Anna + Juan – A true love story

Love, respect, kindness and any other word you can think of within this category will fit what I was able to capture from Anna and Juan’s wedding, It was a different feeling when the party ended and I went home, happy to rest, but at the same time I wanted to be there. I’m happy I was able to capture all those emotions in pictures, I also would like to mention that Anna’s bouquet has the same design of her mother’s bouquet, and the most emotional moment, was the grandfather and bride dance, where Anna’s mother recorded with a cell phone her grand father playing the piano, and they played that recording at their dance.

Olenka + David’s Wedding

I’ll start writing this blog post asking you to think of the sweetest couple you ever know, got it? now double it, it’s Olenka and David. It’s incredible how visible these two were made for each other. The most amazing part is that it doesn’t end there, Olenka and David’s family are so caring and special, that it has been 5 days since their wedding, and I still miss them

We started at the Mayfair, with the super make up artist Dunia Rivero, not the first time I worked with her, and for sure not the last one – I also got to meet this dynamic duo of videographers from Argentina, Luis and Eddy from Films TV, and the party rocked with Jorge from vision DJ’s, not to mention the beauitful flowers from Marta Villar Floral design that transformed The Cocoplum Women’s Club into an extraordinary venue.

Elizabeth + Miguel Wedding

Breathtaking, this is the only word that I found to be closest to what Elizabeth and Miguel’s wedding was. It started at the Biltmore Hotel with the guys, and Miguel’s family, then to the beautiful Golf Suite to capture Elizabeth and her bridesmaid

Ceremony took place in the beautiful Saint Francis de Sales church in South Beach, followed by “the reception” in the Cocoplum women’s club, which was a blast, the decoration, flowers and lighting created an awesome atmosphere, and the band Tartara and their DJ took care of people’s fun, for me, this was a 13 hour wedding that didn’t last more than 2 hours

Nardin + Sabri | A night to remember

I had the privilege to shoot Nardin and Sebri’s wedding, they’re egyptian and this unforgettable night was like a trip to Cairo – a full Coptic orthodox ceremony, completed with a beautiful reception at the Westin Colonnade in coral gables, live egyptian band, belly dancer, 90% of the people speaking in a language that I couldn’t understand a word and a lot of fun, not to mention that Isaac, the tropical storm, was starting to pass by, fortunately it didn’t interfere in this wonderful night. I hope you enjoy this amazing story

Bianca is coming :) and in some rare occasions I shoot pregnancy photos :)

I’m an exclusive wedding photographer, but, for every rule there is an exception, specially when these exceptions happens with people that are great friends, Rafael and Caroline are one of these people that I’ll definitely make any exception for them, even maternity photography, which I promised myself that I had no intention doing it professionally, but like I always say, it doesn’t matter what you do, as long as you’re doing with the right people. Am I going to do maternity sessions in the near future? if all the pregnant ladies will be as nice as Caroline were, why not? but having a wife that went thru 2 pregnancies, I have a clue what mood swings can do… lol

I hope you enjoy this session, in this case, you won’t see the traditional maternity photo shoot, Caroline is a great fashion photographer, and she wanted an Editorial “fashiony” look to it

Mairelys + Carlos [Love Story]

Answer: LOVE + A LOT OF FUN! – Well, It was hard to remember a wedding that had such fun as Carlos and Mairelys… well, it starts with their heritage, cubans and I’ll tell you what, they do know how to party, it went all night long, and the rhythm didn’t slowed down.

My last wedding of 2010. Caryn and Federico’s story could easily be a movie, She went to study in Spain, and met him there, he’s a teacher and decided to live in Miami, where Caryn is from… As you can see in the photos, the happiness around was incredible, what a vibe. I loved it.

Joanna and Franck

[singlepic id=584 w=564 h=700 float=]

Last saturday was awesome, Franck and Joanna arrived one week prior to their wedding from Paris, where they’re from. Franck is french, and brought his family from france, Joanna is from Colombia, but living in france for a while, and they decided to get married in Miami, it would be a lot easier for Joanna’s family to come. I was completely lost, my french is limited to: Bon Soir and Merci Beaucoup, It was a challenge with the formals to do group shots with people that you cannot understand, but the love language was above any language and everything was perfect. Franck and Joanna did a great job and when you mix all these good things, you get wonderful shots.
