You may remember Melorie & Art from their fabulous Los Angeles engagement session. I knew from the first day I met these two that their Key West destination wedding was going to be off the hook!! This wedding was ALL that and so much more!  The day began with an intimate Catholic ceremony at the St. Mary Star of the Sea Catholic Church, witnessed by family.  That was followed by a quick couple’s session around beautiful Key West, and then an outdoor ceremony at the gorgeous Reach Resort, overlooking the blue-green Atlantic. It doesn’t get much better than that for a destination wedding. No detail was overlooked- from a local cigar roller serving up his finest at the reception- to a custom-made ice bar- to a surprise fireworks show that Melorie & Art put on for their guests. Such an incredible wedding day with amazing friends & family. Melorie & Art, thanks for letting me be part of such a FAB day! What a great wedding! Your comments are always welcomed. I’d love to hear from you!

A big thanks to the vendor team for doing such an amazing job with this destination wedding!

Brianna & Tony are ROCK STARS!! I just adore these two, and had so much fun shooting their wedding.  They chose to tie the knot at the beautiful Clifton Inn, an amazing location for a Virginia wedding. Incredible chemistry, elegant style and complete trust in their crazy photographer = one of my all-time favorite weddings of 2009! Congratulations Brianna & Tony!! Thanks for allowing me to be a part of such a special day!
