Suna and Scott: Wedding New York City

Wedding
Ceremony and reception: University Club New York
Creative Director: Brian Bennett
Hair Stylist: Tommy
Make Up: Suna Said Maslin
Floral Design: University Club New York
Dress Design: Kleinfeld Manhattan
Shoes: Grazia

If it were as simple as reading the labels or sifting through an instruction manual on how to end up in the arms of your soulmate, I think we would all drop what we are doing, run to the nearest bookstore, and purchase our very own copy before the time you finish viewing this post. Essentially, to love...and to be loved is at the core of each individual, however; love takes courage, determination, vulnerability and sacrifice, only to mention a few. These are the foundational building blocks that carry us through a lifetime of shaping until we are that single puzzle piece that fits snug and tight with our counterpart. It is one of our distinct pleasures to witness time and time again, the union of two individuals as they, along with their respective families begin this journey of "oneness".

The streets of Manhattan were filled with the usual winter wear, passing taxis and an occasionally gathering for one of the morning television shows as we arrived to 54th and 5th. Our trip to the city was met with magnificent blue skies, somewhere in the mid to lower 30's, and even better company as we were scheduled to spend the weekend capturing the unquestionable connection of Scott Maslin and Suna Said in what is now one of the greatest times of their lives. Scott and Suna compliment each other all to well as was self evident while strolling through Central Park for a breath taking engagement session, attending the heart felt rehearsal dinner at Hill Country Bar-B-Q, and documenting their extraordinary wedding celebration with friends and family at the University Club, NY.

Aside from the obvious, both Scott and Suna are internally hard wired to make it to the finish line with flying colors and we are honored to have been part of this time in their lives that only marks the beginning. Scott and Suna: We hope that these images preserve your dreams and know they will act as a reminder of your unfailing love for each other. We are ever grateful to have joined your friends and family for this wonderful experience and look forward to all that is in store.

Kristin and Matthew Wedding

Wedding
Ceremony and reception: Biltmore Hotel Coral Gables
Creative Director: Bruce Barbaree
Hair Stylist: Gina Simone
Make Up: Megan Hill
Floral Design: Petal Production - Raffi Grosz
Dress Design: Monique Lhuillier
Shoes: Jimmy Choo

There is a look on every brides face that communicates one thing and one thing alone... We were greeted at the Biltmore Hotel in Coral Gables with hugs and kisses as the gorgeous bride-to-be moved across the room with glowing anticipation. Kristin contained herself however her eyes clearly spoke - this is my moment to look and feel my very best as I am presented as a gift to the one man I will treasure for a lifetime to come. The day began with detailed preparation however before we knew it, Matthew was pacing towards his prize with an irreplaceable smile, her bouquet in hand, and a desire to hold close the future Mrs. Kristin Arbuckle Lazenby. Kristin and Matthew's guests sat in around, as the beautiful ceremony unfolded into the evening skyline - readings, vows, candles, rings... "you may kiss your bride!!" I was up far to late into the wee-hours of the morning creating this post with more images than I knew what to do with as I was looking forward to releasing every shot with a smile on my face. Every aspect of this amazing day fell perfectly into line and the celebration taking place at the reception displayed just that. Incredible food and atmosphere, great music, unforgettable dancing, lots of laughter, two genuinely heart felt families, and two amazing lives becoming one - what more could you ask for. Kristin and Matthew: there are no limits, there are no boundaries that hold you, there are no walls that hide you from all that life has in store for you two and your love for each other is evidence of just that. Thank you for inviting us to preserve each moment of this amazing day. :)

Janelle and Rene Wedding

Wedding
Ceremony: Coral Gables Congregational
Reception: JW Marriott
Hair and Makeup: Raquel Reyes / Hair with Style
Dress: Private Collection Coral Gables Bridal
Shoes: Filippa Scott London
Florist: Jorege Nevot / Nevot Flowers
Cake: Cake Design by Edda

From childhood we read about them in story books and watch on the big screen as the couple walks down the aisle, but how often do we actually experience a true life "fairy tale wedding"? Those were the very words spoken by Rene & Janelle Fragoso as they expressed absolute satisfaction in every detail of their wedding experience which was seamlessly orchestrated by the mother of the bride, Sol Angel Garcia. Family and friends filled the pews as we witnessed the exchange of vows and a commitment to a lifetime of love at the Coral Gables Congregational Church only to be followed by the elegant JW Marriott reception. The ballroom, the band, the lighting, the food, and of course the people made this night unforgettable. Janelle radiated throughout the night as Rene fell perfectly into character and danced the night away with his beautiful bride while celebrating the promise of their new life together. Rene and Janelle: You are an inspiration to many that love is still out there and ready to be found. Thank you for choosing us to document your wedding experience and allowing us to share in your celebration.

Karina and Manuel Wedding

Wedding
Ceremony: Gesu Catholic Church
Reception: Douglas Entrance Coral Gables
Shoe Wear: Pelle Moda
Floural Design: Joel's Floural Design
Cake Design: Cake Designs by Eddas
Food: Gourmet food and services

Karina and Manuel's big day started off great and somehow just kept getting better. Karina's maid of honor said it best as she expressed during her reception toast - "Karina has known what her wedding day would look since she was a little girl with every detail in mind..." Karina connected with her soul-mate as these two are fun-loving, romantic, attractive, and determined which played out perfectly and reflected in their wedding day. Karina was glowing as she approached Manuel, her handsome husband-to-be, at the alter where they would share their vows with smiles from ear to ear. The night was full of emotion as family and friends packed the dance floor to celebrate an irrefutable fact...these two were made for each other as everyone witnessed first hand. We had the privilege of documenting this monumental moment in time although Karina and Manuel treated us like guests. Karina & Manuel: From the bottom of our hearts thank you for everything and congratulations!! The two of you are an absolute blessing to us and we look forward to getting together soon.
