The first wedding of the year is always so very exciting, and I was WAY excited to shoot Christine and Justin’s wedding! Their wedding day was absolutely spectacular – a combination of the gorgeous couple, the amazing vendors who helped everything go smoothly, plus the beautiful venues we shot in (the wedding ceremony at St Mary’s Cathedral in Miami & the reception at Miami Beach Resort & Spa). Thanks also to my awesome friend Jessica for shooting along side me that day!
On to the wedding… This blog post is pretty massive. There were lots of emotions flowing during the course of the day, LOTS of absolutely incredible details (many of them thanks to the incredibly fabulous wedding coordinator Letty of LMG Events), and so many beautiful images that I just couldn’t leave out! Nearly 50 photographs in this post, one of my largest wedding posts in a very long time!
I already had a great rapport with the couple thanks to the engagement session that we shot together in December – it was a great session and we really got to know each other and get comfortable over the course of a couple hours shooting. Looking back, since we didn’t have a lot of time to shoot portraits at the Resort on the wedding day, I think having done an engagement session with me really made Christine & Justin more comfortable with my shooting style and we were able to get some fabulous casual (and very classy) portraits utilizing different areas of the Resort in a very short amount of time!
I am really excited about all of the beautiful images that we captured of Christine, Justin, and their friends and family on their wedding day. I hope you two enjoy your images as much as I do!!!!
