Last week I spent the afternoon
with my friend Aria at her home in Hollywood. Aria is
a contestant on the The Next Food Network Star
that debuts on June
6th. It is no surprise that she is taking the
world by storm as she is one of the sweetest,
genuine people I know, and a damn good cook! Check
out more from her shoot on our facebook page, and don't forget to watch her

Jeni & Seth's engagement session

I'm so excited to be heading out the door for
Jennifer and Seth's destination wedding this weekend

their engagement session in Miami, can't wait to be
back with images from their wedding... Have a great
weekend!
Maria & Andy, Married!
Mar/31/10 11:29 AM
For the second time
this month we had the opportunity to drive south and
trade in the hustle and traffic of Miami for the slow
relaxed beat of the Keys. Maria and Andy hosted their
wedding at the luxurious Hawks Cay Resort and Spa
on Duck Key. Maria
looked stunning in a flowing gown from Coral
Gables Bridal and had the most amazing makeup done
by Daniela of MAC (daniela0515@hotmail.com
305-801-3676), really girls, call her!
Events by Mariel coordinated the day perfectly
down to the last detail and added amazing touches
to the already beautiful location. After cocktails
at a lagoon side lounge guests were treated to an
energetic party in the waterfront ballroom where
parasols hung from the ceiling. Congrats Maria and
Andy!

Nadja & Tyson's Wedding Portraits
Mar/26/10 12:02 PM
Before eloping in the
islands Nadja and Tyson joined me for some wedding
portraits on the beach. They are such a stunning
couple and so clearly head over heels in love. The
weather, the beach and the light couldn't have been
any better, it was simply beautiful...
A Vizcaya Engagement.. Andrea & Ariel
Mar/08/10 09:34 PM
I'm headed out this
morning on a 6 AM flight (ouch!) to Vegas for WPPI
and then my bachelorette party and then to Northern
Nevada for a little wedding planning... yeah!!! I
apologize in advance if the blog slows to a crawl
while I am gone, but I'll be back soon!
Until then, here is a glimpse of Andrea & Ariel's engagement session from this weekend at Vizcaya Gardens in Miami. I can't wait until their keys wedding in April, aren't they adorable!?

Mackenzie & Keys, Married!
Mar/08/10 07:18 PM
Hawks Cay, and island
oasis nestled on Duck Key in the heart of the Florida
Keys, played host to Mackenzie and Keys (insert
namesake irony joke here...) wedding. The photos of
the location speak for themselves, the resort is
gorgeous, relaxing, and fun to shoot! We started with
portraits dockside at the marina while groups of
friends cheered on the couple to be. Shortly after
5:00 the couple met in front of 75 guests as perfect
March weather laid the framework for the perfectly
simple ceremony. Mackenzie and Keys had a small yet
elegant waterfront ceremony complete with white
gazebo and flip flops that epitomized the "Keys"
feel. The couple said their vows and then set off to
enjoy cocktails around a stone fire pit and later
enjoyed local faire amongst family and friends in the
resort's unique octagonal reception hall. The night's
festivities were soon capped by mini key lime pies
and drinks at the bar. I have to say their wedding
was a perfect example of simplistic elegance at its
best. Congratulations to the newlyweds!

Ana & Javier, Married!!
Feb/16/10 06:13 PM
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!
So romantic, so beautiful...
The stunning cake by the one and only Ana Paz.

Ann & Eric, Married!
Jan/07/10 02:37 PM
With a twist of modern
details and traditional ceremonies Ann and Eric tied
the knot by candlelight in Aventura, Florida. Ann was
absolutely stunning and even barred the unusually
cold temperatures to shoot on the beach, she was
truly a superhero. Both Ann and Eric added a bit of
personality to their ensemble with stylish shoes
(blue for Ann and Jordans for Eric!). The reception
was nonstop dancing and the Music Machine band rocked the house. Congrats
Ann & Eric!

Dec/31/09 07:41 AM
I can't quite swallow
that today is New Years Eve and tomorrow is 2010. It
has been an incredible year, and also incredibly
quick! I've had so much to be thankful for in 2009,
and am so excited to see what 2010 brings. It's gonna
be a good one, I can feel it!
I thought I'd take a moment a look back at a few of my favorite images from 2009...

Lynette & Ryan, Married!
Dec/16/09 10:41 AM
Lynette and Ryan had
such a gorgeous wedding at Pierre's of Islamorada. I think the
details of a wedding can truly change everything
about the event, and Lynette knocked hers out of
the park. From her understated, flowing
JCrew gown, to the flower perched in
her hair, her grandmothers vintage necklace and
simply divine flowers, she had everything wedding
dreams are made of. Not to mention the always
stunning Moorings of Islamorada as a backdrop.
From North Carolina, Lynette and Ryan couldn't be
any sweeter or more down to earth. Their guests
brought their southern charm (and accents) as well
and created a buzz of happiness that surrounded
their nuptials. It was a complete pleasure.
Congrats!
When we imagine our groom seeing us for the first time, I think this is what we hope for...
loving this...
These bouquets are simply stunning....

