Elegant, Classic and Traditional

Alexis and Jeffrey celebrated their union at the Doubletree Biscayne Bay, which was arranged by their wonderful wedding consultant, Adriana Rader. Everything was performed at the hotel, from preparations to the last dance. Alexis’ make-up was beautifully done by Deb Hoefl of Beauty by Creative at Heart.

This was a traditional Jewish ceremony complete with a Chuppah, the traditions of the bride circling the groom 7 times, the sharing of the wine, the breaking of the glass and all the appropriate and beautiful prayers. Prior to the public ceremony, there was a signing of the Ketubah ceremony, which in the Jewish faith is when bride and groom are officially married before God.

Alex wanted to have 2 first looks, one with her father and one with Jeffrey. The dress was provided by Wonderland Bridal, and you can see how Jeffrey and her father were taken aback by how lovely Alexis looked in it.

Once the proceedings started, the music was provided by Private Property Band, who are one of the premier wedding bands in South Florida. They covered all the bases - the ceremony music, the Horah, and for the dance portion had all best songs with styles including salsa, R&B, rock and pop, from current to the classics. You can see it was a great party!

Wait until you see the cake! It was classic and gorgeous - thanks to Todo Dulce. All the decorations were done up superbly by International Party Designers - what a room for a party! So great to have Mercy Suarez on hand for the day of coordination. The flowers are always the final touch to a wedding ceremony, and this was no exception.

Last but not least, it was such an honor to be able to work side-by-side all day long with the amazingly creative Leo Photographer. He is the master of lighting and composition! He was such a pleasure to work with.

I hope you enjoy the love, happiness and fun from this wonderful wedding day!

Some of my recent favorites

ENGAGEMENT LOVE STORY

In 2020, I experimented with a new wedding celebration film form, the Engagement / Love Story. I actually had a give-away so that I could experiment with this form. This also to opportunity to get more experience directing couples during the romantics section of a photo shoot.

This is Torrie and Chase's Engagement Love Story. They were engaged on March 29, 2019, and like a lot of people, have had to adjust their wedding plans due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The opted for a small wedding at Bowditch Point Park on Fort Myers Beach. That is where we filmed this Engagement Film. Talk about cinematic! I flew a little drone too, which added some cools shots. We actually covered a lot of ground - as we also did an interview segment - where Torie and Chase were able to tell their love story. They were very cute and genuine - so in love.

WEDDING LOVE NOTE

The locations were so beautiful for this wedding celebration - so cinematic. St. Ann’s Catholic Church in West Palm Beach had wonderful light, and the pagontry was epic. The reception was in a location called the Hippie House. The building, grounds, table settings, cocktail ambience, dance vibe with the DJ Lexy, and a Cuban trio band that I recently saw perform at a popular music spot on Calle Ocho! WOW!!

WEDDING LOVE STORY

A beautiful couple married at the picturesque Florida Keys landmark - What more could you ask for?

WEDDING LOVE STORY

This is from pre-pandemic times, but I realized for some reason I wasn’t featuring it in my Highlight Films section. So, I am breaking it out now. This film has so much heart. As much as I am about the visuals (and I am all about the visuals), there is nothing that replaces the power of the spoken word. This film has such heartfelt feeling and love in the spoken word. Of course, having a happy and stylish couple and family and friends, celebrating their marriage in a boutique Miami Beach hotel with classic styling and charm, and the visuals ain’t too shabby either!

WEDDING DRONE / AERIAL FOOTAGE

This is one is just pure Drone Eye Candy! It is somewhat out of the vault, as it was shot a while ago. I think it shows - when you have the venue - sometimes the only option to truly do it justice is with aerial shots.

Biltmore Hotel - take it away!!!!
