Tim & Rachel's FIT Botanical Garden Wedding

Tim and Rachel tied the knot at the luscious FIT Botanical Gardens during Memorial weekend with perfect, yet hot weather! Rachel wore a beautiful gown from Aurora Bridal that accompanied her Grandmother's pearl necklace and earrings - absolutely beautiful! Tim was quite the casual groom in his khaki suit paired up with flip flops ---his "bait and tackle fish hook" boutonniere matched perfectly as he is a fisherman. The ceremony was short and sweet followed by laughs and giggles as they exchanged their vows to one another. The wedding reception was held at the Melbourne Realtor Conference Centre and entertainment was provided by Frederick from Sophisticated Gents. The food was amazing---Charlie and Jake's BBQ provided a Southern BBQ for their guests to enjoy. Congratulations to Tim and Rachel -- I wish you all the happiness that life may bring to you both! As always, thank you for having Michelle and I at your wedding; I'm blessed to have been able to document your wedding!

 

 

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!

Candice and Mark's Pink Vintage Wedding

Candice and Mark were hitched in early November at The Atlantic Resort and Spa located in Ft. Lauderdale Beach. The bride to be ---what a classic beauty with her Allure lace vintage dress and also the groom to be --handsome in his tailored gray suit. What an emotional day it was, especially when Candice's Father locked eyes on his daughter as she stood anxiously awaiting his arrival into the room, yes, it was tears for all!! Their ceremony overlooked the Atlantic Ocean as the alter was decorated with an arrangement of candles, so romantic it was! As Candice walked down the aisle to Michael Jackson's "Human Nature", Mark stood there with his jaw dropped in absolutely awe. As the sun set to the East, I captured an amazing sunset with both Candice and Mark along with their wedding party. The reception was even better, the DJ played nothing but classic 80/90's jams - it was great seeing everyone dancing to the music. Truly a beautiful wedding --- I'm so blessed to have been able to capture their memories! Congratulations to Candice and Mark - I wish all the happiness in the world!!!!

A "Pretty in Pink" September Wedding

I've had the summer off with my son and enjoyed the time recouping for wedding season 2012! Labor Day weekend, Lu Anne and Monroe said " We will" at the historic Porcher House in the presence of their closest friends and family. I have to say, I almost always cry at least once during the day of weddings, but I cried twice!! The couple decided they wanted the "First Look" before the ceremony; its always emotional and tear-jerking as the Bride approaches her Groom. I watched Lu Anne walk down the stairs with so much emotion as she slowly walked to Monroe; the second he took to turn around, time stopped-literally....and the tears started to trickle. As if that wasn't emotional enough, during the Procession Monroe escorted his Bride up the stairs while their guests were clapping and cheering them on as they walked together hand in hand; this would be the 2nd time I cried, lol. The Porcher house was decorated "Pretty in Pink" surrounded by uplighting, pink flowers, candy bar buffet and a beautifully decorated wedding cake with cupcakes that tasted soo yummy! A special thank you to Michelle for assisting me in photographing their wedding.  Lu Anne and Monroe, thank you graciously for allowing me to capture your special day; I had a wonderful time meeting your friends and family :+)

  

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!!!
