Kari & Joe Tie the knot!!!

February 23, 2010 at 7:47pm Posted in A day in the life of JohnPaul and Elizabeth

Kari & Joe’s wedding was absolutely BEAUTIFUL! Their location for both the ceremony and reception was at a hidden little treasure in Ft. Lauderdale called the Bonnet House. Family from up North traveled down to sunny South Florida to not only enjoy our beautiful weather, but to celebrate the union of Kari & Joe’s love for one another! From the getting ready’s to the partying, everything was fabulous. A couple of months ago, when we went to the Bonnet House with Kari and Joe we learned that the gardens have little Brazilian Squirrel Monkeys, we wanted them to make a special appearance for the wedding, but they did not, they must have been camera shy! Check out this sneak peak of their wedding!

Patty & Gabriel Say “I Do”

February 20, 2010 at 1:34am Posted in All Weddings

Patty and Gabriel had a beautiful wedding at Coral Gables Congregational Church and Douglas Entrance. Their reception was full of surprises from Patty’s little sister Cristina giving a beautiful speech, with one of the most beautiful poems I’ve ever heard, to Gabriel attempting to get the garter with Patty’s dad, grandpa and uncles guarding her, then Gabriel having to throw the garter belt three separate times…. to “La Hora Loca” fully equipped with, feathers, masks, confetti, Samba dancers and men on stilts partying with the crowd! I hope this amazing couple has a blast in their honeymoon to our favorite place on the planet (Hawaii) I offered to go in their luggage, but we agreed I wouldn’t get passed TSA! Hope you enjoy this sneak peak of some of their images!!!

Tamara & Jaime Say “I Do”

February 11, 2010 at 2:58pm Posted in All Weddings

We were there to capture Tamara and Jaime’s special day. Although they did not do an E Session (which helps us break the ice with couples before the wedding,) we still had great chemistry with this wonderful couple! Jaime is a photographer, so his appreciation for the art of photography made our jobs sooooo much easier! We also had a great time photographing their bridal party and guests…. check out the guys AIRBORNE in one of the below photographs. Congratulations guys…. we had a blast being a part of your special day!

Anais & Paul say “I Do”

February 10, 2010 at 9:53am Posted in All Weddings * Anais & Paul

Anais and Paul came to us about a year ago and we are happy to say we not only gained great clients, but amazing friends as well. There is never a dull moment when Paul is around …. he let us in on a little secret about the ceremony on what he was going to do when they pronounced them man and wife…. As you can imagine Anais was freaking out, but I assured her it would be funny and nothing too crazy …. well come the day of the wedding, when they said you may now kiss your bride, Paul reaches into his jacket and pulls out a breath spray…lol, classic! They had an amazing ceremony, where Anais’ dad sang (and I swear the man can be one of the three tenors!) and a fun filled reception! Check out a preview of some of their images!

Danielle & Michael’s HOT E Session

February 8, 2010 at 11:59pm Posted in All Engagement Sessions * Danielle & Michael

Danielle and Michael came to us and our friends at Free Mind Studios with a concept for their E Session photos and video …. they wanted it to be similar in style to the “If I never see your face” music video with Rihanna and Maroon 5. So we did just that! Danielle is very stylish (as she is part owner of a fabulous boutique in South Miami, called the Dressing Room) We made sure to even incorporate that in the photos …. as the beautiful mannequin catches Michael’s eye! Here’s a sneak peek of some of their photos. Stay tuned for their next session …..

Becky & Eddie’s E Session!

February 4, 2010 at 12:12am Posted in All Engagement Sessions * Becky & Eddie

We were extremely flattered when Becky and Eddie came to us for their wedding …. and because we were already booked, they changed their date to ensure we’d be their photographers! Well, the time for their E Session has arrived and we made sure to incorporate things that they enjoyed …. Becky is a fashionista… so she wore some very cute outfits and rocked the “Victoria Secret” hair! And Eddie once played for the minor leagues so we took some photos on a baseball field and even then Becky rocked a cute outfit!

Jacqui & Michael’s E Session

January 31, 2010 at 9:35pm Posted in All Engagement Sessions * Jacqui & Michael

We sometimes get asked what makes a successful shoot …. there are few components to that … having great locations and a couple that has good chemistry and just has a good time! With Jacqui and Michael we had all those components! They have such amazing chemistry and we really were able to photograph them in two fabulous locations …. the very elegant and stunning Gusman center for the performing arts and we did some urban settings in downtown Miami. We even went to a building that was deemed an “unsafe building” by the county, but they were willing to take a risk, so you know we were Make sure you check out Jacqui with her Matrix pose… that is classic! We can’t wait for your big day guys!

Trip to Hawaii

January 14, 2010 at 5:15am Posted in A day in the life of JohnPaul and Elizabeth

Other then photography, another thing we LOVE to do is travel! Below are just a few photos of our last trip to Hawaii. During our trip we were able to get away, relax and even work on some special projects we have coming up in Hawaii that should be pretty amazing. Below are some of JohnPaul’s breathtaking images, which by the way, are for sale… just shoot us an email if you are interested in these and other of his fine art portraits. I’ll be posting some more in a few days and even a home video we took, with some pretty funny stuff… Enjoy!

Ryann & Jacob’s E Session

December 24, 2009 at 4:33pm Posted in All Engagement Sessions

Ryann and Jake wanted their shoot to represent them and their life in South Florida. Ryann is originally from Long Island and Jacob is from Champaign Illinois and we made sure to include some photos in their shoot that show some South Florida flair (trying too hard not to rub it in to family and friends up north that are freezing now) as well as include things that they love… like football (Ryann is a Cane and Jake is a fighting Illini) and Golf…. the one of Ryann on the course with the apron, beer and pan and Jake with his golf club should be put in a Golf magazine…lol!

See you in March! ~Ry and JakeDecember 24, 2009 - 10:22 pm

Courtney & Dan’s E Session

December 24, 2009 at 3:58pm Posted in All Engagement Sessions

When Courtney contacted us about photographing her big day, we were unfortunately already booked but she wanted us to photograph their E Session and we had a blast with them. South Point Park is very significant to Courtney and Dan, because that is where they got engaged and we also made sure to include their fur babies, Cooper and PJ. Like in all our shoots we make it a point to mix it up by including sophistication and fun…. check out their hot pics and you gotta love the tricycle shot!!!

Patty & Gabriel’s E Session

December 24, 2009 at 3:42pm Posted in All Engagement Sessions

During the entire shoot with Patty and Gabriel my face hurt from laughing so much with Gabriel, there was never a dull moment…. that’s for sure! In the evening we went to Patty’s parents house to photograph their three fur babies…. the biggest, sweetest boxers I’ve ever seen! That was a challenge, but we managed to get some good photographs. We are defiantly looking forward to their big day, which we know will be fun from beginning to end! And later….. Trash the Dress … (Patty’s mom will kill me…lol) Dumpster diving anyone?!?!?!?
