With the summer heat upon us, I am counting the minutes until the cool air arrives. As an incentive to Jack Frost, I am excited to announce the Snowfall of Savings promotion. For anyone getting married between January 1st and March 31st of next year, you can save money off of the cost of your wedding photography! The only catch is that you need to book your wedding before the end of this long hot summer.

As long as you book, at a minimum, the standard wedding package before September 1st, 2010, you are eligible for this promotion.

This promotion will take 5% off of your total package price. Please note: The discount applies to packages only. Prints purchased after the event will be at the normal rate.

So, please contact us soon if you want to book your cool winter wedding in Florida!!

I first met LaTasha and Joshua last year at the Starbucks in Celebration, Florida. He was living in Los Angeles. She was living in Miami. And, they were getting married in Orlando. Sounds like the cities of the NBA Playoffs!

I was very excited to be photographing their wedding!

The wedding was held in late June at the Radisson Hotel in Celebration, Florida. It was an absolutely beautiful day, and everyone had a great time. There were so many special touches and the decorations and flowers were fabulous.

During the reception, Josh made a speech and gave Tash a very special gift. That was just one of the many things that stood out to me. It’s so fantastic when you see a couple who love and care for one another so much.

This past February, I was in Cleveland, Ohio for a wedding. While there, it was evident that the city was going through some rough times (Population today is half of what it was in 1950). However, the city stands strong behind their basketball team. Championships don’t come very often to Cleveland, but that doesn’t keep the fans from supporting their teams.

The past couple days has been tough on a city whose star, Lebron James, announced that he was leaving for Miami. Which made me think back to this quick picture that I took from the Quicken Loans Arena of a rare beautiful winter sky in northeast Ohio.

I saw this 10-story mural being torn down on the news today.

We shot the wedding of an extremely sweet couple this past weekend – LaTasha and Josh. And, although we’re just starting to go through the pictures, I had to share a little sneak preview with everyone.

It was a gorgeous day in Celebration, and the Florida sunshine kept any rain clouds away. We can’t wait to share more images from this wedding with everyone! Please check back for more!!

Musical group, Faithful Crossings, contacted me for some updated publicity photos, so we ventured to the elegant Grand Bohemian Hotel in downtown Orlando for a photo session.

Earlier this month, I had the pleasure of being the photographer at Angela and Kevin’s wedding in Toledo, Ohio. The ceremony was held at the Warren AME church in downtown Toledo with a fun, lively reception at the Charles E. Gesu’s Sullivan Center to follow. In between, we took advantage of the beautiful spring day in Ohio for some formal (and fun) photos at the Toledo Botanical Gardens with the newlyweds and their wedding party.

We worked alongside Fordham Footage – Northwest Ohio’s premiere cinematographer – as we captured images of the day. Here are some of our favorites:

Several weeks ago, I had the opportunity to photograph Gertie and Federico’s wedding. They were married on an absolutely gorgeous spring day in Orlando.

Family and friends gathered for a beautiful ceremony at the Cathederal of the Incarnation in the College Park section of Orlando.

After the ceremony, I accompanied the bride and groom to Lake Eola for formal pictures. We then joined the guests at the Embassy Suites on International Drive for a fantastic reception with wonderful food and music.

Special Announcement

Next Wednesday I have a special announcement to make. I’m very excited to share this with all of you. So come back on May 5th to see the news.

Last week, I had the chance to shoot some engagement photos at Dr. Phillips Community Park in Orlando. This great location is also a dog park. It was suggested by Maria and Blake, who wanted to bring along their Chocolate Lab, Sir, for some of the photos.

I had a fabulous time with this gorgeous couple, who will be getting married later this year, and hope that you enjoy these pictures.
