Debi and Tim Beautiful Delray Beach Wedding

Debi and Tim are an absolutely magnificent couple, that had a gorgeous wedding!  Their wedding couldn’t be more perfect!  I’m not sure how many times I reiterate to all my clients how important being on time is to be able to capture amazing images…. I sound like a broken record, but I didn’t have to repeat myself with Debi and Tim!  They had enough time that allowed us to not only take amazing images, they had an unveiling and got to take it all in and enjoy their wedding.  Their day was filled with beautiful emotions that always photograph so well.  From Debi’s mom’s determination to walk down the aisle for her little girl, to their emotional unveiling, to the most heartfelt, beautiful and funniest vows I’ve heard in quite sometime, made for this amazing interfaith wedding to be something that belongs in the pages of a brides magazine.   Enjoy their sneak peek of photos below and their beautiful slideshow.

Damaris and Antony’s Miami Wedding

Another high school sweetheart Love story for our blog (we love these)!  Damaris and Tony actually know each other since Junior High School, where Tony liked Damaris.  When they were high school, their love story began and now their fairy tale continues with their beautiful wedding.  Most people run late for weddings, but despite a rainy day (which is good luck) not only was the bride on time, but the entire wedding ran as scheduled!  Their ceremony was beautiful at St. Kevin’s Catholic Church (which is where JohnPaul and I got married 10 years ago, so we love that church!)  and the priest was extraordinary, speaking of love and even bringing a guitar a singing a beautiful song!  Very inspiring and just perfect for this wonderful couple and the start of the rest of their lives together!  Enjoy their sneak peek below and feel free to leave your comments!

Yesi and Jimmy’s Miami Trash the Dress Photo Shoot

Ladies and Gents, don’t forget how much FUN a Trash the Dress or Day After shoot can be!  These shoots allow you to get creative with the location of a shoot.  These shoots can be as tame or crazy as you want them to be.  With Yesi and Jimmy we went to a landmark (Jimbo’s) that is no longer there, but we got lucky the school bus (with a not so nice stench) was still there.  Smelled funky, but made for some great photos.  After getting attacked by mosquitos and being on the look out for gators (lol) I’d say this shoot was pretty sucessful!  Check out their sneak peek below!

Adriana and Eric’s Jupiter, Florida Engagement Session

I figured I would not be cheesy and write that Adriana and Eric did their engagement session in Jupiter, Florida, not the planet … but their pictures are out of this world…LOL!  I guess I did it anyway hahaha!  But seriously, Adri and Eric wanted something different for their engagement session and chose the Jupiter Lighthouse and the Blowing Rocks Preserve.  We had a lot of fun with this beautiful couple and were able to get some fabulous and fun photos!  We’re looking forward to their big day, which is fast approaching.  We know Adriana is going to be a beautiful bride and I [Elizabeth] am going to enjoy bothering Eric and being silly to get him to laugh (NO CDC, lol) and of course, he will look handsome as well!  Enjoy their sneak peek below and don’t forget to leave your fabulous comments behind.  -E

Jessica and Felipe’s Miami Engagement Session

When brain storming with Jessica and Felipe for their engagement session, we knew the shoot had to be sophisticated, sexy and fun!  With this fabulous couple, their wardrobe and the locations and ideas we came up with, we were able to do just that.  The Cruz Building in Coconut Grove was the first setting for the sophisticated part of their shoot and as you can see, they did an amazing job!  We then went to South Point Park in order to take some images of them having fun! And when our couples ask for rain ….. we make it rain!  One our favorite photos is the last photo on this post …. I’m sure you will love it too!  We’re looking forward to Jessica and Felipe’s big day, in the meantime, enjoy their beautiful engagement photos.

Frequently Asked Question Friday: Today’s topic – I’m not sure what to do for my Engagement Session or Trash the Dress / Day After Shoot what do you suggest??

We often get asked by couples what we suggest for their Engagement Session, Trash the Dress or Day After photo shoot.  It’s simple, be true to yourselves and your style.  We will ask what it is you are looking for and the “look” you aim to accomplish with the shoot.  Once we have an idea of what it is our clients are looking for, we start to brain storm and make suggestions with locations and ideas that we feel would best represent you!

 

What’s fabulous about our South Florida backyard, is that there is so much more to this beautiful city than just the beach and doing a shoot in khaki pants and a white shirt!  The key to a successful shoot is not only picking the right location that best represents the two of you as a couple, but also making sure that the shoot has the feel you are looking for.  Some people want sexy, editorial and very fashion oriented photos and other people want fun and not so posy photos…. and we aim to please.  

 

You want to be able to look back at your images and know that it was not only exactly what you wanted, but also a fun experience with amazing photographs as an end product!

Aimee and Alex’s Beautiful Biltmore Wedding

There’s no better love story then photographing a couple who not only has amazing chemistry (as you can tell by their engagement session) but also has a great LOVE story, being high school sweet hearts and all!  Their beautiful wedding took place on St. Patrick’s Day at (appropriately enough)  St. Patrick’s Catholic Church on Miami Beach, where the bride and groom looked stunning, they had a choir that made the church sound as though there were angels singing and an awesome priest who not only made the ceremony personal and heartfelt, but he also let everyone know he could be friended on Facebook.  Then the party started at the gorgeous and legendary Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables, where Aimee and Alex celebrated their love with family and friends!  Enjoy a sneak peek of this amazing couples’ big day!

Amanda’s Quince Photo Shoot and Party!

We don’t do Quince’s often, unless we know it’s going to be original and we knew that would certainly be the case with Amanda!  This beautiful young lady is not only a dancer, she’s a fashionista!  So not only did her photo shoot reflect that, but her dress, outfits and of course, her party did as well.  Her birthday party was filled with awesome details that best represent Amanda and her personality.  The room itself was set up like a club, where the kids got to party along with the birthday girl.  And a fabulous fashionista’s birthday party wouldn’t be complete without a special satilite appearance and birthday wish from Perez Hilton!  Hope you enjoy Amanda’s sneak peek below!

LOVE! LOVE! LOVE! Thanks so much for the wonderful job you did!

Yesi and Jimmy’s Beautiful South Florida wedding at Schnebly’s Winery

When Yesi and Jimmy first came to us we not only connected with them, but also with Yesi’s wonderful parents (who totally remind me of my parents {Elizabeth}).  We loved the fact that they got engaged on Valentine’s day and when brainstorming for their Engagement Session, we  came up with a great mixture of a throw back and incorporated music, since Jimmy is Yesi’s favorite drummer.  So the actual wedding day was not short of music and special things that were unique and meaningful to this wonderful couple.  Jimmy’s brother played the guitar and sang during the ceremony and his sister sang during the reception.  And did they party…. they both danced the night away!  Enjoy this wonderful couples sneak peek!

Jenny and Jean’s Beautiful Miami Wedding Photos

Jenny and Jean’s big day started as a cloudy South Florida day with threats of rain, well it was not only perfect, they are one of our couples that not only LOVE photography, but gave us plenty of time to take photos and their post demonstrates that!  If you frequent our blog, you’ll remember that this wonderful couple’s E session incorporated dancing, because that is actually how they met.  Well, for the wedding you know they had to dance…. not just the slow dance at the beginning, but later in the evening a salsa dance and what a tremendous job they did (I think JP and I need need lessons from them)!  Jenny and Jean stayed on schedule so much so, that during the toast when it seemed that people were not paying attention and wondering off, Jean screamed out…. “Come on, we’re behind schedule”  LOL, that’s our kind of groom …. and being on “schedule” apparently pays off, check out their awesome sneak peek below!
