Mirasol Country Club Palm Beach Gardens Wedding

Weddings are a myriad of moments that continue throughout the day. From getting ready to that last wonderful dance of the evening~the feeling is similar to that of an amazing roller coaster that you never want to get off of. With Eryn and Andrew’s wedding day experience it was a ride of a lifetime~the beginning of so many wonderful things to come.

I have three sons and when my oldest, Ryan was getting ready for the wedding I remember emotions running through my heart of joy and pride. I can relate to Mom’s reaction above. You’re there helping your baby girl get ready for the most incredible day of her life and you step back and look at the most beautiful bride and it just hits you…this day is really here!

Eryn looked amazing in her Monique Lhuillier designed bridal gown! I love the way she just totally fits in Andrew’s arms. A romantic vibe is so alive in these two!

“I remember waiting to walk down the aisle and feeling really nervous, then once they gave me the go ahead to walk and I saw Andrew’s face everything went silent, I didn’t hear the music, I didn’t see anyone in the crowd, all I could see was this big smile on my almost husband’s face and I knew this was the moment that was going to change my life forever!”

“The rest was a walk in the park, I’ve never felt more confident than I did when I was reciting my vows.”

“It was truly the most magical day of my life and I’m the luckiest girl in the world!”

Loren shared this pearl of wisdom with me: “Its funny how when you least expect it you find your other half.”

And I love this snippet of how they met and became engaged: “We met at dinner with mutual friends. I wasn’t planning to go but decided last minute and was late as usual so there was one seat open right next to David… we immediately clicked. He was warm and so funny.”…“The night David proposed I had no idea. It was the night before New Years during a romantic dinner- he told me he couldn’t imagine starting the New Year without completely starting it together…that was how we started 2009!”

Loren and David were married at the tropical paradise that is Jungle Island in Miami surrounded by wonderfully loving family and great friends. Loren is one of four sisters that are amazingly close with a lot of terrific nieces and nephews…and David’s grandfather is his Best man…that is so cool! And get this…Rabbi Abramowitz was Loren’s parents Rabbi when they had their Bar and Bat Mitzvah’s, their wedding and the weddings of Loren’s three sisters!

Loren shared her feelings of anticipation with me as her parents escorted her down the aisle:“I remember I started to walk down the aisle and had butterflies but the minute I saw David standing at the end I was absolutely calm and couldn’t wait to get to the end of the aisle so we could begin our lives together.”

Enjoy their amazing wedding video!

To say that their wedding was a wild one would be an understatement; with music provided by none other than the Marcia Mitchell band. Marcia and her master musicians created an ambiance that could not be tamed…and when one of those gorilla’s showed up…he just made a monkey of himself.

Loren shared with me her thoughts about her wedding day: “Our wedding night was unforgettable; we danced until we literally couldn’t dance anymore. From the band to the flowers to the amazing food (including banana splits!) it was like a fairy tale. Roy and his team didn’t miss a second of the evening!”

Loren and David, on behalf of Ricardo, Stella and myself—Thank you for an amazing wedding experience. We are honored by your decision to choose only the best that Miami has to offer in wedding photography.

Have a great day and stop in again soon…we have so much to share with you!

I am fascinated by a great love story and how couples come together. One of my favorite brides, Nynke shared the story of how her guy,  Brian swept her off her feet : “He totally had me when he combined a really goofy way of asking me out on a date with a dance in the middle of a packed bar where literally no one else was dancing…I figured this guy was funny, outgoing, and was willing to make a fool of himself for a date with me…how could I say no?” The next thing you know four enjoyable years have passed with Brian. One day Nynke is getting a massage and the masseuse finishes and tells her to just relax and that she’ll be right back. Unbeknownst to Nynke, the masseuse had carefully placed rose petals throughout the room. Moment’s later, she feels her hand being held as Brian softly whispers  “Nynke, I want you-will you marry me?”

A great moment as Dad walks his daughter to the ceremony.

So with a few yeses along the way and a couple of I do’s, Nynke & Brian had a fantastic Biltmore Hotel wedding in Coral Gables, Florida. Their wedding took place on a beautiful sunny day on the back lawn of the Biltmore that was followed by an amazing reception in the Granada ballroom of this legendary hotel. Can these guys party! We had an amazing time capturing many warm wonderful moments.

Mom and Nynke celebrating like there’s no tomorrow!

Shortly after the wedding, Nynke took the time to write one of those wonderful emails that confirm why I love being a wedding photographer: “We both had the absolute time of our lives. It was a really amazing experience and you were so great Roy. EVERYONE was raving about you and kept telling me how lucky I was to have such an awesome photographer”. Thank you Nynke for this meaningful note.

Don’t you just love the details and how about the “Gator” groom cake!

With the help of Carrie and her cohorts in Sex and the City I started paying greater attention to the “shoes”…Manolo’s, Choo’s, Dior…but where was Christian Louboutin?

Recently we photographed Jacqueline & Don’s Villa Woodbine wedding and she had these sexy, sultry Christian Louboutin’s red sole…

Then I heard about the mythical Christian Louboutin Something Blues…brilliant I thought…but I had never seen these elusive beauties until last Saturday at Melissa & Zavier’s incredible wedding…I arrived early…said hello to the girls and went looking for these…

After much research on the blogosphere…it appears that they are no longer available from Louboutin but after a little blog research you can send your shoes to the Master Cobbler include a color swatch of the shade of blue you want…Wedgewood, Tiffany, French blue when you send in your shoes and the artists at The Master Cobbler will make your something blue bridal shoe dream come true. This includes both leather and synthetic soles.
