Erica & Joseph

Erica and Joseph….. Wow! What a couple. What a wedding!

We got to spend a lot of time with these two extraordinary people that day and couldn’t have been more fortunate to be a part of their whimsical wedding ceremonies.

Set at the Four Seasons in Brickell the big day began with a whirlwind afternoon of hairspray, cologne, makeup and lots of laughs. Although they got ready separately, their ensembles were a match made in heaven! From the red bottoms of their Christian Louboutin’s to the beautifully matched white glow of her Gabriella Arango dress and his Tom Ford tuxedo.

The first time they laid eyes on each other that day was a moment taken out of a magazine! What was left of that days sun poured into a window lined hallway while Erica gracefully swept across the carpet towards her future husband.. Joseph was eager with a handsome smile, waiting for her to “tap tap tap” on his shoulder…. it really was perfect.

The rest of the evening was a wonder. The ceremony was magical and held under a beautifully framed Huppa by the pool and the party went on until the sun was ready to make another appearance….

Posted on 5 Jan ’12 by Leo Photographer

A morning on the beach with Ann and Alex was like being in an old romantic movie. Their love is so natural and vibrant it effortlessly translates from real life to still photos.

The day of their wedding at the Mayfair Hotel was also a beautiful experience. Ann was so full of happiness and her smile was a constant gift to everyone in the room. She got ready with grace pausing briefly from time to time to soak in the moments as they came and went with every clock tick. Alex was cool and focused but busy preparing for the big day and making sure everything would go perfect for his beautiful bride to be.

A true love surrounds this couple as their loving friends and family gather together to celebrate and support Ann and Alex’s new life together.

Idalys & Jose’s Wedding at One Bal Harbor Hotel

Posted on 21 Jul ’11 by Leo Photographer

A few weeks before the wedding, Idalys and Jose shared a romantic sunrise together on South Beach. As the sky woke up from the night it filled with colorful clouds that rolled towards the shoreline purpose. The waves hit the sand with a romantic beat while Jose held Idalys close, taking in every minute of this naturally ideal moment. The sun rose fast that morning, but the moments are captured for ever in these beautiful and dramatic photographs.

The wedding was elegant, from the flowers to the smiles, everything was perfect. The One Bal Harbor Hotel was the ideal setting for this couple. The well balanced blend of art deco and modern sophistication complimented the couples chic style & romantic love.

Kristal & Daniel’s Vintage Train Station Engagement Session

Posted on 13 Jul ’11 by Leo Photographer

The Gold Coast Railroad Museum was the perfect setting for this classic couple’s engagement session. The trains whistle blows and the engine lets out a huff of steam as Kristal and Daniel breathe life into this standstill museum of retired trains and old buildings.

Kristal’s red lips pop against the rustic setting, her eyes confidently peer through her veil as she runs across the stations platform towards Daniel. Handsome and debonair he stands by the train waiting for her. They don’t want to miss this train. “All Aboard!” Is what you hear as they step fashionably onto the train. A window seat is necessary, for the things that they will pass on this trip will be well worth seeing.

Kristal and Daniel are about to embark on a romantic & mysterious journey with an amazing destination full of endless possibilities…

Holly & Daniel Real Time Proposal in South Miami Beach

Posted on 14 Apr ’11 by Leo Photographer

Holly and Daniel arrived in Miami for a much needed vacation, but for Daniel it was more than that, he was going to propose to Holly on this trip. Daniel contacted me a week prior with a great idea to have this moment captured in beautiful pictures. We planned the whole week leading up to this night to make sure everything was perfect.
It was a gorgeous evening on South Miami Beach, the sun was setting behind the Ritz Carlton and Loews Hotel as Daniel and Holly walked down the beach hand in hand. I was just a few yards away but my presence went unnoticed by Holly as Daniel got down on one knee. Her face lit up with unsuspecting excitement as Daniel began to ask her that special question. These timeless photos capture the beauty of true happiness and love as Holly says “Yes!” to Daniel.
