Elizabeth and the Girls | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Darren — Thu, 29 Apr 2010 20:37:45 +0000

Recently, I had the pleasure of photographing Elizabeth and her daughters, Kendra and Sabrina down at Riverwalk in Fort Lauderdale. They’re really into books and wanted them featured in their portraits. So, they brought along some of their favorite books and we had a terrific time at one of my favorite locations. Thanks ladies!

P.S. In case you’re wondering, the girls enjoyed works by John Irving, Stephenie Meyer, Jean Craighead George, and Dr. Seuss.

Judith & David Married | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Judith and David are such a lovely couple. When they told me they were getting married at the New River Inn, I was super excited because it’s such a quaint little building, one of the oldest in Fort Lauderdale. From what I hear, this unique historic location has just recently opened its doors to wedding events. A special thank you to Linda of the Fort Lauderdale Historical Society and the rest of the staff at the New River Inn!

One thing to look out for is the railroad track picture. Frankly, I’ve never been a huge fan of these, but I must, Judith and David made it work. You two were great!

Amy & Steve Married | Fort Lauderdale, FL

Oh my gosh, Amy and Steve’s wedding was so cool. Every detail was accounted for…from the golf balls with each guest’s name on them to Amy’s monogrammed wedding shoes! One of the more unique moments at the ceremony was the blending of sands from Florida and Australia, symbolizing the joining of Amy and Steve. I can’t wait to get the album put together!

I also want to take time to thank Jeffrey Scott French, a terrific photographer who came over from Florida’s west coast to help out. He grabbed some great pictures and made my day a whole lot easier.

Lastly, I want to thank the folks at the Ritz Carlton Fort Lauderdale for an excellent venue and LMG Events for organizing the day. When you get a chance, also check out work by Valerie Stanley (makeup), Barmey Ung (guitarist), James w/ Vision DJs, and Forget Me Not Flowers.

Aisha

When Aisha first asked me to do her maternity pictures, I was a bit hesitant. Honestly, I’d never done maternity pictures; hadn’t really thought about it. Aisha was so sweet, though, and insisted she liked my style enough to give it a go.

I’m so glad she did because I had a great time with her out at the beach. Can you guess her future son’s name?

Preview – Bella and Justin

Gosh, I can’t believe how cool today’s couple was. Bella and Justin are just the nicest people you’d ever want to meet. Bella came to me after a less-than-satisfying experience with another photographer–we won’t name names because I don’t even want to know.

Anyway, they wanted some pictures in their full wedding gear, so we headed out to Las Olas this morning to get some fabulous pics. Despite me walking them around for almost two hours and one dress change, they were still as motivated on the last shot as they were on the first!

The first shot is pretty clean while the other two are just fun edits. Check out Justin’s glasses in the second pic. More to come later!
