Regency Grand Cypress Wedding| Orlando Weddings

2009-11-13T00:19:00.000-05:00

On October 18th we had the opportunity to capture the wedding of Emily & Keith at the beautiful Regency Grand Cypress Resort in Orlando. It had been a few years since we had visited this property and once we were there we remembered why we enjoyed working there. Awesome waterfalls, rock formations and tropical landscaping surround this large resort that gives us a great shooting location no matter which way we turn.

In addition to being a beautiful resort we had the oppurtunity to work with a great team of other wedding vendors. Schuyler and Doug from Perfect Sky Productions were there to capture all the memories on film. Dan from White Rose was there to keep everyone dancing and to light the room with a few of their LED uplights.

Hilton Longboat Key, FL | Wedding Photographer | Associate Photography Packages

2009-05-11T13:29:00.006-04:00

Since this was an associate package and I personally wasnt there I decided to have Nelson write a few words about his experience at this recent wedding. When he retires from photography I think he has a possible career as a romance novelist. =)

Wendy and Sean were married Saturday May 2nd at the beautiful Long Boat Key Hilton. The afternoon was bright and the sun shone proudly during Wendy and Shawn's wedding. They surrounded themselves with their closest family and friends. As Wendy walked down the aisle to see her husband for the first time, everyone felt their bond grow even stronger. As the sun was setting with beautiful yellows and blues in the sky, I took their portraits and immediately felt the bond between the two.

Thank you for inviting Me to document your wedding day and sharing your lives with us. I wish you only the best and many years of love together. Thank you Robert and Sharon for a wonderful stay at Longboat Key I couldn't ask for more. You guys made us feel so welcomed and part of your family. The breakfast was delicious :)

Thank you,

Nelson

Engagement Photos | Amber & Drew | Orlando Photographer |

2009-04-21T11:39:00.004-04:00

A few weeks ago Amber & Drew came into town from Ohio which gave us the opportunity to get to know them a little better and capture some engagement photos in Winter Park. We originally headed out on April 7th and unfortunately we were experiencing well over 20mph gusts of wind and a temperature of about 50 degrees which didn't make it very suitable for photos. Luckily all of us were available the following afternoon which turned out to be a beautiful day.

We are looking forward to their August wedding at the Tuscawilla Country Club. This will be a new location for us so we are excited to have one there since its a beautiful location.

The wedding ran smoothly and on schedule thanks to Jennifer at Rosen Shingle Creek and Kristy Rapp from Kristy Rapp Events.

In my last post we mentioned how busy of a month we had in Nov. We are still playing catch up and appreciate everyone's patience.

This posting is of Jeff & Tara's wedding that we captured back on November 1st at the beautiful Stoneybrook East Golf Club. You will see from some of the photos that this couple just likes to have fun and keep things relaxed.

Shingle Creek Wedding

2008-12-02T19:48:00.005-05:00

Wow! November was a very busy month and we are finally starting to come up for air and get a chance to post some recent events. Our busy November kicked off early this year on Halloween Friday and the continued with 6 more throughout the month along with a few weeks worth of corporate events.

This preview is from our Halloween Wedding at the beautiful Rosen Shingle Creek Resort.. Chymere and Zachary originally met with me when they flew down for the day back in the fall of 2007. This was a great opportunity since we typically dont have the luxury of meeting our out of town clients until the day. Chymere & Zachary arrived into town a few days early for their wedding which also allowed us to meet once again for a quick engagement session and to go over all the little details of their special day. Another luxury we dont typically get with our out of town clients. Like most of our clients Chymere and Zachary were a great laid back couple that didnt seem to be stressed about their special day one bit. I dont know how I always get so lucky to have clients this laid back. =)

Enjoy the Preview!

Erika in Wonderland

2008-10-31T00:57:00.005-04:00

We have been a little behind in getting our posts up lately but we should be getting a few more up after this busy weekend.

This session was done last month for Erika & Chris. They are having a themed wedding next April at Rosen Shingle Creek and decided they wanted something a little different in regards to their engagement shoot. After running a few ideas past us we started brainstorming and came up with something that is totally different than a normal engagement sessions. This short little video is a small sample of what we came up with. We were lucky enough to have Erika secure us a private location allowing us the room and time to do this shoot which required a few wardrobe ,backdrop and lighting changes throughout the day. Thanks to Nelson for supplying the tunes with his IPod Docking Station and for helping shoot, adjust and load in and out of the location. Mandy, our other associate photographer also popped in for awhile since she wanted to be part of this fun shoot.

Thanks Erika for the great props!

Enjoy!

Not the typical Engagement Session!

2008-09-23T14:23:00.004-04:00

This past Saturday we were asked to do a little something different than our normal engagement sessions. Erika and Chris made us think out of the box a little to give them something to fit their Spring 2009 Rosen Shingle Creek Wedding. It turned out to be a fun session and I think we did a great job of capturing their personality in addition to adding some new rockin photos to our portfolio.

The day started around 12:30 to start loading in and setting up. By about 1:30 all of our lights,etc.were in place. We then got a chance to take a look at the outfits and props they provided and started shooting by about 2pm. We added some energy to the session by plugging in the i-phone to some speakers and turning on a Pandora Radio Station.

Thanks for making us think outside the box! =)

Cypress Grove Estate House in Orlando

2008-09-08T01:30:00.001-04:00

This past Friday we had the wedding of Annette & David at The Cypress Grove Estate House in Orlando. This was our first opportunity to ever shoot at Cypress Grove and hopefully not the last. The house and landscaping are beautifully maintained with so many locations to shoot. If you are looking for a beautiful outdoor venue for your Ceremony we highly recommend this place.

