Steve and Ellannee’s Wedding

Steve and Ellannee hosted their wedding at the beautiful Newport Beachside Resort in Sunny Isles, FL.  Since they were from out of town, we didn’t get to do an Engagement Session beforehand, so our first time meeting was on their wedding day!  We’d spoken several times on the phone and exchanged emails and texts, and this couple was so down to earth and welcoming, that we were comfortable with each other right away.  They also chose to do a first look, which is always a beautiful moment to capture, and leaves plenty of time for portraits both before and after the ceremony.  They were even up for some light painting at the end!  I was also on a high, having shot a wedding with my mentor the day before, so I really brought my A-game.  The bride and groom had some really nice hand-made and detailed decorative touches that added to their beachy theme.  They also had a polaroid set-up for guests to personalize their guest book entries.  Who doesn’t love to “shake it like a polaroid picture”?!  It was a great day, I was glad to be a part of it, and I just love the pastel pink accents – it’s perfect for this destination wedding! 

Bodytek Davie Pre-Re-Opening Labor Day Class

Bodytek Fitness in Davie, where I am a proud client, expanded their Davie studio to double its’ size.  These photos are from the first class, and the reveal where clients walked into the studio for the first time.  Class at Bodytek is always high-energy, while maintaining a family feel.  Amy led an action-packed class, which gave me lots of photo opportunities to capture these ‘Tekers’ (as they are affectionately known) at their best, as they rotated through stations that included tire jumps, side hurdle jumps, rope waves, and kettle bell swings, just to name a few.  And with the doors closed, I was able to create some interesting light.  Congrats on the expansion, and I can’t wait to also share the photographs from the grand re-opening the following weekend!
