Wedding of Andrea & Dave in Brandon Florida

There are so many wonderful things to say about Andrea & Dave! There love for each other shined through out the day. I loved that as a couple they had their wedding with their style & personality. The entire day bursted with their personality!

The wedding begun with an intimate meeting of just the 2 of them.

We could not have asked for a more beautiful day!
God was surely smiling down from the heavens!

We even had time to play a friendly game of pool!

Can you see that Andrea is barefoot!! Yep, she stayed that way all day and all night!

It was a great way to get everyone excited!

It was a hysterical moment!

A little YMCA action to get the party started!

Such the perfect couple!!

Raasveldlt Family Portraits in Vero Beach

I have had the pleasure of photographing the Raasveldt family for 4 years now! Every year the kids get more and more fun to photograph! At the end of the session I was saying my goodbyes, and Madelief said to me that she had the "bestest time ever"! This is coming from the same little girl who wanted nothing to do with me at the beginning of the session!

I just LOVE this photo! I could not ask for a more perfect moment!

Lissete & Ronnie's Wedding at the Vero Beach Hotel & Spa

When I first met Lissete a couple of months ago I knew that her wedding was going to be a big celebration and party! From the time that I arrived to the hotel till the last shot of the night everyone was having a good time!

Lissete bought her gown from a fundraiser called Brides Against Breast Cancer.
It was the first gown she tried on!

The groom's daughter, along with the rest of the family, teared up as Lissete walked down the isle.

Unfortunately the car broke down and wouldn't start!
Ronnie & Lissete were good sports about it!

Here is what the bride had to say when she viewed her sneek peek...

"OMG !!! my eyes were in tears !!! thanks soooo much ... they look amazing! "
