All of my brides are so patient and for that I applaud them. I know I would be antsy waiting on my images! I just wanted to put up this teaser of Sam and Erick’s wedding. WOW is really all I can muster at this point. Samantha looked absolutely stunning in every picture, so naturally, that’s what I wanted to share for now. Samantha, your wait is almost over! Enjoy these! They were a pleasure for me to create….and you made my work super-duper easy!!

I’ve been working on Michelle and John’s wedding these last few weeks and I couldn’t resist the urge to put this teaser up. I had so much fun with Michelle on her wedding day….she’s a total sweetheart and made my work SO easy.

I just love the look and feel of these images….like Michelle and John, there is a certain mystery to them. Michelle also has impeccable taste in everything from her venue selections to her gown to her florals to her hair! I can’t wait to showcase all those yummy details. And how cool is that panoramic below? That’s going to look fab as a pano canvas!

Happy Wednesday!

Here’s a peek at the fantabulous wedding of Jennifer and Claude. What a lovely couple! Not only is Jennifer absolutely beautiful, but her taste is divine. I can’t wait to put up all the images of the beautiful ceremony and brunch reception.

This is a shot of Jennifer and Claude enjoying a kiss during the brunch. Everything from Jennifer’s preparations to their last goodbye was held in the lovely and magical backyard of this historic home in Ocala. Come back again soon…I’ll be posting more images from their special day and hopefully a bit of history on the house!

teaser! liz and sean at Miromar Lakes!

Rene and I had the honor to photograph Liz and Sean this last weekend at Miromar Lakes Beach and Golf club. Aside from the awesomeness of shooting at such a wonderfully designed country club, it was just so easy to take fantastic pictures of Sean and Liz because they are just so much in love. When two people are so in love, it shows in the images you capture and well, it’s just easy to make great pictures! I stopped by last week to talk to Liz before the wedding and we both started tearing up…I told her that there was nothing better than finding that one person that you knew you were going to die with. I know, it sounds cheezy but she totally understood me.

Here’s a couple of teasers….Liz and Sean…we miss you guys already and we hope you have a fantastic honeymoon!

teaser! brittaney at the edison & ford winter estates

I’ve been so very hard at work on Brittaney and Nic’s wedding. I wish I could say that shooting is the toughest part of our day. But really, our post production work flow is very involved and demands so much more of us. Our style is what sets us apart and that vision doesn’t come quick. It’s a true labor of love…and a pursuit of imagination, creativity and artistic flare.

Brittaney has been a total dream bride to work with. She gave us complete artistic freedom and her only request was different, gritty, artistic and urban! Her ceremony took place at the super-cool Edison and Ford Winter Estates, she had her reception at the fabulous Veranda Restaurant and we shot her pictures in downtown Ft. Myers. The rebuilt downtown district gave us just the perfect backdrop for different, gritty and urban!

This has been by far my most creative wedding yet and I am in total LOVE with the images that we created for Brittaney and Nic. Thanks Brittaney for pushing us to the next level! More to come soon and enjoy the tease!
