Paradise Cove Wedding – Leo & Michelle

I got to shoot another wedding out at Paradise Cove. This time for Leo and Michelle. The weather was awesome, the food was great and everyone had a great time. The last time I shot there it rained HARD all day and night, so it was nice to not worry about that. Leo is a bit reserved, but I saw him come out of his shell a few times that night. Anyway, congrats guys and hope you are enjoying the married life!

Here are some of my favorites…

Paradise Cove Wedding: Melanie and Josh

Melanie and Josh’s wedding goes down as the wettest I have ever worked. It was pouring all day long and not one of those short, but hard Florida rains. It was raining hard, had been for hours and was scheduled to not let up for several hours longer. Now, normally we would say bummer, no outside shots, but this was not your ordinary venue. This was Paradise Cove, where the venue is all about the outside. There isnt much of a plan B, but the folks over at Tuxedocatering were able to move the entire event under the large, covered patio.

On the patio, the venue had canvas “walls” for the rain, so they were able to pull those down. There were a drips here and there from the roof and those “walls” didnt seal out all the water. I went in thinking I was going to use natural light for the ceremony as it was later afternoon, but that storm made it feel like the sun had set long ago. So, I had to set up some lights. However, with all the wind and rain, I had to break out the fancy water proofing gear I had been saving for just this occasion so that my flashes and remotes didnt get ruined. If you are a potential client, dont read this next part… If you are a fellow photographer, then you know what I am talking about. Those good, ole kitchen trash bags did the trick and diffused the light just right.

Anyway, I also worked with Karen Osborne of StudioOsborne.com and she shot the trailer below. She was a blast to work with and cant wait to do it again…

What a great wedding, so thank you Melanie and Josh for the chance to shoot your wedding and be a part of your wet day! Here are my favorites from the day.

Amanda & Brian’s Paradise Cove Wedding

With trying to get client orders out by Christmas and my own personal shopping done, I am STILL catching up on blog updates. This wedding is from back in October and I still have a dozen posts to get caught up on…. so stay tuned as I make my way through the back log…

Amanda, Brian and I first worked together back in July at their engagement session on property at Disney’s Epcot. It was a HOT, humid day, but we had a blast! Well, their wedding was just as fun and a bit cooler as we soaked in the fresh air at Paradise Cove. It was my first time shooting out there, but ironically I have 3 next year down there.

Here are some of my favorites from their wedding:
