Jenna and Keith | The Casements | Riverfront Center Ormond Beach

mark — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 17:20:56 +0000

Details of the flowers and photography and rings are a must! The shoes are one of the most photographed item of a wedding if you didn’t know:)

The selection of the shoes, rings, flowers and dress are always unique to each person and these are <3!

Bridal Set from a wedding.
I try to give each of our couples a brand new shot when I am processing ideas. I love this Strawberry red shot of this beautiful ring!

The Casements in Ormond Beach, Fl is the most beautiful area to get married. Even inside or out it allows for the best feeling for a river view and sunset location

Dress – So beautiful! I found a location here to show the dress off before Jenna slipped it on. There’s the shoes again!:)

What a beautiful group! As you can see we have sisters, bridesmaids, Honor and the bride:)

Shoes again!:) with Keith and his brother finalizing the touches!

Such a cutie Flower girl!

Complements to Emily with White Blossom Wedding and Events for the amazing hand crafted Driftwood arch!

The casements are truly amazing with a reception at the St. Demetrios Riverfront center. I think this is one of the best combinations I have seen in a while!

Monika & Mike | Peninsula Club | Daytona Beach Wedding Photographer

mark — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 14:21:29 +0000

On Saturday afternoon we arrived to a beautiful bride to be and her lovely bridesmaids. We started with photos of hair and makeup and detailed shots of the dress. From there we drove to the church so that Monika could get ready. Her nerves were shaking, but her friends and family kept her calm and made her laugh.

The groom and the groomsmen arrived and looked just as stunning as ever in their tuxes. Ready for the big day, they were easy to work with while we got photos of them before the ceremony. Inside the church the bridal party enters and then all rise for the bride. As Monika approached the alter, tears of joy ran down her face. The beautiful couple exchanged their vows as they held each other’s hand. They lit a unity candle as a symbol of their two lives joining as one. After the guests left the church, Monika and Mike ran out the door and the guest threw heart shaped bird seed in the air.

The bridal party portraits were taken on Beach Street in Daytona. A cute little park with bridges, ducks, and rows of cat-tails. We had a blast running down the street, laying in the grass, and chasing ducks!

The reception took place at the beautiful Peninsula Club in Daytona Beach. The couple entered into the first dance, and then toasts and prayer were said. Two of Monika’s bridesmaids serenaded her with beautiful songs. And even the ring bearer gave a mighty fine little toast.

After dinner was served there was the father daughter dance, the bouquet and garter toss, and the cutting of the cake. The night ended with a packed dance floor! Drinks were served, the music was good, and everyone was having a blast.

Nathali & Victor Palm Coast Yacht Club | Palm Coast Wedding Photographer

mark — Tue, 19 Apr 2011 20:50:55 +0000

Nathali & Victor had their wedding and reception at the Palm Coast Yacht Club. They both got ready at separate houses and then Nathali arrived at the ceremony site by limo with her bridesmaids and mother.

Nathali was a perfect model who knew how to position her body, look into the camera, and smile. She had creative ideas and locations in mind, which made her a cinch to photograph! Victor was wearing his Dress Blues and looked stunning. The entire wedding ceremony was in Portuguese. Although we don’t know what exactly was being said you could see and feel the love during those moments. The bride and groom were both beaming with joy as they exchanged their vows.

After the ceremony we took Nathali and Victor to the European Village for their romantic portraits. All the people clapped and cheered and congratulated the two on their marriage. We walked around, sat at a little restaurant outside, and took photos by a fountain.

When we returned to the reception hall, the bridal party was introduced and Nathali and Victor were introduced into a unity candle ceremony and then their first dance. Nathali and Victor preformed a beautiful waltz, and she looked like a princess! It was magical and romantic.

The evening ended with the cake cutting, and lots of dancing. Then when the bride and groom exited the building they were greeted by all the guests blowing bubbles! It was a beautiful wedding with a beautiful ending to the night.

One of my favorite venues for weddings! Tavern and Chapel in the Garden | Central Florida Wedding Photographer

mark — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 15:43:30 +0000

Why? It just is! Have you been there? The garden, tavern and chapel are limitless with different photos. My first wedding there was in 2000, and since then I don’t think that I have ever run out of ideas for photos. It really is a location that you can do a ceremony, and feel like you’re in a different relaxing world by taking a few steps into the garden. There’s a stream that runs through the garden with cute bridges and walkovers that simply offer fun photos with amazing backdrops. Another perfect thing about the tavern is the history for the entire location. The vintageness’, if you will, with the tavern, and with the chapel, cottage, and train car in the front of the venue. The place has it all.

Helping hands at the Tavern and Chapel are beyond what you could ask for. Kellie and Katie since day one of working there have been extraordinarily helpful and professional. Their planning service they offer in addition to the venue is phenomenal. I always recommend hiring a planner 100% simply because it goes smoother! When they do it its like butter. If you haven’t been to one of the open houses to get a full tour of the venue you should! Their next open house is… March 26th from 11am – 2pm!! Check it out! You’ll enjoy the time there with great food and wedding professionals, its like a mini bridal show:)

From all the way from Sydney Australia Congrats to Andrew and Melanie! Central Florida Photographer Australia

It was a beautiful day at the tavern and chapel yesterday, but it was even better because Andrew and Melanie were getting married! Katie and Kellie from the tavern were there to make the day go just right! It was amazing to see them again! Andrew had just flown in from Sydney a few days before and we completed their engagement shoot here at ponce inlet. Andrews accent is always so cool to listen to, but a hint of Melanie’s had popped out in the beginning. She is originally from the US, but it was cute when it slipped. Their engagement shoot was at the Ponce Inlet lighthouse park and however a bit windy, the beach did its job and created some beautiful shots all the way through sunset.The day started off fun with them and I was arriving at Agatha’s cottage and started working some shots with the rings and getting ready shots. There was a great sense of having fun, really energetic and a little bit of ‘karaoke’. I had a blast listening to the singing and some Christmas music in march! They had a beautiful ceremony, Andrew was gentle wiping some tears away from Melanie, and just a genuine feeling of love in the air! Take a look!:)

See you soon!:)