Ashlee and Kenny, Married!
Oct/02/09 02:15 PM
This last week Chad and
I headed out to Nevada to shoot my dear friend Ashlee
and Kenny's wedding. I have known Ashlee for ages and
couldn't be happier to be apart of her day. They had
a gorgeous, sunny afternoon and wed in the pasture at
Ashlee's parents property in Gardnerville, Nevada.
After the they exchanged vows their guests danced to
country music, sat around fire pits, and drank beer.
It was a warm, heartfelt country affair with kids,
dogs, horses and plenty of tears. Ashlee made a
stunning bride (which none of us ever doubted) and
complimented her gorgeous ivory gown with her
favorite cowboy boots. She also made her own
centerpieces (for 312 guests, wow!) and they made a
donation in their guests honor to their favorite
charity Catch-A-Dream. You are a beautiful couple,
congratulations!!
My mom did Ashlee's makeup which looked fantastic!
Love the thumbs up!

Boudoir....
Sep/08/09 01:53 PM
My fab photographer
friend Nicole of Bedroom Eyes Boudoir has a marathon
shoot coming up at the end of September (meaning a
full 2 days of boudoir sessions, champagne, makeup
and lingerie!). For those ladies looking for some
sexy shots, check out here for more information (head to
her blog). Sounds like it’s going to be a blast!
The Manzardos
Aug/11/09 12:16 PM
While the Manzardo’s
were vacationing in the Florida Keys at
the Moorings, I drove down to take a few
family portraits as well as portraits of one of
their sons, Andrew. Andrew is a talented
guitarist, singer and songwriter. At the age of
17, he has already recorded 6 songs that he wrote!
Impressive right? They will be launching his
myspace page soon so keep and eye out to download
his music (you will find it under Andrew
Manzardo). I’ll be sure to blog when it comes out
as well!
Here is Andrew and August, can we say ‘brotherly love’?

Jen and Mike Featured on Style Me Pretty!
Aug/10/09 04:34 PM
I have always been such
a HUGE fan of Style Me Pretty, it is a must on every bride’s
list of blogs to get your daily dose of wedding
inspiration! Abby of Style Me Pretty was kind
enough to feature Jen and Mike as Jen did an
AMAZING job with each detail of her wedding. You
definitely should check it out! Thanks Style Me
Pretty!!
The Forzani's...
Aug/10/09 09:34 AM
One of my brides and
good friend Ashlee (who is getting married in
September) gave her sister and maid of honor, Jennie
a portrait session with me for all of her hard
wedding work. So sweet! Jennie and her husband Peter
have two adorable children. We shot at their home in
Nevada while I was there and had a great time
exploring their fields. I can’t wait to see these two
rugrats all dressed up at the wedding!!
Jen and Mike, Married!
Aug/06/09 02:02 PM
I can’t even begin to
express what a joy it was to photograph the wedding
of Jen and Mike. I was not only thrilled when Jen
asked me to shoot their wedding, but it is always so
wonderful to get back to Nevada. I have known Jen
since middle school and she has always been fun, full
of energy and has the most amazing style. Mike, who I
got to know leading up to the wedding, is the perfect
compliment to her, easygoing and sweet. Together they
had a gorgeous backyard wedding at their home in
Gardnerville, Nevada. The weather was perfect and
Jen’s sense of style did not disappoint. Before the
wedding Jen and Mike met in the field near their
house to see each other for the first time (always a
great moment!), then we loaded the bridal party up
and headed to several locations in the valley for
portraits (thanks to Bentley for allowing us to use
their wheat field!). Not only was the bridal party
fun and easygoing, but great looking! It was a fast
paced and fun day... Congrats Jen and Mike, I can’t
wait to see what great things come to you both!

Jen and Brian, Engaged!
Jul/28/09 02:17 PM
On Saturday I spent the
afternoon with Jen and Brian at Vizcaya Gardens for their engagement session. In
spite of it raining pretty much the entire shoot
(gotta love hurricane season!), we still managed
to have a great time. They are getting married in
December, can’t wait!
Dee and Abel, Married!
Jul/22/09 01:32 PM
On Saturday Dee and
Abel were joined by 6 family members and married at
sunset in Islamorada at Pierre’s. They had an intimate and
beautiful ceremony followed by dinner with their
family. Though I only spent four hours with them,
we were quickly making jokes and laughing together
as old friends. They are a charming and beautiful
couple, Congrats!

This weekend
Chad and I headed down to Islamorada to one of our
favorite spots, the Moorings. On Saturday I shot
Dee and Abel’s intimate wedding at
Pierre’s (coming soon!), and
then we relaxed and spent some time with our
friend and former bride Alison. Alison and Rick are expecting their
first child in September and we took a little bit
of time to capture Alison’s baby bump before
heading back to Miami. Here is Alison and Arthur
(the other love of her life)....
Baby Alicia
Jul/08/09 01:20 PM
It is the most amazing
thing to photograph someone’s wedding, be there on
their most important day, then see them start a
family. Ani and Xavier were married in February of
2008 and 6 months ago brought Alicia into the world.
Here is an image from their wedding in 2008.....
And here is their little bundle of joy! Congrats!

Courtney and Ethan, Married! Rehearsal Dinner and Photobooth
Jun/26/09 11:33 AM
Like many couples
having wedding with a large group of out of town
guests, Courtney and Ethan opted to include everyone
in the rehearsal dinner and host a welcome party the
night before their wedding. This is an option that I
am a huge fan of (we will be doing it at our
wedding!), it gives you more time with your guests,
allows you to catch up with everyone, so by the
wedding night you can just enjoy yourselves. They
also decided that to ‘break the ice’ they would have
a photo booth there as well. It is something we
started a couple years ago as an alternative to the
old fashioned photo booth. It is much more
affordable, and gives you a lot more freedom to
change the backgrounds, have props and get larger
groups in photos. They did a great job getting a
variety of props and after the cocktails started
flowing everyone had a blast!
A beautiful setting for the outdoor welcome party...

