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!

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.
