Jacqueline + Scott: Grove Isle Wedding

What a great time Danijela and I had photographing this Grove Isle Wedding! Jacqueline and Scott had their mojo going and this wedding rocked...

A little detail...Invitations were created by Brenda of House and Paper
The energy in Jackie's suite with her best friends was electric... Scott's expression the moment he spies Jacqueline... This was such an exciting moment for the two of them...Jacqueline is radiant in her absolutely stunning Vera Wang Wedding Gown.

Scott's groomsmen were so supportive and the best man had one of the best toasts I have ever heard..."Friends are God's way of apologizing for the family he gave you".
The Rabbi reviewing the Ketubah...Does Scott look nervous? He wasn't...he was so ready to marry Jacqueline! Mom sharing a tender moment during the bedeken...
There is a special bond between these two...
A Grove Isle wedding is an island affair...the view...the coconut palms...the bay is phenomenal.
Karen Arbulu does a fantastic job making sure these special moments go off without a hitch. This is cocktail hour...what a magical time! Another masterpiece by Ana Paz Cakes

Petal Productions again were on their mark and did an amazing job with flowers and decor. Thank you Raffi! The Hora was an event...with everyone sharing and dancing...this dance has so much energy! Both Mom's sharing a moment... It's such a high getting married...having your closest supporting and loving you.
Jacqueline and her brother are very close...he served as her "Man of Honor". So cool! Special thanks to Martina and Linda of M + L Occasions...everything was perfect!

Jacqueline...Scott...we had a great time getting to know you, meeting your family and friends.
Thank you!

Masifa + Ian, St Regis Hotel Wedding, Ft. Lauderdale

This is a marriage based on love and faith...as rain threatened earlier in the day...Masifa and Ian had faith in God and that the sun would shine on their beach wedding ceremony.
I love the "first look" as viewed below...there's Ian walking to Masifa.
The passion and exuberance that these two have for each other is contagious.
This is Ian's look as... Masifa's Daddy gives his daughter's hand in marriage...love the way Dad looks at Masifa with much love and tenderness...here come the tears...Blue skies and sunshine blessed these two as vows were spoken and...
rings exchanged...
A release of white doves...
Finally they are one and it shows with joy in their faces! What a great idea...the wedding program in a bottle! The beautiful St Regis in Ft. Lauderdale was the setting for this wonderful wedding. The lobby is exquisitely decorated... Flowers and details created by the super talented Raffi of Petal Productions.I absolutely love all these great moments that present themselves at weddings and of course photographing them!
A wonderful "hora" so symbolic of the support of family and friends as they are lifted into the air together. Can a guy get any luckier than this? Eric Enriquez of the St Regis Hotel, Ft. Lauderdale and his team did a wonderful putting all this together.
Masifa and Ian thanks you the experience of your love.

Kim + Alejandro, Spanish Monastery Wedding + The Palms Hotel Wedding Reception

I love weddings! The joy I get being there for each of my couples and capturing all those wonderful moments is beyond words...so I'll let my photos speak.


Kim and Alejandro were married at the beautiful Spanish Monastery. This place is centuries old and has so much beauty and character...it's a great venue for a wedding and gorgeous photographs.
Speaking of beautiful couples...here's Kim (above) and Alejandro (below)
Mom and Dad escorting Kim to her fiance...I love the way the parents are smiling and Kim has a look of anticipation of seeing Alejandro for the first time. Ahh! South Florida...it truly is a tropical paradise here...we are blessed with beautiful weather...great tropical foliage...and beautiful moments.
The couple live in Chicago and getting to the beach for some fun casual formals was a requirement! Celebrating with your closest friends and family are what it's all about... When it all comes together...the perfect breeze and a new family born.

Ana Paz is the queen of Cakes and desserts here in South Florida! She puts all her passion and love into each cake she creates!


Petunias did an incredible job with florals and decor at the Palms Hotel in Miami Beach!
When I heard that Dad and Kim had taken dance lessons together just made this moment even more special. Knowing that they had a special time together preparing for their first dance.
I love it when guys get all choked up as in Alejandro's brother during the toast.
This party was nonstop fun!
We all want to be "rockstars".
The way Alejandro's Dad is playing this guitar...I have a feeling he can play the real thing...look at that handwork!
Truly a King with His Queen...Thanks for the invite...we had a great time!

Eileen Rivera of Simply Weddings did a fantastic job putting this event together. Thank you!