Courtney and Ethan were

They had amazing weather (in spite of being
hurricane season), a perfect setting, and a great
group of friends and family. Courtney was stunning
and together they are such an elegant and sweet
couple. Susan and Trish of Exquisite Details
planned the event
flawlessly (as always!). The details were great
and Chad and I had a blast shooting such a
beautiful wedding. Here is the first post, check

Little Reese
Jun/17/09 11:42 AM
Over the summer I shot
belly photos of my cousin Sara, and since have been
waiting to meet her baby. In September, little Reese
Ann was born and while in Nevada I finally got a
chance to meet her. She is so cute, super tall,
lanky, and is going to be my flower girl for my
wedding next summer! It was so great to hang out with
Reese and her mom and dad, I can’t wait to get them
all to Florida!
Jen and Mike, Engaged!
Jun/16/09 11:15 AM
While in Nevada I spent
the afternoon with Jen and Mike for their engagement
session. I have know Jen since we were kids and it
has been a blast getting back in touch with her
before I shoot their backyard wedding in August. Jen
and Mike are an energetic and fun couple, and Jen has
always had a playful and creative sense of style (I
can’t wait to see the wedding details!). In spite of
the rain clouds on our tails we had a great time
shooting at Jen’s parents house with their horse, Mic
and in the oldest town in Nevada, Genoa. I’m looking
forward to getting back out to Nevada for their
wedding, congrats!
Ashlee and Kenny, Engaged!
Jun/14/09 12:48 PM
While I was in Nevada
planing my wedding I spent some time with one my
greatest friends Ashlee and her fiance, Kenny. I have
been friends with Ashlee since I moved with my family
to the town of Gardnerville when I was about 12.
Ashlee is one of the kindest people I have ever
known. To no surprise, she met an amazing guy who
rivals her in both kindness and compassion. Ashlee
teaches special education mathematics at the middle
school level (wow!) and Kenny is a counselor at a
juvenile detention center (double wow!). They share
each others love of the outdoors, dogs, horses and
even hunting. I am so happy that they found each
other and now are getting married, I can’t wait!
It is always such a pleasure to photograph friends and family, and though I will be walking in Ashlee’s wedding I will have the honor of shooting it as well (it won’t be the first time I will be wearing two hats!). Luckily, at Ashlee’s wedding I’m pretty sure I can leave my heels at home and wear my cowboy boots. I can’t wait for her country celebration and to see them both walk down the aisle! Congratulations Kenny and Ashlee, I couldn’t be happier for you!
My favorite!
Their pack... Avery, Tuff and Leo.

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!

Dog Days of Summer
May/26/09 03:35 PM
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

Maria and Henrique, Married!!
May/13/09 02:02 PM
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!

Belly Shots

Safaa is expecting and I had the pleasure of
photographing her. I love doing belly shots, and I
can’t wait to meet her little girl!!
Cambry and her little ones...
May/06/09 09:34 AM
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!
May/04/09 10:47 AM
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!!

May/01/09 08:40 AM
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!
I LOVE these little bowls..

The Maui Bride
Apr/21/09 12:23 PM
While I was in Maui I
took advantage of the beautiful landscapes and shot
my friend Andrea in a beautiful dress compliments
of Wings Hawaii, located in gorgeous Haiku.
While mother nature was not exactly cooperative
(it rained most of the time)... we still managed
to have a great time and get some wonderful
images. Thanks to Andrea, Manya, and Wings for
your help!
And to any of my brides that are still looking for the perfect place to get married, Maui is the perfect setting for an exotic destination wedding!!

Maui, Hawaii
Apr/21/09 10:37 AM
Wow! Well, it has been
a whirlwind trying to get things back on track since
I have gotten back. I had some major computer issues
the end of last week, and so now, after several
purchases from apple (cha-ching), I am trying to get
my blogging caught up!
Words can’t even describe how beautiful Hawaii is, and in particular the area that my mom is living in near Paia. Simply gorgeous. Everyone is friendly, healthy, and tan! It is a small town with adorable shops and surrounded by the most amazing beaches. Here is just a glimpse...

Haiku, Hawaii
Apr/09/09 10:38 PM
I arrived on Tuesday to
Maui, Hawaii. My mom has just finished a massage
therapy program and I wanted a chance to get out to
see what she has been experiencing the last 6 months.
Hawaii is such a tropical, unique place that is
filled with different people all looking for a piece
of paradise. It has been so nice to take a break,
enjoy family, and relax. I didn't have a solid
internet connection to blog during the trip, and now
on my way home I will start to catch up, I have a lot
of beauty to share. Here's the first taken from
Baldwin Beach where we ran each morning..
The Wedding of Laura and James
Apr/06/09 09:57 PM
Last weekend Laura and
James married overlooking the beach at the
Jupiter Beach Resort.
Laura, who once
thought of herself as being 'awkward' in photos,
couldn't have shot more stunningly. They are a
beautiful couple, and there wasn't a dry eye
during the ceremony. With many family members in
from out of town, and out of the country (James is
from New Zealand), the wedding was filled with the
buzz of a destination wedding. It was a complete
pleasure to be apart of their day!
Tomorrow I will be heading to Hawaii until the 14th of April... funny enough, I will be on the same island, and in the same area as Laura and James on their honeymoon! Hope to see you there! Enjoy!

