Everyone knows weddings can be romantic, sentimental, and the start of a new life for a couple in love.  Adam and Kim strongly believe that a wedding should be all these plus lots of FUN! I recently photographed this couple’s Florida Wedding at the Venetian River Club in Venice. Every element of the celebration was bursting at the seams with creativity and fun as the personality of Kim and Adam shone through vibrantly.

Many of the details and decor related to peacocks since the bride’s new last name is now Mrs. Peacock. She carried a peacock broach on her flowers and a peacock ice sculpture was displayed at the reception. “Kissing” billiard balls were incorporated into the centerpieces since the bride and groom are fans of pool. At the reception, their two pet boxers were brought out in a dress and a tuxedo to the tune, “Who Let The Dogs Out” and the first dance of the newlywed couple was to “Marry Me” by Train.  Another unique element was that instead of having guests clink their glasses to request a kiss from the bride and groom, they had to ride a tricycle across the dance floor.

Some of my favorite pictures were taken under Spanish moss next to the Myacra River, a favorite spot at the Venetian River Club. So many aspects of Adam and Kim’s wedding really did make it romantic, sentimental, and especially FUN! I’m so grateful for the chance to have celebrated in their special day by capturing the different moments of this bride and groom. Everyone in attendance would agree that this wedding was exceptional, and for that, Kim and Adam should be “proud as peacocks”.

Bryan and Lauren reinforce the theory that opposites attract. She is a detailed planner. He is relaxed and just lets things happen. As different as this couple is in many areas, they compliment each other perfectly making their circle of love continuous and complete. Lauren and Bryan’s wedding at the Hyatt Regency Hotel Celebrates their Jewish heritage and captures their authentic love.

The ceremony and the reception were held at the Hyatt Regency Hotel in Coconut Pointe. The beautiful religious ceremony paid tribute to the couple’s Jewish heritage and they incorporated wedding traditions such as the signing of ketubah, a beautiful chuppah dripping with fresh orchids, circling 7 times, and dancing the hora.

As the celebration continued into the reception, an over-the-top cocktail hour was the first part of a spectacular feast and multiple courses were served throughout the evening. The live band, Powerhouse, had guests dancing as if they were at a rock concert which was perfect for Bryan and Lauren because he Dj’s for weddings on the side and she loves to dance.

Tradition and culture. Laughter and celebration. Some of the first of many things this perfectly matched couple will share as they enjoy life together- opposites in personality but unified in love.

A current popular wedding trend is something called a Martini Luge. A Martini Luge is created by first taking a block of ice and carving it into a personal shape for the bride and groom. The alcohol is then poured into the top of the ice sculpture and the liquid pours out of the bottom of the frozen form producing ice cold drinks. A Martini Luge is not only elegant decor that adds to the atmosphere, it is also a super fun and interactive addition to any wedding bar. It elevates the cocktail into the realm of entertainment and turns filling up your Martini glass into a wedding reception experience guests will love!

Every girl dreams of her wedding day. For Racquel, her dream included saying “I do” on a tropical beach with the beauty of nature to echo her love. Racquel’s dream came true as she and Greg declared their love and lifelong commitment to each other on the shore of Marco Ocean Beach Resort.

I had the privilege of meeting this couple months before their special day where I was honored to shoot their engagement portraits. Both the bride and groom live in Florida and their sun-kissed beach wedding was as much climactic as it was romantic.

The location was spectacular for a Florida wedding and Marco Island Beach Resort is one of my favorite places to photograph with it’s European architecture and charm. The cocktail hour took place a beautiful terrace over looking the Gulf of Mexico. The sounds of laughter, jazz, dancing, and cake eating filled the ballroom and the celebration continued as they moved the after party to an evening club on the Resort property. Every detail of the day was enchanting, beautiful, and a “dream come true”.

Cyril and Rachael have known each other for 17 years. He owns Fulton’s Fine Furnishings in Ireland which carries everything from bedsheets, grandfather clocks and sofas and that is were the couple originally met. After dating for 8 years, they decided to get married and their beautiful wedding was held at the Ritz Carlton Beach Resort in Naples. The wedding was nothing short of an international affair as people flew in from all over Europe, and some guests even making the trip from New Zealand!

