This was such a lovely way to bring in some of the groom’s heritage. And so much fun for the cocktail hour!

And of course, the fabulous Lo Vazquez - and his gorgeous wife! Note that Lo had his glasses on his head but preferred wearing them in the photo. He’s so stinking’ cute!

Enjoy some views of Southern Streams Ranch and today’s precious wedding. They blended their heritages- Vietnamese and Hispanic touches.

Okay, rain is supposed to begin at the venue in 17 minutes and last at least 50 minutes . . . I’m excited. I’m sure the beautiful bride is as well!

I’m not posting photos of the couple until after the wedding - so enjoy some venue photos 🤷🏼‍♀️

Nice to meet other locals - especially other Lakeland Vows folks! - last evening at Swan Room Venue.
The photo booths took up much more space than they were allotted so I gave up my table (notice white high top in video but missing in photos 😉) - no worries! It’s a beautiful intimate venue - perfect for baby or bridal showers, etc.
Kasey's Chaos Coordinators
Signature Limousine Florida (fun being the only rider in that sprinter bus!)
The Club at Eaglebrooke (so kind to allow us all parking plus the golf cart ride was fun!)
143 Wood Fired Pizza Truck & Catering (snacks looked yummy but glad I left for the visitors and others. . . those cannolis seemed to be quite the hit and I was fascinated watching them be filled!)
Skin Thermea (Taylor’s going to work on me - I’ll let you know)

Good businesses support one another. Clients are happier when they hire vendors who know and have worked together.
I support and love not only my couples - but also the amazing people who have lifted and supported me.

Thinking of a Polk County elopement? I have special pricing for Monday - Thursday events! And Melvin Rios Photography has offered to partner with me when available making a total package UNDER $500! (If he’s not available, I have other folks I can pull from!)
These are his photos!

Not just photography . . . but just got off the phone with a recent bride who called me in tears yet thanking me for the two “games” I played with her guests so she has SOME photos . . .

so sad when couples have "a friend" or "a student / beginner" photograph their wedding - and wind up with nothing they can print to frame or even post on social media.
Let your friends be guests.
Hire a professional.
Let beginners get experience as second shooters or posed situations. And read those contracts so you KNOW when to expect the full set.

DISCLAIMER: I am NOT a photographer nor am I married or related to one. I DO know great photographers in all price ranges who will get your photos back to you in a timely manner.
