I Love My Team!

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple on their wedding day.  Both the Ceremony and Reception were held at the Ritz Carlton in Orlando FL.  I must say, the Ritz knows how to cater to their guests.  The decor throughout the hotel was beautiful.  There were many places to take indoor photos and if you decide to use this venue try to leave enough time between your ceremony and reception to step outdoors and take advantage of the numerous fountains and gardens for incredible photo opportunities. 

Once again, the bride was a delight to work with during the planning stages.  Both the Bride and Groom were so easy to work with and extremely photogenic.  My entire team was with me for this event as well.  My videographer did an awesome job capturing footage that will make a fantastic video and highlight reel.  I love being able to "bundle" a package with both photography and video to cover all your needs for your special event, whether it is a wedding, anniversary, birthday or corporate event.  When you are in the planning stages please consider doing both, photography and video. 

I'd also like to extend an extra "Thank you" to the staff at the Ritz as well.  We worked with Robert and Michael and I must say that both were so helpful and a lot of fun too.  I would highly recommend asking for them if you decide to check out the Ritz. 

Congratulations again, Adriele and Wael!  Wishing you the best now and always.

Marie Selby Botanical Gardens

A couple of weeks ago I had the pleasure of photographing a wonderful couple in Sarasota, FL.  They were such a joy to work with and we had a blast working with them.  I had a full staff with me, my assistant, Mark, my videographer Angie and her assistant Eric.  I work with so many wonderful Brides, Grooms and Families every day but these two were fantastic.  They were so much fun.  They beamed with Love for each other and enjoyed their day.  Of course there is always some amount of stress when putting together a large event such as a wedding but they took everything in stride and enjoyed their day, their friends and their family. 

If you live in south Florida or if you are looking for a great destination wedding or event you may want to consider Marie Selby Botanical Gardens.  There are so many great areas to take some amazing photographs whether you are wanting family portraits done or engagement and wedding photos.  It is also a great place to photograph the beautiful flowers and trees.  If you are a photography enthusiast you should consider taking a ride to visit the Garden.  If you are planning a wedding there please make sure you leave enough time between your ceremony and reception to take photos because believe me...you will need extra time to capture all the photos you will want to have taken.

Ina and Jason, thank you for the opportunity to photograph your special day.  It was truly a privilege to work with you both.  I look forward to photographing your first anniversary in the near future. 
Wishing you a lifetime of Happiness and Joy.
