Envision it…See it….shoot it…

Hey guys, just made this little page for our main website. It kind of says it all. Like I said in the previous post, when we walked out in downtown Ft Pierce, we had no idea we were on the verge of capturing this kind of magic…..we almost didnt even shoot this part, glad we did!!!

Wedding Vendor of the week

Starting next week we will be featuring a new weekly article called Vendor of the Week.

There will be discussions with local DJ’s, Banquet Coordinators, Florists, Reception Venue locations, and much much more; so check back often to see who’s this weeks vendor of the week, and learn a little about each of their services.  You can also subscribe to this blog too, that way you will be notified as its updated.

Vero Disney Wedding!!

Well Walt himself couldn’t have drafted a nicer day for Cortney and Franks wedding at Disney Resort in Vero Beach. Once we got them married on the green, Rosanne took over to make sure every detail was perfect in true Disney fashion. Remember its Walt’s quote that said: “there are no small details!!”. DJ’s Frank and Anthony from The Entertainment Connections Premier djs really worked their butts off to ensure everyone had a good time…again as usual. This party was a prime example of how important it is to hire a quality DJ!! Nice job guys!! Now its off to the keys for our bride and groom. Oh yeah, Frank (the groom) has a pretty cool website with some killer digital art he’s done on it. You can check it out HERE.

The “green” at Disney Vero.

A couple of Infrared shots, this one of one of the readings.

another walking into the sunset. I love the way the sun flares like this…I look for it often

Mimosa’s on the beach….what could be better than that?

This is DJ Frank and DJ Anthony from Entertainment Connections Premier Dj’s doing their thing!!

The wonderful lobby at Disney Vero

The South Florida Fair

Had a great time tonight at the South Florida Fair!! If you havent gone, I’d highly recommend it. This year has live sharks and live seal shows and a baby Panther too!! What was really cool was all the “art” thats actually painted on the rides themselves. Below you’ll find a bunch of that cool fair art that was on the rides for those who noticed. Yeah thats a sea lion dancing in the first shot!!! Click on any of the thumbnails to view them larger. Enjoy!!

Engagement Session magic

This was posted on our old blog, but I thought I’d add it back here on the new blog. This is a new image treatment we have developed. Its a custom blue tone we like to call Blue Jean Baby. This is hanging in my office as a 22×28 (and in Tiffany’s House).  You can also see their own very cool wedding website HERE.

Sample Coffee Table Album

Hey Everyone,

Here’s a recent coffee table album we did for one of our brides. Its a great example of what you can do with your images to make a really sensational wedding album you will treasure for all time!!! Now you can even make little mini clone albums from your same design so you have pocket sized versions you can take with you!!!

As you can see, these type of albums really tell the story of the day. This particular one was done as a 12×12 design. One of my favorite sizes, since when open it becomes a full 2 feet wide!! And the aspect ratio is the same as the big movie screens!! I like to shoot the day and design the albums kind of like the director shoots a movie and puts it together. Large scene setting shots….cut away close ups…and lots of action!!!

Enjoy

Another South Florida wedding

Hey everyone, several folks have asked if we had any examples of work that wasn’t shot by me, but rather by our staff photographers. So I’m going to post a quick sideshow of a wedding done by our staff. Its kind of a cool wedding, even a helicopter!! Check it out HERE

The reception was at PGA National in Palm Bch Gardens!!

Another fun Bridal show at Indian Riverside Park

Well, another bridal show in the books. Looks like we had about 80 brides give or take today at the show. Not too much else to do outside since its chilly and windy. The usual cast of local vendors seemed to have changed a bit with new players coming onto the scene, including a new bridal shop from Sewall’s point called Tamera’s Forever Bridals, and some others as well. Another bridal show next week down in Palm Beach Gardens….stop in if you get the chance!!

Old Ft Pierce City Hall wedding

Well this is the first wedding since the new blogs debut, so we’re gonna post a few to get things rolling. Lots of big pix….and of course the tale of the day. They had a picture perfect 85* day here in sunny South Florida. The Old Ft Pierce City Hall building was the setting for Andy and Roxy’s big day. The food was fantastic from White Glove Catering , and the owner David was even on hand to help with the festivities. Even though it was brunch…it was excellent, as we overheard from numerous guests and family members. As you can see we ventured down to the Ft Pierce Yacht Club to get some cool shots by the water, then played a little in the streets of Downtown Ft Pierce.

Watch a slideshow of this wedding HERE )

Congrats again Roxy and Andy!!

da choos baby…da choos

Gotta love those big eyes!!

This is at the Ft Pierce Yacht Clubs dock.

Great light in the landing area…..

A cool infra red shot done in our “Blue Jean Baby” action.