Marty Lowe specializes
in interior design and her work spans from world

opened a new office in downtown Fort Lauderdale right

Finally!! I apologize
as I have fallen behind on my blogging, so please
bear with me as I attempt to get caught up. We have
been very busy and I have lots of great things to
share... coming soon!
First, I returned to the Flower Bar (an amazing flower shop in Miami) last week and shot some of their recent creations that continue to amaze me. They are so creative, modern and simply beautiful. Each piece is truly a work of art. Here are some of my favorites..
Lastly, a lady slipper orchid (so cool!), and owner Alex's dog...

Maria and Henrique who will be marrying in May at
the Moorings in Islamorada (my favorite!).

Liz and Steve, Married!
Mar/13/09 08:00 AM
When I first meet with
Liz and Steve to discuss shooting their wedding, they
gave me a tour of their adorable 1920's florida
bungalow, and their backyard, that at the time
consisted of dirt, overgrown trees and an empty pool.
Their wedding was to be in 3 months, and would be
held in that very backyard.
On Saturday when I arrived for the big day, I couldn't believe my eyes. Fresh flowers, newly laid sod, and a bright sparkling pool that had been sprinkled with petals. It was lovely. Liz and Steve managed to turn a dirt lot with a tear down into one of the best wedding locations ever, and they did almost all the work themselves.
The do it yourself story continued when friends of Liz's and myself Aria and Paola of D'Lish (so.dlish@yahoo.com) stepped in to plan the wedding. Not only did they plan, but they created flower arrangements, made invites, favors, and Aria even baked the wedding cake!!
They had a wonderful guitarist named Leiah Sicilliano, Liz's hair was done locally at Aqua Salon of Ft. Lauderdale, and her makeup was done by her best friend's sister Loli Ponce.
The wedding was relaxed, beautiful and reminded us all the simplicity is stunning. To see the full slideshow click here. Congratulations Liz and Steve!
One of my favorite shots of the day. Immediately after the ceremony Liz and Steve steal a kiss.
The grand finale, Liz and Steve jumping into their new pool for the very first time.... !

Michelle and Russ, Rehearsal Dinner, Mexico
Mar/10/09 02:57 PM
I love that in the past
few years many couples are taking a rehearsal dinner
and turning it into a welcome party for everyone.
That is exactly what I hope to do with mine!
Michelle and Russ welcomed all their guests to Mexico with a Mexican buffet, mariachi band, and margaritas. They also chose to have me shoot the party as well. It was a great idea as there were many toasts and great moments throughout the night that will make a great addition to their album. Here is a glimpse...

Michelle and Russ were
married at the H10 Ocean Turquesa
in Cancun, Mexico.
They had a beautiful rooftop wedding, a cabana
pool side cocktail hour, followed by a rooftop
reception. We had perfect weather and everyone was
relaxed and in vacation mode, one of my favorite
things about destination weddings!!
Michelle and Russ I hope you enjoy your safari honeymoon, I can't wait to hear all about it! Here is their really long wedding post(I couldn't help myself), to see the full slideshow click here.... Enjoy!

traveled to Cancun to shoot Michelle and Russell's

patience!!
The Flower Bar
Feb/13/09 01:15 PM
Yesterday Alex, the
owner of The Flower Bar in Miami Shores asked me to come
shoot some of the arrangements they had created
for Valentines Day. Flower Bar has such a unique
style that after seeing a few arrangements I knew
they were perfect for my brides. They make
beautiful table arrangements that would be such a
decisive compliment to any wedding. They are
modern, tropical, and so wonderful to photograph!
I love all the use of orchids and how they were
able to pair them with so many other flowers. If
you haven't figured out what you are doing for
your flowers, check this out and get inspired...
These two plants have been grafted together... what a great symbol of two growing into one, love it!

Gabriella and Enrique, Jan. 24 2009, Married
Jan/28/09 09:32 PM
On Saturday,
Joriann and I shot the beautiful wedding
of Gabriella and Enrique. Not only was Gabriella
stunning, but they had such a great family, and it
was very clear that they were all about having a
great party to celebrate the occasion. I loved
shooting Gabby getting ready at her parents house,
so Father of the Bride, and such a wonderful
departure from hotel suites. Gabby and Enrique had
their reception at the PGA National in Palm Beach
complete with an hour of Carnival, an amazing
party! Congrats you two!!
Her makeup was stunning

her bouquet. It was a gorgeous day for a wonderful
couple, enjoy...
A New Year...
Jan/05/09 02:04 PM
Welcome to 2009!! The
holidays were amazing, spending them in Florida was
relaxing and filled with sun, football and company.
We ate too much, drank a little too much, and
welcomed the new year with fireworks, job well done.
The second day of 2009 I kicked it off with my first
wedding of the year, of Laura and Johnathan with my
friend Joriann. It was a beautiful day at
the Doral Golf Resort and Spa.
Each table had a different family photo...

Tiffany and Aaron, Married, The Trump International, Sunny Isles
Dec/29/08 10:40 AM
This past weekend, my
friend Joriann and I shot Tiffany and Aaron's
wedding at the Trump International
in Sunny Isles. It
is a great venue that is only minutes from where I
live and yet, it was my first wedding there. Right
on the beach, it has views of the ocean, the city
and the waterways. Tiffany and Aaron are one of
those couples that make shooting weddings truly a
dream come true. They were so relaxed all day, and
so obviously head over heels for one another. It
was such a pleasure to be their capturing their
day and I know they have a lifetime of happiness
before them. Have a great time in Hawaii you two,
Congrats!

