The wedding ceremony took place at The Point...quite the setting!A great sendoff...I think of each rose petal thrown as a hundred blessings of love and passion to this most deserving of couples.
Rick and his Avant-Gardens team transformed the ballroom into a tropical garden...A beautiful cake by the chefs at the Ocean Reef Yacht Club.

Michelle + Henry: Biltmore Hotel Wedding Coral Gables

What can I say about Michelle and Henry's wedding at the beautiful Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables but that it was one of the most tender, emotional weddings I have ever been to. Dad and Michelle at home sharing a little love! Getting ready is a part of any wedding that the guests don't get to see but is one of my favorite times at a wedding. There are many wonderful, joyous tender moments with the bridesmaids...Mom and Dad. I get a big high watching a loving couple get married...the smile and look that Henry is sharing with Michelle... Reflected back in the face of a beautiful bride!
When I mentioned "emotional" weddings...I wasn't kidding. An awesome portrait in the festive lobby of the Biltmore Hotel.
Attention to detail as always... I can't say enough about Ana Paz and these incredible cakes that she creates! They taste great too... Did I say emotional? :-) For there firsat dance...they were serenaded by "mariachis". Another great Dad and daughter moment... An awesome fiesta... and a lotta love for and between these two!
Thank you for many wonderful moments!

Tracy + Lorenzo, Coral Gables Congregational Church Wedding + Biltmore Hotel Wedding Reception

Tracy and Lorenzo had a magical South Florida wedding at Coral Gables Congregational Church. The moment I saw Tracy in her wedding dress I thought of "Cinderella" about to go to the ball. A Coral Gables Congregational Church wedding is a feast for the eyes. Inside and out it is an architectural treasure.
Often I look for great silhouettes...this is a first look for Lorenzo!

This awesome balcony view of Coral Gables Congregational Church was photographed by Amy, a member of the Roy Llera Team.
I just love the passion and joy that Tracy is sending to Lorenzo...Again one of my favorite moments is right after the ceremony... As a true princess with her one true love...a horse and carriage! Lorenzo is feeling the love and knows what he's got in Tracy...true love!An Ana Paz Cake topped by a "Cinderella and Prince Charming" ( I swear I knew nothing about this when I first saw Tracy and said that she reminded me of Cinderella! Flowers and decor are the creation of Rick at Avant Gardens...awesome guys! The first dance in the incredible Alhambra Ballroom at the Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables.
Thank you so much for the invitation to your wedding...we had a great time!

Andrea + Michael, St. Patrick's Catholic Church Wedding + Miami Beach Resort

Andrea and Michael had an idyllic South Florida Wedding! Every wedding/couple are unique in their own way. There's a lot of love, respect and strength between these two. You can see it in their eyes...
The flower girl chillin with Sponge Bob...
I love Andrea's expression of assuredness, confidence and love. Here she is with her bridesmaids leaving the Secret Garden at Vizcaya.Andrea chose the perfect dress created by Reem Acra. At Vizcaya we had a great time creating some beautiful classic formals. The Gardens at Vizcaya is a fantastic locale for weddings...all these great staircases...arches and walkways. A quiet moment between Dad and Andrea just before entering St. Patrick's Catholic Church in Miami Beach. This sanctuary is one of my favorite churches to photograph. It's exquisite use of marble, great lighting and wonderful people make it a great church to get married in!
As mentioned the lighting in this church is awesome as is this beautiful portrait of Andrea and Michael at the altar.
The flowers and attention to detail are the creation of Richard Randall of A Joy Wallace Catering and Production/Design. The team that Joy Wallace has put together is unparalled in the industry. Thank you! A beautiful cake by Todo Dulce.A beautiful first dance...
Michael knowing what he has and cherishing his future. A tender moment listening to the toasts...
Kids will be kids and they are so real and wondeful! I think this guy is ready to call it a night...
A magical moment in front of St. Patrick's...

Thanks guys for a wonderful South Florida Wedding Experience!
