Last weekend I traveled to Miami to photograph the stunning wedding of Amanda and Joe!  It was a weekend of first for me- the first time I ever almost ran over an alligator while driving, the first time a famous musician performed at one of my weddings (more on that later), and the first time I photographed a wedding at the unbelievably gorgeous Villa Woodbine, a mansion in Coconut Grove!

The details were incredible, from Amanda’s Oscar de la Renta dress and Miu Miu shoes to the beautiful tables under the clear tent outside, and everything in between!  Amanda and Joe had an amazing special event planned- Fat Joe (the famous rapper with several top 40 songs, for those of you scratching your heads right now) performed a set at their wedding!  They ended the evening with a sparkler exit, which gave me one of my favorite photographs of the day!  Many thanks to my good friend Andree Kehn who second shot for me. Here are a few of my faves:
