Kimberly & Jason - July 25th - Hilton Head, SC

Administrator — Wed, 30 Jul 2008 21:47:36 +0000

This is such a sweet love story. Kim and Jason met about 7 months ago,they are both activate duty in our military. Thank you guys! Jason has been in Iraq for the last few months, so need less to say they were so into each other the day of the wedding. I do need to mention the little blond baby in some of the pictures is Jason’s niece, she was so cute, all day.

This is Jason

Here’s Kim

This is Kim’s brother who walked her down the isle.

The light was nice, mmm.

Here is Paul hand holding at 1.4, probably 1/80 of a second and 6400 iso, for all of our photographer friends!

Anne & Tom - July 12th - Carillon Beach Fl

This is Anne and Tom, a lovely couple who had a very nice wedding at Carillon Beach.

There were so many beautiful children at this wedding!

Anne’s was very pretty. She was so relaxed before the wedding I was able to shoot a few bridals of her.

THIS is a fabulous capture! These are the two flower girls sitting at the feet of Anne and Tom during the ceremony. I couldn’t believe it when I saw that Paul grabbed this. There is nothing like documenting real life, as it happens!

Here is a shot of Anne dancing with her father and Tom dancing with his mother.

Anne’s father again, he was so funny! I don’t know if he is Italian or not, probably not, but when I see this image I hear in my head “leave the gun, take the canoli”

Do you see how Tom is looking at Anne, he loves her so much.

Robin & Gary - July 5th - Tulum, Quintana Roo

Robin and Gary with about 40 of their friends and family headed to Mexico for a relaxing weekend filled with sun and great food! Many family and guests came from NJ, NY and as far as Czech Republic. Here are a few images to get you into the “Tulum zone”

These guys were everywhere.

These next two shots are of the Mayan Ruins

The day before the wedding, everyone had a blast on a catamaran where we went snorkeling. Some of the guests saw a sea turtle

Here are Robin and Gary arriving to their rehearsal dinner

This is Ollie, Gary’s nephew from Czech Republic. He was so proper and so entertaining

Now we start “the day”

I have to point out that Robin made her own dress! Isn’t she beautiful? I couldn’t believe it when she told me. Oh and it merits mentioning that Gary had his coat custom made, they both looked like a million dollars.

This was fun…. Mayan Coffee!

This next shot is of their first dance. The dance floor was especially important. Gary and Robin met at a club where there was a disco dance floor. They arranged to have the same dance floor at their wedding.

Dave & Lisa - June 21st - Watercolor, FL

Meet Dave and his three beautiful daughters, and Lisa his amazing bride! They were married at Watercolor Inn on the beach and enjoyed an intimate dinner in the Wine Room at Fish out of Water. Very, very nice.

Allison & Bay - June 14th - Carillon Beach

Administrator — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 21:18:32 +0000

I think Allison and Bay had a perfect day at Carillon. At first there were huge clouds with thunder rolling and a heavy drizzle right up to the ceremony start time. All the guests were waiting with their umbrellas for Allison to arrive. Victoria with Carillon Weddings made the call to proceed and it couldn’t have been more perfect. The rain had all but stopped, the steel drums played the breeze was blowing and everyone put away their umbrellas as Allison walked down the isle. I felt like I was on a tropical island somewhere in the Caribbean!

Kim & Johnathan - June 7th - Carillon Beach

Administrator — Fri, 13 Jun 2008 16:45:34 +0000

First I want to say that Kim and Johnathan had a wonderful day, cool for June, for sure! We met with Kim and Johnathan over a year ago at Carillon sitting in the courtyard talking about how they imagined their wedding, at Carillon Beach. I can’t believe that their wedding has come and gone! I hope what we provided them will help them remember the day as fondly, as they did that very day. The little guy in the second shot is the ring bearer, who was so proud of his Swiss Army knife that Johnathan gave him as a gift. The next few shots are actually shots that I see every time I cull through images but thought I would share the coolness with you too! I am with the bride and her family while she is getting ready and Paul is always with the groom while he is getting ready. It is truly invaluable to have two shooters who can capture the real life that goes on during your day!

Notice how Kim is helping her mom with her wedding garb and Johnathan is helping his dad with his details. Then Kim’s mom is buttoning her dress while Johnathan’s dad is helping him with his cuff lengths! The amazing thing to me is this is happening at the same time! Promise, the file’s date and times are the same!

Kim had a beautiful gold tone throughout her reception. I loved this great chanderlere!

This was during the first dance, Kim was so excited!

Maris & Reed - June 6th - Carillon Beach

Administrator — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 21:19:41 +0000

What a heartfelt day! So many things I could say about this wedding, wow where to start. First 200+ guests and Victoria at Carillon Weddings did a fabulous job keeping everything running smoothly! The BIGGEST wedding party ever! 16 groomsmen and 6 bridesmaids. Oh and Maris’ exquisite bouquet had a few flowers, if you look closely, created out of fish scales! FABULOUS! Not to mention the connection that was obvious between these two love birds!

Molly & Lake - May 31st - Rosemary Beach, FL

Administrator — Mon, 09 Jun 2008 16:24:38 +0000

This was a hard wedding to choose just a few of my favorites from! Molly and Lake are definitely people who like to have a great time, they love their family and friends and made sure that everyone had a great time too. Lake and his groomsmen walked several blocks to have a toast with his friend who was the bartender. Molly was so cute with her Betty Boop handbag that was given to her as a gift, she carried it on her way to the ceremony.

Stephanie & Chris - May 28th - Blue Mt. Beach, FL

Administrator — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 17:41:03 +0000

I love small intimate weddings. Stephanie and Chris planned a beach ceremony with a reception at a private beach house with just their closest family and friends.

Kelly & Ryan - May 25th - Carillon Beach, FL

Administrator — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 20:37:07 +0000

This wedding was full of emotion, tears of joy flowed all day! Kelly and Ryan are so blessed with family and friends, and KIDS, wow, were there some fun kids there that day! Check out those huge blue eyes on Kelly’s niece! Thank you again guys for giving us the opportunity to document your day.
