The reception.

Or was it a party?

Yes this is exactly what Paula's and Jonathan's reception was. A big pool of close friends and family celebrating and having a blast. It felt more like one big happy party. The music was fantastic and there were times where I wanted to put my camera down and start dancing, but I equally enjoyed capturing all the fun moments that this wedding offered.

The reception was held at Tanner Hall, a very nice venue with a lake and Gazebo. It is very spacey and I think you can fit up to 250 guests. They even let you bring your own prefered caterer. I'd definilty recommend this venue. So if anyone would like their wedding reception here, please call me and I'd be more than happy to photograph it :)

All linens, decor, and flowers were provided by Lolimar. She did an amazing job with everything!!












The bride and groom decided to have dinner first, then do their first dance. Here I am with my fisheye lens. I love this lens, especially when used to take cool dancing shots.





Such a sweet moment













When first looking at this picture, I thought about taking the glare out from my off camera flash, but then I realized looking at it closely that it is shaped like a heart, so I decided to keep it in the photo :)

The best man, Andre, delivered an excellent performance. He sang and played two songs for the newly wedds. He did a fabulous job!






and they also had a violinist who did an amazing job. I love the violin.






Now for some good cake.


and alot of dancing!


























The MC did an incredible job keeping the party bumpin. If any brides out there need a bilingual MC, please let me know and I'll send you his info asap! just look at how much fun it was!!....

So while I was with Paula and her girls, my second shooter, George Cook, was with the guys capturing a few pre-ceremony photos. I always think it's nice to have two perspectives because it just makes the story complete. I'm sure both the bride and groom were wondering what each other were doing at the same time, so what better way to capture it by having another photographer shooting the guys! When they look through their album, they will really enjoy the full story. Here are a few frames of the guys captured by George, he did a fabulous job!




















I always love capturing the bridesmaids bouquets during the ceremony. They look so pretty all lined up :)





Work it girls!











The sun was setting beautifuly, such yummy soft light!















SUPER FUN reception photos coming soon, Part 3!!

I have so many great things to say about this wedding. From the dancing to the food and to the emotional vows, it was truely a beautiful and unforgetable day. The day started at The Florida Mall where the beautiful bride had her makeup done at MAC. I arrived just in time to capture the finishing touches and then we headed to the hair salon to get her all glammed up! Finally, we headed to a friends house to get all ready. Here are a few of my favorite pre-ceremony photos, I'll be breaking the wedding photos in different parts, lots of favorites! :)







This photo just makes everything feel so calm :)
