Erin & Eric: The Wedding Day

Friday, November 28th, 2008

What a fabulous event to take place at The Hilton Resort this November for Erin & Eric! We really enjoyed working with this couple and their families to create a wonderful event. Erin really wanted unique floral pieces for her guests and family to enjoy– we loved the cymbidium orchids, unique green callas and brassilea berries– to name a few. Greg got some romantic shots of them outside on the beach– it was a bit windy, but definately romantic. Congratulations to you both! We look forward to the years ahead of photographing you as your family grows!

What a sweet little baby!   At only two weeks old, Grady is still a little guy. As you can see, his big brother Devon is a dol-fan, still figuring out if he’s a fan of Grady’s, but Devon knows heiis a fan for Miami already!  Go fins!

Hot House Yoga: 40 days

Friday, November 14th, 2008

I joined Hot House Yoga about 4 weeks ago, after a very close friend said I should come try the class with her.  I didn’t quite know what I was getting myself into.  Of course I’ve taken dance, pilates and exercise classes in my past, but I have never placed a single toe into a “Yoga studio.”

Driving up to their doors, I had zero expectations for the class.  The only figure that I kept envisioning in my head was the Material Girl Madonna, believe it or not.  I was hopeful that I wouldn’t have to wear any kind of red bracelets or open a book on Kabalah during class.  Yoga?!  “Ok,” I thought.  “I’m going to be open to this experience entirely.”  I have to admit that I was very intimidated.  I wasn’t sure what might be next.  Who would I meet?  What strange position would I have to contort myself into? Would I fall on my face?  Just what the HECK was I getting myself into?  (sigh!)

Hot House Yoga was such a unique first experience, just walking into the building made me feel like I was stepping foot upon “sacred ground.” Every sense in my body was alert– and my mind racing that wondered if I was seriously going to embarass myself.  I’m rarely a new comer… so this was an exciting and completely new moment for me.  Grab a mat, a towel– and then you are there.   The experience of walking into a room with a temperature set at 95 degrees for 90 minutes is hard to imagine until you enter.   It’s incredible– it’s as though the entire room has swallowed you whole… and the walls have slightly wrapped themselves around you.  As much as you would like to escape (the panic sets in), you know that you can fight through the ackwardness and uncomfortableness of the sauna like conditions.  The only thing that you can do is…. BREATHE!  You can make it through.

The people who take this class are such a diverse group.  Women, Men, the young, the old, the tall, the short, the fat, and the thin — the yin and yang cross section of this city.  There are some classmates whose skill level, balance and strength is so inspiring… and I find myself challenged by their presence alone.  Before too long, I realize that the skill, balance and strength is within me too.  After 90 minutes of intense training, soulful meditation, and lots of sweat– you leave class ready for the incredible day ahead.  It’s a difficult but rewarding way to start any day.  I can’t believe how much I enjoyed it.

If you haven’t been to this type of Yoga before, I highly recommend this class and the teachers.  Hot House is starting a 40 day challenge on November 17th that I am seriously considering taking.  I’m not sure whats holding me back.  I realize that the experience of doing this every day for 40 days is a tough prospect– but I’m always up for a good challenge.

If anyone is interested in taking a yoga class with me… I invite you to come share a day. You won’t forget it. -Corrine

Rebekah & Chester: The Engagement Session

Friday, November 14th, 2008

We met Rebekah & Chester earlier this year and started discussing the flowers and photography for their wedding that is to take place this February of 2009.  Their ceremony is at the beach in beautiful Ponce Inlet.  We absolutely love this area of the beach– and in fact, it is one of our favorite places to take the kids during the summer.  We do quite a lot of engagment sessions do there too– but thought that with their wedding at the beach, we should go to a different part of the city for their engagement session.  Greg knew some perfect “secret” location sjust where to take them to get unique backgrounds and romantic shots  Here are some of Rebekah and Chester during their shoot.  We’re looking forward to your winter wedding at the beach!

Katie & Brett: The Wedding Day

Wednesday, November 12th, 2008

Our entire staff was looking forward to October 25th– with excitement and anticipation for sure. We’ve been working with Katie & Brett on all of the DETAILS of their wedding day since early this year. We were thrilled to watch all the pieces of our months of planning come together in a few short hours. That is my favorite part of planning a wedding day. I love the intensity of watching all of the details of our inspiriations, ideas and collaborations come together in one day– it’s a great experience to witness and take part it.

When you get to watch the Bride and Groom, Family & Guests enter a ballroom and sigh “WOW!”– that’s why we enjoy doing what we do. It was a beautiful day and a beautiful couple! We had a wonderful time working with the Youngman & McDowell families… here are some of our favorite images that Greg and Meg captured on the BIG day. All the best to you both!
