My day started off at Kathy’s parents home, where the beautiful bride was getting dressed for her wedding. I arrived a little early to get myself situated and started my first set of photos shooting the bride’s gown and accessories. The dress was very elegant and had a corset in the back. The bridesmaids were all busy helping Kathy get into her dress. They also helped with the jewelry and veil. Everyone was so full of excitement! It was now time to leave for the church so Kathy could finally see her groom!
We arrived at All Saints Catholic Church and Luis was there ready to start with his portion of the photography with all his guys. They all looked sharp in their tuxedos! Father Emmanuel got everyone in place and we were now ready for the bridal party to start the procession. Kathy look very radiant coming down the aisle with her dad on her arm. Her gorgeous bouquet was designed by Flowers by Ralph. The ceremony was short and very sweet. They both had special vows they said to each other. Most of their guests were in tears! Father Emmanuel blessed the couple with an ending prayer and then pronounced them husband and wife! It is always a pleasure to witness that start of the rest of this couple’s life together!
Kathy and Luis looked so happy coming down the aisle. Everyone was rejoicing with the both of them. We then gathered the families and started our family formals session. After the formals, we headed for the China Grill at Ft. Lauderdale Grande. There we did some fun shots with the newlyweds and their bridal party. We had some large yachts that we were able to use as our background for a couple of shots!
After we were done with the pictures, Kathy and Luis decided to join their guests for the remainder of the cocktail hour. There, I captured the bride and groom mingling with family and friends. The We were expecting a cold front that night but the weather was perfect! The reception room was decorated very nicely by Flowers by Ralph. There were beautiful centerpieces on the tables and the Restaurant had their finest china on display! Eddie, the grooms cousin, supplied the entertainment for night. He did a phenomenal job entertaining the all of the guests! At the end of the night, no one wanted to leave because the night was perfect!
Kathy and Luis, we wish we both lots of happiness in your new endeavor and thank you for allow us to be part of your special day.