It has been a crazy
December (as expected), and I am so behind!! I am
determined to get caught up over the next couple of
days, and will get you caught up on what has been
keeping me. In the meantime, last weekend I had the
privelage of shooting Nikki and Justin's wedding at
the Westing Dilpomat in Hallandale. Just days prior,
the groomsmen headed out for a manly round of golf
and took me along to document. Here they are... More
to come!!

Holiday Cards!?!
Nov/19/08 11:48 AM
Today I thought, like I
do every year at this time, ' I should really start
my Christmas card so I'm not scrambling last minute'.
And like every year, I continue on with whatever I
was doing before and don't think too much more about
it until December 1st, then December 15th, then the
Post Office announcing the Holiday Postal Deadline.
Procrastinate? Never!
So while I am going to attempt to get a jump start this year, (and stick to it), I thought I would remind all my clients as well, not to procrastinate! I know this year people are on a budget more than ever, and I think it is a great year to think about postcards (a low cost option), and using an image from your engagement session, your wedding, or your portrait session that we have already shot. Here are some ideas...

The Rolle Family Portrait Session
Nov/13/08 02:49 PM
The Rolle Family lives
in Texas but came into town for a wedding, and while
they were here decided to do some portraits. They are
such a beautiful family, I could have taken their
photographs all day! Jasmine, Raven, and Roman (their
children.. I love their names!) were adorable and
even little Roman was such a trooper (with some help
from Ironman bribes!
). We couldn't have asked for a
more beautiful day or sunset. It was such a
pleasure to meet you all, come back soon!

D'lish at the Fort Lauderdale Boat Show
Nov/03/08 04:35 PM
Two of my good friends
Paola and Aria recently combined their culinary
talents to form the event planning and catering
company they have named D'lish. They are off to a
quick start and have already begun catering many high
end events including this years Fort Lauderdale boat
show. The
boat show is always a huge event, and I swung by
their yacht to shoot some of their creations. They
can handle events large and small (including
weddings) and always have such a great way of
presenting all their dishes. If you are looking
for a catering or event planning you can reach

I shot Nicole and
Jeremy's wedding with the wonderful
Chris Joriann this weekend at
The Sunday House in Del Ray. I have been to the
Sunday House for Brunch (so good!) but never for a
wedding, and it was great! They have adorable
little cottages and a tropical paradise that is
great for smaller, intimate weddings. You would
have never known is was October though, no one got
the memo that Summer is supposed to be over, we
were all melting!! Nonetheless, Nicole was
stunning, and the whole wedding was beautiful..
Enjoy!

Amy and Billy were
married this last weekend in one of my favorite
places, Islamorada. Though it turned out to be a bit
of a wet day, it didn't dampen any of their spirits.
They had a beautiful ceremony at San Pedro's Church,
followed by a Pierre's reception. With a beautiful
bride, adorable little kids, and a gorgeous venue
the day was great. Check it out..
How cute are these guys!?!
Amy displayed photos from their parents weddings, love that!
Amy and Billy had more people spontaneously give speeches than I have ever seen, just shows how many people were really touched by their day.

Engstrom family at their home, Grassy Ridge Farm. I have been boarding my horse
at their farm for about a year now and they are
such a wonderful family. Both Amanda and Ross are
headed off to college and it was our last day to
sneak in portraits before the departures. We also
snuck them in just before it started down pouring,
gotta love the south florida summer!

Nevada we shot up on the beach of Lake Tahoe. She is
a total doll, and between dodging the sporadic
downpours we had a great time. Good luck in all your
upcoming endeavors Riana!
We also got some shots of her brother as well...

Jaime and Bob, Bridgeport, California, 7.12.08
Jul/22/08 05:15 PM
Jaime and Bob had an
amazing wedding at the Bridgeport Barn and Terrace
in Bridgeport,
California. Bridgeport is an amazing town near the
border of California and Nevada and very dear to
my heart, where I spent many of my summers
wrangling at the Hunewill Guest Ranch.
Jaime, also a former
wrangler and now a vet, is a good friend and I
have been close with her family for ages. Jaime
and Bob are such a fun couple and together they
have an amazing group of friends and family. Their
day was heartfelt, full of laughter, tears,
tequila, and country swing dancing. The ceremony
was set in front of green pasture with the
backdrop of the mountains and horses grazing in
the distance. The Barn and Terrace (though I have
been there many times it was the first wedding I
had seen there) was an amazing venue. The walls,
wood, fire-pits, flag, and location were perfect
and created a beautiful ambiance where everyone
was completely comfortable. Jaime and Bob kicked
off their first dance to an upbeat country song
and set the tone for the party that carried on
into the night with everyone of the guests
dancing. It was a great wedding, so amazing to see
so many old friends and so great to be apart of
their day. Congrats Jaime and Bob!

