This past Saturday Nanette and I spent the day on Fort Myers Beach at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa for Jamie & Edward’s sunset beach wedding. I had the pleasure to shoot with Julie Brewer who drove from Orlando. She’ll be second shooting with me in Italy for my upcoming wedding in September. We were able to capture some amazing photos and I really look forward to designing their wedding album.

Just yesterday we were privileged to shoot this gorgeous wedding at the Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort & Spa in Estero. Mor and David had the most gorgeous day and such a wonderful crowd of friends and family. From their first sight of each other to the glittering reception, the wedding was unforgettable. Congratulations to you both!

Melissa and Michael tied the knot last weekend at the nearby Stonebridge Country Club in Naples. Michael surprised everyone by arriving at the alter in a rocker wig, and the reception followed in the rock ‘n roll theme. The entire wedding party held up tremendously well in the summer heat… we always have to give them a hand! Congratulations to the two of you, enjoy the honeymoon!

This is their first look at each other. Look at the emotion on Melissa’s face!

Jen and Steve were married this past weekend with the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa and the Gulf as a sparkling backdrop for their ceremony. The whole group was laid back and in high spirits, which makes for a fun shoot for us. It doesn’t hurt that Jen has the most infectious laugh. Congrats you two!

What a great wedding in Plantation Florida, Noel & Dave tied the knot at Jacaranda Country Club. The country club had these unbelievable grounds, followed by the bride arriving to the ceremony riding on a old classic fire truck. Thanks again Noel & Dave for allowing me to be a part of your day!

I can’t believe I haven’t blogged about this wedding yet. As you may of know from Facebook, I’ve been in VA shooting a wedding with Melissa & Russell’s Wedding. I realized that I’m starting to fall behind. Ann & Zac’s wedding took place at the Pink Shell Beach Resort & Spa, A beautiful location for a beautiful wedding. We had this amazing cloud cover that offered some great diffused lighting during the ceremony, but with the cloud cover came some heavy rain. Within minutes of the ceremony the rain started. We captured a few really great shots with umbrellas from the Pink Shell. The resorts attention to details was amazing, congrats to Dony and her staff for doing such a great job. With the weather turning south on us, I’m going to meet up with Ann & Zac again to capture some great sunset photos. Keep checking back to see those photos.

I love the month of May, not only is it my birthday month, but its also the turning point for tourist and snowbirds to head back up North. I had the pleasure to spend Saturday with Amanda and David while they celebrated their wedding. It took place at Don Cesar Hotel, a awesome resort style hotel located in St. Pete Beach, Florida.

Who would have guessed that during the dry season it would rain on their wedding day. Mother Nature gave a break to these two, and stopped the rain just 30 minutes prior to their outdoor ceremony. The Vinoy Resort & Golf Club did a great job taking care of the details to help make this a wonderful day for our couple. I’m honored to have had the opportunity to share such this big day in their lives.
