Wedding Day!

HPWedding

What a great day! Beautiful summer weather, bright blue sky and just enough puffy white clouds to make it interesting. Paul & Mariclare designed and coordinated their own wedding while running their Sebastian business, Mama Mia’s. Of course Paul had to do all the food as well. A lot of work for sure and it paid off. Their riverside home was transformed into a beautiful Florida haven.Mariclare took off early with her wedding party and we all made are way to the river for a nice boat ride to the ceremony on Sebastian’s own The Mangrove Mamma! Bride delivery, island style. Paul patiently waited dockside for his new bride along with over 150 guests.Everything went off without a hitch. Smiles …

HPEngagement, Wedding

The blog takes off!Here are a few snapshots of my most recent engagement session with Mariclare and Paul. They are due to be wed on Sunday July 27th, 2008 at their cozy home near Sebastian, Florida.One of the best things about shooting weddings is getting the chance to meet some great people. As a local business couple these two run an exceptional restaurant in the middle of town. Their story of how they met and where they are going are made of what just about everyone is looking for. A real romance.I love the engagement shoot. This initial chance to get to “know” the people you will be covering during one of the biggest days of their lives is essential …

HPFamily Portraits

A big thank you to the Trecosta Family for all their generosity and hospitality. The BIG family reunion was a blast. It rained and was overcast much of the time but that didn’t stop anyone from jumping into a warming summer lake or taking a ride behind the boat.It’s not often one finds a family that gets along much less has this much fun together in one house. OK, a BIG house but one none the less.Do hope you enjoy these few snapshots from this trip and of the family. The weather made for some colorless photography, so I just went with the theme and came up with some interesting effects. What do you think??Leave a comment below.