Lisa and Richard, The Moorings Islamorada, 7.10.08
Jul/21/08 10:13 AM
After my flight was
canceled I decided to take a detour and went to Las
Vegas for the night with my dad and saw Garth Brooks
in concert, so much fun and hands down the most
amazing show I have ever seen! I was great to hang
out in Sin City, but also so nice to be back in
Miami! I have lots to blog about. Starting with Lisa
and Richard...
They are a super sweet couple from South Carolina and were married on July 10th at the Moorings in Islamorada. They held the ceremony on the beach with the officiant and Lisa's sister and her husband present, no other guests. It was intimate, beautiful and very relaxed. It was great to spend the afternoon with them (makes me want to move to the south!), and we had plenty of time to shoot on the beautiful grounds and for them to enjoy their day.
Such great outfits!
I love this shot of Lisa in the banyan tree

Finally! Thailand-Koh Tao
Jul/10/08 01:24 PM
Koh Tao was obviously my favorite part
of the trip.. seeing thats where I got engaged! It
is considered the second top dive destination in
the world next to the Great Barrier Reef. It only
really began to be developed in the 1980's and
much of the island is still jungle and treacherous
dirt roads only accessible by dirt bikes. Even
more popular are the wooden banana boat taxis that
surround the island. The island is raw and
beautiful with clear turquoise waters. We stayed
in a bungalow at Sensi Paradise that was unreal. The people,
food, water, fish and beaches were incredible. I
can't wait to go back!

next day we cycled through the village.

firsthand was something else. They are incredible.
Elephants are very important to Thailand's history, spirituality, and economy. Unfortunately, like much of the incredible wildlife in this world they are suffering from habitat loss, illegal logging work and continued exploitation. The Conservation has become a safe haven for many of these amazing animals.

Thailand- Lamphang
Jul/08/08 07:48 AM
We took a crowded local
bus to the village of Lamphang. We stayed at
the Riverside
Guesthouse, which was, of course, on the
river. It is a simple, but beautiful collection of
dark wood rooms with orchids and thai decorations
in every corner. It hadn't taken us too long to
get used to sleeping in the heat with no AC, we
were pretty used to the constant sweating.
We got in town just in time to
catch the last bit of the local sunday market.
You could buy just about everything you can
imagine, and eat so much great food all for what
converts to pennies of a US dollar. We loved it!

Thailand-Sukhothai
Jul/08/08 07:29 AM
From Bangkok we left
with our group and headed by train up north to
Sukhothai. We stayed at a great guesthouse
called J & J. The next morning we were up
early and went cycling through the old city of
Sukhothai. We walked through the first kingdom of
thailand, and road our bikes through the small
streets that led from temple to temple.
J&J
We spent a lot of time traveling by songtaew.. pretty much in the back of s truck with two benches....
The old city
At one of our temple stops these locals were selling live eels, frogs and turtles. You bought them and let them go in the nearby lake. They say the turtle brought a long life, a frog brought a good job and the eel health.
We wanted to buy them all to let them go, but in the end we set this turtle free...

Thailand- Bangkok
Jul/07/08 09:48 AM
After over 24 hours we
arrived in Bangkok in the middle of the night. We
stayed at an adorable boutique hotel called
the Old Bangkok Inn in the heart of Bangkok. It had
great dark wood loft rooms, and served an amazing
breakfast with all sorts of local fruit.
The next day we walked the city and headed to the Grand Palace. It was gorgeous..
That night we moved to a new hotel in the backpacker district of Bangkok. We walked Khao San Road which is full of street vendors, tourists, Thais, dogs, everything you can imagine.. and a little crazy! The first 8 days of our trip we traveled with a company called Intrepid Travel, we had a great group of 12 people from Ireland, Australia, England, and Canada and a super cool guide from Thailand we called Ben (her nickname). We meet everyone that night.

Back from Thailand!
Jul/07/08 09:28 AM
I am finally back from
Thailand! Thanks so much for everyones patience while
I have been gone, but now it is back to business as
usual!
As you may have guessed I took so many images on the trip, so for the next few days I will be blogging the images from each day.. so get ready!
Along with the images I will fill you in to the details of the journey, but I will fast forward and let you know that while we were in the island of Koh Tao Chad popped the question, and I'm engaged! It was a beautiful island (you will see), it is a beautiful ring, and I couldn't be happier. Soon I will know what all my brides go through firsthand when it comes to planning.. can't wait!
Enjoy!

Christinia and Anthony, Palm Beach 6.7.08
Jun/17/08 11:30 PM
Christinia and Anthony
were married at the Saint Mark Greek Orthodox Church
followed by a reception at the Ritz Carlton in Palm
Beach. I shot this wedding for Jon Scott, and it was actually my first
greek orthodox wedding and I loved it! I was only
disappointed no one threw any plates on the ground
(ha! I don't think the Ritz would have liked
that!). The ceremony was amazing, and I loved the
bubbles as they ran out of the church! Christinia
and Anthony are a beautiful couple, that seemed to
fit one another flawlessly. It was a beautiful
day, check it out....
Liz and Patrick, Ironstone Vineyards, Murphys California, 5.31.08
Jun/05/08 02:37 PM
Liz and Patrick tied
the knot at Ironstone Vineayrds,
in Murphys
California. The winery is nestled in the Sierra
Foothills, in the heart of California's Gold Rush
Country. It is family owned, off the beaten path-
and well worth the trek. Mother nature must have
known about the wedding because after a rainy,
cold week, the skies opened up to perfect sunshine
and wonderful temperatures. The setting of the
ceremony was breathtaking under the large trees
and a small stream separating the guests and
bridal party. Right after saying I do, the
newlyweds were picked up by a beautiful team of
horses (Ned and Nate) and swept off. I love
weddings with horses!
We couldn't have been given a more beautiful day. Liz and Patrick were very relaxed throughout the entire day, and Liz couldn't stop smiling. The reception was great, with Ironstone's wines atop the tables, and the party even sang along to Garth Brooks. They also had a bar of candy set up with little paper bags for you to scoop candy into. It was in large glass bowls as well as big lollipops placed into grass, it was a great idea and I loved how it looked. I hope to be back at Ironstone soon, it was truly a pleasure. Congrats to Liz and Patrick! Here is some of our day...
This shot cracks me up.. they are looking at the garter like it is the plague.. who says men are afraid of commitment?

