In a majority of relationship scenarios, a simple question will lead us to great discovery. Do opposites really attract? Are laid-back introverts finding themselves drawn to the outward characteristics of die-hard extroverts or is this just another modern myth? And what about the physical components of blue eyes seeking brown or the blonde seeking brunette? Hmmmm, let’s see…

Matching college major...check. Identical career path…check. Same job placement…check. Laid-back personalities…check. Level temperaments…check. Compatible faith…check. Related circle of friends…check. Parallel passions and pursuits…check. How about matching birthdays…check.  Head over heals in love...?  Check!

Mirella and Alfredo seem to defy the elements of “opposites attract” and yet their love for one another is unshakable in the midst of the greatest storm as they pursue their personal and professional dreams together.

The way I see it, we are all looking for a balance point. Finding that perfect someone who allows us to be who we are while playing a complimentary role in our lives as we journey through the twist and turns that come our way.

Mirella and Alfredo, thank you for keeping life fresh and allowing us to enjoy this time in your life. We are looking forward to your wedding day.

So how many reasons do you really need to fall in love? As I once heard it said, there are some people who seem to be creating their story as they move along while another set of people seem to be living out what was designed for them. Well, with a deep appreciation for the finer details of living, both Sara and Peter radiate when they are in each other’s presence as they drink in all that life has prepared for them. You cannot find this type of love on a city street corner or local market place...it is a love rooted in friendship, respect, and passion. It's a love that says to the world, regardless what you can offer me, I have found my place with my lover and nothing else will do, nothing else will satisfy. To belong to someone who belongs to you is enough and yet Sara plus Peter equals much more.

Her chic and elegant style are overshadowed only by her warmth and unconditional acceptance of others while Peter's grounded and sincere character simply accompany his generous and friendly spirit. Between the both of them, their vibrant personalities light up the room and quite frankly made us feel like we were family.

Sara and Peter, thank you sharing this day with us. We can't wait for your wedding experience and look forward to being their every step of the way.

As fate would unveil, Suna and Scott's relationship surprised them both as matters of legal counsel quickly developed into undeniable attraction. Scott's collective demeanor and balanced persona met its match through a simple phone call that would reshape their reality, as Suna simply requested good advice and in return found the man of her dreams. With her captivating baby blue eyes and nurturing spirit, Suna's warmth and compassion captured Scott's heart making way for another New York romance.

We had the pleasure of connecting with Suna and Scott for the first time at a Miami wedding we documented of newlyweds Scott and Kimberly Goodwin. So after a few quick and easy phone calls, we realized we were flying out to NYC once again for an amazing five days of shooting their central park engagement session along with a soul felt wedding celebration at the University Club (that post is coming soon).

Okay, okay....so I've had my hands full with tons happening on both business and personal levels beyond what I ever expected - but along with the waves of "happen-stance" comes the trill of riding those waves and the great news of progress that creates history!! I'm looking forward to sharing the latest accomplishments of Mike Meyer Photography, future goals, hot releases, personal updates and well... just good ol' blog material to keep life interesting. For now, here are a couple images from an amazing engagement session of the past with Erika and Dustin that illustrate how the unexpected can from time to time just hit us out of nowhere - can anyone relate?

Today I received an unexpected email. To my surprise, a friend I haven't heard from in roughly fifteen years found me through Facebook and yes, as expected, I was elated to be in touch as I recalled a handful of high school memories within a split second. As I continued reading, I quickly realized the immense role that memories serve in our lives as we are in many ways anchored by what we remember and equally by what we forget. In my response I expressed how each person we know carries a key to a unique side of "us" that allows us to be who we are. A simple child's expression or a loved one's look of affection can literally change the course of our day which is why I am continually inspired with each opportunity to capture a couples life and interaction. The reality is, I never really know what I'm getting into with each couple. In the case with Stacy and Lance... well we had a handful of introductory telephone conversations and the next thing we know, they are flying in from New York durning Thanksgiving time to shoot their engagement session! We arrived in Palm Beach and took full advantage of their breath taking front entrance as they danced in the soft light that fell beautifully across the landscape. A big congrats to you guys and thank you for being an absolute pleasure to work with (not to mention your adorable puppies). We are looking forward to your wedding day in 2009...
