Ana & Javier, Married!!

I can't even begin to say enough about this stunning couple from Ecuador. Not only did they do the bulk of the planning for this wedding in a few short months, but they planned a lovely and charming event. Ana is so sweet and was beyond gorgeous on her wedding day. She wore a custom made gown from Ecuador with a cathedral length veil, and as you can see she was breathtaking and so much fun to photograph! Javier's suit was also custom made and I loved the three piece look, so classic. They got ready at the Mondrian Hotel in South Beach which is an ultra chic and ultra modern hotel making it perfect for a first meeting and portraits. A vintage white Rolls Royce drove Ana to the church, and after an intimate ceremony the couple hosted over 150 guests at the Mother of the Bride's home. It was truly a romantic and lovely evening. Thanks so much to Monica of International Event Design, Chad for second shooting, and Ana and Javier who were truly a pleasure to work with! Enjoy French Polynesia!

The Miami Half Marathon.. again!

It is that time of year again that once again I strapped on my running shoes and stood in the dark at 6:00 am with 18,000 other crazy people to run 13 miles through Miami Beach. This is the fourth year in a row that I have run the Miami Half Marathon and the third year that my mom has run it with me. Each year I am so inspired by the energy and all the types of people that run... young, old, big, small, disabled, you name it. Though my legs would like to say a few words of their own today, we had a blast! I didn't bet my time from last year, but I finished in 1 hour and 47 minutes (three minutes off my goal). Somehow after the pain of it all, the races are addicting and I'm already looking for the next one. I've gotta do something about those 3 minutes!

Chad and his dad came to watch us finish (thanks guys!!), I'm there in the purple...
