This weekend we photographed a truly unique wedding.  Bruce and Kyle called us when they decided to elope.  To keep it exciting they hired a balloon from Windswept Balloons and flew up on a Sunday morning with perfect winds.

The morning started early but they were flying as the sun broke through the clouds.  Weight requirements prevented us from flying with them but the ceremony was carried out in the balloon as we followed in a chase car.

Upon landing we popped open a bottle of Champaign and celebrated with chocolate covered strawberries.

We are excited to announce a partnership with Patricia South’s Bridal as their primary photographers.

Patricia South has built her boutique by personally helping brides and grooms for 28 years. She carries more than 35 designers including her own easily customized gowns. Their 6 full time seamstresses complete alterations quickly and skillfully on the premises. Though they are located in Fort Lauderdale Patricia has been serving multiple generations of brides and grooms that travel from Miami to West Palm Beach.

David Degner assisted Jonathan Scott with a wedding at the Woodfield Country Club of Boca Raton. Jonathan is a master at moving through the family portraits and efficiently making all the traditional photographs from the ceremony and celebrations.

The Woodfield Country Club was an ideal venue for an outdoor wedding and ballroom celebration. The sprawling lawn looks out on a verdant golf course but the ceremony was never interrupted by other visitors.

Her name has been circulating in certain circles. Her retail locations are around the globe. Now Ivonne De La Vega has a new showroom on Las Olas in Fort Lauderdale.

This Cuban-American, thirty-something designer has dressed them all…debutantes, mothers-of-the-brides/grooms, socialites, political figures, and celebrities. Most recently, she was commissioned by the Flagler-Matthews family to design the wedding gown for Henry Flagler’s great granddaughter Kelly Matthews.

As she says, her philosophy “is not to re-invent the wheel, only to give it a younger, newer spin.

If you’re thinking of having live music at your wedding banquet we highly recommend local jazz, and classical (opera) singer Adriana Samargia.  Even if you don’t have her at your wedding it is worth picking up one of her CD’s to have in the car on a long trip.
