Last weekend I had the formidable pleasure of capturing the wedding of Marisabel (Mari) and Pedro. You might remember Mari and Pedro’s Engagement Session back in February when I also traveled to Miami for this special occasion. The ceremony took place in the beautiful St. Hugh Catholic Church and the reception at the world famous Hyatt Regency of Coral Gables.  I hope you enjoy these teasers!!!

Take a look at this Ring Pillow! It was totally amazing!

Mari and Pedro were one of the most relaxed couples I’ve ever met. They managed themselves so candidly it was a pleasure to make these lovely portraits of them.

I am particularly fond of the shot below because of its significance. You see, last December Mari and Pedro were not sure if they were going to postpone their wedding. Mari’s father was diagnosed with Cancer and his health was rapidly deteriorating. It was a very difficult time for everyone in the family, but her Father convinced Mari to continue with her plans. Unfortunately, Mari’s father passed away prior to the wedding, but I know he was there in spirit with his daughter.  To me, the image below captures all of this.

As mentioned above, the reception was celebrated at the Hyatt Regency of Coral Gable and it was masterfully organized by Ericka Cribillero of the hotel’s catering department.

Dear Mari and Pedro, thank you for allowing me into your lives and capture your lovely wedding! I wish you both a joyful and happy life together!

 

I just arrived from Miami, where I photographed Mari and Pedro’s wedding (more on that later)!! But before I share with you those images, I wanted to share with you this set of Amelia and Arturo’s wedding albums I received a day before I left to Miami.  Below are images of the 12×16 Wedding album available in my Enchanting and Dream wedding Collections along with a 6×8 Parent album which is identical.  Bound in real leather, this gorgeous wedding album is large, sturdy, and formidably strong; it is made to keep your memories for generations to come!!!

Parent albums are available in two different sizes: 6×8 and 8×12. These parent albums are an identical version of the main wedding album (except for the cover of the 6×8 album) and can only be ordered at the same time you order the main wedding album.  Parent albums come standard with my Enchanting and Dream Wedding Collections.

I am a strong believer in albums, that’s why all my collections include wedding and engagement albums.  I think there is no better way to safe-keep and present your wedding images than with these beautiful albums. All albums come with a standard of 20 pages, but now until the end of July, when you book your wedding for either 2010 or 2011, you will receive an additional 20 pages for free! That’s a $500.oo saving!  Cheers to life and love!

 

I just received Jose and Viviana’s wedding album and thought I might share with you all this beautiful jewel! You might remember Jose and Viviana’s destination wedding in Puerto Rico. If not, here is the link to their wedding. Wedding albums are at the core of my work because they are the treasure chests that will forever hold your wedding memories. Every time I meet with prospective clients I speak to them about the value of having a wedding album. This is also why each one of my wedding collections include an album. I want to make sure all my clients possess one of these jewels for the rest of their lives.

The workflow of your wedding album is very simple! A week or so after your wedding, you will receive a private gallery such as this one for you to preview the first draft. You will then have an opportunity to make all the changes you want using the built-in  simple form within the site. After you send me all your changes, you will receive a second and draft for your final approval Once the design has been approved, your album will be ordered. It’s that simple! I take pride in designing my own albums. Check Viviana and Jose’s wedding album below:

These albums are meant to last! They are sturdy as can be. There are various cover options to chose from.

Check out some of the layout! These full page layouts on the 9.5″ x 13″ albums literally pop out!

Jose and Viviana, I loved shooting your wedding and looking at this album brings back so many great memories. I can’t imagine the smiles it will bring to your faces for years to come! Cheers to love!

 

A few weeks ago, I had the pleasure of assisting a good buddy of mine, Todd Good, on Krissy and Paul’s wedding in Delray Beach. Prior to the ceremony, I went to Paul’s house to photograph him getting ready. Paul’s family was really cool and his father loves photography! Krissy and Paul celebrated their nuptial vows in St. Jude Catholic Church in Boca Raton and the reception at the Sundy House in Delray Beach. Enjoy the images below!

I loved this shot of Krissy’s father unveiling her as he presented her to Paul. Krissy looked stunning and her father was full of emotion.

That look in her eyes, as she gazes Paul, this is the reason I love what I do.

Hey gang! I’m here in Puerto Rico and I just got out of Viviana and Jose’s destination wedding! Puerto Rico is truly the “Enchanting Island” or as they say in Spanish “La Isla del Encanto.”  Viviana and Jose celebrated their love in San Jorge Catholic Church, a 400-year old church built by as a missionary outpost in San Juan. After the ceremony, we went to Old San Juan for some great portraits. Finally, we headed to Casa de España for an amazing Reception. A very, very special thanks to Krista Hall Jefferson who helped me shoot this wedding.

Viviana's Wedding Dress was lovely!

The Church was stunning. I still can't belive that it is 400-years old!
