They were joined by their friends and families for their destination wedding from Knoxville, TN.  Candace and Brian saw each other before the ceremony and we captured their romantic “first glance” in the beautiful gardens at the resort.  They were so adorable together- we had lots of fun photographing them. Candace was gorgeous in her elegant gown and reminded me of Rapunzel  (in the window image).  She and her 2 sisters were lovely.  Brian is a film director in Knoxville, so I was very honored they chose me to photograph their wedding from all the photographers in this area.

Patti Fuenffinger of Wedding On An Island perfomed a beautiful ceremony  on the beach.  There were plenty of dramatic clouds for their sunset images.  Flowers were done by Marco Island Florist Jade and the rest of the staff at the Marco Beach Ocean Resort did a fantastic job, as they always do for all their weddings.  Give Corrin Green a call at 239-393-1406 to check availablilty for your wedding date.  

Zoey’s Bat Mitzvah

Zoey made her grand entrance rising above the crowd in a cloud of smoke.  Black Tie Entertainment
had the crowd dancing all night.  We love to work with Black Tie Entertainment- when they are at an event, it’s non stop fun.  Rob had his whole team of dancers, games, blow up guitars, fireman and sailor hats, glow in the dark gloves and jump suits and his stage and light show for the party. Our friends from AMC Video did the montage and video for the event. Everyone had so much fun that evening-  you will have to see the slideshows to appreciate it all…

Most of Lynne’s family lives on Hawaii but she had relatives who traveled from as far away as Norway for the celebration.  Most of Steve’s family is from New York and were very happy to get out of the cold for a wonderful week on Waikiki Beach.  The whole week was jam packed with all kinds of activities all over the island including surfing, a luau, hiking to Diamondhead, Pearl Harbour, shopping and lots of time in the sun. Here are a few images from the Oahu wedding photography.

Lynne’s family lives on Oahu and Steve and Lynne have visited the island 4 times to make all the wedding arrangements.  Both families had time to relax and get to know each other before the wedding tomorrow.  The kids had a great time, swam at the beach and found lots of gecko’s in the greenery.  Everyone took at tour of the historic home which dates back to the 1930’s.  This afternoon all the kids are at the pool.  Stay tuned for the wedding tomorrow which will be at another oceanfront historic estate.  Doreen

Pipeline 01  Pipeline 02 Pipeline 03 Pipeline 05 Pipeline 04 Pipeline 06 Yesterday we took a road trip to the North Shore of Oahu.  The boys got a taste of surfing at the beach on Waikiki.  They heard the best waves in the world are at The Pipeline on the North Shore of the island so we were off.  The beach was beautiful and the waves were about ten feet which is small for that area.  The boys had the best time of their lives surfing all day and luckily no one crashed on the rocks.  Here are a few images from our outing.  Today we are off to the Bayer Plantation for a brunch for the wedding.  I will post more pictures later this week….
