I cannot stop smiling at this darling duo. 

As the sun was about to set, Rocio and Kevin exchanged their vows at beautiful Casa Marina, A Waldorf Astoria Resort. The last few warm golden rays of early evening sunlight scattered through the palm trees on this magical occasion.

With Kevin's family living on the East Coast and Rocio's family living on the West, one family was bound to travel and they decided that Key West was the perfect tropical wedding destination which happen to be their favorite vacation spot as well.

Traditionally, Rocio's family gifted to the lovely couple an heirloom of specially blessed coins that are being passed on from one generation to the next!

We wish you much happiness, Rocio and Kevin!!! Thank you for letting us capture your special and meaningful celebration!

Last month, we traveled to Aspen, Colorado for Bri's and Travis unforgettable wedding. 

Bri's inspiration for her wedding was an enchanted forest theme with birds and her wedding was absolutely whimsical. 

Their wedding day was surrounded by beauty of every kind, from getting ready in Viceroy in Snowmass Village to the first look in beautiful Hallam Lake at Aces in Aspen followed by the ceremony to the amazing Rock Bottom Ranch in Basalt, Colorado.  Our beautiful bride Bri had A-line Hayley Paige wedding gown in striped ivory color and looked absolutely stunning.

The next day we visited the most beautiful places with panoramic views of rolling hills and distant mountain ranches.  Bri and Travis were such a delight. We loved their laughter, willingness to be silly and adventurous and, most of all, how they relish in each other. 

Congratulations, Bri and Travis!!! We wish you lots of love!

We loved working alongside cinematographer Jeremiah Hutchens.  

After a romantic proposal, Cheryl and Alan decided to have their destination wedding with only a precious handful of their closest friends and family in Key West at The Reach Resort . The bride's chosen hues of tropical blues reflected both the serene beach setting and laid back atmosphere of their union. 

Having a bit of fun before the ceremony, Alan shined a tasteful comedic twist with brilliantly placed leaf of lettuce in his playful smile during their First Look.  

The intimacy of their wedding was further honored by our bride's brother, Paul, presiding over the ceremony and joining Cheryl and Alan together. The two stunning flower girls did their job to perfection, making it almost all the way to the end of the festivities. 

Basking in the glow of the setting sun, love was abundant and felt by all, as two wonderful families became one, and the celebration sparkled on into the night.

Jessica and Jack picked the Southernmost House in Key West offering the perfect destination location for their wedding. With a cozy beach-house vibe, white lights and lanterns strung overhead, their wedding decor was both tropical and romantic in vibrant colors of teal and coral.

Jessica wore a simple and elegant sweetheart neck fit and flare wedding dress and looked absolutely stunning. The first look was very touching.  Jack and Jessica could not see each other but were united at their hands as Jack's grandma gave the blessing on their marriage. 

Jessica and Jack’s friends and family were a lively crew – just the right mix for a fun post-wedding party. Everyone danced into the night to Rusty Lemon's performance, before sending the bride and groom off for more celebration on Duval St.  An abundance of happy tears and laughter saturated our wedding couple's special day, and we were so glad to have been a part of it.

Congratulations Jessica and Jack! We’re proud to share these joyful moments with you!

Misa and Chris traveled from Ohio for this destination wedding at the beautiful Cheeca Lodge in Islamorada.  Misa is originally from the Czech Republic and she was introduced by friends to her groom, Chris, on a Summer evening.  After Chris proposed to Misa in Miami, they started making plans for their dream wedding.

The Cheeca Lodge and Spa was recommended by their dear friend and after seeing photos and traveling to see the location, they knew this is their place they would say their " I do's".  The bride and groom exchanged vows in the presence of their 25 closest friends and family members. 

The couple had a tropical beach wedding with lots of green, white and pink details.  Warm summertime sunshine blessed Misa and Chris's afternoon nuptials and even the rain didn't stop our newlyweds from having so much fun. They danced in the rain on the the rooftop deck until the late hours.  Misa looked stunning in her wedding gown and I was happy to be a part of their special wedding day!

With great pleasure, we introduce Andy and Geoff, two of the sweetest people you’ll ever meet! 

