Paul & Bethel's Winter Haven Wedding

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure to photograph Paul and Bethel's wedding. They were married at Faith Baptist in Winter Haven, Florida. The service and reception were held at the church and they had an amazing display of love and gratitude during the entire evening. It was an experience that I had not been able to experience until now and I was both blessed and honored to be a part of it. I got some great shots and I thought I would share!!



I love all the hands in the frame, trying to adjust the tie and collar...



This little girl was having so much fun and was a ham in front of the camera...



Even the bobble head doll was checkin' out the bride...





Can that smile get any larger!?!





During the ceremony, tons of friends and family came up and said some nice things about the couple...











Paul is a photographer, too. His groom's cake was very cool...



All during the reception, people took a microphone and spoke about their experiences with one or both of the bride and groom. Some of the stories were just hilarious.







The limo driver opened the back of the SUV limo and I was able to grab this great shot of them inside.

Rochelle and Brandon

Rochelle and Brandon had their ceremony and reception at the Hard Rock Hotel at Universal Studios Orlando. The hotel is just stunning.... from the moment you drive through the entrance as its up on a hill (its Central Florida... what the heck is a hill??) and just has this presence. The lobby is chic and hip and the halls are lined with gold and platinum albums of the greatest musicians on earth. The ceremony was outside in the courtyard and we had beautiful blue skies (although the temperature could of been a bit cooler!!). The reception hall was even better... heck it even had this fabric on the walls that was a bit like a leather chamois. Anyway, these two had a blast and I enjoyed myself as well. Here are some of my favorites from the day...

Robert and Michelle's Wedding

Back on the first of March I shot the wedding of the now Robert and Michelle Rivera. Michelle and Robert got married at the always gorgeous St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church in Winter Park. We then moved down to the Florida Mall Hotel and Convention Center.

Everything was set up perfectly and running just on time due to the hard work of Shannon Stinson at A Belle Soiree Weddings & Events. I have to say the room was absolutely beautiful. I have always thought that its the little things that make a huge difference and on that night there were a lot of little things that were just perfect.

I had an amazing time at Robert and Michelle's wedding and I cannot wait to sit down and share these and the rest of their photographs with them. Thanks you two for letting me be your wedding photographer!!

Here are some of my favorites from the night.....

Jason & Dilenia Rienhart Wedding

I think last weekend I spent about 3, maybe 4 waking hours at the house. Between Jason and Dilenia's wedding on Saturday and an all day excursion to the Magic Kingdom on Sunday with the family, it was pretty busy. The funny thing is that it was probably one of the best weekends that I have had in a long time.

I love being a wedding photographer and Saturday I must of had goose bumps three or four times during the ceremony and reception. I keep saying to myself, "God, I love this job....". They had an outdoor ceremony, beautiful sunset, Salsa band and I think every single guest was family. Very cool. Of course, Sunday was a blast. It wasn't my 16 month old sons first trip to Disney, but certainly his first that he knew that he was somewhere magical. I took some shots of our trip that I will probably post tomorrow, but first things first.... I present to you some of my favorite shots from Jason and Dilenia's amazing wedding...
