Erica and Steve's Inspired Peacock Themed Wedding

Erica and Steve 's wedding took place on 12.13.14 at the Women's Club of Stuart.  I can't imagine how many other love birds chose this date for their wedding. They had surrounded themselves with the most important person in their life, their son - Julian in addition to friends and family of course! They said, "I do" underneath the canopy of banyan trees adored with silver lanterns.

I've had the pleasure of documenting this family back in 2013 as they welcomed their son into the world. Steve, such a great guy whom I've know since pre-teen has never been happier until he met his bride. Erica has a contagious smile and sweet soul as she had tears of happiness trickle down her face while she read her vows to Steve. They both are infatuated with each other! 

Thank you to the following vendors that helped create Erica and Steve's dream day: Bacio Bacio Bridal Salon - Bridal Salon (Justin Alexander - Designer), Hair/Makeup - Christina Kelly, Devine Entertainment - uplighting, Custom DJ Services - music entertainment, Sarandipity Floral - flowers, Where's Da Party - rentals and Weddings by Marie Nicole - wedding planner.

I wish you all the happiness in the world.....you both are amazing people to say the least! Thank you for giving me the opportunity to document your special day. Besos E+S!

 

 

Crystal & Miguel's November Wedding

The month of November has always been known for "a time of giving and a time to be thankful".....which is why Crystal and Miguel chose the weekend of Thanksgiving,  to give each other their love for one another. The couple celebrated their day with their 1 yr old daughter at their side as they were introduced as husband and wife at the reception.  Luckily for me, the ceremony had ended before the sun had set so I had the opportunity to capture the beautiful colors of the sky. The reception decor was designed by Crystal; the wishing well tree stood on top of the place card table with crystal garland twinkling throughout.  The entertainment and uplighting was provided by Dennis, owner of  Devine Entertainment whom did an amazing job with the monogram on the cake wall. Crystal and Miguel, my best wishes to you both! Thank you deeply for choosing me to capture your special day!!!  

Katy & Ryan's May Wedding

Katy and Ryan celebrated their wedding nuptials of the beautiful greens of the Stuart Yacht and Country Club in Stuart, Florida.  After many months of planning from Indiana and France, the wedding couldn't be any more spectacular than they had planned for.  Katy, a local native to South Florida, whom I'm proud to have known since childhood, had waited patiently for her "dream day" to become "real". Ryan, a native of Indiana and working abroad in France, was immediately astounded by the beauty of his bride as she walked down the aisle. The couple chose "Walking in Memphis" as their first dance - their bliss was an amazing experience to watch as Ryan twirled her on the dance floor. To top off the evening, Katy's older brother whom is on active duty with the Military and was not able to attend the festivities, had a pre-recorded his toast that was played during the reception - absolutely speechless for all! Thank you both for an incredible wedding! I wish you many years of happiness as you start your journey as husband and wife! My very best.....XOXOXO

Carl & Keesha's E-Session

Carl & Keesha choose to have their Engagement Session on the sands of the beautiful Treasure Coast during the sunset as the sun casted vibrant colors of orange, pink and yellow.  The Treasure Coast, being my hometown is one of the most untouched and unhabitated beaches I've ever seen in all of my travels.  Carl & Keesha are having a July wedding, taking place at a botantical garden. Carl, being a long time childhood friend has found his love and I'm so thrilled to witness this time in his life.  Keesha, an amazing woman with a heart of gold and a smile that could light up the night sky is Carl's perfect match!! With both personalities, their engagement session was definately filled with lots of laughs, love and passion :+) Can't wait for next month to see these 2 love birds get hitched!!!

Katy & Ryan's Engagement Session

I've had the pleasure of making a trip back to my home town of St Lucie in late June to shoot Katy and Ryan's engagement pics. Katy, whom I've had the pleasure of watching grow up into a beautiful woman from childhood has hired me for her May 2011 wedding in Jensen Beach. What a day it was for all.....we starting shooting at 7 am and ended some time around 12 pm.....and the heat was brutal!!! We made pit stops along the way to take a 5 minute nap in local lounge chairs that we spotted, the 2 made sure the sun kept out with an umbrella and last but not least.....we ALL SCREAMED FOR ICE CREAM!! Air conditioner was in our sight :+) I had an amazing time with Katy and Ryan - thank you both for a fun morning!
