Feeling the happiest day of your life! Sara + Kyle

The art of a wedding day is not just in emotion, imagery, or experience, it's about the feelings...the tears in a mothers eyes as their oldest daughter gets ready for the biggest day of her life, the note the bride reads from a gift her groom thoughfully presented to her just before the wedding. These once in a lifetime feelings happen as the bride puts on her dress over powered by love, excitment, and a million other emotions I can't yet relate to are which are now blushing through her eyes as the dress slipped and her shoes are slipped onto her feet.
There is nothing more amazing then a fancy wedding with genunie people who not only fill each table with bottles of Veuve Clicquot champagne but also with smiles. The laughter takes center stage as the band sends out a contageious vibe of music...if you wer'en drinking the champaign, you are now! The essance of creating a magical day is in the decor, the architecture of the location you choose to say "I do", the colors on your invitation, the fonts on menue cards, the laughter of the guests being merry while your best friend gives one of their best speaches of their life; as you look over to see the moms smile and tears on her face simultaneously. I must say that this wedding was above and beyone my wildest dreams! I loved every single detail, BIG & small! I love the lasting sip after the taste of Cristal champagne and the smell of Sara's dads Cuban cigars by the fire pit. Looking across the room at the dinner tables filled with family and friends, I think, wow this is the happiest day of this families life! Sara's dad said it best in his speech at the end of the night, "Sara, thank you for allowing me the privilage to walk to you down the isle as I present you to such a great man. This is the happiest day of my life! Cheers. I love you both." As the band played Something by the Beatles, the night could have gone on for days and the party in this family who has so much to celebrate will never end.
Cheers to a wonderful, genuine and classy family that will forever hold a special place in my heart and lifes work.

Meredith + Evan...Sundy House















As I begin to ponder what to write about Meredith & Evan here on my blog I reminisce their intimate wedding at the Sundy House in Delray Beach. It's a classy Key West style cottage inn and restaurant. Just as you hear the sounds of the leaves dancing in the wind you see what seems like an endless pathways meandering through a green jungle. It was the charm of this tucked away place I was loving! A secret venue planted in a hip, classy yet bohemian town. As I arrived, I was feeling both adventurous in this jungle & a bit romantic! As I fantasized, the light splashes through the trees and I begin to envision how my pictures are going to turn out...it was then time stood still. (Ohhh how I love when that happens!)
So here they are! A few of many I took while documenting Meredith getting ready, their jewish ceremony and lunch reception. I appreciated Meredith and Evans trust in giving me creative freedom to take pictures prior to the ceremony! I loved they way they held onto each other and knew that they were not only going to soon be married but would walk down the isle and begin a new adventure. I too was able to witness the people who were closest to them in their lives while seated in this little place like heaven as they said their vows under the most rustic and fragrant chuppah! Enjoy these images and cheers to a great couple that I admire. I'm looking forward to sharing Dorians video when it is ready in a few weeks. I know it will compliment the photographs and bring more life to all the fleeting moments that danced like the leaves on the trees!
