Your Wedding Album

By On February 2, 2010 In Destination Weddings, Weddings With No Comments Permanent Link to Your Wedding AlbumPermalink

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! Continue Reading →

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.

Amelia and Arturo Tie the Knot!

Greetings from the sunny South Florida! This Friday, I had the pleasure of photographing Amelia and Arturo’s wedding. You may remember them from their engagement session a few months ago.

The nearly two and a half hour ceremony was one to remember as it included guests from all over the world including Spain and Puerto Rico and five priests presiding over the celebration.  After the ceremony at St. Patrick’s Church, we headed over to the  Ronald W. Shane Center in Miami Beach where Patricia Pozas from Foodie Catering and Events had everything looking fabulous!

Amelia and Arturo, thank you for allowing me be part of you most memorable day! Please enjoy the previews below!

St. Patrick’s Church was founded in 1926 as the first Roman Catholic Church in Miami Beach. Its beauty and elegance has attracted people from all over the world including well known public figures. The image below looks like a composition done in Photoshop, but it is not. I was just simply blessed with great light! Amelia and Arturo had beautiful weather on their day.

Ame and Art’s ceremony was celebrated by five priests! Two of them were their life-long pastors from their perspective parishes and the other three are life-long friends whom Amelia, in particular has grown-up with. On the altar, assisting the priests was also Amelia’s brother who is also in the seminary with the Jesuits. It was a solemn ceremony!

Destination Wedding – Cartagena: Paula and David Tie the Knot!!

Cartagena is for lovers, and this weekend I had the pleasure of capturing Paula and David’s enchanting wedding in Cartagena, Colombia! When my good friend Alex Rodriguez invited me to shoot this gorgeous couple in Cartagena, I couldn’t help but dream about the beauty of Colombia and the warmth of its people. Cartagena takes you on a journey back into the colonial era full of love and passion, of mystery and chivalry; it is by far, one of the most romantic places in this world to celebrate the magic of love!  We stayed at an amazing hotel called “Bantu Hotel.” The hotel was built during the time of the colonization and has been restored into a very intimate get-away hotel..simply beautiful! Here is just a glimpse into David and Paula’s amazing day:

The dress was gorgeous, designed by Paloma Blanca:
