Karina and Manuel's big day started off great and somehow just kept getting better. Karina's maid of honor said it best as she expressed during her reception toast - "Karina has known what her wedding day would look since she was a little girl with every detail in mind..." Karina connected with her soul-mate as these two are fun-loving, romantic, attractive, and determined which played out perfectly and reflected in their wedding day. Karina was glowing as she approached Manuel, her handsome husband-to-be, at the alter where they would share their vows with smiles from ear to ear. The night was full of emotion as family and friends packed the dance floor to celebrate an irrefutable fact...these two were made for each other as everyone witnessed first hand. We had the privilege of documenting this monumental moment in time although Karina and Manuel treated us like guests. Karina & Manuel: From the bottom of our hearts thank you for everything and congratulations!! The two of you are an absolute blessing to us and we look forward to getting together soon.

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...