Paola and Jeremy's Wedding, Mexico City, 5.24.08
May/28/08 05:13 PM
Paola and Jeremy,
5.24.08. Their wedding was at Paola's father's ranch,
Rancho La Rosarita, just outside of Mexico City.
Paola and Jeremy have been great friends of Chad and
I for a few years now, and somehow it seems that just
yesterday they were getting engaged.
After spending a wonderful few days at Paola's mother, Lili's house, (who graciously opened her home to 5 girls and a baby!), the wedding arrived. Seeing that I was a bridesmaid, I did have certain duties, such as getting to the beauty salon at 8am (ahh!), and helping to make sure things went off without a hitch... and I couldn't help but shooting too!
Paola and Jeremy are both graduates from the Culinary Institute of America (where they meet), so hospitality is literally their business. They flawlessly blended the Mexican and Jewish traditions, ranch surroundings and timeless elegance, and gourmet hors d'oeuvres to midnight mexican. With over 235 people, some speaking english, some spanish, everyone melted together and it was a hoping fiesta. They even had a mechanical bull, and if it couldn't get better, Paola rode on it in her gown!
I had such a great time and loved being a guest at a wedding. It also did happen to be my birthday (yippee!), and I couldn't have asked for a better way to spend it, drinking and dancing with people I love, it will be a tough act to follow next year! Here are a few of my favorite images from the day, Enjoy!
A little later in the night.... Chad, Paola, and Jeremy on the bull! So cool!

Orly and Devin, Ritz Carlton, 5.10.08
May/19/08 09:00 AM
Orly and Devin were
married at the Ritz Carlton on Saturday and I shot their
wedding for Jon Scott. The weather was great, Orly
looked amazing and everything went smoothly. Both
Orly and Devin broke down to tears several times
throughout the day, including Devin when he saw
Orly for the first time. They are so in love! It
was great to be apart of a couples day who had
such a strong respect and love for each other,
Congrats!
Francis and Heath, The Boca Resort, 5.9.08
May/16/08 10:53 AM
Francis and Heath were
married at the Boca Resort on May 9th. I shot this
stunning wedding for Chris Joriann. It was so much fun, Francis and
Heath are a gorgeous couple and as we learned
throughout the day, truly compliment one another.
She did a great job with the details of the
wedding, and it was the first time that I had seen
cherry blossoms used in the flowers and completely
loved it! I lived in Japan for a couple of years
growing up and always loved the cherry blossom
trees. Check it out...
Is that not the redest hair you have ever seen??

Karlene and Matt
May/09/08 08:07 AM
Karlene and Matt were
married at St. Jude Catholic Church and had their
reception at Del Ray Beach Marriott. I was shooting
their wedding for Jonathan Scott , and couldn't have landed a
sweeter couple.
They had a blast throughout the entire day, and had a energy packed reception. Karlene is from Trinidad so many of her relatives had made the trip. Judging from Karlene and her family, I came to the conclusion that Trinidad must have some of the most beautiful woman in the world, it was like attending a beauty pageant (and you should have seen them dance)! With over 315 people attending the celebration, during the party, somehow almost all of them were on the dance floor. Super fun, great smiles, and great luck to you both, though, I don't think you'll be needing it!!
What a sight!
Karlene could dance like you can't believe! In fact ALL the women in her family could, it was amazing!

Jessica and Brian had a
beautiful wedding at the American Orchid Society
in Del Ray. It was a

great attention to all the details to give it the
final touch. I loved the table pieces, and the
outdoor reception, check it out...
Paola and Jeremy's kinda wedding, Key Biscayne
May/04/08 01:29 PM
Yes,
it was Paola and Jeremy's KINDA wedding. Paola and
Jeremy are great friends of mine that will be tying
the knot on May 24th in Mexico City. My boyfriend,
Chad and I have the pleasure of being in the wedding
party and can't wait! However, they decided to get
hitched here before going to Mexico just for the
legality aspect to avoid any issues. What started out
as a trip to the courthouse turned into a super
casual family ceremony on the beach followed by a
BBQ. So, it was their wedding, kinda.
Here are some shots from the afternoon in Key Biscayne, I can't wait for the huge wedding in Mexico, watch for those images on May 24th.. even though I will have bridesmaid duties, you know I will be sneaking in some photos! Congrats guys!
I love this shot!
Jeremy and his Dad
Jeremy and Paola's buddies from the Coast Guard even did a fly by!

Alison and Rick, The Moorings, Isalmorada, Florida
Apr/18/08 12:13 AM
Alison and Rick were
married at Pierre's at The Moorings in Islamorada. I have been
looking forward to their wedding for so long it
was great to finally have it here. The weather was
perfect, the Moorings were gorgeous as always, and
Alison and Rick were so relaxed. It couldn't have
been a smoother day.
There was a lot of emotion in the air, and tears flowing from beginning to end. It was truly flawless, from Arthur's (a huge black Newfoundland, and Alison's second love) surprise appearance at the ceremony, a beautiful sunset, to first rate fireworks over the ocean, nothing was overlooked. The wedding had a great flavor, from beachy keys to elegant and royal. Rick and Alison are such a sweet couple, I couldn't have had a better bride and groom to work with. And to make it even better, near the end of the night we opened a Photo Station to take portraits of the guests and everyone had such a great time with it... rubber fish, flamingos, hats and all. Thanks so much to Nicole and Katie who second shot, you were great! Rick and Alison, enjoy Italy and all the great pasta and wine!!
A little preview from the Photo Station...
Amazing Fireworks!

