// Angela & Stephen \\ The Wanderers Club Wellington Wedding

Talk about perfect timing; this wedding—THANK GOD—happened just a couple weeks before the quarantine was put into effect…I am SO GLAD this event was not postponed because it was truly a special one!

I was introduced to Angela a handful of years back by a mutual friend. I remember the first time we hung out, we talked about relationships and the type of man she’d want to marry, one day. At the time, she was fully single and had no clue that her future husband was right there all along…he’s her best friend’s brother!! It took some time and journeying through life individually before the timing was right, but it’s clear their love story was completely meant to be!

I know it’s a looooong way from the February wedding date to post, but there’s a reason it’s taken me so long; photography has always been my dream to do full-time, but I can’t deny that I’m EXTREMELY grateful to not be there yet because of the blessing of having had a job as a teacher, which made me an “essential worker” during the pandemic shutdown. Being a teacher is all-consuming and it’s only now that I’m getting around to sharing. But I have to say, it’s worth the wait because this wedding had some of the most unique moments I’ve encountered, including the groom giving his vows in American Sign Language (Angela had no clue he’d learned to sign them—not a dry eye in the house, folks!) and the best man dressing as the bride during the garter retrieval (also not a dry eye in the house from a different type of tears!!).

Enjoy some of my favorite shots from the day from Stephen & Angela’s wedding at The Wanderers Club in Wellington, Florida!

// Ellen & Joe \\ The Addison Boca Raton Wedding

As a teenager and now an adult, I’ve driven by The Addison restaurant in Boca Raton multiple times a week, wondering what the inside of this Spanish-inspired building looked like on a wedding day, and my questions were answered in such an exciting way when I was asked to shoot Ellen & Joe’s elegant wedding!

I knew Joe & his sister Sarah from our college days at FAU. Sarah and I were even in a wedding of our good friend together a few years back! So when she called me to ask if I was available in a month’s time to shoot her brother’s wedding, I jumped at the chance to be part of such a special day for their family.

It was a unique experience as Ellen doesn’t speak much English, but I’m no stranger to being in a room full of Brazilians rapidly conversing in Portuguese! And even though I only know a few important words like “brigadeiro” (the BEST dessert, ever!), there were plenty of English-speakers to help me communicate with the glamorous bride, including the lovely coordinator’s assistant at The Addison (they really know how to run a wedding day!).

From the simple yet elegant (there’s that word again…can’t help it! It just was SO elegant!) details, to the outrageously fun bridal party that made me wish I was one of them, and the totally GORGEOUS lighting, this day was definitely one for the books!