The reception was held in the newly renovated Artisan’s Room at the Ritz Carlton and reflected elegance and charm in every detail. It was a wine themed wedding so each table was appropriately named after various types of wine and different wines were served with each course of the meal. Besides delicious cuisine, guests were surprised with a Baccarat bag on each of their seats. Fine crystal necklaces and bracelets for the ladies, and cuff links for the gentlemen.  As the newlywed couple shared their first dance to Songbird, by Eva Cassidy, the general splendor of the evening was intoxicating. The romantic couple and elegant decor was nothing less than “picturesque”.

Crystal and Tim were married at the Kensington Country Club in Naples and incorporated trees into their themed wedding. Everything from the invitations to the reception decor was branded with their signature emblem. The table names were different trees such as Cedar and Pine. The guestbook was an artistic tree print and guests used thumb prints to make “leaves” to sign their names. Earthy tones and candlelit branches tied everything together making Tim and Crystal’s wedding day classy and trendy.

The symbolism for the tree theme was taken from an Irish symbol called The Tree of Life. Tree reverence is a major feature within Celtic religion as the tree reflects the link between heaven an earth- Roots reach down to the earth and its branches reach up to the heavens. The Irish symbol closely resembles that on Tim and Crystal’s invitations and celebrates their Irish heritage.

Theme weddings are a creative way to add personalty and make the occasion memorable for the couple as well as the guests. Tim and Crystal were such a delightfully fun couple to shoot. They were up for different ideas and poses and I was able to get great shots that show off this truly stunning couple.

Dazzling, classy, grand, elegant, stylish, extravagant are all synonyms that can be used to describe the wedding of Doug and Mimi that took place at the Ritz Carlton Resort in Naples. They stopped at nothing to ensure their day of celebration was one of breathtaking beauty and awe.  A day that will be remembered forever by anyone who was fortunate enough to share in it.

The beachfront of the Ritz Carlton was tented and carpeted to create an elegant ceremony tent in the midst of Florida paradise. As guests were escorted by Brazilian dancers to the cocktail hour, they were greeted by stilt walkers, musicians, and performers. A live band flown in from California provided jazzy music to compliment the symphony of laughter and twinkling glasses.

After the reception, a drumroll and the the drop of a beaded curtain wall revealed a special “Afterglow” complete with a separate DJ, lounge furnature, a glowing bar, and a midnight buffet of gourmet burgers, a white chocolate fountain, a full candy bar, and ice cream buffet.

The entire night was filled with laughter, dancing, and overflowing joy from family and good friends who had flown in from around the country, along with honored guests from Korea. The night was truly a celebration of love and of unity with those closest to the bride and groom. Doug’s best man gave the most sincere and moving speech I have ever witnessed and their children shared comical yet touching stories about how their parents are the perfect match. Doug and Mimi are an outrageously fun couple who are adored by many. Love was not only in the air, it was everywhere.

Doug and Mimi chose the wedding weekend package of photography coverage to capture all the wedding events. From the rehearsal dinner and wedding day extravaganza to the Sunday brunch, they did not want to miss one moment or memory of the celebration. I was honored to be along for each step of their glamorous occasion and wish them all the joy and happiness in their new marriage and life of togetherness.

I am so excited to announce that Jennifer Angeloro Photography has been chosen to be featured in Style Me Pretty.

Brooke and Vincent were married at the beautiful West Bay Club in Estero FL. The venue is amazing with breathtaking views from the clubhouse. The ceremony was held outside under gorgeous, mature palm trees with waterfalls cascading in the background. It couldn’t be any more perfect!!

Brooke and Vincent also did something most couples dont do – they saw each other before the ceremony!! We had a special “First Sight” moment for the two of them and then we went into all of their photos of family, bridal party and their couples portraits. This is really nice because then the bride and groom actually get to enjoy their cocktail hour!! We LOVE that!!

Here is a sneak peek from their special day!! Enjoy!!
