Miami Destination Wedding at The Deering Estate

Laura and Carlos hosted a stylish and fun destination wedding at one of my favorite Miami wedding venues, The Deering Estate.  When they initially started thinking about their wedding day they knew they wanted a beautiful outdoor ceremony and a big "fancy-dress" dinner party with delicious food, free flowing wine, and all night dancing.  With the help of their fabulous wedding planners, Jessica and Michael of Masi Events, that's exactly what they got.  Laura got ready at The Edition on South Beach, which provided a great backdrop for the ladies getting ready and enjoying a pre-ceremony toast. Simply put, it was a perfect day.  You can see more details about this Miami Destination Wedding on Style Me Pretty.  (see a full list of the talented vendors below the photos)

Brooklyn Engagement Session

I always love the opportunity to visit New York City.  It's so full of life and character and I love shooting somewhere different.  For this session, we did the first part in Dutchess County, at Laura and Carlos' historic farm house that they are renovating and then finished their session the next morning in Park Slope.  We took beautiful photos, ate delicious food and bonded our mutual love of Ryan Adams.  It was truly a dream session.

Organic Estancia Culinaria Wedding

Inspired by their venue, Estancia Culinaria, a working avocado farm in Homestead, Leiana and Jason had a relaxed and effortless wedding day.  Alore Events did a beautiful job pulling all of their design elements together and directing a flawless, yet fun and laid-back vibe.  Their First Look in the avocado grove was emotional and touching, and there wasn't a dry eye (mine included) during their ceremony.  The reception featured a full dance floor with dinner provided by two food trucks serving tacos and grilled cheese sandwiches. Their day was featured on Snippet and Ink.  Head over to read more about their inspiration and favorite parts of the day.

Palm Beach Wedding at the Flagler Museum

The Flagler Museum is one of Palm Beach's most historic wedding venues and was the perfect backdrop for Isabel and Elliot's elegantly stylish destination wedding.  The day was flawlessly executed by one of my favorite planners, Posh Parties, with a dream team of vendors (scroll down for a complete list).  Isabel and Elliot had a sweet "First Look" moment at the Society of the Four Arts before making their way to Flagler Museum in a vintage red convertible.
