As you can see, this was such a wonderful event to witness. Liliana and Victor had two wedding ceremonies at LaPlaya: a Chinese tea ceremony followed by a western ceremony overlooking the beach. During the tea ceremony, the bride and groom kneel before their parents and serve them tea as a way to express thanks. In return, the couple is given a red envelope symbolizing good luck. After that we stole away to a leafy path for a first sight. It must have been nice for them to have a moment to themselves between ceremonies! And how about those gorgeous flowers? What a lovely day.

Yesterday we photographed a gorgeous wedding at The Naples Beach Hotel for Andrea and Brett. We couldn’t have asked for a happier couple or a prettier day. Andrea and Brett were pros in front of our cameras as we made our way around the property snapping so many fun shots. The Naples Beach Hotel has many visually intriguing backdrops, from the beach to the lush greenery to the texture of the walls. The Jewish ceremony took place on the lawn adjacent to the beach just before sunset. A steel drummer set the tone for the cocktail hour.

Andrea kept her baby blue and chocolate brown scheme running through her reception decor, as seen on the candlelit tables. It’s always entertaining to watch the couple teetering above the crowd during the hora. Nearby, we set up the fotobooth (our own version of the old school photo booth) and spread out the props. We’re still a little amazed at how much attention our little fotobooth gets… it was slammed! Later in the evening came la hora loca, which is what it sounds like. Everyone dances around with maracas, whistles, blow-up guitars, and silly hats. We had lots of fun with Andrea, Brett, and their sweet families. Thanks for having us, we wish you all the best!

Here’s a sneak peak from the most recent fotobooth at Bob and Joie’s wedding. Our fotobooth is a modern take on the classic photo booth in which you jump in front of a backdrop to take your own photos with a remote. The photos pop up on a screen for viewing, you can take as many as you like, and the photos are later posted online for $1. We’ll post more from Bob and Joie’s wedding shortly!

Just before the holidays, Nancy and Austin tied the knot in a beautiful garden ceremony at the Renaissance Vinoy Resort and Golf Club in St. Pete’s. Their wedding included some wonderful details, which are always fun to shoot. (Nancy’s lace Vera Wang dress was seriously beautiful.) We wish you the best Nancy and Austin!

Inevitably, some wedding mornings start off grey and rainy. But what I love is that most often the sun peeks out minutes before the ceremony. (Although should it rain at the Pink Shell you get those fun pink umbrellas.) This was the story at our own wedding, and also for Annel and Owen, who had a wonderful day celebrating with family and friends. Check out their cute sandcastle. Congrats you two, you were wonderful to work with!

We had a great turnout at our party with Sassy Cakes. Thanks so much again to all you beautiful people for making an appearance! The girls had an oh so delicious cupcake feast up for grabs and the fotobooth was a hit. Have a look at our gallery to see all the party pics. And thanks again to David and Daniel of Salon Mulberry for the lovely hair and makeup!
