Marjorie and Victor, Married!

Marjorie and Victor were married at the Hyatt, Ft. Lauderdale Pier 66. It was a stunning location for a wedding, and though the rain clouds were never far behind, Marjorie and Victor had a gorgeous celebration. Marjorie wore a beautiful latte gown and was a timeless and elegant bride. After exchanging vows, they celebrated high above Fort Lauderdale in the rotating tower of the Hyatt with their family and friends. Congrats Marjorie and Victor!

Family Portraits on the Beach

This extended family of 22 made their way from Birmingham, Alabama for a getaway in the keys and had the great idea of getting portraits done while on vacation. I can’t imagine a more beautiful family, and with the Moorings as a backdrop it was perfect. Here is a glimpse....

Dog Days of Summer

Over Memorial Day we escaped the busy streets of Miami and headed south to my favorite hideaway in the keys, Islamorada. As it was a bit of a last minute trip we were very lucky to find somewhere to stay during the holiday and incredibly lucky that our friend Alison (one of my former brides) offered to take Axl in for a doggy vacation. We had a great weekend and I had a great time celebrating my birthday on Sunday at one of my favorite restaurants, Morada Bay of the Moorings.
We were lucky enough to spend some time on the beach with Axl and his friends Molly and Arthur. Nothing quite like the dog days of summer!

An Asian Inspired Affair

Here is a glimpse of a wedding I shot a couple weeks ago with my friend Joriann. It was a beautiful and colorful wedding that featured a traditional tea ceremony before the church ceremony. I loved the vibrant colors...

Maria and Henrique, Married!!

Maria and Henrique were married in at St. Justin Church in Key Largo followed by a beautiful reception at Pierre’s of the Moorings Village. Maria was a stunning bride, and I adore her style. She has a mild obsession with J Crew and bought her shoes and wedding dress there... (which I loved)!! I pretty sure that if anyone is sponsored by J Crew, Maria is. Her details were simple and tatseful, with baskets of daisies and small candles decorating Pierre’s table.
Henrique looked very handsome wearing a black tux. I loved the black tie affair mixed with the relaxing ambiance of the keys. With their friends and family from all over the globe they had one loud, happy and very classy celebration. I’m so happy for Maria and Henrique and I can’t wait to hear all about your hawaiian honeymoon!! Congrats!

Cambry and her little ones...

Cambry asked me to shoot her and her two little ones, Amelie and Kai. After the shoot Cambry told me she was feeling bummed because the shoot hadn’t gone as she expected, Kai running all over the beach and digging in the sand furiously, Amelie a little moody and sometimes resistant. Then she commented on how we captured her TRUE relationships with her kids, and the real spirit of her family.
My hope with any portrait session, whether it be kids, engagement, or wedding is to capture the connections between people and the true emotions that surround them.
While Cambry for a moment my have hoped that they both had sat quietly, folded their hands, and said cheese, I know she’ll see that this is so much better...

Susan and Robert, Married!

Susan and Robert married at Vizcaya in Miami. The london based couple planned such a stunning wedding that incorporated both Susan’s Asian heritage and Robert’s Polish heritage. Vizcaya is a stunning piece of historic Miami, and makes an incredible backdrop for a wedding. Susan designed her own bouquet that was made by Flowers Unlimited, and it is definitely the most unique bouquet I have ever shot, I love it! Susan had he makeup done by none other than Tatiana, (who is amazing!) and they had musicians from AA Music. Congrats to the newlyweds, have an amazing honeymoon!!

Sarah and Todd, Married!!

I apologize in advance for this incredibly long blog post, however, once you see the bride, groom and location, I think you will understand. Anyone who has read this blog before knows how much I LOVE Islamorada and Pierre’s of the Moorings. It is simply gorgeous and makes my job so easy and puts the couple in the best mood.
Sarah and Todd are adorable, genuine and from Ohio! (I actually meet with her in Cincinnati while visiting Chad when he was finishing school there). They were such a pleasure to work with and I think that everyone there found themselves wiping their eyes on several occasions. Congrats to the newlyweds and I hope to see you both next time I’m in Ohio!