They honored us with complete freedom in our approach to capture the sentiment of their union as it unfolded with a natural photo journalistic approach which just so happens to fit our style perfectly.

The truest expression of love and joy between their family and friends was blessing to behold. 
We wish you all the best in your journey together.  Congratulations Andy and Geoff! 

Every year I travel to Europe to see my family and friends, while visiting some of my favorite countries and booking destination weddings.  This year I was lucky enough to photograph a wedding for my friends Jitka and Jirka in the Czech Republic. They had a beautiful ceremony in the small village of Laskov in Moravia, and a reception in Prostejov with all of their family, friends, and loved ones. 

This almost Autumn wedding was filled with genuine love, special breathtaking moments and lots of fun.
I had the pleasure to photograph this wedding with Marketa Rozsivalova ( Peggy Cotton Photography ) to spoil the couple with lots of photographs to choose from. 

Every wedding in the Czech Republic goes from the early mornings to the late night hours, with lots of unique customs.  One tradition is eating  soup with a broken spoon or one spoon,  and the couple has to feed each other.  Another custom comes after the first cheers and a glass of something yummy, a family member brakes the glass and the bride and groom together have to clean the mess.  It is a early reminder that a couple should do things together, and love each other and support one a another. 

Congratulations, I was happy to celebrate this special day with you!

Christina and Corey are in love,  and they show it in the sweetest way.  This couple has been together for many years, and their affection and love for each other was beaming at this amazing beach wedding under the stars.  Christina and I conversed a lot about the details of her wedding, the planning and our underwater shoot ( another blog will follow ) , and we shared the excitement and anticipation from the moment she was booked. 

The family stayed at the Lighthouse Inn which provided for such a sweet background in downtown Key West and although the skies were not glowing with tropical with sun, this couple radiated love.  The family was full of laughs and playfulness and the beach wedding at Ft Zach was officiated by Christina's father.  There were so many laughs and great moments at this destination wedding. 

We were able to get some great images of the couple at the Fort itself, using the circular stairway and the iconic arches and architecture. The reception overlooking the ocean was spectacular as the ever popular DJ Buggy played a few hours of music that nearly everyone danced too!  What a night and what amazing memories!  Happy and blessed to be a part of this ceremony of love.  Cheers to the newlyweds Christina and Corey!

Despite rain being in the forecast, the weather held out for Meghan and Jeffrey on their wedding day!  The clouds rolled in later in the evening and fortunately Mother Nature held out on the rain until after the ceremony.  We had just a small move from the outside patio at the Reach Resort,  to the inside of the ballroom where everyone had so much fun on the dance floor. Make sure you scroll down to see all the fun pictures! 

Meghan and Jeffrey came to celebrate their destination wedding with friends and family from San Antonio, Texas. 
They choose blush/tan colors and had beautiful homemade decor from driftwood, shells, succulents, babies breath and mercury vases/candles.

Meghan had a cotton lace sweet heart dress with a small diamond belt and looked absolutely gorgeous. 
You can learn a lot about a couple by listening to the toasts that are given.  What did I learn about Meghan and Jeffrey?  I learned that their personalities work together like Yin & Yang,  that they have many people who love them, have fun with, and that a bright and wonderful future full of adventures awaits.

Jennifer and Glen met each other on a blind date that led them to this very special day.  Their love overflows whenever they are near each other.  Their wedding day was intimate and charming with lovely and sentimental details throughout.  The Reach Resort Gazeebo was their wedding venue, and we had a few moments to sneak away and capture some romantic moments with other Key West scenery.

Jennifer's  beautiful wedding gown was fit with sequined details and ruffles.  Jennifer surprised the Glen with a bagpiper who arrived right after the ceremony and played them down the isle.  Not one eye stayed dry.  We love those little special moments and memories that makes every wedding unique. 

Jennifer's bridal party was so fun and playful all day.  Getting ready with them and capturing all of her details was so much fun.  Our flower girl shined throughout the day and kept dancing with her brother all night.  This wedding was sweet and full of love and humorous toasts from loved ones.  Cheers to you Jennifer and Glen, It was a pleasure  and honor to be a part of your special day!
