Levi and Nellie's Wedding

Don’t get me wrong, I love photographing those big weddings for pro athletes and celebrities however, every once in awhile I get to shoot those small, family and intimate events that are very special. In the wedding of Levi and Nellie, this past weekend, I experienced one of those events. I’ve known Levi for about ten years and I met him at one of the Advertising Agency that I shoot for. He was the creative director and did a little video production on the side. When he met Nellie, about 9 years ago, he told me she was the one for her. I believe it was on their first date. Now they live in New York and he was right. She is the one for him.The Ceremony in Infrared

The Ceremony.

Can you tell it was raining? We shot these fast!!

Even mom and dad was impressed.

They were married here in Winter Park, Florida at Casa Feliz. It was the first time I’ve photographed anything there and it’s a great little place if you want to have a small private event. Thank you to Levi and Nellie for inviting me to be part of their big day!

Recently we photographed a wedding at The Ritz-Carlton Grande Lakes in Orlando. The wedding was filmed for the television show Platinum Weddings and will be seen in a few months. Heather Snively of Weddings Unique designed the event, http://www.weddingsunique.com/ Richard and Bryan from Flourish created the floral at the church and the Bridal bouquets, http://flourishproductions.com/ The 'bare' table linens/napkins, floral, vessels, candelabras, candles and charges were deign by Sandie Cohen from Festivities of South Florida, http://www.festivitiesinc.com/ We had a wonderful time and it was one of the most incredible weddings that I have ever seen.

The ceremony took place at Rollins College in Winter Park.

Flourish's décor on the inside of church was outstanding.
