Vy & Scott Wedding {West Palm Beach Wedding Photographer}

Approaching this wedding was quite different from other weddings... I was extremely nervous because I've never met the bride & groom -- not in person... Vy & Scott live in New Orleans, and decided to have a destination wedding in Florida where Vy's parents live...  Since January when Vy and I spoke on the phone to finalize their wedding contract --- we've been kind of like pen pals... Every so often we'd exchange emails to see how wedding plans were going... or she'd email for wedding vendor ideas... or just to share the excitement of their upcoming wedding & finally meeting their photographer...

So on their wedding day, I was super excited to meet them (and anxiously nervous)! But once I met Vy, at her parents house packed with wedding guests, my nervousness melted away... everyone was so kind and so friendly... Vy & Scott were so much fun to get to know in person... they're sweet, caring people with a terrific sense of humor... and the icing on the cake? They were awesome models!!! After the ceremony I even got to steal them away for an hour and a half for their bride & groom portraits! Inside --- I was screaming "Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyy"and giggling like a kid in a candy shop! Oh yea, and it didn't matter that we were outdoors the entire day in the blazing heat --- because well, everyone was sweating -- not just me =) And who can think about the heat when there was love, laughter, family, food, and a huge celebration to be had? Nothing mattered, but Vy & Scott's wedding celebration... I'm so excited to finally share some pictures from their big day... and with so many favorites --- this is only part one of their previews... enjoy!

Scott gifted Vy these beautiful jade earrings which matched the ring her mother lent her for the wedding...

Yushiry&Guadalupe {Wedding & Lifestyle Photography}

I remember a few months ago when Yushiry first contacted me about a photographer, she told me not only did she love my work -- but some of my images made her cry.  Of course, I asked which pictures really touched her and it got me teary eyed -- thinking about this complete stranger who I was able to reach through my images. What an incredible feeling...

Yushiry & Guadalupe got married in the beginning of March at a sweet, intimate outdoor wedding in their backyard... She wanted to have a post bridal session with her husband at beautiful, Morikami -- which is where we shot their session... it was blazing hot as we walked around Morikami -- but I couldn't complain because I wasn't the one wearing a wedding gown & tuxedo... they were definitely troopers, because they didn't complain about the heat at all!  Here are some of my favorite shots followed by their slideshow... enjoy!























Whether it's for a wedding or a portrait session, I love when my husband accompanies me... he not only carries all the equipment... keep me hydrated during days like this... capture amazing shots... but he makes the experience that much more fun, because I get to share my passion with him! How awesome to share your favorite thing to do with your best friend?!  Here are 9 (of infinite) reasons why I love my husband...


and here's the slideshow with more of my favorite shots from the day... aren't they adorable?
