Linda and Angel were married on March 13th and I was able to share a little sneak peek and have been excited to post the rest of their story. I have known Linda for a little over a year now and have worked with her on several occasions. It was wonderful to be able to share this day with her, meet her most amazing friends and her beautiful family. This day was even more special to Linda because shortly after Linda and Angel said their vows and were married, Linda’s Mother and Father renewed their wedding vows. The ceremony was held at the Kraft Azalea Garden in Winter Park. It was a beautiful, breezy and little bit of a chilly day.As soon as I arrived I was struck by the peacefulness and tranquility-there were a few couples walking around and an artist sketching on his easel and I thought to myself, “What could be more perfect.” Here is the rest of their story…

This is definitely the largest “sneak peek” I have ever done…but, I just can’t help myself.

The rest of the story to follow soon…

I had a great time shooting this wedding with my friend Linda Claveria. I will actually be shooting her wedding next month so it was great to get to see her and work with her one more time before her big day, but this day was Chantel and Jorge’s special day and what a beautiful one it was. Chantel was an amazingly gorgeous bride and I fell in love with the hotel lobby where she got ready-the lighting, the colors, the space, the furniture-oh, heaven. Enjoy my view of their day (and that ‘oh so fabulous lobby)…

Some details…and a bridesmaid gets readyFor the bride…and here she isNow the rest of the story

Thought I would share a beautiful bride with you on this most wonderful Monday…

The colors, the tradition and the food made for a very memorable evening. The wedding took place at the Orlando Marriott Airport and began with a reception in the lobby for the guests, shortly afterwards the groom arrived and then the bride made her quiet yet grand entrance. The traditional indian dress of the female guests was stunning. Afsheen’s dress was amazing-it was actually shipped to her from Pakistan and she said it weighed approximately 50 pounds, which she wore on her tiny and petite body very gracefully. And can we talk about the food…I found two new favorites-paratha (a delicious indian type flatbread) and chicken tikka. For this wedding I second-shot alongside Linda Claveria of Linda Rose Photography and I would like to thank her for such a great experience and opportunity. Afsheen and Masroor will be leaving Orlando and I wish them well on their journey of life.

A traditional Indian wedding…and here is a sneak peek.

At the wedding reception celebrating the marriage of Mr. & Mrs. Paul Sharpe, Paul took the microphone and told everyone how he had prayed for I’eysha to come into his life because he was ready to make a commitment to someone special; I’eysha in turn took the microphone and thanked Paul for praying for her because she had not prayed for him…laughter filled the room as she went on to explain that she was forever grateful for Paul’s faith and prayers for her. This statement of faith was especially moving and it is the one moment that stands out to me. I had a fabulous time second-shooting this extraordinary wedding with Linda Claveria of Linda Rose Photography. And oh, I have to mention that the wit and humor of both the best men (yes, there were two of them!) and maid of honor’s toasts had the entire wall-to-wall, packed to the brim ballroom laughing hysterically-what a great night! I wish I’eysha and Paul a life filled with love, laughter and faith.

I’eysha and Paul became Mr. & Mrs. Sharpe on November 7th. It was a beautiful day, a beautiful bride, a beautiful ceremony and a beautiful love…here is a sneak peek.

Melissa and Robert have that kind of love that you feel when you walk into a room and it was pure joy to be a part of that. They had a simple, sweet and charming wedding surrounded by family and friends. The venue was rustic with old wood floors and vintage chandeliers, which added to the charm of this quaint wedding. My favorite part-All of the groomsmen wore converse tennis shoes including the bride and grooms son, which showed off the bride and grooms offbeat sides!  I wanted to share some of the special details of their wedding and the beauty of the bride with you, along with the awesome dancing I promised.

Mother & Son…and I am lovin the brown converse!Seriously beautiful…

And now the party has begun with a little song called “The Love Shack”
