Hello and thanks for visiting! Today I want to share with you an engaging story as told by Greg, the guy that asked Jennifer to marry him. I love hearing these stories and it is intriguing how very personal and the amount of thoughtful, romantic planning goes into this very special moment.
“That bridge is special to us because… she told me that every Saturday during the summer brides getting married in the area would come to that bridge for pictures.”
“…I took her out for a dance lesson. She always said that she wanted to take dance lessons…”
How many times have you been on a date and the rain catches you, you take her hand and find a lonely doorway or you happen to have an umbrella that just draws you that much closer.. So when Greg shared with me that the weekend that he met Jennifer it rained and the day that he asked her to marry him it rained…so the planned walk around the city turned into a early dinner in hopes that the rain would subside. “After we finished dinner and I had gone to the bathroom twice to look at the ring!!!”… the rain stopped long enough for their walk to that bridge and as planned Greg took a knee and ask Jennifer to marry him and after a positive response and a hug that you want to last forever…it starts to rain again…who cares! They just got engaged and with that feeling anything can happen and it’s wonderful!
Upon entering their suite at the hotel, a hundred roses were awaiting Jennifer and the cork popped, the champagne was poured and a toast for love everlasting sealed the deal. “I was just so happy to begin my life with Jennifer that all I could think about was the moment”
Enjoy an amazing slide show of this beautiful beginning!
“The engagement shoot was a wonderful time for Jennifer and me and we loved every minute of it. Pictures are very important for me and Jennifer as we aren’t together every day, and when I look at the pictures from the engagement shoot I think about that day and how happy we are and it makes me smile. Knowing that that photo shoot was kind of the “unofficial” start to our wedding celebration is something very special… it is an honor having you photograph such a special occasion for the two of us”
…and the day they had their engagement session…it rained…and then the sun came out and somewhere I am sure there was a rainbow. Well, we are so looking forward to an amazing wedding and partly cloudy skies with no chance of rain!
“Some people come into our lives and quickly go. Some stay for awhile and leave footprints on our hearts. And we are never, ever the same.” (Anonymous)
When I asked Julie to share how she found her “bershect” her soul mate, this quote became all the more noteworthy. Allow me to share with you what Julie shared with me.
“Mutual friends thought we would be perfect for each other…. so we agreed to be set up. After talking on the phone, we decided to meet up for a drink. One drink turned into four hours of talking and one incredible first date. Before the end of the first date, we made plans for the second, and have been inseparable ever since. We both just knew that we had found our other half. “
Well Julie and Jason shared with family and friends their love and respect for each other in a beautiful Temple Emanuel wedding in Miami Beach.
So all you single people out there…be nice to everyone you meet…they may just introduce you to your soul mate! Thanks Julie and Jason for an amazing Miami wedding experience…
It’s amazing what can happen when three people get together for an afternoon of fun. As we stepped out on Las Olas Blvd, Brandt confided to me-he wasn’t all that thrilled with having his picture taken but being the stand up guy that he is, he gave his all and showed Kendall how much he loves her. After hearing how he proposed, this comes as no surprise. I asked Kendall to share this story with me so I could share it with you.
“So I got ready and asked where we were going and he said it was a surprise, thinking nothing of it at all I just went with the flow. We get in the car and pull up to the Emerald Grande. At this point I am very confused and don’t know what is going on but very excited because I know they have a ton of restaurants and bars attached.”
“We park the car and enter into the elevator and Brandt pushed PH (penthouse). Now I am really curious. We get out of the elevator and he opens the door. The room is dark with rose petals scattered on the floor, tea candles everywhere, a bottle of Veuve Clicquot Champagne on ice, chocolate covered strawberries, and Michael Buble playing in the background. I was speechless and the view was incredible. Overlooking the ocean and finally the rain had stopped.”
