Engagement Shoot in Central Park

Yesterday I was privileged to be able to "crash" an engagement shoot with my bride and groom, Zara & Luis and one of my favorite photographers, Stephen DeVries. It was a beautiful, hot day in Central Park but it matched our beautiful and hot couple. I snapped a few shots of Stephen in action and can't wait to see his photos.

We met Stephen last year in NYC when he was on staff with Times Square Church. Stephen moved back to Birmingham, AL but travels throughout the US shooting amazing weddings. He is a published film photographer and I am blessed to know him as a friend and even more excited about getting to work with him again on Zara & Luis's wedding next year in NYC. Thanks Stephen for letting me hang out with you all.

Jennifer & Evan are married!

I had the pleasure of coordinating Jennifer & Evan's wedding on April 30th at the Naples Bay Resort. My couple live in NJ but chose Naples for their destination wedding with 40 of the closest friends and family! We held a sweet Jewish wedding on the beach at 18th Avenue with Rabbi Barras. The guests were treated to a trip to the beach by Naples Tours & Transportation complete with champagne! Upon their arrival back at Naples Bay Resort, we held a cocktail reception outdoors around the pool at the Yacht club and then we moved inside for a wonderful dinner and dancing. Everyone had such a great time and they danced the night away to DJ Cesar. The girls at Lyfe of the Party provided beautiful and elegant floral design and Gracie's Cupcakes made a "splash" for dessert. We added beautiful linens from Connie Duglin Linens to add sparkle to the room. My friend and awesome photog, Stephen DeVries flew down from Birmingham to shoot the wedding. I can't wait to see the pictures. Lynn and the staff at the yacht club were excellent to work with and my NJ couple spent their first few days as husband and wife enjoying the sun and surf in Naples!