This posting has quite a few more photos than what we typically preview on our blog however due to the sudden down pour we encountered during this wedding i wanted to put a few extras so Annette and David along with their family know that we didnt miss a beat and still were able to capture some excellent shots.

We would like to thank Lisa and Chelsea at An Affair to Remember for the exception planning. Even with the storm everything stayed right on schedule and ran smoothly. If you are in the need of a Wedding Design and Management team give them a call!

The Reception was held at the Church Street Station Ballroom and catered by the team at Puff n' Stuff. (Great Food!)

Back in May we had the opportunity to shoot Jay & David's wedding which happened to be the 1st wedding that has taken place at this new venue in downtown Orlando. Its called the Stirling Sotheby's Global Gallery and is located on the rooftop of the new Plaza Building. It was an awesome laid back day which started at the Grand Bohemian Hotel to capture Jay and her bridesmaids getting ready and then moved over to the Global Gallery. For the Cocktail Hour, Ceremony and Reception. We also were lucky enough to witness a great unobstructed view of the shuttle launch with their guests a few minutes prior to the ceremony starting.

The great food was provided by Jeff Paul & his team at Patti Caces.

The music was provided by Jeff Howell and his band. You might recognize the name and the face since he was formerly with the hit morning Radio show Monsters in the Morning but can now be found just about anywhere in Orlando performing nightly.

Tanner Hall in Winter Garden

2008-03-31T23:04:00.005-04:00

As some of you might know we rolled out Associate Photography Packages for 2008 in addition to the wedding packages I shoot personally. With my personal schedule getting busier everyday handling the many different couples and corporate clients we knew the time would come where we had to send our business elsewhere or figure a way to handle the business without sacrificing quality and the customer service we have always provided to our clients. We managed this by bringing on Mandy and Nelson to our team. To learn more about Mandy & Nelson please visit www.didpix.com and visit the team page where you can read their personal bio.

This past Saturday we had our first associate package couple of the season. Jackie & Sadat chose Mandy to capture their special day due to me being previously booked for a wedding at Shingle Creek. Mandy and our newest assistant photographer Tom rocked and created some beautiful images throughout the day. They were married at Tanner H all in Winter Garden.

If you are interested in finding out more info on our associate packages please contact us through our website at www.didpix.com or by calling us.

Orlando Brides / Photography

2008-03-14T15:14:00.006-04:00

We are trying something new this year by actually running an ad in the new Orlando Brides planning book. As most of you know, I do not advertise and rely on referrals and repeat business.

OrlandoWeddingPix.com will become our main wedding site with www.didpix.com being our general company site displaying all of the services we provide.

2008-02-05T13:30:00.002-05:00

Many of my 2007 clients have been asking how my newborn son is since they were aware he was due back in Nov. He is doing very well and is very healthy. As of this weekend he is already 3 months old so we decided to do a few snapshots this morning. We started a little to close to his nap time so we didnt capture to many this morning but plan on taking a few more this afternoon. Here is a few of our favorites from this morning and Jackson's Blog Debut!

Wow! What a busy week!

2008-01-24T11:48:00.000-05:00

Wow! What a busy week and a great way to start off the new year. We had the opportunity to meet with three newly engaged couples this week who all have chosen us to capture their special day. Eileen & Dan will be getting married at the Beautiful Rosen Centre in September. Lauren & Brian will be getting married in December at the gorgeous Rosen Shingle Creek resort which over the last year has seemed to become our home away from home due to their beautiful weddings and corporate events. We also have Kelly & Paul who will be getting married at the private Red Tail County Club located in the beautiful neighborhood of Heathrow Country Estates this April. Kelly was a past bridesmaid at Josh & Shannon's Wedding back in June of 2006 at the Winter Park Civic Center. A few of Josh & Shannon's images can be found in my wedding gallery at www.didpix.com.

Keep an eye out for a sample of their engagement photos in the near future.

We also would like to remind you if you have been considering using us for your special day in 2007 that I limit the amount of weddings I personally do each year to about 35 on a first come first serve basis.(half way there) Due to our growing commercial and corporate photography obligations this has limited my schedule. If I am personally booked on your day we do have a talented team of associate photographers who have been selected over the years due to their experience and creative imagery in the wedding photography industry.

Captivated by Light

2008-01-20T15:00:00.000-05:00

As we do a few times a year we take the time to educate ourselves by studying and observing some of the best photographers in the nation when they stop in town with one of their educational tours. This is something we try to do as our schedule permits to keep up with the trends and new digital imaging technology so we can provide you with great images and products. The first educational seminar our team got to experience this year was done by Ed Pierce and is called Captivated by Light. This seminar was very informative and refreshed our memory of traditional lighting techniques to use during or portrait sessions. We also dipped into some new software that is available and learned some advance techniques in our most used software at our office, Adobe Lightroom. We are looking forward to his next Orlando visit!

If you are interested in scheduling a family portrait or an engagement session please give us a call or contact us through our main site at www.didpix.com.

2007 Digital Imaging Direct Image of the Year

2008-01-08T00:33:00.001-05:00

We have been a little busy finishing up things from the end of the year and realized we havent posted in a few weeks. What we have decided to do was post one of our favorite images from the year. Most of you think of us as mainly wedding photographers since thats what we primarily market to but we actually do alot more. On a weekly basis we do everything from family portraits, kids,newborns, head shots,commercial photographer and events with onsite printing needs. With all of these types of gigs it was very difficult to select a single image to choose to be our favorite of the year.

Our favorite is this photo we titled "supportive father" and is of 3 week old little cooper being supported by his father's arm. The parents of little Cooper were past wedding clients from the summer of 2006 in St. Simon Island,Ga. Their beach wedding images can be found at www.didpix.com
