We had the pleasure of photographing Shari's wedding and it just made this wedding all the more special for us. The simplicity of Erica's bouquet...caressed by Adam's hands... Erica...so beautiful in her Paloma Blanca wedding gown...love the tropics...the coconut palm trees...and great weather makes for a fun casual formal...a Jupiter Beach Resort Wedding The Dad's having a go at who's taller... a scene to be repeated later in the evening between cousins. A tender caress as Adam looks into the eyes of his beloved Erica.The Chupah, flowers and decor by the creative team at Simply Flowers in Palm Beach Gardens. Here is a moment recreated over and over again through the years between cousins...Erica wins this time. Experience life, love and passion...

Andrew was able to photograph the elusive Roy Llera "relaxing"...a rare site indeed!My sons together caught the fish that didn't get away... and I have a life blessed with a beautiful family and friends...:-)

Annie + Nathan; St Augustine Catholic Church Wedding; Biscayne Bay Yacht Club Wedding Reception

I was thrilled when Annie and Nathan called me to photograph their wedding...actually I am thrilled when a couple in love choose us to be there!

Annie + Nathan had a St Augustine Catholic Church Wedding and a lovely the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club wedding reception. You'd think Annie a decorator...their home could be showcased in a design magazine... This little pooch couldn't make it to the wedding but is definitely the "other" love in Annie's life. Love this moment when Dad gives Annie to Nathan... A quiet moment before the reception... Beautiful florals by Vivian of Vivian's Petals. A reception under the stars at the Biscayne Bay Yacht Club... Two beautiful Moms... Father and Son sharing a celebratory moment... A tender touch from Nathan's grandmother... Girls that really want that bouquet! Makes for a magical beginning for Annie and Nathan... Life is good...:-)

Special thanks to Jodi Youst for a perfectly planned wedding!

Taylor's brother preparing his toast as Best Man...I too was recently the Best Man at a wedding and the day of I was constantly tweaking what I wanted to say.

Kelly + Ben, Plymouth Congregational Church Coconut Grove Wedding; Villa Woodbine Wedding Reception

Kelly + Ben had the most incredible Plymouth Congregational Church wedding to start off the New Year! When I tell you I think they had the luck of the Irish...more on that later...it was raining everywhere but where these two were. Always a wonderful moment, Ben seeing Kelly for the first time. The setting at Plymouth Congregational is absolutely from another time...established in 1897...it is a treasure and a thrill to photograph at this unique location. Here's where the luck of the Irish comes in...Kelly's dress is a wedding dress from 19th Century Ireland. Never have I seen such intricate, beautiful and luscious details... Kelly, without a doubt is Daddy's little girl.
The reception took place at another Coconut Grove landmark, Villa Woodbine. Situated on a limestone bluff overlooking Biscayne Bay, Villa Woodbine is one of the finest early twentieth century estates remaining in Coconut Grove. This outstanding Mediterranean Revival style house is noted for its fine detail and craftsmanship. The food was yummy as catered by Bill Hansen Catering...the team that Bill has is celebrated for their exceptional food and service! The cake was created by none other than...Ana Paz Cakes!What did Ben say...? I love this moment...I think someones wiping away lipstick... Again a great wedding to start off 2008!

Thank you to Geri Barounsky, wedding coordinator at Plymouth Congregational!
Special thanks to Linda and Martina of M & L Occasions for putting this all together!
Raffi at Petal Productions; again as always a phenomenal job!
