Marriage is about love and a new beginning. The opening chapter to a life of adventure, challenges and the rewards of living a life with the love of our life. Before every newly married couple is a book yet to be filled with the story of two lives brought together. What their story is nobody knows ~ but with every anniversary, every child born, vacations taken and the ups and downs of life,  this book will develop into a marvelous story of lives lived.

For us as photographers we realize that we are illustrating this wonderful new beginning. As years pass, the images will take on a life of their own with children and grandchildren marveling with joy at seeing Mom in her wedding dress and Dad with such emotion as he married their Mother. The photos will provide an anchor to the joy, respect and love that their parents feel for each other and the love they feel for those around them.

They’ll see in the image below, their great grandmothers sharing in the joy of being witness to another chapter in their lives beginning as their grandchildren begin theirs.

Generations will understand the beginning of their marriage is anchored in love for God and their Jewish faith. The caress of Rabbi Bookman’s blessings ~ prayers ~ a foundation of strength to begin their lives together.

Just married and the exuberant expressions of “just married” across their faces says so much.

The excitement and beauty of a Bride as she is raised during a Hora with her beloved ~ in  a sense spiritually supported by the community of family and friends ~ a moment truly shared between them a she looks into his eyes with pure joy!

The moment that 2011 ended and 2012 began and I am reminded of the New Years Eve scene in “When Harry Met Sally”  “And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it’s not because I’m lonely, and it’s not because it’s New Year’s Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.” Harry Burns ~When Harry Met Sally”

5,4,3,2,1 Happy New Years!!!! This moment is so indicative of the celebration that we experienced that night. Carefully look at this image ~ it’s so tells the story!

In my opinion, there’s nothing more exciting than a birthday party! (Well, maybe a wedding too!) I’m excited to be shooting Lynna’s Bat Mitzvah this coming Saturday at SET Nightclub. When we did these portraits, I had the best time  and really got to know who she was and how full of life she is! She is such a natural in front of the camera as well! Before our shoot, I learned she was planning a “burlesque” themed soiree and immediately suggested she get wardrobe that matched the look of the night. I suggested she look into C.Madeline in North Miami. Their house stylist, Francy did a fantastic job finding something as super unique as Lynna!

The event is being designed by A Joy Wallace Catering Production Design so it truly promises to be an unforgettable night! Looking forward to Saturday!!

Time to celebrate!

Four Seasons Miami Wedding

 

We are amazed with all the beautiful weddings that we get to photograph and all the amazing moments that we get to capture at each one of these events! As photographer we are so blessed to experience love, joy and your history in the making. Well Sarah and Matthew’s Jewish wedding was a joy to photograph from the beauty of  Moms, Dads and Grandparents experiencing the love of their lives take the next step in life to an intimate Ketubah signing, a joyful ceremony and one incredible party!

Love this moment between Sarah and Mom ~ a real moment captured by a sensitive eye. Quite often I ask my Brides ~ are you looking for fantasy or reality? The answer I get from those Brides that choose us is “reality”. Their looking to have captured those subtle moments, the moments that mean the most that are not so obvious.

But that doesn’t mean we can’t have a little fantasy and whimsy in the images that we create! I just love this sweeping vision of beauty ~ a lightness of being “beautiful”. Now when the above image was taken, so was the one below!

A great little detail captured by Cristobal ~ truly an intuitive stroke of artistic genius!

When I tell you anything can happen at a wedding and how we are always ready to get that moment ~ another great image by Cris!

Would you believe this is the valet parking area of the Four Seasons Miami…this hotel is one of my favorite place to photograph ~ there’s so many wonderful visuals to work with!

These guys are truly into the moments and definitely love the camera!

Flying high during the Hora ~ you go to love the exuberance and joy that this dance takes the wedding energy to!
