Keeping the Faith | Ft. Lauderdale Wedding Photographer

I always feel it’s an honor and a privelege when a family chooses me to document and photograph them.   There are HUNDREDS of photographers out there.  All with different styles and price ranges and product offerings.   It’s another thing entirely when I’m hired by another photographer!   There are no words to describe how awesome it feels!!!!

So meet Faith and Jeff.  Faith and her boyfriend Jeff were on vacation, last week, in sunny Ft. Lauderdale Beach.  (they live in Rhode Island)  Faith is a fabulous wedding photographer and her (now fiance) Jeff, is a restauranteur.  They’re here a few days, and one night for dinner Jeff takes her to  “Ft. Lauderdale’s Most Romantic Restaurant”; Casablanca Cafe (gorgeous old mediterranean style building right on Ft. Lauderdale Beach) and PROPOSES!!   Faith, being the photographer she is,  is ready for her engagement session.  What a great way to capture and remember this momentous and special vacation!!  After exchanging a couple of emails and talking on the phone once, I met them Friday morning at the Casablanca Cafe.  The restaurant was closed that early in the morning, which is just what we wanted!

(WARNING…….this is a long one!)

Let me just stop here to say that Faith, is one of the MOST PHOTOGENIC people I’ve ever photographed.  And her Fiance Jeff, such a good sport!!   She knew how to work it!  They both made my job fun!  I didn’t want the session to end, because I knew that each image was better than the last.

We walked a few blocks north on A1A till we came to the ultra modern and luxurious W Hotel.  Remember, it was pretty early in the morning, so there weren’t too many people out and about.  The W Hotel has a covered veranda/patio overlooking A1A with the most AMAZING red chairs.  And the covered veranda allowed for the most GORGEOUS light.

I can’t decide what I love more….the amazing light, or my 85mm lens!!!!!

I love these next two shots!  You can almost believe that I wasn’t there!

Congratulations Faith and Jeff!!!  It was such an honor to be given the opportunity to capture this very special time for the two of you!!!!!!
