Hello bloggers…

Well it’s that time of the year where things slow down in every other business in the world except photo studios.  But I’ve been itching to blog this beautiful wedding from Angela and Geoff, and today it is my pleasure to share it with you.  I absolutely loved shooting this wedding and exploring every corner of the Villa by Barton G, formerly the Versace Mansion where Versace himself was assassinated.   Angela, as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside, humble and just a joy to talk to!  Geoff, the groomzilla/wedding planner/most on-the-ball groom I’ve ever dealt with haha, but also sharp like razor and down to earth as well.  Together, the make this explosive couple whose connection you can feel from across the room.  Here are few vitals before I share some eye candy.  Ceremony/Reception: Villa by Barton G, Catering/Decor: Barton G, Wedding Planning: TC Event Event Design, Entertainment: Michael Sarysz, Videography: Merge Studios, and Photography: yours truly, Alain Martinez Photography.

I big thank you to my team without whom I couldn’t do any of what I do.  Looking at these images and remembering that they did a venue transformation from ceremony to reception, plus rain, plus staff members running everywhere, plus 150 guests, it’s obvious that getting these images is no luck or the work of just one man.  Without my team I am nothing!

Enjoy!

I could not pass up the opportunity to see Versace’s former bed (a double king bed), and not get one of my signature-style sexy portraits of my beautiful bride.

The first look…

I hope you all enjoyed these images as much as we enjoyed shooting them.
