Fun…spur of the moment…..quirky and mad about each other! We totally loved shooting Laila and Mathias around the grounds of their condo on Marco Island! And we can’t wait for their wedding…..what could be more romantic than getting married on Valentine’s day at the Ritz Carlton Naples on the beach? Can’t wait!
I wanted to post a few shots of the session we did of Grace at the Secret Garden here in Naples. This is the session we shot for the Neapolitan Family cover in November…..with a background like this and such a wonderful subject, we were able to capture some cute portraits of her.
I’m really starting to get into black and white again. And I’m itching to set up my darkroom again….on the hunt for an enlarger! Wouldn’t these look great as large fiber prints framed on the wall?
We are so excited to have in our hands the Winter/Spring 2010 edition of Weddings Florida magazine!
This edition features Liz and Sean’s awesomely beautiful and fun wedding that we shot at Miromar Lakes Beach & Golf Club here in Southwest Florida! What a great place to shoot! At every corner we found great spots and the decor is fabulous! Lesley and the staff at Miromar did an absolutely outstanding job making sure everything flowed smoothly and everyone was happy. And we couldn’t have been happier shooting at such a refreshingly unique spot!
I know that the wedding magazine industry experienced some losses last year with the loss of Modern Bride and Elegant Bride so we are SUPER ecstatic to see such a beautiful magazine going strong and representing some of the best vendors, locations and talent here in Florida. We are also very honored to be featured in Weddings Florida.
For us, it’s really wonderful to see this area of Southwest Florida receive the recognition it deserves as being a hot spot for destination weddings. Not only is the area beautiful, but we have some absolutely fantastic talent in the area that will do everything possible to help create a bride and groom’s vision. And part of that success comes from a strong network here of industry vendors that work with each other and support each other.
Thanks again to Weddings Florida for featuring Liz and Sean and thank you Liz and Sean for trusting in our ability to preserve your wedding day.