Scottsdale, Arizona
Apr/06/08 11:49 PM
I have been in
Scottsdale since Sunday (and just now blogging, so
sad!) I have been super busy and have finally sat
down to share some of my surroundings. It has been a
great break from the oppressive humidity that rules
Miami, however I hear it does reach 115 degrees in
the summer! Yikes! Thank goodness it is April!
Scottsdale is a great little town, with lots of art, restaurants, and of course, the desert... love the desert!
The Salt River..
I was walking through town, and there was a dog fashion show going on. Hilarious! Runway and everything..
We shot this car in the desert, what a beauty!
I hiked Camelback Mountain on Saturday. It was amazing!

Wellington WEF Horse Show
Mar/25/08 11:00 PM
For those who don't
know, my other passion in life (besides photography)
has always been horses. I spend most of my off days
with them, and many of those days this time of the
year up at the show in Wellington. Right now some of
the most talented horses in the world are competing
in Wellington, and great to watch. Here are a few
images from the show.
A little nap between classes.
The first two images are Amanda on Ricky from my barn, Grassy Ridge Farm. The last images is one of the Grand Prix horses, crazy!

Sara and Mark, Coral Springs, 3.1.08
Mar/13/08 04:02 PM
I can not say enough
about this couple, except I don't think that I have
laughed that much at a wedding yet. Sara and Mark,
were so much fun! They were so relaxed and
comfortable, that it seemed they had no doubts or
worries in their minds the whole day. Both Sara and
Mark have great senses of humor and I don't doubt
that they will spend much of their marriage in
laughter.. I can't think of anything better! I shot
this wedding for my friend Jonathan and
Jon Scott
Photography, and I am so glad I had the
opportunity, it was a blast!
And you thought the bride was the only one who had trouble getting into those dresses!

Emily and Joel are
young, beautiful, and clearly in love. Their wedding
was so great to shoot, you could feel the buzz in the
air. I shot this wedding for my friend Marjorie,
at Chris Joriann
Photography, and am so glad I had the
opportunity!! By the end of the night, my face
hurt from smiling, guess I was smiling behind the
lens all day! I hard a great time with them, you
couldn't take a bad image of these two...
The girls were so cute.. they all showed up in jammies... I love it!
And any girl getting married, these are the coolest shoes ever. They are dancing shoes (super comfy), but made for a wedding. They even have the rough leather on the bottom so you don't slip!
Such a proud Dad!
I loved this dress!
And I did have a bit of competition!! Can you say Paparazzi?
Joel going for the garter... WOW!

Mar/09/08 11:02 PM
Kelli and Eric had an
intimate ceremony in Palm Beach on Friday. Kelli was
a beautiful bride, and somehow was able to plan the
wedding in under a week, Superwoman! I am sure many
women spending months in planning are reading this in
envy! The sunset was beautiful, and Eric's mom
performed the ceremony... I felt very privileged, I
was the only person in attendance that wasn't family!
Thanks for letting me be apart of your day!!
This is Harley. Not only does she have a super cool name (I'm a huge Harley Davidson fan!), but what a face..
This is Kelli's cutie, what a ham.. and a runner!!
CONGRATS!

Kiss and Show it!
Sep/13/07 01:07 PM
Party Party!! Last
night was the Kiss and Showit Bash for everyone here at
PartnerCon in Los Angeles. Super Fun!!! Some free
booze, dancing girls, and yes, a photo booth!! I
love photo booth! Every wedding I shoot is now
required to have one... (well not exactly, but
would be cool right?). I think that I when I hit
the lottery I will get three of them and put them
all over my house....
Was a great party, we sported our Kiss hats (they did ensure free drinks).
Here we are (Sara, Myself, Liana, and Nicole)
Kevin Swan and the Girls!
And they had the coolest dancer, she did her whole routine with a hula hop. Sounds strange, but actually was pretty hot. I think that Britney Spears should give it a try.....
Booze, Music, Props, Lots of Photographers, and a Photo Booth... Hilarious!!
Yup.. we are big dorks, its been confirmed.

Welcome to Los Angeles!!!
Sep/12/07 02:41 PM
After waking up very
early, we (Nicole Kent & I) boarded a plane in Fort
Lauderdale to Los Angeles to go to Pictage Partner
Conference. It is my first conference and I am so
excited to experience it as well as help
out Liana Lehman, (who we just spent time with
at Photo Biz Bootcamp in Atlanta).
After such an easy trip, we arrived at the hotel ready to go. We got the booth set up and started to see swarms of photographers in the hotel (somehow they all have a look!). I have already meet so many great people and spent the afternoon catching up on Liana's educational DVD's so I knew what to talk about today, and learn a thing or too!
We got our booth ready, I have already listened to a speaker, gotten completely motivated, and realized again how much I enjoy this type of stuff. I am on information overload, again... ahhhh!!
It is a great thing though!
Here Nicole and I are at our booth...
