Matt and Jessica's Beachside Wedding

Matt and Jessica planned their destination wedding on the east coast and traveled all the way from Las Vegas to share their special day with friends and family. Mother Nature had decided to grace us with her rain just before the ceremony and thank goodness only lasted a few minutes.  Matt and his groomsmen all wore superhero shirts underneath their suits -- quite the kids at heart! Jessica, what a gorgeous bride in her vintage lace gown with matching starfish hairpins to match their beach side theme; thank you to Essentials Spa for doing a wonderful job with the hair and makeup.  The reception entertainment and uplighting décor was provided by "DJ Shane Entertainment"; as always, he has the party rocking all night long. As the evening progressed, I was able to sneak Matt and Jessica away from their guests and take advantage of the contemporary décor the Crowne Plaza had to offer in the lobby area. I would like to thank my assistant, Matt for all of his hard work! Matt and Jessica, congratulations on your marriage and I wish you all the happiness in the world! Thank you for providing me with the opportunity to document your special day. All my best to you both.....

Lori & Tom's Jensen Beach Wedding

Lori and Tom traveled along with their children from Michigan to unite their family as one on the beaches of the Treasure Coast. It was a far better choice to leave the snow, boots, scarves and mittens at home to enjoy the South Florida weather. Lori, whom is a very dear friend of mine asked me to photograph her wedding just shortly after she was engaged and of course I could only say, "Yes"!  It was such a delightful sight to see her so incredibly blissful and of course meet Tom :+) The ceremony was beautifully decorated with tropical flowers and shells. The family had invited me to lunch on the river to celebrate their marriage and oh so yummy cheesecake! Afterwards, the pictures continued on the golf course and concluded with a run down the river --- it was an amazing day! Lori and Tom, congratulations on your marriage and I wish you endless happiness in the years to come!

Shelley + Nick's Radisson Oceanfront Hotel Wedding

Shelley and Nick have said "I do" to each other in the presence of their family and closest friends at the Radisson Oceantfront Hotel. Their morning wedding overlooked the Atlantic Ocean; the sky was a beautiful deep blue as there were no clouds in the sky. Both Shelley and Nick had written their own vows to each other as they promised to love one another for all eternity.  At the end of the ceremony, Nick bent down to give his sweet baby boy to be a kiss :+) After the ceremony, we took a stroll on the beach for their formal pictures along with the wedding party. Shelley decided to surprise Nick with a custom UF Gator chopping on a FSU Seminole shirt cake -- it was delish!!   The reception had a photo booth which was a favorite amongst many! Congratulations to Shelley and Nick, I'm looking forward to watching your family grow as your baby boy will be arriving in just a few months! As always, thank you both for allowing me to share your special day.

 

Anne & Rene's 11.11.11 Wedding

Anne and Rene's 11.11.11 love story unveiled on a private rooftop overlooking Ft Lauderdale beach with their 2 beautiful daughters at their sides as they anxiously have been waiting to say, "I do" for the past 21 years.  The ceremony couldn't have been any perfect without both Anne and Rene writing their own vows and well.....maybe Rene tearing up :+)  Anne had planned her dream wedding from Connecticut with the help of family residing in South Florida.  No detail had gone unnoticed; the sea urchin cake was amazing as the other tables were decorated with sweet treats and sea shells.  The estate rental home was absolutely lavish; 4 floors with an elevator, marble staircase, pool table room for the fellas and the list goes on.  Anne and Rene danced the night away with those  closest to them, which is exactly want they had envisioned.  Congratulations Anne and Rene!! I wish you nothing but the best as you begin your marriage together!!!!!!!!!!
