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:)

Friday was a day full of fast moving thunderstorms. But they were looking out for the ceremony. It went off just perfect, storms ended around 6pm and it was a beautiful day! I started with photos from inside the house and worked my way to the setup to capture their beautiful colors. Orange and Tropical Colors were really perfect for this place. What is the place? www.paradisecove.com. Soon you will see all my work from there on http://paradisecoveweddings.com/ NOT JUST YET THO!:) Until then here’s the wedding hi-lited!

Adam and Regina’s wedding was such great fun! Lindsay and Brandon were able to capture their day as I was at Chelsey and Ryan’s wedding. I was able to join them during the reception.

The ceremony took place at United Brethren in Port Orange. You could definitely sense the love, close family and even laughter among everyone.
Reception followed at the Peninsula Club which was beautifully decorated with lavender and yellow and daisies everywhere! So glad I was able to share the day with Adam and Regina. Everyone was having a blast dancing the night away! Congrats Adam and Regina! Best wishes to you and your family!

The Party didn’t stop all night!

Tiffany and Justin’s meeting at Tavern and Chapel in the Garden

Mark — Mon, 24 May 2010 12:31:59 +0000

I always enjoy good meetings, An hour and a half of good conversation, questions and a start to some beautiful photos for their October Wedding in 2011. It’s official, the last saturday for October is officially taken The Tavern’s office was the location and It was nice to speak to katie before hand, I can’t tell you how much their garden area offers SO many opportunities for photos. With all the weddings I’ve done at the location, I really don’t think I have captured the entire grounds beautiful locations it has to offer. Each time I work with any of the staff at Tavern, they are courteous and professional and get the task done. I am excited to have another wedding here in the upcoming months. Tiffany and Justin will have an engagement session as well The location is yet to be determined.

Checkout my other posts for photos in the garden.

Congrats to Patrick and Virginia

I met with them this week on their trip down to Florida from Canada. While meeting we discussed some details on the photos. There were a couple special shots included a cute unique photo on a special golf hole at the reception area. They are getting married at Plantation Bay in Ormond Beach and we’ll be traveling to the beach for some cute photo opts on the beachside while the cocktail hour is in progress.

Check back for some pics of the cute couple! I can’t wait to work with them with the photos on their special day. Their wedding is April 2011!

Opinions PLS!:) Whats your take on this photo I did? When I started photography “this” was the cool thing to do, color and black and white photos combined. Then I found it to be amateur. But im just not sure anymore? How do YOU like the color and black and white?!

I used to do this a lot because it was the ‘fad’ back in the day of first starting:) What do you think? SO yeah, if you are looking for a photographer who edits the photos in black and white and color. It’s easy and can be done!

When I arrived today, around 2:00pm, it was all in place to be a great day! Wedding decor was being hung, and the groom was getting in place. The weather was perfect. No rain, just clouds and nice temperatures. The ceremony was set for 3:00pm, and they were right on time. The reception was held at the Chart House in Daytona Beach outside. Some of the weather began to let loose at the end of the night but it didn’t stop the partying!
