Melanie and Jimmy's Marco Island Beach Wedding

High school sweethearts Jimmy and Melanie met up 17 years later and now are husband and wife!  They live on the east coast of Florida and decided Marco Island was the perfect place for a sunset beach wedding.  Marco Island did not disappoint!  The sunset was absolutely fabulous!

 Melanie looked super sexy and gorgeous on the balcony of the Marco Hilton.

 The Marco Hilton is a gorgeous place to photograph!

Repeat clients and referrals!

Four years ago, I was referred a wedding by Weddings by Phyllis. Chris and Cindy came from the north to have a beautiful beach wedding on Marco Island. Instead they had a monsoon on their wedding day in November of 2005! We made it fun by borrowing the yellow slickers from the valet guys at the Marco Hilton and captured the crazy, windy, rainy day in a fun way!

Four years later, it was family reunion time on Captiva Island.

We work hard to make our clients happy and to keep them coming back!
Every client should turn into a client for life!!

The photography classes and club

I've been working on so many things that I haven't had a spare minute! Tonight we hosted an event for professional photographers. Stan Reedy from Reedy Photoprocess came down from St Petersburg, FL to show some of the Reedy products and the quality of their photographic prints. Using a professional lab is an absolute for great images.
It was fun, educational and a great networking opportunity! And I didn't take one picture! I meant to but I was busy chatting away!

Saturday was our Sunset Portrait class. It was two hours of class work then on to the beach. My studio is only 10 minutes from my favorite beach! The students had lots of fun - even though we didn't have a sunset. But it didn't rain so we were lucky. We had four lovely young women modeling for us. Thanks to the students who said all those nice things about the class on the Meetup site! www.meetup.com/photography-naples
