JENNA + DAVID | NEW YEAR’S EVE FLORIDA WEDDING

Being a wedding photographer is bitter-sweet. The down side is you don’t typically get to enjoy celebrations of your own: Weekends, birthdays, and even holidays are often booked up by weddings. But you know what? On the other hand I get to be there for people’s BEST days, and that’s such an incredible thing to share. Strangers treat you like a friend of the family and you’re there while they dance, sing, hug & love on each other. The energy is electric, the love palpable and sometimes I still can’t believe I get to do this for a living. So what did I do New Year’s Eve 2019? Well I partied wedding-style of course! I flew back to the first state that welcomed me and let me call it home: sunny & warm South Florida, to document Jenna & David’s lavish wedding. (I know what you’re thinking, I photographed a young Catherine Zeta-Jones ?) There were more tears and smiles than I could count, along with electric violin players, Brazilian dancers, and a… giant-disco-robot-man? Something like that. Whatever he was, he was awesome. The theme was, well, New Year’s Eve and balloons dropped at midnight. I don’t think I could do it justice so you take a look and tell me what you think 😉

That ending though! This is so epic! Everything is this wedding is perfect. You beautifully captured their love and relaxed feel in such an incredible space. Amazing.

The minute I saw that pink building I thought “I bet this is Florida” and I was right! Fellow Florida photographer here, and I have to say you captured the tropical beauty absolutely perfectly! I love the touch of elegance the gloves add to the bride’s look. How unique!

Haha, right! Florida is so recognizable. I no longer live there (I’m in Chicago now) but it was good to get a little warmth in the middle of the winter 🙂

These are beyond gorgeous- my jaw is literally on the floor with how perfect everything was from the couple to the venue and the images you got of it all! Love the pink backdrop for the first look, and the black bridesmaids dresses, and the night ceremony… sigh*. I could go on. Loved looking through these- awesome job!!

Oh my gosh, you are too sweet! Thank you so much!!! <3

I love the energy in this wedding! It feels SO ALIVE 🙂

You did an amazing job capturing this couple’s entire wedding story! Well done! And that party looked like it was nothing short of epic!

Thank you so much! And yes, so much fun!

Wow! The colors! The dress! The gloves! Everything about this is perfection. Nothing short of amazing happening here!

Wow this wedding was an epic, luxury affair! Her dress was just gorgeous and I loved the dancers at the end!

So much fun!! Whatever that giant robot man was, so cool! 😀

This may be one of the most epic wedding receptions I have ever seen! What a way to end such a beautiful day!

I know, right?!! The energy was electric!! Such a fun party!!
