Eileen and Pedro’s wedding was very special to me.  I have known them and their family for a while now and I have taken part as their photographer on many of the events leading up to their big day.  Needless to say, on the day of the wedding I was eager to go and begin the celebration with them.  We got started at the Mayfair Hotel in Coconut Grove where Eileen, her mother, grandmother and bridesmaids got ready.  The ladies  had a good time pampering themselves and enjoying their time together with Eileen as they helped her prepare for the wedding.  They did a good job and Eileen looked amazing!!!  I then went to the Coral Gables Congregational Church where I met Pedro and his groomsmen for some photos before the ceremony.  The ceremony was conducted by Reverend Milan, and it was beautiful, personal and very touching.  Eileen and Pedro made sure to include everyone in their family as part of their ceremony.  We then went to the Ronald W. Shane Center in Miami Beach for the reception.  The place was decorated with a winter wonderland theme, they had two beautiful Christmas trees and snowflakes everywhere with an elegant white, blue and silver color scheme.  On this very special day Eileen and Pedro were surrounded by their family and friends whose love for this couple was contagious.  Congratulations!!!  I leave you with the slideshows I’ve created with some of the many photos captured throughout the wedding day.  Enjoy!!!!

“Special Thanks to my son Chris for second shooting at the church, you can check his work out at www.mangosandpeaches.com and to my husband for graciously driving me around from venue to venue making my job a lot easier.”

I recently had the pleasure of photographing Selena and Stephen’s wedding reception at the Deering Bay Country Club in Coral Gables.  After holding a very intimate wedding ceremony, the couple gathered their closest family and friends and enjoyed an elegant celebration.  The guests showered the newlyweds with love and sincere wishes for much happiness.  Please enjoy the slideshow I’ve created with some of my favorites photos.  You can view the entire photo album by visiting the “LolyPix galleries” section located directly to the right of the screen.

Carlos and Sarah’s wedding was so much fun!!!  They celebrated it at a friend’s home in Palmetto Bay and from the moment I drove up to the house on the beautifully landscaped endless driveway I knew it was going to be spectacular.  Biscayne Bay is the breathtaking backdrop to this house and it couldn’t have been a more perfect day.  Sarah and Carlos opted for a casual, yet elegant wedding with a simple ceremony and a very fun party.  Everything about their wedding was as beautiful, special and unique as they are.  I leave you with a slideshow of some of my favorite images from the day

Lenin and Alex’s wedding was so much fun!!!  Everything about their wedding was unique, Alex’s bright Sunflower bouquet, their fun cake top, and Alex’s photos in her wedding gown and soccer shoes just to mention a few of the many little details that made their wedding so “them”.  The event took place at the Signature Gardens with a beautiful ceremony in the courtyard followed by a fun reception.  Family and friends gathered to celebrate Lenin and Alex’s special day and their love for this couple was inspiring.  This was the first time I’ve ever seen the crowd applaud when the bride walked down the aisle.  It was great!!!  I leave you with some of the photos taken throughout the day.

It was my absolute pleasure to photograph Robert and Sasha’s special day.  We got started at the Hotel Sofitel with Sasha getting ready.  Their wedding ceremony was held at the Plymouth Congregetional Church in Coconut Grove and from there it was off to Killian Palms Country Club for the fun reception.  Sasha and Robert are in love and surrounded by a loving family and good friends. All these ingredients put together made their wedding  a very emotional, beautiful, fun, and unforgettable event.  Thank you to Robert, Sasha and their family for making me part of this special occasion.  Shout out to Brenda for introducing me to Sasha and Robert.

I finally get to post Lily’s bridal portraits!!!  We went to the Spanish Monastery on August 31st to shoot the bridal session.  It was a very stormy day and for a while there I thought we were not going to be able to go through with the session.  Lily however kept a possitive attitude and kept saying “It’ll be fine” and fine it was; we lucked out!!!  The Spanish Monastery is a beautiful, peaceful and very inspiring place and its Spanish architecture complemented Lily’s traditional and elegant style very well.  Lily looked amazingly beautiful in her wedding dress and mantilla style veil and her happiness came through in each one of the many, many pictures we took.  I had a hard time choosing some favorites.  Lily and Felix’s wedding will be on Saturday, September 20th and I couldn’t be

more excited about it.  Since I’m Lily’s godmother, I will not be shooting their wedding, but we will have Melissa and Javier from Simply Captivating there to capture every detail.  I’ll be posting some of those images as soon as we have them.  For now, I leave you with a few of Lily’s bridal session images.  I hope you like them as much as I do. 

See you at the wedding!!!

Paulina and Juan Carlos are such a great couple!  They have not only joined their lives in marriage, but they bring their six beautiful children together in the process and now they are one big happy family.  They call themselves the “Brady Bunch.”  The ceremony and reception were held at the Reception Palace Ballrooms.  The party kicked off with an impressive choreographed dance by the bride and groom which was a lot of fun for everyone to watch.  This couple sure knows how to party and their happiness spilled over to all their guests who joined them on the dance floor for a fun filled night.  Best wishes and many blessings to Paulina, Juan Carlos and their children.  Here are a some of the many photos I took at their wedding.

Congratulations!!!

The fun reception was held at the Renaissance Ballrooms in Coral Gables.  The decorations were nicely put together by Ani and Gabi from Gabani Events from gabanievents.com  The bride and goom danced all night and enjoyed their wedding reception to the fullest.  Here are a few pictures from the party.

Congratulations!!!

As promised, here are a few of the photos taken during Anita & Anthony’s wedding ceremony at San Juan Bosco Catholic Church in downtown Miami.  The ceremony was very traditional and elegant with a lot of attention to detail.  Both Anita and Anthony are lucky to have large and very close knit families and their joy, love and support for this couple could not be missed.   I will be posting pictures of the reception shortly. 

and off to the party we go … see you there…

Last weekend I once again had the pleasure of photographing another one of Anita’s events.  I met her at the Airport Hilton where she was getting ready for her much anticipated wedding.  Anita had all the special ladies in her life around her and she made sure that they all participated in helping her get ready making the occasion a very memorable one not only for Anita, but for all those she loves so much.  I was very touched by her sweet, gentle and loving gesture.  At the end of the session, the group gathered around Anita admiring her beauty and making a toast to her happiness.  I left them to their celebration to go to San Juan Bosco Catholic Church to meet her groom, Anthony and photograph him greeting their guests as they arrived at the church.  Please stay tuned for the wedding ceremony and reception photos which I will be posting very soon. 

…See you at the church…
