Another great wedding getting close really fast... Nelly and Ricardo are tying the knot in September, and they have chosen an incredible location for their photo session: the Amelia Earhart Park in Hialeah, a truly beautiful place that they visit quite often. It was a great afternoon spent there, and the sun decided to make random, brief appearances at the end of the day, allowing for a lot of play with shadows and light. I'm looking forward now to celebrate the big day with them!

Naughty School Girl Express

When Tamara told me about her idea for celebrating her 40th birthday, I knew right away I had to be there to witness the amazing and unique party she had planned. It had it all: awesome costumes, props galore, the real school bus, fake mullets and, most importantly, a group of very special friends to party with her, John, Ryan and Bridget. Downtown Fort Lauderdale was taken by surprise this past weekend, when the Naughty School Girl Express hit a bunch of clubs, much to the delight of the customers. It was an incredible and absolutely memorable night, Tamara, thanks once again for having me there. Here are some of the most "behaved" images, and I can't wait for the 50th's celebration now...

Danielle and Chris chose one of their favorites places to have their photo session this past weekend: Beach Place, in Fort Lauderdale. Plenty of bars, nice stores and a beautiful area to hang out by themselves or with their friends. They must really enjoy that place, because from the get-go they were natural, happy and totally in harmony with each other. Their wedding is by the end of October, and I know it's going to be a great one... Thanks for the fun!

Justin (Danielle's nephew):

These are by far the sexiest pictures I've ever seen! They're amazing and I love the first picture of them dancing.

Mercy (Danielle's Mom):

I knew the pictures would turn out beautifully, but you hit it out of the ballpark! I can't wait for the wedding day!

Maria - Christopher's Mom:

I imagined with Dani and Chris as your subjects you could not go wrong! It is pretty obvious that they are a "great looking couple" but your talent and creativity is best shown in the amazing way you were able to capture the essence of the love they feel for each other, and all the fun they have when they are together. This ... coupled with your choice of great background scenes, and the way you made it all look so natural and easy, gives you the artistic edge! Anyone looking at these pictures would definitely walk away with the feeling that Dani and Chris were out for a day of fun with absolutely no knowledge that they were being photographed. This is absolutely key and most significant! The job of a talented photographer is to make those looking at the photograph think that he is invisible! You accomplished just that ... Congratulations! We can hardly wait to see what comes next!

Ricardo...Suas fotos de Danielle e Chris são absolutamente lindas. Você fez tudo certo, estou convencido de que você não pode tirar uma foto ruim, seria impossível. Danielle e Chris, bem como o resto da família e todos os nossos amigos, adoramos seus retratos. “

Ricardo Serpa:

I thank you all very much for such generous and kind words. Danielle and Chris are the ones to be congratulated, though, for they did an amazing job in being so spontaneous and natural during the whole session. They definitely made my day... Maggie, seu português é perfeito, e obrigado pelo carinho nas palavras. Nos vemos no casamento!

Another fantastic couple getting married in just a few weeks more, Aly and Jermaine spent a fun end of the day with me at Las Olas, where they wanted to have their photo session done. It was truly a pleasure to get to know them better and get a good idea of how fun their wedding is going to be come August. Well done, Aly and Jermaine, you did an amazing job!

Cristina and Sean knew exactly what they wanted for their photo session: a little of an urban setting, followed by some fun beach photos by the end of the day. So we started our day at Las Olas, in Fort Lauderdale, and from there we went straight to the beach in Hollywood, on a beautiful overcast late afternoon. We had a ton of fun, and they gave me a good idea of how great their wedding is going to be, come next February. Looking forward to it!

This fantastic couple is getting married at the end of the month, and they couldn't wait to have their photo session at the beach - and neither could I! It was a beautiful end of the day and we had the beach pretty much to ourselves, so they could stay relaxed and have fun while the session was going on. I loved working you both, and I'm getting ready for the big day now. It will soon be here...