“After taking everything in, Brandt popped the bottle of Champagne and poured both of us a glass. We toasted and Brandt said “This toast is to the best three years of my life, I love you and I am so happy I found you”
“Aww, I was still in shock of everything he had done for our Anniversary and I had only bought him a CD. He sure showed me up! We continued to drink our glass of champagne, enjoy the music and of course enjoy the view!“
“Brandt then poured the second glass of champagne. He toasted and said, “Now this toast is to the rest of our lives, Kendall will you marry me?” Brandt pulled the ring out of his pocket and got down on one knee. I began to shake and could not believe what was really happening. It was perfect, it was magical, it was romantic! I will never forget that moment and all the feelings that were going on at that time when we made that last toast!”
Enjoy this wonderful slide show of Kendall & Brandt’s engagement session!
I was so happy to hear what Kendall had to say after seeing her engagement photos: “I am so excited to have you be part of our special day!” and we are thrilled that we’ll be at your Ritz Carlton Ft Lauderdale wedding too!
Kendall’s Mom shared her feelings with me after seeing the slide show: “I just saw the slide show of Kendall’s & Brandt’s engagement pictures—-they were absolutely amazing—they brought tears of joy. I was so happy to see your creativity as a photographer bring those photo’s together to tell the story. I LOVED THEM. The beach pictures are beautiful actually, they are SPECTACULAR!!!!”
Eryn and Andrew’s Miami Beach engagement session took me back to the beach scene in the movie “The Way We Were” and there is something wonderfully romantic about a walk on a cold, windy beach that just encourages cozy, engaging photographs.
As weddings are each a unique display of love and commitment, how couples become engaged are wonderfully creative and as a Miami wedding photographer I love to hear how the “How did he ask you to marry him?” story. Well Eryn and Andrew’s engagement story is absolutely brilliant!
“Andrew worked with almost everyone in my life to pull off the world’s greatest surprise! My boss Karen and my co-worker Peggy tricked me into going to the Ritz Carlton Key Biscayne in order to find a replacement venue for our holiday party, because they told me that our current venue had a flood. Well once I got to the Ritz I was taken on a tour of different ballrooms only to find the last room covered in flowers, champagne, chocolate covered strawberry’s and Andrew on one knee! He told me that he loved me very much, he wanted to spend the rest of my life with him and would I marry him? Of course I was jumping up and down and said yes right away!!! We popped open the champers and celebrated all weekend long!!!”
This is the image that graces their amazing “Save The Date” card.
So enjoy this engaging engagement portrait session slide show!
Thank you both Eryn and Andrew for an amazingly romantic engagement session. We are so looking forward to your June wedding at the beautiful Mirasol Country Club in Palm Beach Gardens. And for more great engagement sessions click ENGAGEMENT
I have always felt that we cross paths with our “true love” before we realize that they are the ONE…and so Candice and Jonathan met in law school and became friends…being told that Candice was engaged (but wasn’t) Jonathan respectfully kept the relationship platonic and sincere…upon learning that she was available… Jonathan made the comment “You always have someone and just think about me this time”.
Well at that time Candice was living in Florida and Jonathan was living in New York. Well one visit led to another, then another and they became a couple.
So you’re probably wondering about the Magic Blanket…sounds like a Disney storyline is coming. Well one day while walking through Central Park in NYC, Jonathan invited Candice to have a seat on this blanket that just happened to be available in the park. You can imagine the line of questions coming from two attorneys. C: What do you mean just sit on this blanket? Whose blanket is it anyways? J: Just sit on the blanket… J: So are you thirsty? And the “magic blanket” came up with some Champagne…after an interesting conversation (ask them) Jonathan stated that “I love you and want to spend the rest of my life with you”.
Well I think you can imagine by these beautiful engagement portraits that Candice said “YES”…and the wedding is this Saturday! Enjoy the slide show and as the beach image states “Show some love” with a sweet comment!
This is what Candice + Jonathan had to say about their experience with us:
Roy,

They danced by the light of the moon,
The moon,

They danced by the light of the moon.
Thank you for sharing, the photos are beautiful.
