Dara + Robert’s elegant wedding was held at the Four Seasons Resort, Palm Beach. Despite the raindrops, the day was perfect. The ceremony, moved indoors to the atrium was a vision in white and lavender hues. The ballroom, designed by Xquisite Events was as beautiful as I have ever seen this space, awash in purple, with fabulous dusty plum floral textured linens, pewter chiavari chairs, white monogrammed dancefloor, and an abundance of swarovski crystals dispersing light everywhere.

{ colene + david | mar-a-lago | trump international golf club wedding }

Trump International Golf Club hosted the wedding of “Champions Tour” pro golfer David Frost to Colene Visser, just three weeks after his first place victory at the Toshiba Classic at Newport Beach. Needless to say, he’s having a great year so far!



The bride is a vision as she descends the mansion’s fabulous staircase at Trump’s historical Mar-a-Lago Club in Palm Beach.





She soon ends up in the arms of her groom at Mar-a-Lago’s entrance, then take some time out to play for the cameras.



Mar-a-Lago’s spectacular architecture truly makes for the best bridal portrait backdrop bar none.











Here the groom, poses with his “dapper” pga tour mates, and a set of antique golf clubs gifted to him. Now, if you’re a golf fan, that’s a shot worth framing.




Earlier in the day, the bride readied at a private cottage on the Mar-a-Lago estate.

The gown, by Stephen Yearick, hung on a custom silk/pearl hanger found on etsy.com.

Love, love, love… these pearl bowed Badgley Mischka‘s.

After the bride’s makeup was applied to perfection by Deb of Team Beauti.

The bride got a hug from her bridal party, as they posed in these cute little tanks… who knew “strooimeisie” meant bridesmaid.


The girls helped her into her beaded gown.


Then Colene’s Mom, who flew in flew in all the way from South Africa for the big day, added the final touch…the veil.

And shared a mother daughter moment.


Meanwhile, over at Trump International Golf Club, the groom was prepping, with assistance from his groomsmen and grown children.

Great custom cufflinks!



A little help for dad as he fastens his tie.

And viola, handsome as can be.

The bride, still over at Mar-a-Lago, had some time before leaving for church, so of course, we toured the property.

The foyer…

The patio…


The balcony…

The stairwell…

The fireplace…

The spiral staircase…



The walkways…



The croquet lawn…



The fountain…


Then back to the villas with her bridesmaids…

The bride’s bouquet, by Touch of Paradise, featured a cascade of mini red calla lilies with queen protea from South Africa, to remind the bride of her home.

Custom designed hair hewelry from Bacio Bacio Bridal in wellington, adds just the right amount of bling to this romantic hair style by Whitney of Eleven Spa.

Both bride and groom enjoy one last moment with family, before they are church bound.


The nuptials, at Lakeside Presbyterian, were officiated by their friend and tour chaplain, so the ceremony held extra special meaning for the couple.




Daddy escorted his little girl down the aisle right into Davids arms.




Guests grabbed handfuls of multicolored petals…

And gave the newlyweds a perfect send-off as they exited the church.


Here, is a birds-eye view of the guests posing with the couple in the courtyard before they depart.


The chivalrous groom helps his bride into the awaiting Maybach, a gift to the couple from his friend Donald Trump.



As guests headed to Trump International Golf Club for cocktails, the new Mr. + Mrs. Frost stole away to Mar-a-Lago’s beach club for some oceanfront portraits.










The couple arrived at the cocktail festivities, via golf cart…

As the guests created an arch of antique clubs for their grand entrance.


The went right onto the white monogrammed dance floor for their first dance, beneath the gazebo inspired tent dripping with ivy and crystal chandeliers.



Guests enjoyed private label “David Frost Wines” from the groom’s own South African Vineyard.

The bride enjoyed a dance with her daddy…

And one with her brother, before guests were called into the lavish dinner that awaited in the adjacent ballroom.



The breathtaking reception decor was designed by David Negri, of DN Concepts Event Design + Management.

Florals were created by Touch of Paradise.

The cream fondant cake,with taupe ribbon and crystal accent, was created by Johnson’s Custom Cakes of Wellingon. Inside, a delicious chocolate mocha cake with chocolate ganache and raspberry filling.

Custom monogram by Lori Jayne, and Drapery and Lighting by Globadyne, both for DN Concepts.



Dear friend and pga tour mate, Tom Lehman gave the opening toast, as the happy couple looked on in laughter.


After the 4 course dinner was complete, the cake was cut followed by the bouquet and garter tosses and more dancing.



A decadent room of desserts awaited guests.

As the bride transformed into a “lady in red” donning something a bit more comfy for dancing the night away.

When she returned the party got into full swing.



The End.

{ wishes for a happy spring }

Wishing you all a wonderful Spring! Here are a few outtakes from, my daughter, Kierra’s Easter shoot.





{ danni + colin | boca raton resort + club | engagement photography }

I recently spent a beautiful Sunday afternoon at the historic Boca Raton Resort+ Club capturing Danni + Colin’s engagement session. From beneath the giant Banyan, to the Marina where Colin first proposed, to ice cream floats at Serendipity… it was such a fun day!





















{ samantha + jonathan | ann norton sculpture garden | engagement photography}

Ann Norton’s Sculpture Garden was such a great locale for Samantha and Jonathan’s engagement shoot. We spend the afternoon exploring the lush gardens as well as Mrs. Norton’s own art studio. Such “artistic” fun!!!

Andrea + Daniel’s engagement session was shot in Palm Beach. From a romantic, sultry beach picnic, by the clock tower… to a doggie led walk on Worth Avenue.








{ cappy + vern | four seasons | palm beach weddings }

Cappy + Vern’s Four Seasons moonlit wedding took place at the resort in Palm Beach, as they exchanged vows’s by the sea beneath the stars. Florals by Camden Gardens, coordinated with a great hot pink and mint green palette. Love the southern elements elements incorporated into the day… from Cappy’s awesome “cowboy” boots, to Vern’s Dad’s hat and scarf.

{ jessica + zachary | the breakers | palm beach wedding photography }

Jessica + Zach’s wedding was held at The Breakers, Palm Beach. The ceremony took place beneath blue and blush skies on the Ocean Lawn overlooking the Atlantic, with cocktails and reception to follow at the Beach Club. Post ceremony, the daring couple climbed out onto the jetty of rocks for this exquisite shot, as the brides gown and veil blew in the wind.

Her couture ball gown by designer Sophia Tolli, was the perfect gown for this old world venue.

These Badgley Mischka peau de soie pumps had just the right amount of bling to peek thru and make a statement.

Check out this amazing floral creation by Design Studio by the Breakers. This single bloom does not happen in nature, but was created by hand gluing rose petals together to create the illusion, around a crystal center, complete with metal and rhinestone wrapped stem.

The twelve foot beaded train was a vision.

















































The soon to be newlyweds had a first look earlier in the day, followed by portraits.





And of course, their ha-ha-ha “signature laugh.”


The ceremony began before sunset on the most perfect weather day of the year.










Afterwards, Jess and Zach hit the beach while their guests enjoyed cocktails on the lawn.











Love, love, love… everything about this cake!!!! Inside… red velvet. Yum.









How cute are these little cookie replica favors of the new mr. + mrs.???


Their perfect night ended on a “sparkly” note…



But before they turned in, we couldn’t resist this reflective shot at the breaker’s famed iron doors.

And one last kiss.

The end.
