OMG!!! You have to see this!!!!

I just saw it on a photographer’s blog in Cali and I almost peed in my pants. LOL.
This video is a HYSTERICALLY funny way of making fun of all of us ladies who have ever joined a message board.
I got married 4 years ago and I used to be an active member of a message board too. After the wedding, I felt like: and now what? I wanted to start planning something else! LOL! I was happy there were a lot of us on the same boat, so we went thru it together. My cyber friends are friends for life, but please don’t ask me to explain who they are to my non-cyber friends. Can you relate?
Anyway I thought it was AWESOME!!!!

Amanda and Greg’s Wedding!!!!

I am going to be as brief as I can about their AMAZING wedding!!!
I met Amanda for the first time when we met for her Boudoir photos. We had a great time and I couldn’t wait until her day was finally here. Amanda felt the nerves of anticipation on her wedding day and tears just made their course in multiple occasions; especially as her dad saw her for the first time and while exchanging vows.
Everything, starting from the location and to all the little details, was first class, which of course it did not surprise me. The Ritz Carlton had at least four people to Amanda’s disposal at all times!
Amanda, thru the tears, laughs and all the other emotions in between, your wedding will always hold a very important place in my heart. Thank you for been such an incredible bride!!!
Lots of love for both and I hope to see you soon!


Ceremony/Reception: The Ritz Carlton – Palm Beach
Wedding Coordinator: Danielle Sirlouis
Make-up Artist: Gloria Pelo
Music and Lighting: Ubi Productions

GOOOO GATORS!!!!! Miami Wedding Photography

Favio and I are proud UF alumni and I don’t want to jinx it, but we are so close to a National Title!!!!!

Ok, so I have been wanting to blog about this since Alyse & Mike’s Wedding!
So, there we were having a great time shooting their wedding, btw the music selection was awesome!!! When all the sudden it was time for the garter, and what do we hear? You guessed it: the Seminole Fight Song!!! Now I must admit, it’s a great song, ok catchy at best (Ahhh, No, I didn’t just say that!!!!) Let me just cover myself, NOT BETTER THAN THE GATOR FIGHT SONG!!!! Lol.

Anyway, Favio and I looked at each other and were just mouthing GO GATORS!!!
AHHHH!!! To a die hard Gator this is the worst case scenario for us!!! So many Seminoles chanting and not being able to scream GO GATORS!! Lol.
I will tell you what I LOVED, was the intensity and pride I saw as they all chanted!!!

The real test came last Saturday, UF vs. FSU yearly war, where we were SCREAMING our hearts out GOOOO GATORS!!!! UF came on top against FSU, I won’t gloat on the score. Lol.

I told Alyse I was going to be blogging a photo today, but she may not like what I was going to be saying about it. Lol. She guessed what it was going to be about! It’s all in good fun of course and I do thank her for hiring Gators to cover their wedding!!! ;)

On a side note: I was listening to the Gator Fight Song while selecting their photos from the garter section of their wedding. Lol.

GO GATOR NATION!!!!!
