We’ve known Jon for a while now and of course, not only was it a pleasure to participate in such a beautiful day, but we couldn’t be happier that Jon and Abigail found each other. You know, life is too short to not find that special better half, and whenever we get to be a part of that union, it’s very satisfying to see two people who have found each other and will be going through life together as one.

Abigail started her day at her sister’s house, where she got ready. What a beautiful bride! Abigail is from Mexico City, Distrito Federal, Mexico. And her sister has this beautiful statue of the Aztec calendar, which made the perfect backdrop for the ring shot. Cool, huh!

And then we made our way to Grandezza Country Club in Naples, where Jon and Abigail had a fabulous reception. I got some major Hurrell-inspiration when I shot these in the balcony in front of the club. I just LOVE dramatic lighting and this image is really something to see as a print! The entire series is breath-taking….

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!
