We had a blast taking these portraits!

I absolutely loved Paul father’s vest and tie. Take a look!

I loved this shot of Krissy’s father unveiling her as he presented her to Paul. Krissy looked stunning and her father was full of emotion.

That look in her eyes, as she gazes Paul, this is the reason I love what I do.

Krissy and Paul: I wish you a beautiful and blessed life together. Todd, thank you for inviting me! You can see more images at Todd’s website.

Andrea and I understood that the only way we could actually come together was through patience and persistence. At some point, God would grant us the possibility of being together. I won’t lie to you; long distance relationships are very difficult and often end. There were many times Andrea and I felt angry or frustrated at seeing how normal couples could enjoy the simple things in life “together” and we couldn’t. We missed many important dates like our college graduations,  anniversaries, and even birthdays and some Christmases.   And let me tell you that arguing over the phone, without being able to see each other or even hug to make-up was very tough! The more time passed, the more difficult it was to say good-bye every time I traveled to Canada. It was never easy to travel over there knowing that we had to say good-bye. It often took weeks to emotionally recover from each trip.

After five years, we have seen the light at the end of the tunnel! My lovely Andrea and I were able to finally marry and now we have the opportunity to finally be together in a country like no other, Canada. I absolutely love Canada. Many people tell me, “You’re leaving the wonderful Miami weather, are you crazy?!” I tell them, “I’m bringing the sunshine to Canada. And when it gets cold, my wife will keep me warm!” Canadians are amazing people and I’ve only experienced wonderful things there. If you follow me on Facebook or Twitter, you know all about my experiences there and how much I love my family to the North.

November will be my last month actually living in Miami, but don’t worry, it’s not as if I’m never coming to Miami again! I’m just finally settling down with the love of my life and having the life my wife and I deserve to have. The patience and the persistence paid off!

What does all of this mean to my clients in Miami? Well, an opportunity to celebrate love with me! Nothing else will change. As a matter of fact, I have and will continue to book weddings for 2010 in Miami. Remember that I consider Miami and Toronto part of my local area so there are not travel charges.

What does this mean to my clients in Toronto? Well, now you will have me closer to home! I’m looking forward to making a huge presence in Toronto and the surrounding area. I look forward to  getting to know more of you and making great friends. To my photographer colleagues in Canada, I can’t wait to hang out more with you guys!

When is this all happening? November is my last month in Miami. Baby, “I’ll be home for Christmas. Oh and Bruno too!”

Viviana's Wedding Dress was lovely!

Viviana Looked Amazing!

The Groom, Jose, with his Crew.

The Church was stunning. I still can't belive that it is 400-years old!

In a "Callejon" within Old San Juan..simply paradise!

In front of "Casa de España." What a lovely place for photos.

A special thanks goes to Eugenia  M. Murillo (787) 568-3511. She is an amazing wedding planner in Puerto Rico!

Viviana and Jose, thank you so much for allowing me to capture your most special day. I wish you both everlasting happiness!

The day was fantastic with bright blue skyes and really, REALLY  WARM South Florida temperatures. We all arrived at 10am and were about to begin our session when suddenly we felt them: mosquitoes!! Too many for us to count, and I was wearing shorts! So I decided to make a quick run to the nearby gas station to buy “Off insect repellent”.  Thank God for “Off,” because other wise, those mosquitoes would have eaten us alive!!!

Mosquitos were not the only insects we encountered during our engagement session. We also had a friendly encounter with these:

The "Golden Orb Weaver" is the Spider family located at Deering Estate Park.

It seems that this seasonal spider is prolific in Deering Estate and let me tell you, there were many!! But relax, according to the Park Rangers, these spiders are harmless to human beings, they are just “scary looking”! Well, we didn’t try to test their theory so we let them be and carefully maneuvered ourselves through some of the webs to catch some great images! Jose and Viviana were amazing and very brave! Thanks to their braveness, I took these images of them:

After a great beginning, we headed over to the main house for additional images. I wont kid you, the day was hot and humid, but these two made it feel so much better as I had a great time capturing their love. Enjoy the rest of the images below:

Next stop for us is Puerto Rico! Jose and Viviana’s wedding is next month in the beautiful island of Puerto Rico and let me tell you: it will be explosive!

Jose and Viviana, thank you for the great time today, enjoy these previews and I look forward to your wedding in Puerto Rico next month!
