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!
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!

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 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!
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!!!
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?!?!?!?
Michelle knew exactly what she wanted for her E Session pics and part of that included taking photos in a fair… .since the Youth Fair is in town right before their wedding, we figured Santa’s Enchanted Forrest would work just as good. But before that we did some day shots at the Deering Estate…. sweating, mosquito bites and lots of carnival food later…. here is an example of the end results!! We had a blast with them during their shoot and are very excited about their wedding!!
Javi and Chris had a beautiful wedding in the Keys! The day was overcast, windy, the threat of rain lingered and there were even tornado warnings! As you can imagine for any bride getting married outside this could be a problem…. but with all of our positive thinking and much reassuring from April (of Artistic Film Productions) and I, we were able to convince Javi that it will be ok and sure enough, as soon as this beautiful couple stepped outside, the sun began to shine!!! We hope the sun shines in your life today and always!
Diana and German are an amazing couple! They balance each other out so well ( just like me and JohnPaul.) Diana is quiet and appears to be shy (although she can work a camera with her sexy look) and with German…. well, lets just say there is never a dull moment with him around! My face hurts from laughing when we get together with them! Their big day was at the beautiful Double Tree Hotel in North Miami Beach. German wanted to have a TV at the reception, because FSU was playing and although Diana did not agree to that , she did have a very cool football themed cake topper and even an FSU garter belt!
For those of you who frequent this blog, you’ll remember Raquel and Chris from our “50’s through back” E Session…. Well there big day arrived and their photographs were awesome! Their ceremony was at St. Raymonds and the reception was at the lovely Mayfair hotel. Raquel and Chris were AWESOME to photograph (as you can see by their images) they let us be creative and they knew how to work the camera!! Congrats guys, we love ya!!!
Andrea and Jason had a BEAUTIFUL wedding at St. Patricks cathedral, followed by a beautiful reception at the Westin Diplomat in Hollywood. We had a lot of fun photographing our little squirrels (inside joke… and yes it has to do with the movie up.) As you can see, their images are AMAZING and not only is it cause they are HOT, but they LOVE photos and made sure to give us the time we needed to do these amazing shots. They had about 2.5 hours between the ceremony and the reception, so we took advantage of that and ran with it. Unfortunately, they had a bad experience with the Rolls Royce company they used (all future brides, feel free to inquire with me on who that is so you don’t use them) and they came with us in the car from the church to the reception and we had a blast! Can’t wait to get their album started!
During our visit up North to New Jersey, New York city and Philadelphia JohnPaul had the opportunity to attend a seminar with Cliff Mautner an amazing wedding photographer located in New Jersey. During this seminar they went around the city of Philadelphia to do various bridal shoots. One of the locations in Philly was an abandoned prison… check out the amazing work with lighting that JohnPaul did on these shoots.
So the first time we attempted Gigi’s photo shoot it rained So here is round two of her Sweet 16 photo shoot! Gigi’s a beautiful young lady with lots of personality…. and we made sure to capture not only beautiful photographs of her in her dress, but also in her ADORABLE outfits! She rocked it during this shoot!
