Marisa & Brian’s Four Seasons Palm Beach Wedding

March 29, 2012


Marisa and Brian’s relationship initially started as a long distance one, as Brian was actually living in Chicago at the time they met. He then moved to Miami about a year and a half later to attend law school - which obviously made dating a lot easier! He proposed to Marisa on her 26th birthday in February, 2011 and the rest is history! They then began to plan their magnificent Four Seasons Palm Beach Wedding!







The ceremony was held poolside facing the beach and was led by Rabbi Dan Levin. A cocktail hour and reception followed. Benny from Daniel Events created all of the fabulous décor for the evening using Marisa’s favorite color of purple, artfully transforming the event into a fairytale theme. Crystal Prante from the Four Seasons Palm Beach managed all of the festivities for the wedding for the hotel. Marisa was decked out in an elegant Sottero and Midgley gown complemented by Nina shoes.




As a South Florida wedding photographer, I love photographing weddings at all of the various venues in the Palm Beach area. The Four Seasons Palm Beach is truly one of the most elegant and modern locations around. Its beach locale, coupled with its stunning interior areas make it a dreamy place to photograph a wedding. I was fortunate enough to have plenty of time to take Marisa and Brian around the hotel grounds to capture some amazing and romantic shots.



Thanks so much to both Marisa and Brian for their enthusiasm and especially for having me be a part of their incredible Four Seasons Palm Beach wedding!

Lauren and Brett’s Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach Wedding

February 3, 2012


Lauren and Brett’s recent wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach was an absolute pleasure to photograph. The couple chose this venue, as they both love the beach! Brett love to surf and swim and Lauren enjoys soaking up the sun. The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach’s location was perfect – right on a pristine stretch of beach – not to mention its super classy interior and magnificent grounds.



This was a destination wedding for most guests – even the ones from Florida – so the couple wanted a venue that was accommodating and hassle free. They wanted their guests to be relaxed and feel like they were on vacation. The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach did not disappoint. In addition, Lauren and Brett hosted all of their wedding festivities there to make it really easy for everyone to attend. To assist, the couple hired Jamie Lipman of The Absolute Event who did a terrific job of managing everything on the wedding day.



Lauren was radiant in a Romona Keveza gown and Jimmy Choo shoes.













Benny of Daniel Events created the magnificent décor for Lauren and Brett’s wedding. They were looking for décor that was classy, traditional yet modernized with current trends such as LED lighting, crystals, white dance floor and couch seating. Benny hit home by creating their vision of a “WOW” factor, creating a space that was magical and warm and ultra classy. This was a traditional Jewish wedding, and Benny’s beautiful chuppah really set the stage!








Her amazing after party dress was by Theia.




For Lauren and Brett, who met 4 years ago and as she says “It was love at first sight!”, this was a dream wedding come true. Every aspect was perfect and you can see their happiness beaming through in these photos. My team and I were very honored to be part of this incredible event and hope that you all get a great feel for Lauren and Brett’s Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach wedding by browsing through these photos. I photograph many beautiful weddings at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach, many of them traditional Jewish weddings such as Lauren and Brett’s. We can’t post them all, but we hope that you get a good sense of our coverage and the magnificence of the venue from this glimpse of Lauren and Brett’s amazing Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach wedding.

Aileen and Brian’s destination wedding at Vizcaya

January 30, 2012


Aileen and Brian live in Wisconsin, so what better location to have their winter destination wedding but at the incomparable Vizcaya Museum and Gardens in Miami. As they are from out of state, the couple sought the assistance and expertise of Joni Scalzo of Your Special Day by Joni to help them coordinate and manage all aspects of their special day.


A Vizcaya wedding is truly magical. There is simply no other place like it anywhere. Its distinctly European feel is quite unique - this plus its amazing gardens is what draws couples to plan a Vizcaya wedding. The venue alone is so beautiful that there are literally endless places to photograph a bride and groom. We had a great time checking out some more popular spots as well as exploring some more unusual locations throughout Vizcaya. There is definitely no shortage of shooting locations at a Vizcaya wedding!


Here are just a few samples of the photos we took that day. I was thrilled to be a part of Aileen and Brian’s incredible Vizcaya wedding and would like to thank them as well as Joni for making it all possible.

Kelly & Rob’s South Florida Wedding at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach & St. Ann’s Catholic Church.

November 8, 2011


Now both South Floridians, both Kelly and Rob are from elsewhere in the country. Kelly is from Long Island, New York while Rob is from Maryland. They met over 3 years ago while both working as analysts in Financial Regulation in Maryland. The two moved to Boca Raton, Florida last year – they love the beach, so the move made a lot of sense! They really enjoy the beach lifestyle, spending weekends there with Kelly soaking up the rays and Rob standup paddle boarding or surfing.



They became engaged in October of last year while staying at the W Fort Lauderdale and then not too long after, starting planning their wedding. For their South Florida wedding, they wanted a reception that overlooked the ocean, so there was no better choice than the spectacular Ocean Ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach. Kelly and Rob actually found their ceremony site, St. Ann’s Church though us – as they had taken notice of many photos of the church on our website. St. Ann’s reminded Kelly of churches in New York where she grew up and after seeing the photos on our blog, was convinced that it would be the perfect site for she and Rob to exchange their vows.




Kelly was radiant in her Liancarlo gown (purchased at Boca Raton Bridal) and Badgley Mischka shoes, while her bridesmaids wore J Crew dresses to compliment her. Rob and the groomsmen wore Calvin Klein tuxedos from Men’s Wearhouse.






Most of the guests attending their Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach wedding were from out of town – mostly New York, Maryland, Pennsylvania and the Orlando area where Kelly’s parents now reside. They were treated to an incredible dinner of beef and lobster – prepared in the most sumptuous manner by the talented chefs at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach. Passed desserts such as chocolate ice cream cones with macadamia nuts, a smores brochette, raspberry cheesecake lollipops and vanilla milkshakes put a super sweet ending to a fabulous meal. Not to mention, the bride and groom cut a custom wedding cake designed and prepared by the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach.












Many thanks to Kelly and Rob for their enthusiasm - as you can see, we got some amazing photos on their special day! I always enjoy weddings at the Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach, and Kelly and Rob’s was definitely one to remember!
