanks a lot to my brother, Bruce for his help! I was pleasantly surprised to see one of my 2011 clients, Lisa there to support me as well! Thanks Lisa! :-)

Bridal Boudoir Session

Hi everyone! :-) Today, I enjoy sharing with you some pictures from a recent bridal boudoir/lingerie session. Add some passion and sizzle to knock your husband's socks off for your wedding, wedding anniversary, birthday, Valentine's Day or just for a surprise! I immediately loved the room the first time that I saw it because it had the stereotypical vintage honeymoon room look. I took the opportunity to enjoy capture the feel of romantic pictures throughout the ages including victorian, burlesque, playboy, 1940's-1950's pinup, french maid, and other styles and custom edited them accordingly. Special thanks to event planner, Sherry Carey from www.chainofeventsbahamas.com for being my lighting assistant for the evening. We had a great time with the client playing music, changing outfits, and taking pictures. Pictures are being used for Shelly Edwards Photography with the permission of the client. Looking forward to taking your boudoir pictures! :-)
